LESSON 118. 
Problem.—Putting away winter clothing. The best means of pre- 
venting moths. | 
Points to be brought out.—The eggs from which moths develop may 
be present. ‘These must be killed or removed before the clothes are 
put away, for they may find in the packed clothes ideal conditions 
for their development. Since it is difficult to be sure that all moth 
eggs are removed, the clothing is usually packed under such condi- 
tions as to retard their development.
