Homemaking Tips w Anna K. Williams Home Demonstration Agent Storage U’arm sunny days add the job of storing away winter clothing of the family and extra bedding, to the already crowded spring days of the homemaker. Protecting the stored materials against the possible invaders, — the moths, — is no longer a risk, for a number of satisfactory mothproofing materials are available today. Purdue University entomologists advise that boxes or containers which may be sealed tight with gummed tape will serve as a mothproof storage. Any garments, furs or blankets placed in them must first be freed of insects by dry gleaning, pressing with a hot iron, washing in soapsuds pr by brushing and sunning. Heating to | a temperature of 134 degrees will also kill all forms of carpet beetle and moth life. As the material is being packed, three or four ounces of flake napthalene or paradichlorobenzene (PDB) should be sprinkled into each box to kill any infestation which may have taken place after] the materials were cleaned. It is best to place the flakes between sheets of white paper distributed throughout the box. The containers should be sealed with gummed tape ; or otherwise made tight. The commercial market offers many mothproofing for home use. While all of these chemicals have considerable value and in addition many articles of house furnishings such as rugs and furniture have been mothproofed in the manufacture or protected against carpet beetle damage, the entomologists caution it is unwise to place complete confidence in their lasting qualities. Mothproofing solutions and procedures vary widely ’ and their effectiveness is often altered by subsequent treatments such as dry cleaning, washing or exposure to light. Consequently, it is well occasionally to check fabrics for damage even though they have been moth-proofed. Cheese Rules To make the most of the plentiful cheese on markets this spring, three rules are suggested to the cook. First, go easy on heat. Cheese needs only enough heat to mell and blend wi h other ingredients High heat or too long cookinf makes it tough, stringy and leath ery. Also, too much heat maj cause curling in mixtures of cheese ' egg and milk. Second, cheese to other in gredients in very small bits ra’he than in one large piece. When brok en up. cheese spreads more evenl] : and quickly among other ingred [ ients, does not form a solid lumj ; of curd when the fat melts, ant [ allows the mixture to cook in t ; shorter time. Grating is the easies way to break up hard or dr; cheese. Soft cheese may be shavet thin, flaked with a fork, presset through a sieve, or run through t meat grinder. Third, blend cheese in a smootl 1 sauce before adding to other in ■ It | 25c | Phone 229 1 128 N. 3rd § I wn
