REMEMBER

1. Moth balls, camphor,
cedar, tar paper, benzine,
ETC., keep the egg-laying
moths away, but do not kill
the eggs or wool-eating lar
vac in the garment.
2. Thorough brushing and
exposure to sunshine is most
efficacious remedy for moths.
8. A mothproof storage
box can be made from a tai
lor's box by sealing the lid
crack with paper strips
gummed on. But be sure to
brush all eggs and larvae
from garment before putting
1t in box.
4. Linen, cotton or paper
bags, made without cracks,
are excellent for storage
against moths.
5. Examine all stored gar
.ments once month.
6. Valuable furs should
be kept in cold storage dur
Ing moth time. Have the
cold storage people submit
the furs to two or three
changes of temperature before
placing them permanently in
an apartment kept at 40 de-
grees.

One can kill moth worms Gar
Ivae) in a garment by thoroughly
saturating the garment with gaso-
line and touching a lighted match
to 1t. Or you can vary the process
by soaking the garment in sui
phuric acid. But in either case
the garment is totally destroyed
by the time the larvae are dead
and you might just as well let the
larvae go ahead and have their
own way about 1t.
In fact, there is nothing you
can put on" to ikll moths that
won't ruin the garment, except ell
bow grease.
By beating and shaking and
bushing all the eggs and larvae
from a garment and exposing IL
to the air and sunlight for a while,
and then sealing it up in a tight
box, you will keep moths from it,
though even then it is a good plan
to examine the garment about
once a month during the summer
Moths are a very old institu-
ton. The ancients knews moths
The bible speaks about laying UP
teasure on earth where moth and
rust doth corrupt"
A 1910 A. ID. moth, who is
never happy unless feeding upon
the very latest style from Paris
or London, wouldn't speak to a
1910 B. G.. moth, who never got
anything to eat better than a
coarse toga. But, on the other
hand, the toga moth would have
put on a lot of side If he had met
up with Stone Age moth, who
never had anything to eat better
than loin skin cloth.

is to lay eggs. She has so many
eggs to lay and SO little time tc

moth does not like the smell OF
moth balls, and will keep away
from them, but once the egg is
laid all the moth balls on earth
won't keep it from Matching and
the worm from eating, for the

On the contrary she has done
nothing of the sort. She has, in
deed, rendered humanity a service
in squashing the little flutterer,
because by that one slap she has
killed in the root a very large
family tree.
But the little moth that flutter-
ed blindly in to the light had no
such voracious designs as the
careful housewife attributed to
1t. Science has demonstrated that
the moth hasn't any eating appa-
ratus in working order, by a series
of careful experiments.
In the first place, science cap
tured a hungry-looking female
moth and put her in a glass tank.
Then she was offered various
Ivictuals supposed to be tooth
some to moths.
First she was offered an ordi-
nary squirrel tippet. She lit on
1t for a moment, but absolutely
refused to eat. Then science
handed her a very valuable sable
muff. She disdained it. AS a
last resort $1,000 sealskin

Science was in despair, and
went out and bought the finest
broadcloth dress suit that could
be purchased.

Mrs. Moth refused to eat.
