Have Summer Clothes
Laundered Before
Fall Storage

American home makers in the
midst of fall hOusecleaning and
bringing out those fall and winter
clothes should also pay some at
tention to those summer clothes
they're now beginning to put into
storage.
So advises the American Insti-
tute Of Laundering, research and
educational center of the launder-
ing industry. The POliet, Illinois
laundry headquarters warns that
the summer weight blankets and
jackets aren't the only things to
be careful Of when storing. Wool
ems should be laundered, put in
moth crystals and sealed for the
winter; cOttOns and synthetic f.
bers should be laundered and
packed.
Laundering before fall storage
Of any fabrics is important be-
cause of stains, soil, body oils and
perspiratiOn which may become
"set" in the fabrics and is almost
impossible to remove when the
garment is ready to be worn next
season.
Stains such as catsup, mustard,
berries and grass are particularly
difficult to remove once they are
"set" advises A. 1. L. Body oil
stains on the inside collar are i'm
possible to remove without special
treatment and also will pick up
dust in storage if the garments
aren't covered.
When sent to the laundry, the
summers clothes are returned
clean, pressed and like new. If
they are carefully packed in
closed containers they will be ready
for wearing when warmer weather
comes again.
Summer clothes should be stored
in a dry place so that mildew won't
damage them. They should also be
packed loosely so that there are
fewer wrinkles when the time
comes for the garments to be worn
again, says the Institute.

Use ChlOrdane Spray
To Get Rid OF Ants

Ants are a nuisance, and to get
rid Of these unwelcomed pests, use
two per. cent Oil-base chlordane
spray, advises Charlotte Swanson.
home demonstration agent in Kent
County.
Wherever ants are coming in,
spray the outside walls, from the
ground to the windows" she sug-
gests. Apply the spray also to the
lower part of window frames and
around doors. If there is a porch
open underneath, or other open
areas under the house, apply the
insecticide to those areas.
If the ants have nests inside the
house, spray as near the nests as
possible Use a small paintbrush
to make sure you get the insecti-
eide exactly where you want it.
Antsl ike cracks or openings in
floors or walls, and will show up
around electrical outlets and pipes,
around sinks, bathtubs, basebOards,
and window frames.
ChlOrdane is available in nearly
all local hardware or farm supply
stores. It is sold under different
trade names, but there will always
be a statement on the label show
ing that the product contains
chlOrdane.
ChlOrdane sprays have either an
oil or a water base. For indoor
treatments, the best choice is an
oil-base spray, because 1t dries to
an almost invisible coating. It is
less likely to cause spots or strains.
Do not use oil sprays near an open
flame, because they are infam-
mable, or on asphalt tile, because
they will dissolve the asphalt. Nor
on a lawn or garden, or on trees
and shrubs because they injure
plant life Water-base chlOrdane
sprays are recommended for out
door use, reminds the agent.
