When putting away the woolens,
let us not forget that modem science
teaches us several interesting things
about moths.
First, that contrary to old beliefs
—FLYING MOTHS DO NOT EAT
WOOL. I t isi the tir^y worms hatched
from their eggs that do the damage.
Killing flying moths, then doesn’t
guarantee piotection, for invariably,
when seen flying, they have already
cieposited the eggs ori .wolens some
where aboue the house. ■
Moth balls, cedar'-chests and other
“smelly” compounds have no effect on
the hatching of moth eggs. So the
only sure way to combat them is to
mothproof fabrics themselves.
This may be done by immersion.in
it
gasoline; by sprayirg with an odorr
less, colorless moth-proofing solution,
r by washing in water containing an
dorless moth-proof ing\ powder that
gives the same result. This treat
ment makes fabrics so distasteful to
moth worms that they wil starve
rather than feed on them.

Show them how to measure and pre

two-quarts of pure, delicious candy and

A Turquoise Here and There.
With beige, with black, and white,
or hunter’s gre£n or navy, use a bit
of turquoise jewelry, if you would be
up-to-date. This may be a tailored
ring, a pendant, a choker of turquoise
beads or a pair of turquoise blue balls
used as clasps for suede or artelope

Three Shortenings for Cake.
Many modern recipes give us the
alternative of using either butter, mar-
gaiine or whipped cream in making
cakes. When margarine is used for
shortening, a little less is required, for
it contains: less water ai*l more fat
than butter. One and a half cups of
whipped cream equrls a half cup of
butter »or use in car*s.

Boiling Spring’s Unknown Dead.

During the Civil War, when this

At a point on the Lower Three Runs

Truly a household 'staple is the
bottle of tincture of iodine. Each
family should see to it that this friend
of mankind is newly replenished, and
kept within easy neach. What with
the extra garden work, house deaning,
and the dike, smafU'wounds are quite
common, and from these, if unattended
i
.to promptly, may arise trouble rang
ing from mild infection to the deadly
tetanus; it is always wise to take no
chances with the invisible gem.
Never mind about the brown stain
caused by the application of the diug;
I’d rather see a patient spotted all
over with a n effective germ-killer,
than to be called to attend one small
zone of angry “strep” infection. The
advent of mild w r arm wither is most
certainly an awakener iff germ life, as
well as plant life.
A small rocll of good adhesive plas
ter of the very best make, should be
in every medicine cabinet; the “ZO”
meaning zinc oxide, is a good one.
Upon the occurence of the scratch
on the hnnd or finger, immediately
swab it with tincture of iodine; if the
remedy is not near at hand, and appli
cation is thus delayed, wash the mem-

the amount of
bloom you get for the time you spend
upon it. And the size of the garden
is also controlled by the time you car
give it. It would be foolish for you
to have too large a garden.
To get the geatest amount of bloom
with the least time and effort takes
careful planning and the selection of
the right flowers. I am today sug
gesting a group of arnuals that will
give you the maximum bloom at the
least outlay in both cash and care.
These-tem annuals are- of the
culture, a nd every one of them may be
depended uponffo give you their full
quota of bloom. They may all be
started from seed ar|d will require the
minimum care. There are many more
that might be a dded, but these will
give you a good selection for both
garden and display and cutting.
Here are the ten: Cosmos, Batche
lor Buttons, Zinnias, Gyp«ophili a (an
nual), Larkspur, Gaillardia, Nastur-
titmTs, Poppies, Stocks anfl Petunia#;
In this list you have flowers o L f all
heights and can arrange your bor
ders to look well with taller ones in
the rear and the shorter to the front.
In a bolder that is open upon both
sides, plant the taller things in the
center and the_ shorter toward the
edges. Do not follow this rule too
closely, as your borders do not want
to have a set appearance. If you will
study the effects of flowers as "grown
in their wild state, you will learn a
great deal that w iR help you to make
your garden a thing of beauty. The
wild things have a way of their own ir,
growing, and you can get many ideas
from them that will be well worth
