A War of determination.

With warm weather comes the myri-
ads of troublesome insects which make
life miserable for the young house
keeper. The older housekeepers have
learned by dearly bought experience
how to manage these pests and so it
is not for them that this article is
written, but for those who are young
enough to take advice and profit by it.
First come the flies and although
we kill them by the dozens and hum
dreds still they come. 1t seems as
though the whole outside world had
conspired against us in furnishing
three flies for every one killed and so
it will be wise to attend only to keep
ing them out of the house.
Of course you have screens, if not
of wire then of the mosquito bar
which answers nearly as well, the
greatest objection being that it keeps
out too much air. If the kitchen Stops
are left near the door, or if SOiled dish
eS are let stand Tor hours De1Ore wash
ing, there will be sure to be an extra
force of flies called in. Absolute clean
liness will go a great ways toward
keeping flies away from the premises.
With the utmost care some will get in
and it is best to have either the poison
fiy-paper or the ''tangle FOOT for them.
If the shades and blinds are closed
early in the morning, it will be an
easy thing to drive them out of an east
window or door. If one lives in the
South, palmetto leaves are the best
brush to drive with, but the Northern
hOusekeeper can use newspaper cut in
strips one inch wide and tied to the
end of a small stick.

Kitchen Helps.

If you use an d-fashiOned churn,
you have doubtless been troubled with
the cream splashing out ON the lid
while churning. Melt both ends off
of tin fruit can, one quart size, and
slip it on THE dasher handle down to
the lid. This will daltch all the splash
es and save the work of cleaning The
churn and floor after the dhurning is
done.
One of the best ARTICLES for the
Kitchen lis "a WRITTEN program or bill of
fare, showing what you intend to
cook for each meal during the week.
This will save much thinking ait meal
times, and will insure "a variety. 1t

HELPFUL CORNER.
In the Kitchen and Pantry.


This is where you will usually find
the woman of moderate means, so a
few hints will be given about these
rooms in the hopes that some may be
benefited therefrom.
If the pantry is large one, place the
work table and tits belongings in there,
ALSO the flour barrel or box and row
of wide shelves or "a safe for cooked
provisions. When canning Iruit, bak-
inc or doing any work which necessi-
tates a hot fire it will be found a relief
to do the mixing and canning in The
pantry away from the fire.
Place the coal oil can ON a Shelf by
itself, as the Odor from coal Oil is very
penetrating. Have faucet at the bot
tom of the can so the lamps may be
held under this and filled, thus doing
away with lifting the heavy cams.
If the pantry is small store things in
1t with a view to convenience; drive
nails and have plenty of shelves. Cook
ing spoons, forks and in fact all the
little indictments used at every meal
should be kept near the stove. Three
shelves placed in the corner behind the
stove and d1aped with some dark ma
terihl are very handy to conceal the
packages of soda, starch, coffee, ETC.,
and all the tinware THAT otherwise
gives the room a cluttered appearance.
Have a pan of warm suds on the
work table while getting a meal and
keep washing and putting away things
as you are Through with them, espec>
tally on baking day, when the table
gets so crowded there is no longer
room for a spoon.
When waiting dinner for any MEM
ber do not fret, but go to washing
dishes. Wash and hang away all pots
and kettles clean off the stove and
sweep the Kitchen then after dinner,
when you have chat tired feeling"
the d'ish-washing will not seem SO irk
some.
Have soap and securing powder in
plenty. Nothing lis better or. cheaper
for Frightening pans and kettles and
also for cleaning knives than a damp
rag dipped in wood ashes.
Use oilcloth to save scrubbfng wood
work and old papers to save washing
oilcloth. I would not have bread
board to be scraped and washed each
time it is used and then hung up for
the dust to settle on, but prefer to use
clean newspapers each time and then
burn them.-Nettie Houston in Prairie
Farmer.

in room will keep flies out, but have
never tried it. Try it sisters, and get
some fly paper at the druggists, but
above all, keep the kitchen sink and
slop pals we'll cleansed with hot
pearline suds and the flies will be
thinned out if not eXterminated.
Next come the ants, and of these
there are two kinds that are trouble
some in the house. One kind is called
the sugar ant and is very fond of all
kinds of sweets. The other likes fat
meat and any kind of greasy food.
For the black ants sprinkle white
helebore in the runs and for the red
ones use Paris green. If one objects
to using the poisons, try black pepper
A chalk mark will often keep them
away, as they do not like to go over
the chalk lit can he put across their
run on the door SILL around the sugar
pail, or anywhere that they are trou-
b1eSOme.
Fleas sometimes become very trou-
blesome in dry weather and are diff
cult to get rid Of.
A thorough cleaning of the yards,
sheds, etc., is the first thing to be
done. Then sprinkle air-slaked lime
freely everywhere that it is at all
dusty.
Some recommend the use of salt
made into brine and sprayed on the
ground about the premises. 1 have
never known the lime to fail of clear
ing them out.
For bed bugs, remove the bedding to
the clothes line, where it will have the
direct rays of the sun, and drench the
beadstead with kerosene. Other things
may be equally as effective but are
not always at hand like the kerosene.
Before taking the bedding in, examine
it thoroughly and with a cloth damp
ened with kerosene rub all of the
mattress seams. If the bugs are in the
walls or floor use the kerosene with a
small brush OF close the room perfect
ly tight and burn birthstone in it, This
should be done early in the morning,
as it will require several hours for the
smoke to get out of the house, and in
the meantime the family will have to
picnic outside.
For reaches there is nothing else so
good as powdered boraX. Scatter it on
the pantry shelves, over and under the
papers, about the kitchen sink, in bu-
reau drawers and everywhere that you
find traces of them. You will find a
few dead ones and the remainder will
disappear.
For moths many use the camphor
moth balls but these have such a dis
agreeable Odor that one almost hates
to wear a garment after it has been
with them. If woolens are packed in
tight trunk or box and pieces of cam
phor gum placed among them it will
be equally as effective. Lavender
bags will answer the same purpose, or
lavender water can be sprinkled on
furs or feathers. Experience.
