Nothing is more upsetting than finding that a favorite
winter suit has been damaged by moths. You can avoid
such losses by following some simple rules when storing
winter clothing this year.
Sound protection against moths is quite unspectacular—
it is so simple that few people follow the necessary pattern.
First of all, the most effective moth preventive mea
sure is to purchase woolens and wosted, labeled “MOTH
RESISTANT”. Let the manufacturer worry about keeping
away the moths.
However, everyone has garments in their wardrobes
that need special moth protection. A moth-resistant treat
ment can be applied to woolens at the cleaners which is
effecive in preventing moth damage. This application is
hot permanent and has to be repeated each time the arti
cle is re-cleaned.
Most professional cleaners apply a moth-resistant treat
ment to garments cleaned from April to late August.
Therefore, the customer is often protected from moths
without realizing it. Os course, if a garment is not worn
frequently, even during the winter months, an individual
may wish to request the resistant-treatment at all times
during the year.
Wuethcr protected against moths or not, all stored
articles should be clean above everything else. A thor
ough cleaning rids fabrics of any insect life, and moths and
carpet beetles are not as attracted to clean garments as
to 'potted or stained items.
I professional dry cleaning, or thorough laundering, are
I the best methods of preparing clohtes for storage. Hang
ing garments in the sun and brushing will also remove or
crush eggs and larvae.
Killing moths in flight helps relieve the frustrations
of a housewife who sees 'the insect, but this might be
classed as occupational therapy. The only value of seeing
flying moths is to know that they are around.
The moth egg represents the most vulnerable period
of the life cvcle. If clothes are vacuumed, the eggs will
fall out and be destroyed. The larval state which follows
the egg is the period when the moths are most dangerous.
Larvae can be found in dark, protected places. They pre
fer to attach themselves to as large an area of fabric as
posible. Thus, examine creases, folds and seams.
After garments to be stored are thoroughly clean, the
best protection possible is to wrap the clean articles in
heavy kraft paper, sealing all openings with gummed
tape.
Moth crystals sprinkled about are a wise investment,
and layers of the Sunday comic section placed in between
the garments will give added motb protection. The dye in
the Sunday comics discourages moths!
One last step remains—labeling. Write plainly on the
outside of each package or box, its contents, and then
packages won’t have to be shifted before the next season.
Remember to store your woolens carefully, following these
simple procedures, and you will not be a horror-stricken
individual who finds moth holes next year.

tory around the home, however, will show that pesticides
are used in the home and all of us should be aware of
safety precautions in using them.
When you buy a pesticide, be sure to check everything
printed that comes with it. Read the label and any folders
or circulars that may be tucked into the box or tied to
the can or bottle.
The printed material that comes with a pesticide gener
ally includes the directions for using it, esoecially if the
container is too small to run comolete directions' on the
label.
In any case, printed material that accompanies a pes
ticide is carefully reviewed by U. S. Department of Agri
culture specialists, whether it be label, leaflets, or ad
vertising material that is used as part of a store display.
All these items are considered labeling by USDA. They
are checked to make sure the information is truthful and
doesn’t mislead, that directions for use are adequate, and
that hazards involved in using the pesticide are pointed
out prominently.
So, for safety’s sake, read and follow the directions
on pesticide labels or printed material accompanying the
package.
GOOD LIGHTING
We have noted before that you must watch your P’s
and Q’s to provide good lighting.
I discussed the Q’s—quantity and quality. Today, I
thought we might take a look at the P’s—purpose, place
ment and proportion.
As to the purpose of lighting, it can help create a mood.
Excessive light is like too much noise—we tend to avoid
it although we can become accustomed to it. A pleasantly
high intensity can be stimulating, while soft light is
soothing—even monotonous.
If light is too soft, it may be dangerous because we
can’t see shadows which help us judge the position of
objects in a room. Older persons or anyone with poor
vision should be provided with fairly bright light to provide
proper differentiation between objects.
The placement of the iamo is imoortant for both
quantity and quality of light for the seeing task being
done. In general, we can say that the bottom of the lamp
shades should be at eye level for most tasks.
The idea of proportion in lighting is somethimes a
puzzling point. It simply means that the total lamo should
be in proportion to the furnishings of the room. There
should toe no giants or midgets. Also, the base and shade
should be in good proportion to each other.
We could discuss more detailed points of good lighting
but I think these are the major ones.
CALCIUM NEEDS
Using the recommended daily allowance of milk will
supply the body’s need for calcium. Drink milk and use it
in cooking.
ITS A FACT

day—and anticipate tomorrow!
