Dear Doctor: Your associates on

ton, we wish to record our apprecia-
ton of the untiring zeal and rare
good judgment with which you have
administered this Office during the
past II years. We feel that the pub
lie health interests of the state and
that means the people of the whole
state are permanently your debtors.
Your services in this direction an
tedate the establishment of state
board of health, in securing which
you were very largely influential
Your work along these lines will be
increasingly appreciated as time goes
on. 1t is hardly necessary to remind
you that the personal relations which
have existed during these years be-
tween us have been uniformly of the
pleasantest nature, and we are glad
to think that these relations are not
to be wholly severed for at least two
years more. II is the understanding
that your resignation of the office of
secretary does not take effect until
December /, next. We deem il prop
er that this minute be recorded in the
transactions of the board

Many housekeepers have the mis-
taken idea that camphor, mothbails.
o. similar preparations, will ''klll''
moths, OF. prevent their rayages, and
that clothes packed away with plenty
of mothba1ls are safe. Many house
Keepers have learned that this is a
mistake, after losing perhaps valu-
able garments.
The fact Of the matter is that
mothbalis, scamphor, cedar, etc.. are
not moth killers, but only moth re-
pellents, that is, clean clothes free
from moth eggs. properly packed
away with moth repellents, will not
attract the adult moths. -
THE Household editor of Farm
and. Home. says: ''The proper way
ITO pack away wooden winter clothes
is. first to air and brush thoroughly,
ito make sure that no moth eggs
have found Judgment in them. They
may be packed in any receptacle, as
long as lis free from cracks. Line
with several thicknessss Of newspa-
per, and pack away clothes with lay
ers of newspapers between and
camphor or mothballs wrapped in
paper. Tuck each layer OF newspa-
per in we'll around the clothes
newspaper Cor rather the printers
ink5 Is another moth repellent..
Have the top layer paper, put the
cover on, and seal by pasting paper
over the cracks.
ssatFhat is-allrthere is to 1t. Put
the clothes away in a clean, moth
free State, and seal them up so
no moths can possibly get in. Furs
can be packed away and securely
sealed in heavy paper bags-using
two bags one within another, each
carefully sealed and they will be
perfectly safe.
