Sup. 3058 8 Market Square Lake Forest Tel. 862 ltl oth Exterminator for Furniture Put in by Iredale Co. Using a process endorsed by the government, the Iredale Fireproof Warehouse company is now prepared to exterminate moths from upholstered overstuffed furniture as well as from rugs, draperies, furs, clothing, etc. The local warehouse company recently installed a furniture fumigation vault by the usc of which 'it can guar· antee the total destruction of all moth and other insect life in any articles treated. The vault is eight by ten feet and six feet high, specially designed for the treatment of furniture, but any other objects which are subj.e d to damage by moths can be treated in it. The vault when closed is absolutely air tight. It contains a hot water radiator which is heated by electricity under thermostatic control. After furniture or objects to be fumigated arc placed in the vault, temperature of about 85 degrees is maintained. At this tempera· ture moth and insect life is most ac· tive. After an hour about eleven pounds of carbon tetrachloride is poured into a trough at the top of the vault. In the temperature of the vault this vaporizes and spreads thoroughly through the vault's contents. This is one of three chemicals approved by the United States Government as destructive of moth life, and the one which will not harm the most delicate fabric and is not harmful to human beings. The furniture is left in the vault for twenty-four hours and then thoroughly vacuum cleaned so that it is absolutely clean as well as being free from all moths or other insects. Thi s vault is the same as several which have been installed in the Field mu seum for the destruction of moth~ in the various exhibits there. Similar vaults are also used by the National museum and the Smithsonian institute in Washington. This process is guaranteed to destroy all moth life in aaything treated, but docs not prevent the return of moths if the objects are exposed to them later. Another process which the Iredale warehouse has · in stalled will, however, prc,·cnt moths ever attacking anything trc..1ted. Under this process, furniture, furs. rugs, clothing or anything else suhi.e ct to damage by moths can be treated either at the warehouse or at home. The objects arc sprayed with a patented lirtuid called "Mothimmune" and when once treated are forever imnHme to damage by moths. As a demonstration of the efficiencv of M othimmunc there is at · the Jredale warrhouse a glass covered box in which are three pieces of carpet placed there a year ago. One of the pieces was put ;n untreated. the second after being trratrd with M othimmunc and the third after being treated and then scrubbed with the strongest soaps and cleaning compounc!s obtainable. Into this box have been placed I ive moth worms and moth millers at frertuen t intervals. The untreated piece of carpet is eaten so badly as to he practically ruined, hut neither of the other pieces shows any signs of the moths ever having been near them. - New Cream Top.Milk' Comes from Tuburculartested cows.
