WAGE WAR ON THE MOTH.
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 most
subject to moth infestation. A little
care in storing woolen stuffs and furs
now or later when winter clothing is
laid away may prevent much damage
and remove the fear and anxiety of
anticipating math -eaten garments as
next winter approaches. Brushing,
airing, 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 -doom for a day exposed
to the sun and wind. Be sure to brush
under lapels and cliffs, 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 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-
ly does not harm fabric. A cedar
chest provides additional safety since
the cedar odor is 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 30 to
45 minutes kills all stages of the in-
sect. Placing the infestedclothes in
a tight box and sprinkle liberally with
naphthalene will kill many of the ine
sects,
DRIVE AWAY THE BOGEY MAN.
It has been said that fear is our
friend, but in an abnormal state, it
becomes our worst enemy. Especially
is this true with children. When a
child is possessed of abnormal fear,
much of the natural spontanity of
child nature, his conception of life,
and his self-confidence is fettered.
In this problem, that many mothers
have to solve, the old saw, that an
ounce of prevention is worth a pound
of cure obtains. The child who has
the seeds of unwholesome fear planted
in his mind by exaggerated and per-
fidious threats, alarms, and imaginary
inhabitants of bogeyland, can not
grow up with a childish spontanity of
self expression. At all ages, it is best
to be sensible and reason with chil-
dren. The process is slow, but it will
have lasting results.
The movie craze of to -day puts be-
fore the child terrifying situations,
even those untrue to life. On the im-
pressive child mind, these become deep
, seated. Wise is the mother who sees
to it that her children attend only the
movies that give the child constructive
ideas and impressions and who directs
his reading toward wholesome chan-
nels that will deepen his insight into
life.
To help the child in overcoming any
abnormal fear; we must keep his
body fit. A healthy body makes for
mental as well as physical resistance.
Fatigue, malnutrition and physical
defects each have their part in weak-
ening the nervous system. Often a
warns bath and a glass of milk will
prevent the development of acute
stages of abnormal fear.
Normal everyday living is undoubt-
edly an influential agent in expelling
morbid fear. If the child is not de-
ceived by bogey mel:, • goblins and
ghosts and other monsters, and enjoys
the thrill of success in his work and
play, he will develop a confidence in
himself. Nourish a child's, trustful-

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 more,)
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 jelly1
I sometimes use an icing to which'
shredded cocoanut or finely chopped
nut meats are added.—M. M.
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.

Rcpaying Mrs, Mullaney
BY ELIZABETH GUILFOILE.
PART Ih�
Ruth felt an odd hesitancy to re-
introduce the subject of Mrs. Mul-
laney's payment, In the week that
followed she had much to do. Joe
warned her not to overtax her
strength. She knotted a little fist that
was gaining a brown tinge again and
pointed to the tight muscle on cher
forearm,
"Look at that! I'm young and
strong and my museles are hard. I use
my brain and my heart is in my job.
But I wonder why I can't accomplish
as much as Mrs. Mullaney? She is
much older, she looks far frailer and
she certainly hasn't the incentives to
do her best that I have. Yet she is
much surer and swifter in the race
than I am."
"I think," said Joe slowly, as if he
were feeling iris way in his own
thought, "that it is because you are
carrying a handicap."
She wondered why she did not ask
hen to explain,
Late Sunday afternoon, as she tug-
ged at a viciously -rooted burdock in
the back yard, Joe was milking in the
barn. Supper was ready and Ruth
had started out to meet him when she
observed that bed of burdocks. She
attacked it with a kind of fierce en-
ergy.
`There just isn't time to do all the
things that ought to be done and I
haven't the strength to do them! Ob,
dear! I wonder what Joe meant by
'a handicap.' "
"Ruth, it's Sunday!" Joe came
through the picket gate. "Besides
you're exhausting yourself. 'You look
worn out.
She straightened up, flushed and
nervous with exertion and started to
speak. She would ask hini about that
handicap, A shout at the gate caused
both of them to turn.
"Hullo! Mrs. Hayden, come quick!"
the voice was imperative. Dr. Kellar
was bringing his car to a halt beside
the gate.
"Mullaney's oldest girl is in bad
shape. Hurry! I haven't a minute
to lose."
"What is the matter with her?"
"Swallowed laudanum."
Ruth turned white with horror. She
glanced at Joe.
"Your supper—the milk."
"Go, dear," he said quickly and
swung open the door of the car for
her. "I'll come later."
In the mile that lay between them
and the Mullaney house, the doctor
explained more fully. Ruth had seen
Mary Mullaney, a shy girl of sixteen,
poorly dressed.
"Wanted to go out with her beau,"
said the doctor, "like any blessed
young thing would. They've been
keeping it dark from Mullaney. lie's
too much of a slouch to clean himself.
up Sundays. He's usually off in the
woods, hunting and fishing. That suit-
ed Mary very well. He happened along
just at the wrong minute this after-
noon. She was getting into a machine
with a strange young fellow. He ord-
ered her to get out and stay at home.
It's had business to humiliate one's
child, Even if he didn't like the looks
of things he could have gone about it
in e different way."
They drove into the yard. The doe -
tar alighted leaving Ruth to look ant
for herself. Mullaney met them.
`Quick, Doc! For God's sake! We
can't keep her awake much longer."
"Mrs. ` Mullaney .knelt . beside a
couch, sobbing aloud` and beating the
hands of the girl who was slipping
into stupor.
"Oh, honey, don't go to sleep! Mary,
Mary! Mother's darling! Don't lea -e
me! Wake up, Mary! Listen, child,
and I'll tell you something wonderful.
.. Something ...."
A little, inarticulate cry of joy and
relief fell from her when she saw the
doctor. She flung herself into Ruth's
arms.
"To think you'd find ane like this
the first time you came to see me!
Oh, my baby! my baby! Oh, what if
he can't save her!"
Ruth pressed her gently into a
chair.
"Hush, dear," she said tenderly,
"we're going to save her. Mary is
strong and Dr. Kellar knows."
The doctor gave some quick, low-
voiced orders, which Ruth obeyed
swiftly.. They did what they could
but the drug had already got in some
of it deadly work. Then they lifted
the girl to her feet and began the
march against death, Dr. Kellar on
one side and Ruth on the other, they
half dragged, half, carried her back
and forth,back and forth, the len
of the room. Crouched in a chair, her
work -worn hands clutching her shoul-
ders, Mrs. Mullaney watched them and
whispered broken prayers. Through
the window came the sound of a man's
Jacking sobs. Ruth did not know
how Iong they kept up that walk, with
the girl pleading inarticulately to be
left alone. Joe came after a while
and relieved his wife. The doctor
nodded to her. "Better look after the
rest of them. Mary is reviving.
Ruth slipped away from them and

