cORRESPON DENTS

Dear Miss Grey am. a young
widow. A married man who does not

Dear Miss Grey: Do you know how
buffalo moths get into a house, and
how one can rid a house OF these
pests? DISTRACTED.
Att is almost impossible to get
rid of these beetles, and they are
most destructive. Wooden articles
which appear to be attacked by
moths should be beaten, brushed, ex-
posed to the sun, and then placed In
a closet which has been previously
cleaned thoroughly. all cracks painted
with turpentine, and a bottle OF tur-
pentlne left standing open In 1t. A
constant fight must be carried on, as
moths are cunning and can easily Ell

MORE ABOUT T0USEL HEADS DREAMS


Tousel Heads papa said, son,
That's strange tale you've begun,
But / like such dreams so we'll,
That each one you must now tell"
And the lad said, Daddy dear,
What I've told may seem so queer,
But you know in Dreamland they
Do things in diff'rent way.
On great lawns the children run,
Having loads and loads of funl
There they play games strange and queer
Nothing like we play down here
And they never cry nor fight,
Cause they know it isn't right;
There they ride on big June Bugs,
Down wide streets all paved with rugs
There the men, with might and main,
Wiring out Clouds to make it rain,
And Silk Worms make fluffy quilts,
While Mosquitoes walk on stills.
AS | stood and watched the fun,
Two big Snails race did run;
Then the queen came down the street,
Dressed so very clean and neat,
And from out crooked lane,
Crowds of Bugs came with her train
Crickets, Reaches and some Gnats,
Wearing big and funny hats
Then she stopped and said to me,
"All these Bugs are good, you see;
Only children who will mind,
This dear Dreamland ever find;
Naughty boys and girls, you see,
Cannot come to visit me-"
