To Deal With the Clothes
Moth

N Il this season Of the year the tiny,
IA yellOwish moth which is seen &C.
casionally fitting about the light
at night Is an indication to the house
keeper that clothes moths are begin
ming their work Of destruction. In
other words. egg laying by these little
moths is now under way. and within a
month the eating Of woolens and furs
by the tiny caterpillars coming from
these eggs may be anticipated.
The moths which are thus attracted
TO the lamps at night or fly away from
garments or portieres when these are
handled do not themselves eat any
thing and could not eat II they wanted
to, as they have no biting or chewing
mouth parts. The destruction, as ev-
cry housekeeper knows. is occasioned
entirely by the tiny larvae working
underneath scanty webs or In the little
cases made from particles of the gar
ments on which they feed. webbed to.
gether by a whitish silk.
As early as possible in the season all
woOlens, furs, ETC., the use Of which
can be dispensed with should be put
away in safe storage for the summer.
Before being packed away such arti-
cles should be thoroughly brushed and
beaten and II possible exposed to the
strong sunlight for several hours out
Of doors. The brushing is very impor-
tant in order to remove the eggs or
young larvae which may have escaped
notice. Articles so cleaned and summed
should then be put away in mothproof
containers. Materials which cannot be
thus put away should be given the
same thorough cleaning and reinspect-
ed during the summer, preferably ev-
cry two weeks In no case should such
examinations be at intervals Of greater
than three weeks or a month.
Wooden clothing, furs, etc, may be
packed away safely for the summer
BY incl0sing them in several wrapplngs
Of paper or in wen made bags Of cot
ton or linen cloth or in paper sacks.
which can be tied or otherwise secure
" fastened to prevent ingress Of the
moths. In these packages can be
placed such repellents as tobacco dust.
camphor. naphthalene cones or balls.
cedar chips, etc. The odors Of these
substances are disagreeable to the par
ent moths and act as a repellent, but
they will not kill eggs or larvae which
may be inclOsed In the packages;
hence the necessity Of the thorough
going cleaning and airing prior to pack.
ing away. The same precautions are
needed with cedar chests and ward
robes.
The best means Of protection from
clothes moths and method now avail
able In all larger towns are the refrig-
Grating rooms provided for that pur-
pose In practically all storage ware
houses. and the adoption Of this meth
cd Is strongly recommended
Rugs or carpets put away for the
summer should be first thoroughly
cleaned on both sides and beaten and
then wrapped up in tight rolls protect
ed by wrapping with tar paper. The
additional covering or baling with bur-
lap Is not necessary except where the
rolls or bales are to be transported or
will require considerable handling.

DRYING VEGETABLES.
How to Preserve Them Successfully
by q New Method.

How to Preserve Them Successfully
by New Method.
Mrs Fl. B. Fullerton and Mrs. Nellie
r. Snyder. two experts on canning and
preserving, have prepared the follow
ing formula for drying fruits, vege-
tables and other food products:
Begin the temperature for small
fruits and corn low, at 100, and gradu-
ally increase to 175, being careful not
to burn. For all other fruits and vege-
tables start at 175, work downward and
close at 100.
In average climates eight to twelve
hours will be required, but where the
moisture Is great or much dampness
prevails a longer time will be required
for drying. Usually 1t takes from eight
to ten hours to dry perfectly. Then the
products should be thrown together,
away from the heat, and stirred occa-
sionally to 60 through q sweat, 30 to
speak, and then placed In paper cartons
and kept in q dry place.
Here are directions for caring for In
cubators:
After the Matching season Is over for
chickens do not let incubators remain
idle, but make extra trays. have the
doors partly open and use them as dry
ers.
Sun drying can be done in the old
fashioned way, but will take from three
to five days longer in ordinary climates
near the water. During the close Of the
last period stir and let 60 through
sweating.

Fsms's Brief Life.

One thing Is certain in regard to
fame, for most Of us it will be very
brief in itself; for all OF us 1t will be
transient in our enjoyment of 1t. When
death has dropped the curtain we shall
hear no mere applause. and, though we
fondly dream that 1t will continue after
we have left the stage, we do not real
lie how quickly 1t will die away in ST.
lence while the audience turns to look
at the new actor and the next scene.
Our position In society will be filled as
soon as 1t is vacated and our name re-
meinbered only for a moment except,
please God, by a few who have learned
to love us not because of fame, but be-
cause we have helped them and done
them some goOd.-Henry van Dyke.

Goodyear Agent Advises Mo-
florists Heed Advice of
Manufacturers

A threatened scarcity Of tires during
the present season, upon which thu
war will have some bearing, will at
least have the effect Of making the
motorist heed the advice Of the large
tire manufacturers in the proper care
of the tires.
We have never advised, from sell
fish point of view, that motorists give
their tires every care and attention, ''
said J. X. McAlpine. Of the Sehumau
Carriage Co, agents for the B. F. Good
rich Rubber company. CAN Of the
literature which we have issued Oh
this subject has been given with the
idea of educating automobile owners
that they might get maximum service
from them. The seriousness Of this
advice will be brought home to thou
sands Of motorists during the present
year, for the approximate waste Of $50
per car owner during the 1916 season
has been conseryatiyely estimated at
$150,000,000 for The entire country.
And all of tnis has been due to
negligence on the part Of the car own
er. The tire manufacturers see hun
dreds of living examples of this negli.
gence every day. A remedy must soon
be effected, for this extravagant waste
cannot continue. II has almost beeu
impossible for the IRE manufacturers
to keep pace with the production OF
new cars and at the same time meet
the demands Of the cars already in
use.
An actual shortage in certain sizei
exists at this time. Due to the alert
ness of great many dealers, It may
be two or three months before the
consumer feels his shortage, but It
must come, and when it does, it is
then that motor car owners viii be
more impressed with the idea Of Civ.
ing their tires the care they should
have and THEREBY add much to the
service they win give. The averag,
manufacturer is looking for all the
business he can get, but the problem
of meeting the present demands rathe-
