PatchoulI for Moth Prevention.

P~atchouii Tor MOTH prevention.
The fragrant dried roots of the
patchouli, reports Special Agent Gar
rard Harris, are held In great esteem
in Porto Rico, and 1t is the general be-
lief In the island that when placed
among clothing and In closets they are
a sure preventive of moths. In the
earlier days of the century the per-
fume of p%atchouli vas in great favor.
1t Is believed that II the properties
OF patchouli we're more generally
known there would be q demand for
1t in the United States in preferences
to moth balls. II should have as much
vogue as lavender for putting between
sheets and placing among garments;
and IL 1t were manufactured or
shredded into a finer substance and
sold In small bags 1t would be a de-
cided novelty that undoubtedly would
prove popular. Great quantities of IL
grow wild In Porto Rico. and q de-
mand for 1t from the United States
would afford employment to many OF
the poor country people. In Porto
Rico natives bring the patchouli to
town and sell 1t In small bundles that
retail at two to five cents.
