DESTRUCTION OF vERMIN.
Among the many kinds OF pests to
which humanity is subjected, vermin
are perhaps the most common and
aIl-prevading Of them all Wherever
human beings live or congregate
there as a rule win be found Vermin
Of some sort or other. Even the
homes Of the rich are not free from
rats and mice that have their run
ways in the easements and from
which they have every access to the
rooms above. Cockroaches and water
bugs are as much at home in the
Kitchens Of the jewellers on the boule-
wards as they are in the poor homes
Of the tenement jewellers, or among,
the paste pots of the downtown print
ing ohices.
Then there is the unspeatable bed
bug, the terror Of all good housewives.
and whose unwelcome presence is
often discovered when least expected.
These dreaded foes Of household
peace and comfort are almost
scourge to housewives for the reason
that it is only by constant care and
vigilance that they are able to keep
their homes free from them. The bed
bug Is both secrstive and elusive In
its habits. As an inhabitant of once,
store or factory It has no objections
at all to being carried home under
someone's coat collar In fact, IL the
housewives only knew it, the male
members Of the family who work
down town are frequently the ones to
blame for the presence Of the bed bug
in the home. Many Of the shops
where light manufacturing is carried
on, including printing ofices general
". are alive with vermin for the rea-
son that they are never properly and
thoroughly renovated.
General cleanliness Is the best pre-
ventive of vermin. discriminating
agencies are many. Some Of them
are good, more are Of doubtful value.
Turpentine win kin bed bugs and de-
stroy their eggs. Sulphur fumigation
kills the bugs not the eggs, for the
reason, where sulphur Is used. the
process has to be repeated until the
eggs are destroyed, which takes two
or three weeks. Gasoline VIII also
destroy both the eggs and the bugs,
but gasoline Is dangerous and should
never be used at night when gas or
on lamps are used for lighting. A
small bottle Of gasoline win evapoz-
ate explosive gas enough to blow up
q house. Corrosive sublImate or BIZ
chloride Of mercury may be used. But

knocked out, and the principles of Thomas
Jefferson re-established.
