Clothes May Be Protected
From Damage by Moths by
the Use of Simple Methods

Clothes moths, injurious to woolens
and furs, may be controlled by use of
simple methods, according to George
A. Dean, professor Of entomology In
the Kansas State Agricultural col
lege.
Repellents will not protect fabrics
If they have become infested, pointed
out Professor Dean. Even to depend
upon such repellents as camphor,
mothballs, or even TOBACCO, will prove
more or less unsatisfactory. CASTOR
woolens should not be stored in dark
closets or in attics, where they will
breed insects that feed on animal mat
ter. The floors and corners in closets
should be kept clean.
Articles in daily use. such as car
pets, rugs and clothing, are not likely
to become seriously infested. Wooden
garments, furs and plumes stored in
dark closets. wardrobes or bureau

Japanese Form Unions and
Will Demand Higher Wages.

Agricultural and commercial unions
are forming in many parts Of Japan.
One Of the most noticeable results Of
the European war is the advancement
in geographical and commercial knowl-
edge acquired by the working people
from the newspapers. They have i'm
proved to remarkable degree in in
formation about the rest of the world.
Prior to the war, the laboring classes
knew almost nothing about the rest of
the world. Due to the enterprise Of the
Japanese journals in chronicling the
progress Of events, the entire popula-
ton is fully informed.
The japanese people have become
cosmOpolitans, says the East and West
News. They are contented, because
plenty of work offers; but they have
learned about the wages paid in other
parts Of the world for labor similar to
theirs and are very likely, after the
war, to insist on higher wages. Opin-
ion is general that skilled workmen in
japan will insist on better remunera-
ton.

You cannot get over the shock you

You met the situation by glaring

threatened to whip her If she were
not more obedient.
Ever since then you have been won
dering where she got that wicked ex-
preston in her eyes.
As you thought about it your face
took on the same look, and you have
just realized that that is the way you
often look at her when she disobeys
you.
You have nagged her for days try.

You never thought Of how you have
looked to her as you fused and TUNED

Never let your face take on an e1'

to see reflected in your daughter.

Deaf Men Found to Be Best
Workers in Noisy Factory

The war is developing new labor
conditions and problems. Probably the
most unique instance which has come
to light is contained in request made
Of the labor bureau of the Ohio branch
Of the national defense council by an
Ohio manufacturer, says the Columbus
Dispatch.
~ want from twenty to thirty deaf
men. If they are deaf and dumb both,
II won't make any difference" This
was the request made by big Ohio
manufacturer. II will pay them from
$3.50 to $3.50 per day and give them
steady work. I want to put them to
work in one branch Of my factory
where the noise Is so great that 1t is
impossible to keep hearing men on
the job. I tried couple Of deaf men
and they have proved so successful
that want score or more of them"

HALF A CUP OF MILK
"Many a MickIe Makes
Muckle."

Half cup of milk-whole,
skinned or sour-a seemingly trifing
matter-hardly worth the trouble to
keep or use.
In many households quite a little
milk is wasted-left uncovered In
glasses-regarded as useless because
the cream has been skinned off-al-
lowed to sour-poured down the sink
or thrown out.
Now, If every home-there are TO-
100000 of them-should waste on the
average one-half cup daily, it would
mean q waste Of 100000 quarts
daily-912, 100000 quarts a year-the
total product Of more than 100000
cows.
It takes a lot of grass and grain to
make that much milk-and an army Of
people to produce and deliver 1t.
But every household doesn't waste
a half-cup Of milk a day? Well, say
that one-half cup Is wasted In only
one out of q hundred homes. Still in
tolerable, declare government experts,
when milk is so nutritious-when skim
milk can be used in making nutritious
soups and cereal dishes-when sour
milk can be used in bread-making or
for cottage cheese.

His Check Was Too Biz.

