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.

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?

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 WOMEN CAN DYE ANY . GARMENT, DRAPERY Dye or Tint Worn, Faded ThLigs New for 15 Certs. 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. up at him. - Don't wonder whether you can dye or tint successfully, because -.perfect. home dyeing is `guaranteed with "Dia- mond Dyes", ever if you have dyed before.
