POPULARITY OF MILK
INCREASING ON FARM
Cheaper and Fresher in Country
Than in Cities.
Dairy Division OF United States De-
partment OF Agriculture Endeavor-
Ing TO Get Children to Drink
More MIX.

MIX IL plentiful on practically every
farm in the middle West, yet compara.
lively little is drunk by farmers chill
dren. In fact less milk is drunk by
farm boys and girls, taking the whole
country over, than by city children,
statistics show. This. in spite of the
fact that milk II cheaper and fresher
in the country thnn In the city. II is
said that this accounts for the fact
that the proportion Of undernourished
children In the country is larger than
In the city.
To get more children. both In the
city and In the country. to drink more
milk IL the endeavor this year of the
dairy division OF the United States de-
partment Of agriculture. cooperating
with the state agricultural colleges.
During the Inst year six milk cam
paigns have been carried on In Con-
necticut. four IN New Jersey. six In
Mnssn chusetts and one In ench OF n
dozen other states. The Increase In
milk consumption following n cam
paign has been from to 33 per cent
Iowa has been making n special ef-
fort recently to improve the health Of
Its school children In the state by In
ducIng them to drink more milk. The
work started last October with "milk

lures and demonstrations 81 900 people
were reached directly and 100000 indi-
rectIy. Librnries. schools and clubs CO.
operated in the work. and during the
week 4.5OO school children wrote es-
says on the value Of milk.

people are fortunate enough to be able
to send their clothing to q storage
company, which makes q business Of
seeing that moths do not damage gar
ments left In its care. The rank and
file, however. still have to follow
grandmother's methods and pack their
clothes In trunks or cedar chests or
wrap them up and store them on the
closet shelf.
In the fall, when they are unpacked,
there Is always the fear that in spite
found a way in during the summer.
Much Of this anxiety would be un-
necessary If the garment were made
absolutely clean when stored away, and
If It were packed in as nearly an air
tight way as possible.
Thorough brushing should remove
all moths and eggs, but hanging for a
day in the sun and wind also helps.
When the garment is clean, the next
step is to wrap 1t up so carefully that
the moths cannot reach 1t. This can
be done in several ways: Sew it up 10
strong, brown wrapping paper; usa
pastebOard boxes and seal with strips
Of gum paper or place the garment IN
paper bags which are sold for storage
purposes. A most effective method is
to pack the clothing in trunk,
sprinkle in freely napthaline fakes;
when filed place soup plate on top
of the clothing and place three table
spoonfuls of carbon disulphid In the
plate. Close tightly and do not open
again until fall. Care must be taken
in using disulphid to keep all flames
away from its fumes as these are as
explosive as gasoline.
Effective Precaution.
Naphthalene flakes or moth balls
alone, using two pounds In an ordinary
trunk, are most effective for protect
ing clothes from moth infestation and
for killing all stages of the insect.
CamphOr is less effective, and while
red cedar chests readily kill all adult
moths, they do not prevent the hatch
ing of moth eggs. Tests show that
the following substances often used for
the purpose possess no value as
moth "repellents; Tobacco extracts
and powders, lavender flowers, cay
enne pepper, Illspice, cloves. angelica
root, black pepper, bOrax. cOlocynth
pulp eucalyptus leaves, fOrmaldehyde,
hellebore. lead carbonate, lead oxide.
lime, quassia chips, sodium bicarbon-
ate and sodium carbonate.
Brushing. dusting with naphthnlene
flakes or pyrethrum powder and care
full wrapping are the best insurance
against moths. Placing in cedar
chest provides additional safety.

trees. One Of these is shown in tho
picture with handle In black and white
enamel, and this model proves very
practical. Black and white handles,
furnished with large rings to slip over
the wrist when the parasol is furled,
have proved very popular. Hanging
the parasol in this way is about tho
easiest and safest way of caring for Il

bracelet ideas in handles, including
those of narrow black ribbon with gold

set is developed in black silk and white
lace, but the color that underlies the
lace is a matter for individual choice.
