fly out OF the window as beetles 1t
Is this worm-like grub which eats
the carpet. and not the beetle. The
most cfYectual remedy which Pro.
Lintner has found for these afuls is
benzine. This should be poured
about the car cts freely wherever the
buffalo bugs have appeared during the
the time the creature Is In q grub state.
II YOU wait q month later, he will
have flown out OF the window, pre-
pared to bequeath his comfortable
quarters in your house to his descend
ants. There Is nothing but benzine
or naphtha which is the slightest use
In destroying this pest Steaming is
OF doubtful value. He revels in to-
bacco. Camphor is food for him. He
enjoys a salt bath. And he will eat
through any obstacle placed in his
way, whether cotton or your books
The grub is a little hairy creature, SO
small that it easily hides in the fuzz
Of the carpet.
Moderate Exercise for Deiicste Girls.
There are delicate girls and DELEGATE
girls. Those l wish to talk about
have no organic disease, but are $ m

in Evangel. They may have come
into the world with a weak cOnstitu-
tion, and although they are.not sick are
always giving out. or they may by
overwork and disregard for the laws
of health have so weakened their con-
stitution that their strength is gone,
and all efforts to regain II have SO far
been In vain. In either case there
would probably be functional dis

The Care Of the Piano.
The temperature Of the room in
which the piano Is kept is one Of the
most important things to be consid-
cred, writes James Thomson in the
Ladies' Home Journal As moisture
Is absolutely necessary, see to 1t that
the air In the room is not allowed to
become too dry. The growing plant
will prove a good test; II 1t thrives
yOa may be sure that the atmosphere
Is such q n as your piano needs,
and il, On the other hand, the pant
does not thrive 1t would be we'll to
find out the reason. About seventy
degrees Is the proper temperature for
the room In. which the piano is kept.
Do not allow it 10 stand where the
suns rays can shine directly upon it,
and be careful to keep it closed and
well covered while the sweeping and
busting Of the room In which it
stands are In progress. To prevent
the case Of your piano from becoming
smoky in appearance wipe = small
portion at u time with q fine sponge
wet In tepid water and q little Castillo
soap. Dry with q moistened channels
cloth which has been wrung until it
Is almost. When this has been done
apply some reliable piano polish with
q soft flannel cloth
