ARANSAS PASS PROGRESS
INSURE CLOTHES
AGAINST MOTHS
Use Preventive Measures When
Winter Garments Are Put
Away in Spring.
INSECT NO DISCRIMINATOR
Woolen Stuffs and Fur Are Favorite
Materials of Little Pest—Closet
or Wardrobe Should Be Kept
Scrupulously Clean.
<Prepared by the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture.)
This is the time of the year when
the little moth gets busy. It is much
. easier to bar him from your wardrobe
than it is to put him out afterward
and repair the damage. Early in the
spring is the time to use the “ounce of
prevention.”- The moth is no discrim-
inator of persons or things; the school-
girl’s half-worn woolen gloves or your
new bolivia coat with the squirrel col-
lar are all one to him when he starts
on his perforating pilgrimage.
Woolen stuffs and fur are his fa-
vorite materials. Eternal vigilance
seems the only successful method of
protecting woolen garments from the
ipests. Garments which are used from
llirae to time all summer cannot be
wrapped, but must hang in the closet
and wardrobe ready for unexpected
ichanges in the weather, but they will
keep in good condition, the United
States department of agriculture sug-
• tgests, if the following precautions are
carried out:
Keep the closet or wardrobe clean.
Ilf possible, hang garments in a closet
!that has a window. Brush clothes thor-
oughly at regular intervals. Turn
pockets wrong side out, cuffs down and
' Ibrush. Brush under lapels, plaits, and
the top of hems. Every one knows
ihow much dust collects in all of these
crevices of clothing. If this dust is
not allowed to remain the moths will
not have as good a lodging place.
Precaution in Storing.
The larger part of one’s winter ward-
robe is usually carefully “put away”
in the spring to remain stored until
cold weather appears again. Some
people are fortunate enough to be able
to send their clothing to a storage
company, which makes a business of
seeing that moths do not damage gar-
ments left in its care. The rank and
file, however, still have to follow
grandmother’s methods and pack their
clothes in trunks or cedar chests or
wrap them up and store them on the
closet shelf.
In the fall, when they are unpacked,
there is always the fear that in spite
of your .care the moths may have
found a way in during the summer.
Much of this anxiety would be un-
necessary if the garment were made
absolutely clean when stored away, and
if it were packed in as nearly an air-
tight way as possible.
Thorough brushing should remove
all moths and eggs, but hanging for a
day in the sun and wind also helps.
When the garment is clean, the next
step is to wrap it up so carefully that
the moths cannot reach it. This can
be done in several ways: Sew it up in
strong, brown wrapping paper; use
pasteboard boxes and seal with strips
of gum paper, or place the garment m
paper bags which are sold for storage
purposes. A most effective method is
to pack the clothing in a trunk,
sprinkle in freely napthaline flakes;
when filled place a soup plate on top
of the clothing and place three table-
spoonfuls of carbon disulphid in the
plate. Close tightly and do not open
again until fall. Care must be taken
in using disulphid to keep all flames
away from its fumes as these are as
explosive as gasoline.
Effective Precaution.
Naphthalene flakes or moth balls,
alone, using two pounds in an ordinary
trunk, are most effective for protect-
ing clothes from moth infestation and
for killing all stages of the insect.
Camphor is less effective, and while
red cedar chests readily kill all adult
moths, they do not prevent the'hatch-
ing of moth eggs. Tests show that
the following substances often used for
the purpose possess no value as
moth “repellents;” Tobacco extracts
and powders, lavender flowers, cay-
enne pepper, allspice, cloves, angelica
root, black pepper, borax, colocynth
pulp, eucalyptus leaves, formaldehyde,
hellebore, lead carbonate, lead oxide,
lime, quassia chips, sodium bicarbon-
ate and sodium carbonate.
Brushing, dusting with naphthalene
flakes or pyrethrum powder and care-
ful wrapping are the best insurance
against moths. Placing in a cedar
chest provides additional safety.
The Girls of This Club Know Garments Should Be Brushed and Sunned
Before They Are Stored.
Cheaper and Fresher in Country
Than in Cities.
Dairy Division of United States De-
partment of Agriculture Endeavor-
ing to Get Children to Drink
More Milk.
