Great movements of people from one

the new Eldorado. A few will succeed, the
balance will fail, while the average would
have done better to have joined the big i'm

Getting Rid of Ants,

In ridding the house of ants, the first
step, If possible, is to locate the nest by
following the workers back to their
point of entrance and there destroying
the colony. This may be done if the
nest is in the wall by injecting bisul-
phide of carbon or a little kerosene,
If the species has its colonies under the
Tagging in the yard, the nests may be
drenched with boiling water or satur-
ated with kerosene and thus easily de-
stroyed; but if it is the kind that
builds system OF underground gall
leries, bisulphide of carbon must then
be poured into each of number of
holes made in the nest with a stick,
and then promptly close the holes with
the foot. In this case the bisulphide
will penetrate the tunnels underground
and kill the ants in enormous quanti-
ties. If it is impossible to locate the
nests, there is no resource but to de-
stroy the ants whenever found in the
house. The best means to do this. ac-
cording to the testimony of Govern
mental experts, is to attract the ants
to small bits of sponge moistened with
sweetened water and placed in the
situations where they are most numer-
Gus. These sponges may be collected
several times daily and scalded. It is
also reported that a syrup made by dis
solving borax and sugar in boiling wa
ter will effect their destruction.

WAY OF WASHING THE HAIR.
Doing 1t Too Frequently n Mistake
Not Easily Remedied.

Doing 1t Too Frequently n Mistake
Not Easily Remedied.
1t is as great a mistake to wash the
hair too frequently as to wash it toe
seldom. In the former case, the con.
stant use of water is apt to wash away
the natural oil of the skin, without
which the hair not only loses its
glossy look of health, but is apt tc
turn prematurely gray and grow thin
and scanty. In the latter case the
mouths of the Oil vessels at the roots OF
the hair become clogged, dandrufi
forms, and the growth of the hair is
impeded, and the hairs themselves be-
come matted and dusty-looking.
To keep the hair in perfect health il
should be washed at regular stated in
tervals. If you are strong and we'll,
and free from cold of any kind, once
In every three weeks or month is the
proper limit of time to allow between
each washing. If you are in delicate
health it should be washed every six
weeks.
On no account should the hair be
washed if you are suffering from a cold
in the head or from influenza, as SER
ious trouble may be the result. And
in winter time it 10 best to have the
hair shampooed at home, instead of 60
ing to the hairdresser's, and it should
also always be done in a room with a
fire. 1t is bad plan to wash the
hair just before going to bed, as the
hair has not time to dry properly, and
is apt to remain damp till morning,
which is very injurious to its growth.
The best times to wash the hair are the
morning, the afternoon, or between 8
and at night.
In the latter case the hair will have
plenty of time to dry before you have
to go to bed. In the former case, if
you have it washed in the daytime be
careful not to go out of doors till it is
quite dry, or you will run very great
risk of taking cold.

only stimulates although many peo-
