VIRTUES IF CEDAR CHESTS DON'T
LAST

THE oid-time cedar chests are com
ing into favor again." says the man.
lser OF one of the department stores.
They have never been entirely dis
used, though the call for them has not
been brisk for many years. STILL once
in a while, a customer would come in
and refuse to be satisfied with any
thing but n cedar chest"
''rhe idea was that the resinous
odor of the cedar kept away moths.
and that clothing packed in a cedar
box was forever secure against any
damage by destructive insects. The
notion, however, is true only in part.
A new cedar chest does confer partia,
immunity for woolen goods; but, in
the course of a few years, the cedar
loses its fragrance and is no more
Of protection than box made of
pine or any other wood But the idea
can not be got out of the peoples
heads that the odor of cedar Is the
death of moths. and as long as they
believe 1t and also use plenty of cam
phor, as most of them do, the belief
in the efficiency of the cedar does no
possible harm"
