You have probably read or heard
that the best way to rid a house Of
rats is to catch one and fasten a bell
about Its neck. A boy in Delaware
tried the experiment two months ago
He was badly bitten in making the
bell fast. but he turned the rat loose
and expected the tinkling Of that bell
would have great results. 1t did have.
In the first place. the rat who wore 1t
was constantly on the move all night,
and the tinkling bell kept the family
awake. and in the next the sounds
brought cores Of new rats to the
house. Instead Of being afraid Of the
bell, they we're charmed with the mu-
sic. Had the boy tied q harmonica
to another rats tail. the rodents would
have had a dance every night

Starchy food Is not digested In the
upper stomach but passes on into the

In which the starch has been trans

process of manufacture?
This Is identically the same form OF
sugar found in the human body after
starch has been perfectly digested.
Now, human food is made up very
largely of starch and is required by
the body for energy and warmth.
