any OF the so called scareaways Of the moth

that there are no moths in the furs when put

small skins in the centre OF a cask OF tobacco

This shows that they are not delicate and care
nothing for tobacco. Expensive cedar closets
are frequently constructed with the idea that the

articles Of clothing deposited there. This is
mistake The strongest instinct prompts the

s perfectly simple, cheap and easy. Shake them
veil and tie them up in a cotton or linen bag,
so that the miller cannot possibly enter, and the
articles will not be injured, though the bag is
hung in a wo0dhOuse or garrett. This Is cheaper
than TO build cedar closets, aud better than TO