Milk is plentiful on practically every
farm in the middle West, yet compara-
tively little is drunk by farmers’ chil-
dren. In fact less milk is drunk by
farm boys and girls, taking the whole
■country over, than by city children,
•statistics show. This, in spite of the
fact that milk is cheaper and fresher
In the country than in the city. It is
isaid that this accounts for the fact
[that the proportion of undernourished
Ichildren in the country is larger than
in the city.
To get more children, both in the
city and in th& country, to drink more
milk is the endeavor this year of the
dairy division of the United States de-
' partment of agriculture, co-operating
with the state agricultural colleges.
During the last year six milk cam-
paigns have been carried on in Con-
necticut, four in New Jersey, six in
Massachusetts and one in each of a
dozen other states. The increase in
milk consumption following a cam-
paign has been from 1 to 33 per cent.
Iowa has been making a special ef-
fort recently to improve the health of
its school children in the state by In-
ducing them to drink more milk. The
work started last October with a “milk
week.” During the' six days of lec-
tures and demonstrations 31.000 people
were reached directly and 300,000 Indi-
rectly. Libraries, schools and clubs co-
operated in the work, and during the

RECOMMENDED TO
THE SEAMSTRESS
^T'PIE fairly efficient seamstress who
A has what the French call “a sense
of clothes,” can take a small allowance
in money and dress much better on it
than richer women who lack good
taste. Also she gets more pleasure
out of her achievements and there are
a good many women in this favored
land who have the knack of doing
much with little. Thanks to the wide
publicity given by newspapers to all
matters of dress in centers of fash-
ion no Ameriban need ever be behind
the times in styles.
Two afternoon gowns shown in the
picture here, may be recommended to
the seamstress who undertakes to
make her own dresses. They offer a
choice between long, straight lines for
those who. admire the slim silhouette
and curved ones for those who are
too slender, or those who find un-
broken lines unbecoming to them.
Tricolette with an open or drop-
stitch stripe, makes the handsome
straight line dress. The design is sim-
ple but original, achieving a sleeveless
jacket effect in the body which slips
over an underbodice carrying the
sleeves. Wide satin ribbon, in a soft
quality, makes a short crushed band
across the front, simulating a girdle,
and square buttons are set at each
side where It terminates. The el-
bow sleeves are finished with turn
back cuffs that employ a band of rib-
bon and buttons in the same way.
There is a very simple neck with sail-
or collar at the back.
A plain satin underskirt and bodice
supply the foundation for the attrac-
tive frock of georgette, which might
be made of voile. It features the rjew
neck mode—high at back and open in
front, and very full ruching of plaited
silk with pinked edges, at the bottom
of a full, short tunic. The girdle- is a
folded length of bias satin.
Little Maids in Silk Attire
school children only 114 drank any
milk at all before the campaign,* and
but 5 brought it to school for lunch.
Since then an increase in consumption
of milk amounting to 15 to 25 per cent
has been made in the various counties
in the state, and thousands of rural
school children are now carrying milk
to school for lunch.
MANY FLAVORING MATERIALS
Vegetables of Distinctive Flavor, Jel-
lies and Spices Useful for Vary-
ing Merit Dishes.
Vegetables of distinctive flavor,
such as onions, carrots, or celery;
savory herbs, such sis parsley, sage,
bay leaf, or thyme; and materials
such as vinegar, pickles, or currant
jelly; spices, such as pepper, cloves,
or “curry” mixtures, and sharp or
highly flavored materials are useful
for varying meat dishes.—United
States department of agriculture.
Grapefruit is excellent used instead
of lemon ■ in tea.

T T IS, or it ought to be, a great occa-
J. sion for the very little girl when
she arrives at the splendor of her first
silk dress. With it she has responsi-
bilities thrust upon her; she must be
taught to he careful to keep it clean
arid thus comes the beginning of her
training in neatness and the unfailing
charm of daintiness. Fashion decrees
silk coats and frocks for little maids
by the time their third birthday dawns
and lias selected sprightly taffeta as
the prettiest and most practical of
weaves for them, although neither
crepe de chine nor georgette are denied
them. But these softer silks are used
in light colors for dress-up times while
taffeta is sturdier and extends its use-
fulness to coats and dresses that will
stand more wear.
