WAGE WAR ON THE MOTH. Ask for a trial pacKage today. a aw = ad Although clothes moths may become . destructive in warm rooms at any "season of the year, the summer months offer the most favorable con- ditions and therefore winter clothing stored for the summer becomes niost «subject t6 moth infestation. A little care now in storing woolen stuffs and furs or later when winter clothing is laid away may prevent much damage and re antic next remove the fear and anxiety of ipating moth-eaten garments as winter approaches. Brushing, miring, cleaning and careful and pro- per storage are the best safeguards against the clothes moth. Garments to be stored for the sum- mer should be brushed thoroughly and hung out-of-doors for a day exposed to the sun and wind. Be sure to brush under lapels and cuffs, in pockets, and | other places where dust may collect. The closet in which the clothes are to be kept should be thoroughly clean. They should then be wrapped care- fully in strong brown paper and plac- ed in pasteboard boxes and sealed with ie gum paper, in paper bags which are sold for storage purposes, or in a cedar chest. Naphthalene flakes sprinkled over the clothing before wrapping offers one of the best pro- tections from moth infestation and this insecticide which evaporates slow- Jy does not harm fabric. chest A cedar provides additional safety since the cedar odor ig itself repellant to the clothes moth. Once a garment becomes infested with the clothes moth immediate mea- sures must be taken to destroy the insect. This may be accomplished by several methods. Immersing in water at a temperature of 140 d. F. for 80 to . 45 minutes kills all stages of the in- sect. Placing the infested clothes in tight box and sprinkle liberally with naphthalene will kill many of the in- sects. DRIVE AWAY THE BOGEY MAN.

JELLY ROLL THAT ROLLS. Most children like jelly roll, and I find it a good cake to bake, even for company, when one is in a hurry. I formerly had trouble in rolling them,' however, for often they would crack, | but I have no trouble since I adopted the plan of turning the sheet of cake out on a cloth wrung out of hot water. I also use light brown sugar instead! of granulated, using just a bit mo ,! as it is not quite so sweet as the' granulated. I often heat some jelly, or preserves and stir into'it marsh. | mallows cut up into bits, about a half, dozen. This makes a nice change in' the mixture to spread on the cake before 'rolling. Instead of the jelly] I sometimes use an icing to which shredded cocoanut or finely chopped nut meats are added.--M. M. | i 1 SLEEPYLAND SECRETS. Our little wide-eyed Josephine Went down the path to play, And up from out of fairyland Came trooping elf and fay. They ran with her and skipped with her; Then, where the grass was. deep, They snared her into Drowsyland And left her there asleep. They tucked her into coverlets Of tufted grass, and, lo, We could not find our Josephine, No matter where we'd go, Until a dancing butterfly Came'down the winds to tell About a 'wee babe sound. asleep Beside a fairy well. And that was little Josephine, Our little wide-eyed one, Who never wants to go to sleep Though all the day be done. How did"they make her go to sleep? What was the magic spell That lulled our baby into dreams-- Can anybody tell. Jay B. Iden. A PRETTY FROCK FOR MOTHER'S GIRJ. 4708.
