Articles cf Uniform be moth-eaten should be unfold-ed at, intervals and well beaten and brushed in the
liable to
open air. Russia leather parings, powdered camphor, napthaline, carbolised paper, or turpentine sprinkled on brown
paper, or on the garments, are good for the prevention of moth, and one or another of these preventives should be
placed amongst articles of uniform which are to be packed away for any time.
Before being packed away, gold lace, bi'aid, cord, or buttons on garments should be covered with tissue paper, and
then placed in tin-liaed air-tight cases. Care must be taken to use paper that is thoroughly dry. For the prevention
of moth, the garments should be well aired and brushed before being packed.
Gold trimmings and gold lace that have become slightly tarnished can be cleaned with a mixture of cream of
tartar and dry bread rubbed up very fine, applied in a dry state, and brushed lightly with a cleaned soft brush.
In many cases stains may be removed by the part affected being rubbed with dry pipeclay and then well brushed
with a cleaned brush. Should this fail to remove them the following mixture may be tried :
J
ounce of salts of sorrel to | a pint of boiling water.
ounce of cream tartar to J a pint of cold water.