Taffeta in dark blue makes the
charming little frock shown in the pic-
ture on a little girl of four. It has a
quaint flavor of old times (which it is
easy to achieve in taffeta) with its
short baby waist, round neck and
wide, ruffled collar. The bottom of
the waist Is finished with a frill and
band of the silk, the band having
slashes in it for a narrow ribbon gir-
dle to slip through. Short ruffled
sleeves are caught up at the elbow’
and tied with ribbon. White sox and
black slippers are in keeping with
this little affair of other days.
Either taffeta or cotton will be suc-
cessful in the pretty embroidered -frock
shown. It is scalloped at the bottom
and set on to a narrow yoke also cut
in wide scallops. A very simple
stitchery like feather or cat stitching
rqns parallel with the scallops and
little rose buds are embroidered above
it. The same decoration appears on
turned back cuffs that finish elbow
sleeves and there is a sash of the
dress material slipped through slashes
cut in the body of the frock.
THAT SPLASH OF COLOR.
Organdie and novelty cotton frocks
are good looking. Imported embroid-
ered voiles dotted in vari-color are
given the splash of interest by a vivkl
sash of organdie with butterfly loops
and trailing sash ends. Another treat-
ment which is very effectively used
in these voiles and In the organdie
frocks is two-inch insertions of shirred
tulle or of tucked organdie in a con-
trasting shade, which gives a much
more hand-worked effect than the-in-
sertion of narrow' laces. Yellow or-
gandie is used in this w'ay with gray
organdie and white tulle in the pale
colored frocks.
Novelty Ribbons.
New novelty ribbons are brilliant al-
lies of the woman whose expenditures
must be restricted, for they may be
fashioned into evening bodices of
bright color and rich effect, as well
as into girdles and panels.

RED-FACED MOON.
“What makes your face, so red, Mr,
Moon?” asked the Queen of Fairies.
“Is my 'face very red?” asked Mr.
Moon.
“It is a bright flaming red, like scar-
let,” said the Queen of the Fairies. “It
is really very beautiful. But usually
face is white and you look so
quiet and so calm. Tonight you look
very 'much excited. What is it, Mr.
Moon? Isn’t it unusual for ybur face
be so red?”
“Yes, it is a bit unusual,” said Mr.
Moon, “and I will explain it to you
you would like to hear about it.”
“I wTould, indeed,” said the Queen
of the Fairies. '
“Then,” said Mr. Moon, “I will tell
you at once. Do you know which of
Father Week’s children is working to-
day, or rather has been working to-
day, for the day is gone and the night
is now7 coming on?”
“Yes,” % said the Queen of the
Fairies, “Sunday has been the child
around today.”
“Yes,” said Mr. Moon, “that is so.”
“Well, you see,” Mr. Moon contin-
ued, “some time ago I was going to
bed in the morning and some one said:
‘Oh, there is the sun.’ Now I was so
embarrassed and so flustered that I
didn’t know what to do. For I couldn’t
very w7ell explain that I wasn’t the
sun and yet I didn’t want to get the
credit which was due the sun and I
didn’t want to disappoint folks who
thought I was the sun for the sun
hadn’t yet come up. The sun was get-
ting up but wasn’t hurrying, for there
was no real need of hurrying.
“Well, somehow or other and for
some reason or other which I didn’t
quite understand, I got most fearfully
embarrassed. I just did. You know
how sometimes you will. It was a
compliment, I know, to be taken for
Mx*. Sun, but at the same time it did
embarrass me.
“I was so flustered because I
couldn’t explain and so for that rea-
son I got very red in the face. Then
1 heard some folks say: .‘Why, it isn’t
“i Got Most Fearfully Embarrassed."
the sun at all; it is the moon, and see
what a gorgeous, glorious red face he
has.’i
“Well, then I was so flustered by the
sudden praise that,, I got redder and
redder. That was at the beginning of
the season and now folks love once
in a while to see a red moon. . Usually
I'm only red in the early morning but
for a reason I wanted to give folks a
treat in the evening.
“You see, so many people have been
having their holidays and now their
holidays' are over, so I wanted to look
my best for them, as they were going
tack to their work.
