Dear Folks: I had several letters
last week asking the same important
question, and instead Of answering
separately will do my best to give
helpful answer here so all the house
keepers can read.
The question was, "Can you tell
me how to get rid of moths in win
ter clothes?"
I gather that what was desired
was a preventative to keep winter
things now in the process Of being
put away for next winters use, free
from the inroads of the destructive
moth.
The only really successful method
that I have ever tried has been as
follows:
Have every garment CLEAN be-
fore putting away, the moth thC1ves
in old dust or possible grease spots.
If you haven't cedar chest send
to a drug store and buy several moth
bags or if you have a wooden box
that you can make practically AR
tight, possibly some packing trunk
would answer, get from, the drug
store several packages Of the ceda1
dust or shavings, put this thick be
tween each fold of the garments.
Trust that this Will be helpful to
many of you worried housewives.
Cordially,
AUNT JULIA.

Says she will return the favor any
way she can.
Joan-It is not necessary to have
an elaborate meal in this hot wealth
err. 1 can understand your desiring
to put the very best foot forward
when your husbands friends and
relatives from a distance come to
see you. Don't make the mistake
of trying to initiate city ways; they
will neither expect nor wish that;
be your natural self.
You say that your cook is very
fair and that her daughter can help
you in the house while they are
visiting you. I would certainly take
advantage Of that; it will give you
more time with them and make them
more comfortable if they do not feel
that you are overriding for them.
Follow out these lines for your
meals. For breakfast have your
beverage, Of course, and If they wish
coffee, do have it good. Have some
fresh fruit, grits or soft cooked
rice, breakfast bacon and eggs;
change your hot breads each morn
ing, and alternate your breakfast
bacon with broiled ham, or if you
have a stream near enough to you,
fresh water fish. For dinner (you
say you are accustomed to have it
in the middle Of the day, 1 would
not change the hour have light
soup; il you know how to make a
jellied consomme, that is particu-
larly good at this hot season (send
me a stamped envelope if you wish
the recipe); then your meat, with
couple Of well-cooked vegetables,
bread, butter and some relish. When
L thought of dessert I'd try to have
fresh fruit whenever possible, and
ice cream served with the fresh
fruit on top is particularly good.
For supper have things cold. A
nice salad, cold meat, beaten biscuits
and a glass of good jelly or jam;
have a cold drink with this meal.
,,r,I,
me a stamped envelope for a reply.
Mary B-You need to use your
head a little. 1t is useless for any
girl to continue making embarrass-
ing breaks. I think some girls start
that sort of thing, thinking it is
funny; it is not. Keep your mind
on what you are saying; try to be
interesting, not funny.
