PROCESS SAVES
FABRICS FROM
MOTH DAMAGE
3-Year Insurance Policy Is
Given With Articles
Konate- Treated.

After years of exhaustive tests
with millions of moths, solution
that immunizes animal fibres, in
GLIDING fabrics, rugs, furniture,
clothes and other articles, from
moth damage for period Of three
years, has been produced by the
Mellon institute, University of Pitts
burgh.
More than $4,000 articles used in
these tests, many of them treated
more than four years ago and left
exposed to moths in special test
cupboards, still are unchanged.
Many persons believe the moth
miller is the destroyer. The moth
miller never eats or destroys any
thing. She dies soon after produc-
ing the eggs from which an army of
small worms or larvae will be pro-
duced in from one to three weeks.
Fabric Is Destroyed
These begin at once to feed on
the animal hbres among which the
moth, by instinct, has laid the eggs.
Wool, fur, feathers, silk and hair are
among the choicest foods for the
clothes moth larvae.
AS they eat they grow and become
capable of eating more. This con-
tinues for period Of from fifteen
weeks to three years. They eat the
roots of the fabric or fur and so
destroy many times the actual
amount they eat
In this way articles, the value of
which runs into thousands of mill
lions of dollars, have been destroyed
before the owner had any intima-
ton that an enemy was at work.
Insurance Is Issued
This new solution, being CONNER
cialized under the trade name Ko-
nate, will do away with the needless
destruction, for the mother moth
will not lay her eggs about the roots
of any animal fibre treated with
it. The solution is odorless, stain
less and absolutely harmless to hui
mans.
When applied by a bonded oper-
ator on articles in the home or in
storage, the Lloyds Casualty Com
pany, New York, will issue an in
surance certificate guaranteeing
freedmo from moth damage for
three years.
Konate is handled exclusively in
this territory by the Shank Fire
proof Storage Company, 1890 North
Illinois street. The Shank company
is equipped to Konate anything
from a fur coat to a house full of
furniture and will issue a three-year
insurance policy with each article
treated. The work can be done in
the home without inconvenience or
odors.

BODY REQUIRES
PUREST water
Distilled Product Safest for
Home or Office.

Water constitutes nearly three
fourths of the body. This fact alone
shows the great importance of
drinking only the purest Of water,
water that is capable of absorbing
the maximum amount Of waste,
WORKOUT and poisonous materials
constantly being generated within
the system.
The blood is about 80 per cent
water, the muscles rs per cent, the
brain nearly 80 per cent, and even
the bones contain 10 per cent, and
the teeth 10 per cent Of water.
So if a strong, active, healthy
body, free from pain and disease
and obedient to the will is desired,
none but the purest and most suit
able solid and liquid food should be
supplied to the digestive organs, to
make and keep the body and brain
clean, strong and enduring. Pure
water is the only liquid agent in
existence that will do this.
The question naturally arises.
What water should be used for
drinking and in preparation of va
rious articles of food?
Distillation of water, properly
performed, is the only method by
which water can be rendered free
from all impurities.
The Aquos Products Company,
1923 East Tenth street, has been
producing for a number of years a
distilled water that is completely
purified and free from organic and
mineral matter and all bacteria.
Pure water hardly is second to
pure air as a life-giving and life
preserving agent. 1t is a most
potent servant. A bottle of safe
Aquos distilled water may be OBJ
tanned at the home or Office by
telephoning Cherry 5753.

OFFERS PUBLIC
EXPERT ADVICE
ON ICE BOXES
New Service Provided Here
by Polar Firm Wins
Public Approval.

