BEWARE OF MOTHS.
Put away all your woollens and. furs in moth-proof bags or boxes, in cedar chests or in cold storage, or get cedar sawdust or mothballs or something of 'the 'sort to put with them when you patek the winter stuff away. Otherwise, when you get these articles out in the autumn, you will be grieved to find holes where the moths have pastured. To have them dry cleaned or at least well sunned and brushed is a good precaution 'before you put them away, to be certain that you do not pack them away with moths or moth e'ggs in them. The moth 'bag or moth repellants will not kill moths nor destroy ■their eggs, but will keep out moths not already infesting them. Wrapping furs in other layers of newspapers is a good precaution, Moths are sensitive, and hate the odour of print.