“Then there are a great many peo-
ple who only have the end of the week
fhr rest and I thought I’d make it very
lovely for them. You quite understand
how I’d want to do that, don’t you?”
“I do,” said the Queen of the Fairies.
“It’s a lovely idea.”
“And it seems funny to think that
from the time I was embarrassed and
flustered I have been able to do such
a thing as to please people by having a
red face.
“Now it is no longer embarrassment
or because I am flustered. No, the
time when I felt like that was a long,
long time ago. Now everything is
fine, perfectly fine, and I’m as happy
rs happy can be that I can do some-
thing like this to make folks pleased
at the things they see.
“And tonight the clouds ,are all
helping me look their best. The sun
went to bed most gloriously and left
behind all the fairies which fly about
between sunset and moonlight. There
are the blue and silver-cloud fairies
and there are the red-glow fairies who
wear such glowing red frocks and
iiame-colored wings.
“The grass is blowing and waving
and singing. All of the insects and
little creatures are chirping and buz-
zing and singing, too. All of the colors
are very clear and very beautiful.
Even the. thirty-nine cows in yonder
field are looking their best and wading
In the brook to make themselves feel
fresher.
“The yellow lilies along the road
and in the gardens I’m looking upon
are such an addition, too, to the
beauty.
“But T am up here so all can see me
and enjoy my red face.”

Prayed for Cure
Finds it After 10 Years
Food Would Sour and Boil
—Teeth Like Chalk
Mr. Herbert M. Gessner writes from hia
home in Berlin, N. H.:
I had stomach trouble over ten years;
kept getting worse. I tried everything for
relief but it came back worse than ever.
Last fall I got awfully bad; could only eat
light loaf bread and tea. In January I got
bo bad that what I would eat would sour
and boil; my teeth would be like chalk.
I suffered terribly. I prayed every day for
something to cure me. One day I read
about EATONIC and told my wife to get
me a box at the drug store as I was going
to work at 4 p. m. I took one-third of it
and began to feel relief; when it was
three-fourths gone, I felt fine and when it
was used up I had no pains. Wife got ma
another box but I have felt the pain but
twice. I used five tablets out of the new;
box and I have no more stomach trouble.
Now I write to tell you how thankful I
am that I heard of EATONIC. I feel like
a new man; I eat what I like, drink plenty
of water, and it never hurts me at all.
Advice.
Movie Actress—I fear I shall have
to take a vacation. My arms are al-
ways so tired.
Director—They wouldn’t be if you

If You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best
Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain—the article did not- fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says “Take for
example Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, a'
preparation I have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
sults, as many of my customers testify.
No - other kidney remedy has so large a
sale.”
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of Dr.
Kilmer’s Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulfills al-
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive a sample bottle of
Swamp-Root by Parcels Post. Address
Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y.,
and enclose ten cents; also mention this
paper. Large and medium size bottles
for sale at all drug stores.—Adv.
Pressing Question.
“Is your candidate a good man?”
“Oh, yes, he is a good man, all right,
but I am not sure he is one of the
elect.”
CUSTOMS FIFTY YEARS AGO.
Who among us would say to-day, “I
never use a Dentifrice; I never have' to?”
YTet Fifty years ago, odd as it may
seem, not one person in 1,000 used a
Dentifrice—or even a tooth brush.
So to-day, after more than 30 years of
persistent publicity of Allen’s Foot=Ease,
the Antiseptic Powder for the Feet, not
many well-tumed-out people care to con-
fess, “You know I never have to use a
Powder for the'Feet!"
More than One Million five hundred
thousand pounds of Powder for the Feet
were used by our Army and Navy during
the war.
The reason is this: Confining the feet
in Leather or Canvas Shoes is bound to
create friction more or less. Allen’s Foot=
Ease removes the friction from the shoes.
It is this friction which causes callouses,
corns and bunions. You know what fric-
tion does to your motor-car axle. Why
not remove it from your footwear by
Shaking into your Shoes to-day, Allen’s
Foot=Ease, the cleanly, wholesome, heal-
ing, Antiseptic powder? Get the habit,
as millions now have it, who inhabit our,
as yet, imperfect world.—Adv.
Waste.

you know how scarce buildings are?”