Popular response on the part of
Indianapolis housewives to the new
refrigerator advisory service inau-
gurated recently by the Polar Ice
and Fuel Company, is reported by
President H. L. Dithmer.
This service was inaugurated by
Polar with the thought that home
makers of today constantly are alert
for any method of improving health,
comfort and economy of the home.
A staff of men of ability and char
acter, trained in essentials of good
refrigeration, has been selected by
the company.
These refrigeration experts have
ben placed at the service of the
public for the remainder of the sum
mer to advise housewives in the
proper ways of using ice to obtain
the most satisfactory service.
Principles Different
Among the valuable pointers
these experts give home owners,
when permitted to do so, are in
formation on the proper places in
ice boxes for various articles. Some
places are more practical for pres
ervation of food than others. By
proper use of ice boxes, Dithmer
said, excessive use of ice may be
reduced.
Before attempting to give this
advice, the service men must in
spect a refrigerator, because all ice
boxes do not function according to
the same principle. The service is
free to all who will grant the ex-
pertS an audience when they pre-
sent themselves at the city'S homes.
Garry Large Stock
For those who are in the market
for ice, boxes, Polar maintains one
Of the largest, ice box displays in
this section of the country, at 1000
Northwestern avenue. There ice
boxes of all sizes, types, colors and
prices may be inspected.
Only the best, most perfectly in
sulated ice boxes are included in
the Polar firms stock. Many re-
frigerators sold today by firms other
than the Polar company, Dithmer
said, are expensive at any price,
poor insulation causing waste of ice,

value is given used car buyers who
deal with the Hare Chevrolet Com
pany, $50 East Washington street.

an o. K. that counts" carries with
it real neutrality-suspicious.,
satisfactory service.
Many minimizing buyers have
suffered through purchasing from a
dealer, who because of lack of
equipment or mechanical ineffi-
cheney and whose only thought is
to make asquick turnover. Many
such INSCRIPTIONS dealers do not
hesitate to unload on purchasers
used cars that do not live up to the
buyers expectation. ----.---
Every used car u in by the
Hare Chevrolet Company on trade
is gone over carefully and placed in
guaranteed mechanical condition
before it is offered for sale.
High Standard Set
The tenders and body have been
given attention needed, the top re-
paired, tires inspected and any
other details needing repairs taken
care of.
Before the car is placed on the
sales floor it must measure up to the
usual high standard of used car
value set by the Hare firm.
Four used car stations, advan-
tageously located in various sections
of the city, are maintained by the
Hare Chevrolet Company. Loca-
tons are: 921 Virginia avenue, Nor

and drivers of business cars find
this service particularly advan-
tageous.

pair or servicing need, or to furnish
any needed part for Chevrolet cars
or trucks. A large force of
mechanics, the most experienced
and dependable men obtainable, is

River. some 800 miles from
Muscle Shoals. This proposed
dam would be built, not as q
power project, but for the con-
troll Of floods, to improve naviga-
ton on the Tennessee River BY
guaranteeing a constant flow of
water and to increase the power
possibilities at Muscle Shoals.
Repay States
The only opposition to this pro
posal revolved around a provision,
granting to the. State of TenneS-
see per cent of the "groSS pro-
ceedS" accruing to the Govern.
ment from sale of power at the
proposed dam.
Another provision In the bill
would give the State of Alabama
a like reward of S per cent Of the
gross proceeds" from sale of
power at Muscle Shoals, in lieu
OF taxes on the property.
1t was defended on the ground
that both States would lose large
areas for tax purposes, due to the
Governments operation and con.
troll of the projects.
There was a strong possibility
the final vote would come during
the day. After that, the bill must
go to the House.

LAKE SUCCESS, L. l.. April

the Lakeville Road, near here, is
fond Of cheese. Late Yesterday
two young men stopped at his
home and offered to sell him 100
pounds of imported Italian cheese
which they said they had stolen
In New York. It was worth rs
cents a pound, they said, but Sa.
barra could have the lot for $50.
Sahara saw a chance for q

ply and paid his money. The
cheese was wrapped in rolls a
foot. long and six inches thick,
with appropriate lavels. Sahara
piled 1T on a table in the kitchen.
A few minutes later, examining
his prize. he knocked one Of
the rolls to the floor. Instead
of landing with a thud, it bounced
high into the air. Sahara began
suspiciously to unwrap the cheese
and found he had bought 100
pounds of fine rubber. The DO
