RED CEDAR CHESTS AGAINST MOTH DAMAGE. 13 
for the young larvae that might be present, or those that might hatch 
from eggs present in the clothing, would be killed before they could 
cause serious damage. 
Although cedar chests may be regarded as protectors against 
clothes moths, attention is called to the fact that a chest of ordinary 
wood, if as tightly constructed, would be just as effective, provided 
the clothing were as thoroughly cleaned, brushed, and sunned, and 
from 1 to 2 pounds of good grade naphthalene were packed within. 
Woolen garments freshly cleaned and thoroughly brushed will be 
well protected if tightly wrapped with naphthalene in several thick- 
nesses of ordinary paper. Many persons protect their clothing by 
carefully cleaning and brushing just before wrapping in paper. In 
wrapping with paper special attention should be given to turning 
back the paper at the ends of the bundle that no opportunity to gain 
access be left for the moths.
