It is necessary to keep con- stant watch for them and use every known implement of warfare. The very first precaution comes in the spring, when the millers fly about seeking dark places in -which to lay their hundreds of eggs. It is not these moths which eat clothing, but the. worms or larvae which develop from the eggs laid by them: But every moth or miller killed means about one hun- dred eggs less to hatch into destruc- tive fabric -eating -worms. The eggs are easily destroyed if found and - crushed, but too many escape attention. Simply airing and sunning garments will not insure the death of the moths. Brush well in all the dark places—along -seams; inside pockets, under the collar, along the hem, around the armholes ---with a stiff -bristled brush. Then clean and air the box or closet where the clothes are kept, filling cracks and then varnishing and, if moths are known to be present, fumi- gating. Oil of cedar soaked into the wood—as much as will be absorbed-- helps bsorbed—helps to make a closet or clothes box uninviting to the moth. Keep all closets and boxes and bureau drawers closed. Clothing that is used constantly will be quite safe if brushed well once a week. When putting things away until winter give them an extra hard brushing, and cleaning. If garments are dry-cleaned before packing away there will"'be no Iive eggsleftto hatch out. Take care to wrap the clothes in heavy paper which is untorn, sealing the closing .with strips of - gummed paper or with paste that will not dry out:., The various bags on the:.:murket, i :such stea are advertised for YY�n���g , dad if, the 3:we ent•:"" ;°`-.11ioaoughry -cleaned before putting it in. Be care- ful about closing the top tightly. For the average home there is no- thing better than naphthalene in the form of flakes; to scatter through the folds of. cleaned clothes and in the closets and trunks and chests: We know it as moth bails. The containers which hold the clothing should be. kept tightly closed so that the fumes will not escape, as this is what kills the worms. The drug stores offer paradichloro- benzine, a new remedy which is a great aid in moth control: Camphor is less effective, but if a good quality is used at the rate of one pound to each five cubic feet it will be a good protection in tight containers. Pyre- thrum powder, if fresh and dusted through the folds of garments in a tight trunk or chest, will kill the eggs. and worms, but it soon loses its pro- tective qualities on exposure to air. For those who can afford it cold storage saves a lot of worry. It has been found' that the larvae would die if exposed suddenly from hot to cold, and this principle suggested the use of cold places for the safe keeping of furs, and the like. But the one thing to remember is: Constant watchfulness for the parent miller, hunting out and crushing of eggs, filling of cracks with naphtha- lene flakes and varnishing, careful brushing and sunning of garments be - a ter every meal Cleanses month and teeth and aids digestion, Relieves that over- eaten feeling and acid mouth.

No papers whatever were found in in `I must see you," he said sharply, "It's about your father." "Oh, him? It don't matter about him." Mr. Crust pushed open the door thrusting back the feather -weight of a woman without the slightest exer- tion. Then he closed the door behind him and stood in the dingy little pas- sage. - "A nice thing, ain't it," she scream- ed, "breaking into a poor woman's house. If there'd been a man here, you'd have gone out pretty sharp." "We have found your father's body," said Mr. Crust quietly. "There is no doubt whatever that he was murdered by Landon. hie had. been stabbed in the back by a knife taken from the inn at Dedbury. The woman retreated into a squalid kitchen at the back of the house and Crust followed her. When she return- ed he saw that she was laughing and that the tears were running down her grimy cheeks. "Oh, .you are clever ones, you are," she said. "You want to find Charles Landon, don't you? Well, I don't know where he is, and if I did I wouldn't tell you." "You'd shield the brute who mur- dered your father?" "Oh, he didn't kill poor father," she replied.: "See this dress of mine. That's mourning, that is, bought from an old clo' shop—mourning for father. Buried out in America, he is. Queer you should have found him at Ded- bury." "Who told you your father died in America?„ "A friend wrote and told me. No, it wasn't Charles Landon. ° I know no- thing about hint, and I don't want to neither. Shame on you—that's what been removed that might have proved his identity.

Arrange crackers on a flat pan and spread them with filling, top with the meringue and bake slowly ten minutes —just to brown the tops and make them light. Crisp salty crackers spread„ with the meringue in which cherries have been folded with nuts are good. Graham crackers spread with black- berry jam and meringue have a un- ique taste. Try round thin crackers with cream cheese, - currant jelly and the egg whites. Or vanilla wafers spread with a chocolate paste made by mixing cocoa and powdered sugar together and moistening slightly with cream.. These may have nuts scattered over ~the top and simply brushed with un- beaten -egg white to glaze thein. Chopped raisins, citron and orange , peel combine nicely with ginger cook- ies under Meringue.

A little bit of left -over fruit or preserve can often be used to make these trifles; in feet, there is almost always something in the house with which to snake them. up. Fifteen min- utes at the most, if two people work together, . will produce several dozen trifles of will kinds, and they never fail to please as refreshment. A TISK FOli SANDWICH CRUSTS. No wise and thrifty housekeeper: throws away the crusts trimmed frons' sandwiches. These crusts are always ', useful in dressings for "fowls, and in ` any baked dish needing bread crumbs. But here is yet another way- of utile izing the orustsi Put them into the' food chopper as soon as trimmed and grind them, or eIse into the chop- ping bowl and chop them fine. Then mix then with whatever filling is used in the sandwiches or with the salad dressing, and spread this mixture be- tween other slices of bread, thinning with the dressing until the spreading is easy, You then have every part of your bread used in the sandwiches themselves.

It lies in Pasco de :Julio, a street frequented by sailors and dock- yard yard w The whole establishment consists of a great pot, about one yard in diamet er, and an equally large fork. Only one "dish,' called "puchero," is offered to customers. It 3s simply prepared. The proprietor fills the pot. with water, mets a few chunks of meat and bones drop to the bottom, then adds • some coloring "material, partly to give a touch of mystery to the whole; partly to make the meat in the bottom invis- ible. A fire is now lit under the pot. When the mixture boils a card is displayed, stating . that "lunch, dinner, or supper is now ready." • Each customer pays five cents and is handed the huge fork, which he dips into the boiling water. If he is lucky he harpoons a piece of meat, which he is •entitled to fish out and devour. If not, five cents have "gone bang." But he can buy another chance if he has another five cents to pay for it. potato rice an press out the water. This saves burning the hands and is very quickly . done where haste is needed in the sick -room. - SUN HATS.
