Mice dislike the fragrance of the flakes, while moths die from the fumes. As the flakes evaporate, they give off a vapor which, if sufficiently concentrated kills moths say ento mologists of the U. S. Department of Agriculture. So wool and fur Weeping Water Tuesday evening Mrs. Swindle left for her home in Hardin, Mont. Mrs. Smith returned home Wednesday morning. v. William Faux, son of Mrs. Earl Power, arrived here the last part of the week for a visit with his mother an.l many friends, after hav ing seen service on the Atlantic, and spending some time at Newfoundland and at Cardiff, England.

Sun- are safe from moths if stored in i day they were called to Shubert to tightly sealed trunks, chests, or clos ets with plenty of flakes to fumi gate the interior. A few flakes scat tered in open closets or bureau draw ers, even im they give off plenty of odor, will not disturb the moths. Mice, on the other hand, have a keen sense of smell and particularly object to the mothball smell, accord ing to government biologists. At ; this time of year when mice from outdoors come into cellars and at tics, flakes scattered in and arund stored mattres&es, upholstered furni ture, clothes, books, and bags of seed are good and cheap insurance against mice.

Cticken for the Shelf An old 1 en makes better canned chicken than a young, tender bird, say home economists to homemakers putting up chicken this fall. The ideal chicken to can is a plump two-year-old hen, not profitable to keep through the winter for laying. Old er birds have more flavor and bet ter texture after canning than young fryers and broilers. A simple and speedy as well as safe method is suggested for wartime canning. For safety, can chicken under pressure and pack in jars no larger than quart size. Also for safety, remove most of the fat from the meat. Too much fat in the jar may cook out on the rubber ring during processing, causing the ring to slip ai.d spoil the seal. In filling the jars take care that no grease or bits of n eat are left around the top edge. To prevent darkening of the meat, put up chicken in glass rather than tin and use no copper or iron utensils in preparation. For canning, dress the birds and cut into the usual pieces as for cook ing. Separate pieces into three piles; meaty parts like breasts, thighs and legs to pack in jars; bony parts like wings, backs and necks for broth to fill the jars; and giblets for can ning separately in pint jars. Fut the bony pieces in a kettle, cover with lightly salted water, and Flelaavka By Journal Field Repr Visit Relatives Mrs. Grant Howard, wife of Capt.

Trim fat from the meaty pieces, leaving only enough for flavor, and precook the meat by covering with boiling water, then simmering about 10 minutes until most of the raw color of the flesh disappears. Chick en may be canned with or without bones, but boned chicken takes long er to process. Bone helps the meat heat through quickly and gives add ed flavor.