Matthew White, Jr., cashier at the
Hotel Belvfdere, In Baltimore, has had
many requests made of him and he
thought he was immune from surprise
until a guest from the far West
stepped up to his window and asked
him If he could cash check.
Certainly" said Mr.. White, "that's
what I am here for. How will you
have it, fives, ten or small changer?
mot particular" said the guest lay
ing down a United States treasury
check for $4,000.
When Mr.. White recovered he owned
up that he did not have quite that
much money in his cash drawer.
But" said Mr.. White, "leave 1t with
me, and I will send it to the subtreas-
ury and you can call for the money in
the morning."
The stranger explained that it was
just q little joke. The check was
good, and had been given to him in
Washington in payment for three ships
sold the government.

Just Between Friends.

OF all the friends you have, don't
you get the most comfort and satisfac-
ton from the one who never disap-

If she says she will meet you at one
o'clock, you know you will see her at
that time, and on the dot.
Her clothes seem to look fresher and
crisper than those Of your other
friends.
Her smile is more ready and whole
some.
Her eyes are brighter and more ,ex-
pressive.
Her hands and feet are more trim
and neat.
Blessed be the woman who has
learned the value of time.
Most men, the successful ones at
least, know the value Of time.
It is all right to be Temperament
tai" but when 1t comes to keeping an
engagement, forget temperament.
1t does not signify that you are pop

ments just because you are careless in
keeping those you make.

drawers suffer most. The greatest
damage is done in the summer when
wOolens and furs are not in use and
the moths are most active.
If such garments and materials that
are not to be used are carefully
brushed, beaten, summed and placed in
tight pasteboard boxes, the joints Of
which are sealed with gummed paper,
they will go through the summer in
comparative safety. Such articles
may also be protected by inclosing in
paper bags and hanging free of the
floor-in closet or in the attic. Cloth
ing put away in closet or wardrobe
should be brushed and summed before
storage and carefully examined at
least once month throughout the
summer.
Trunks or boxes in which clothing
Is to be stored should be cleaned and
treated with gasoline. The clothing
to be packed away in them should
first be beaten, brushed and summed.
In addition to this, garments should
be fumigated with carbon bisulphide
at least once month.

Our souls are attuned to the worlds

For we need SO much in the rush of
life.
We need so little when life is done
And the spirit scars from its chrysalis:
From our careless fingers. one by one,
Drop the useless treasures we shall not

or prizes and praises so hardly won,
We Will barter them all for a dreamless
sleep
For we need so little when life is done!

last clubs in the American League
Johnson pitched caliber of ball that
made him stand out more prominently
and above the pitchers who were on
winning teams. It has often been re-
marked that had Johnson been with
the Cubs, Giants, Tigers or Athletics
when those teams were winning pen
nants he would have established some
pitching records that would have stood
for all time.
And Joe Jackson has been prevented
from playing in a worlds series be-
cause he happened to be under con-
tract to the hard-luck Cleveland team
up to last year. There is still a
chance for Jackson realizing his ambi-
ton, as he, Is now with a team that
has been in the thick of the pennant
race for two seasons, and Joe should
be good for several more years before
he starts on the path which all players
eventually travel-backward.
AS for Johnson, there are at leaA
four clubs in the American League
that are SO far ahead of the Senator's
that Walter will have little opportu-
nifty of getting into a worlds series
unless he Is disposed of to another
club, or unless Clark Griffith becomes

Preserve surplus fresh eggs in wa
ter glass or limewater.
A small number Of chickens can be
kept In almost any backyard.
They can be fed to large extent on
table scraps and vegetable waste.
Their eggs should make substan-
tial addition to the family food sup
ply.
They can be housed at small ex.
pense in piano boxes or other large
packing cases.
Surplus cockerels from hatchings
and old hens will take the place Of q
considerable quantity Of purchased
meat.
Separate ROSTERS from hens after
the Matching season and produce in
fertile eggs. Such eggs are mich more
easily kept in good condition than fer
tile eggs.
The greatest success in successful
poultry raising for market and eggs
is to know your flock thoroughly, know
which are the producers and get rid
Of the drones.
Keep q box Of dry bran where the
hens can have access to 1t. Feed the

growth. They ought to keep on grow