went to lqok for Mullaney. She found
him crouched against the side of the
barn, moaning through his locked
hands—a conscience-stricken man.
"I meant her no harm, Mrs. Hay-
den," he repeated over and over, "I
love niy children.. I'm not much shakes
at makin' a nice aloin'; for thein but
I'd shield them from danger if I had
towalk on fire to do it. I want my
girls to be good girls. Mary's young
and I didn't know that feller. I done
the wrong thing but I'll make it up
her."
Ruth sat beside him an the long
grass and talked steadily. Her voice
gradually released him from his agon-
ized tension. Ruth would never have
another such opportunity. She used
it and he responded. He would dress
up on Sundays and meet Mary's
friends, He would buy new dresses
for the girls. Yes, he would, he would
be a real man, husband and father!
Finally quieted, but spent as if
from a life wound, .he went back to
the house with Ruth. It was past
midnight. The doctor said the worst
was over. -
"I sent Joe home;" the doctor said.
"He has his own haying to do to-
morrow and I think he'll be wanting
to lend Mullaney a hand with this
week's work. You and I will watch,"
At last the heart -shaken family
were all in bed. Tho doctor built a
fire in the little grate. Then they
prepared a lunch for themselves and
ate it beside the fire.
"When you called me I' was very
tired," said Ruth. "Now after all
this I feel strong and fresh. What
an experience!"
"My dear lady," said the old doc-
tor, "you have had your first baptism
of neighborhood service. I would not
have called on you to -night if there
he been any other woman near
enough. I didn't know you had the
courage and the strength—and the
love—to do it,"
"I am not sure that I had. It
seemed to be given to me at the mo-
ment. I owe Mrs. Mpllaney a great
deal. She found time and strength to
come to me when I was ill. Not until
to -night did I realize the kind of ser-
vice she rendered me.' I had calculat-
ed her service in terms of money. I
wanted to pay her with a cheque."
"You knew no better," said the doc-
tor gently, "you had not learned the
uselessness of trying to remeasure the
value of kindness in coin,"
He sat silent for a little watching
the flickering fire light. Then he
spoke again.
"The great minds that wrestle with
finazicial problems have never tackled
the subject of neighborhood credit. In
my thirty-five years of practice in this
community I have seen hoarded tree
-
:sure that all the gold in the govern-
ment vaults could not replace. The
'neighbors
and tenderness and mercy of
neighbors is the greatest treasury in
ithe world. You can never in anywise
repay your neighbor for what he has
!done for you. Rates of exchange can -
i not be figured in the country. You
{ can reward your neighbor only in
terms of his need: You'll be growing
stronger than you have ever been,
Mrs. Hayden," he went on. "These
are.your people,here in this commun-
ity where you ave chosen your hus-
band and your home. You owe Mrs.
Mullaney something money cannot
pay. In turn, you have made l:er your
debtor to -night. Sympathy and love
and understanding are the safest cur-
rency in =the world."
The old reran was very tired. His
watching spirit was stronger than his
mortal body. His voice began to trail
huskily. He nodded once or twice,
turned his head on the - worn uphol-
stery of the chair and went to sleep.
Ruth had much to ponder and she
kept the watch until dawn when she
tapped softly on Mrs. Mullaney's door
and gently shook the doctor. Then she
set off to walk through the dew -cover-
ed field to her own house. Her heart
was leaping with the joy of a great
discovery.
She saw Joe coming toward her
across the field with a bridle over his
arm,
"I was going to hitch up and bring
you hone," he said. "I knew you
would be very tired."
There was a light in her eyes like
that of the morning. sky as she looked.
