Moths can be kept away from furs or clothes by putting a piece of Ifnen damped- in turpentine in drawers or wardrobes. This should be renewed once or twice during the year. Moths will never attack carpets and curtains which have been well sprinkled with salt. To hang pictures on a plastered wall try dipping the nail into cold water before driving it into the wall. It will bite into the plaster if this is done, and will hold a heavy weight without looseoiog.
