Tackle These Pests In Their Breeding
Places. Says Government Expert. and
the Result VIII Be Mere Apparent.
Some Precautions.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-08-31

Look over the rest of your day. What
q you put into the. minutes in which you
are tarrying the leisure of the oven
or the kettle? How about the quarter hour
before the bread is ready to be baked or the
half hour you must wait to put the vegeta-
bles over the fire? What do you do with
those? How do you spend the time when
you are expecting the children home and
feel you cannot settle down to anything
steady until they get in? Have you never
known mothers who pass the interval going
from the window to the door and back
again? / have-plenty of them.
So if you examine your ordinary day you
are likely to find anywhere from ten MN
utes to an hour that you have nothing to
show for Don't for moment imagine
that am taking account of the time you
appropriate to rest or recreation. That is
well spent. The nap you force yourself
TO take in the afternoon, the run in the fresh
air that brightens you as nothing else does
these are not to be cut out or abridged for
the sake of anything in the line of work.
The wasted time is what we are discuss
ing now.
Suppose l find it, what am to do with
needlework. l have so much l can't escape
in the way of plain sewing that anything
more of that sort would tire me. Random
reading doesn't appeal to me. What sug-
gestion is there for me for the minutes 1
might save by your plan?"
The answer to that question depends a
good deal upon the sort of things that inter-
est you, that you like to do, or that you want
to do. What is there which appeals to you
particularly, which you wish to accomplish
but complain that you never have time for?
If you could tell me that possibly 1 could
make few helpful suggestions.
A woman whom l once knew who was
especially fond of rather fine and fancy
cookery and had much to do outside her
kitchen used to garner her spare moments
and spend them in compounding delcacies
for her family and friends. She would
make jar of marmalade or a glass of jelly
from the odds and ends of fruit, or lemon
honey for cake filing, or white and brown
thckening (roux) to have in readiness for
soups and gravies, or maitre d'hotel butter
for parsley sauce, or mayonnaise dressing
that she might not need for two or three
days to come, or a pastry for tarts or cheese
fingers When she had little time she flew
to her pantry, where there was always
something waiting to be done. Does this
attract you?
If you are one of those who don't care for
magazines and casual reading why do you
not plan for some hing really worth while
In study to put into the minutes you find
vacant? l know hard working man who
for years has kept up his French by giving

Three quotations always occur to rusfn
connection with such precious moments
spent at random. All are different. but
each one applies to some phase of the situ-

The first is passage from the Biblei

The second is a rhyned couptet whose

she takes all care of it herself with the

So many helpless men and women have

hope the same good fortune may be ahead

q wheeled chair in memory Of his father.
The father used it for some time before
his death and since then the son keeps
the chair IN service constantly. little

memorial and the chair is loaned for any
length of time that an invalid needs it.

that took a prize. The plums prepared by

Two quarts of green plums, one and
one-half tablespoons mustard, two and one
half tablespoons OF salt, two quarts Of
vinegar. Place plums in stone jar With

Now come with a request Can you
tell me how to get rid of moths? Our house
seems to be full of them; not only the
clothes closets, but the pantry and other
rooms. They just futter all over the place
and get into everything in spite of all can
do. l nope you can suggest some good
remedy. MRS. c. B."
The directions for converting green
plums into olives" may come little late
to be Of service this year. but it is of su.-.-
cdent value to be saved for next season.
As to the moths, my suggestion is some-
what drastic in nature. Ii the moths are in
full possession. the best plan is to get at
them vigorously and try to stamp them out,
SO that they will not be a plague again
next year. Your rugs should come up and
be vigorously teaten and then hung in the
sun. The floors should be scrubbed and in
sect powder put into all the cracks. The
sneves OF the closets-indeed. the entire
inside-should be scrubbed with hot water
and household ammonia, and when this 5
dry insect. powder should be blown into
the cracks. Bureau drawers should receive
the Same treatment, and all clothes SHOULD
be carried out and beaten well. I have
known house to become infested by moths
from an old fur muff having been over
looked and left in box tucked away in he
corner of a closet. The moths used it for
a breeding ground, and from this spot pop-
ulated the house. If they seem to be under
the carpets, lay damp cloth over these at
the edge and press with hot iron. The
addition of turpentine to the water en-
ployed in securing the floors and shelves Is
said to be potent In driving away the moth
as well as in destroying life in the eggs.
You have tiresome and taxing work
ahead Of you to get rid Of these pests. but it
can be done.
