BUY TOADS AND BATS.
Farmers in England Keep Them to
Destroy Insects.
Whole Communities May BE Kept
Free from Flies and Mosquitoes
by the Ugly but Harmless
Creatures.

As q result of experiments with toads
and bats, it has been demonstrated that
house. or even community, can he
rid of various troublesome insects, IN
GLIDING flies and mosquitoes. These eN-
periments were made by Prof Clinton
f. Hodge, of Clark university, Worces-
ter, Mass. Prof. Hodges first expert
ment was with the toad. 81 constructed
small pen in my garden he said, land
in it, in pan of water, installed a male
and female toad. To attract food for
them ! placed within the inclosure bits
of meat and bone. The results were as
satisfactory as they were unexpected.
The toads spent most of the time sitting
within reaching distance of the bait and
killing the flies attracted by it. |
watched one toad snap up Sc house flies
in less than ten minutes.
"One day | gathered a quantity of
rose bugs in a tin box and began to feed
the bugs to toad. At first | did not
count. bat finding his appetite 50 good,
| started 10 count. Whenl had counted
over 80 hues and the toad showed no

picked him mp. Previous to my begin
ming to count he had taken anywhere
from ten to 20 bugs.
81 found the toad equally greedy for
rose beetles. cankcr worms, ants, cater
pillars, moths, June bugs, weeyis.
snails and many other insects. So, too,
in house, a room may be cleared of
cockroaches by leaving toad in it over
night.
"A single toad may destroy over 1000
worms during the months of May. June
and July, and one of these harmless
creatures may well do a gardener scrv-
ice to the amount of Sl9.sS each season,
and yet he can raise 100000 worth of
toads at an expense of not more than 20
cents.
Farmers in England buy them, pay
ing as high as $24 per 100, for use in
their flower beds and gardens. For
household purposes small number of
toads could be given homes in an
aquarium. At night the toads could be
let loose to kill bugs, while in the day
they could kill flies. | have built sort
of cage of wire screen, a foot wide and
two feet long, the top of which is kept
open. 1t is only necessary to put in two
or three toads, provide them with shell
tiers, dish of water in one corner. and
then keep it supplied with bits of raw
meat and any other refuse matter cal
culated to attract flies"
In speaking of the bat Prof. Hodge
said: 1--WE have no animal more inter
esting and probably none more valu-
able. and certainly none more misunder-
stood and abused. than the bat. They
are easily tanned, absolutely harmless
when gently handled, and make pets as
funny as tiny monkeys. As destroyers
of many of our most pestiferous night
fling insects, like mosquitoes, the bat is
almost our sole dependence, and as he
is known to hunt insects afoot, as well
as on the wing, he is also of some value
for larvae that do not fly.

Boston's Free Bath House.

The extensive facilities for summer bath
ing which have been provided by Boston
are worthy of imitation. aFhe patronage which
the single bath house now owned by the city
has already received and the appreciation of
its utility, which representatives of all ele-
ments in the community haveexpressed," lead
local paper to declare, the time fully ripe
for the establishment of local baths in various
sections of the city. G IN
If this che bath house within q few weeks
eff its opening already has "a record of an
average daily attendance of between 500 and
800 bathers, running up to nearly LOCO on
certain days, surely more would be useful
Is the argument. Five or six of these baths
should be. provided to serve the convenience
of all sections of the city.
On account of its combined advantages in
promoting at once healthy physical develop
ment and wholesome recreation the al-the-
year-round swimming pool SHOULD rank as
one of the most important municipal agencies
for the Improvement of the9condition of the
people.
The adoption of progressive and distinctive
municipal policies of the Iature of baths and
Fairgrounds raises the reputation and stand
ing OF the city, and tends 80 bring it's govern
ment closer to the people and to promote
civil spirit which will yield valuable re-
suits in many directions.

fos either men or women from my own per
sonal experience. On general principles. how
ever, I say. as l have said before, that for
a father and mother especially the first duty
is the home, and if the club causes the neg
lect of home by either father or mother, it is
a snare. God instituted the home before the
cub, and even its meetings should not inter-
fere with sacred duties God has given in The
home life.''
1t will be noticed that the latter charge is
made in conditional form,
AS an example of what women's clubs are
really doing, however, we call attentionlste the
work of the Industrial clubs. Mrs. Frederick
Nathan. president of the Consumers league,
in speaking on The Homes of Working Peo-
ple'' before the New. York Sorosis. referred
to the sweatshops. and condemned the own
ers, who only provide the material and
let the workman. whom she described DIS an
'oftcntime victim of tuberculosis to pro
vide the Workshop tools and all the ether
accessories. She spoke of the contagious dis
eases generated by garments ordered in Fifth
avenue. but made in disease-laden tenement
houses, and said that the Consumers league
is about to put a label en- the market if it
receives the moral support of the people, that
will effectually abolish such methods and
places. A lawyer employed by the league,
she explained is now drafting contract
which makers of underclothes wilt be asked
to sign. This will demand that they employ
labor outside of their factories, take
any work that is not done under the over
sight Of the factory inspector.
Seventeen manufacturers out of twenty two
are wiling to sign this, and receive the
''hygienic' label to put on their goods, if
the public promise, them its support and de-
mands that dry goods dealers sell only such
garments.
The merchants themselves would enforce the
contract, Mrs. Nathan said, for the sharpness
of competition between them would not per-
NIT fraud.
