How He Ga, Rid of Rats.

A farmer describes his method of
clearing the premises of rats in the
following manner: "On a large mum.
Der of old shingles l put half-tea-
spoonful of treacle each, and on that
with my pocket knife l scraped a
small amount of concentrated lye. l
then placed the old shingles around
under the stable floors and under the
cribs. The next morning 1 found 40
dead rats, and the rest left the farm
for parts unknown. l have cleared
many farms of the pests in the same
way, and have never known it to fail"

THOUGHT 1T NATIONAL TRAIT.
Driver Couldn't Understand American
Not Being In Hurry.

A traveller returned from Jaffa tells
tale at his own expense. Having
journeyed to the historical seaport on
his way to Jerusalem, he succeeded
in hiring conveyance to carry him
to the station. BY speech and gesture
he informed the native driver that he
wished to be carried in leisurely,
sightseeing fashion through as many
as possible of the principal thorough
fares of Jaffa, and to be delivered at
the terminal just in time to take the
outgoing train.
He had no sooner seated himself in
the vehicle, however, than the driver
whipped up his horse and whirled the
dismayed traveller at furious pace
through all the dust and over all the
stones of the notoriously rough streets
of Jaffa. The passenger was too bus
lily employed in saving his bones to be
able to see anything of the interesting
town.
Arriving at the station, he found
that he still had two hours to wait.
"Why in the world" he demanded,
Indignantly, did you ever hurry like
that?"
You American" responded the
driver, with an expressive shrug. "All
American like go very much fast

Where enough crates are provided
for all the seed corn, explains E. b.
Gibbs, in Twentieth Century Farmer
an equal number of trays may be ar
ranged so that all of the seed may be
tested at one time and under the same
conditions. The seed should be kept
as near the temperature of the ground
in which the crop is to be planted as
possible. Where it is desired to plant
the seed in soil wooden crate can be
made of thin lumber and filled level
with soil and spaced off with the cord
the same as the glass tray.
All ears should be discarded that do
not give six good sprouts under fair
conditions, but if by testing you find
a dozen bad ears it will be the best
paying trouble you have had for some
time, besides you can do the testing at
odd times and it is worth more than
the cost just to know that you have
started the years work right, and you
can depend upon the seed when the
time comes to plant. If you cannot
figure out how 1t is going to pay, 60
on and test, and the extra corn in the
crib next fall will show for itself. An.

field before frost and store it in the

pusTLEss RoADWAYs.
We Now Have the Luxury of Abso-
lutely Dustless Roadways.

A bulletin issued last July by the
Kansas City park board makes the
above statement. A year ago, during
the summer months, the board had
fits whole force of sprinkling wagons
going every day in an attempt to keep
down the dust which made the enjoy
ment of the park drives impossible at
times. In few hours the hot summer
sun dried the roads, and every pass
ing motor car left clouds of fine rock
dust to settle on the foliage along the
drive. Now motor car passing at the
highest speed over any portion of the
extensive boulevard system leaves no
dusty trail in it's wake. The oil has
not only proved much more effective
than water but 1t is third cheaper
and preserves the roadways as well,
writes Roy A. Moore, in The World
To-Day. One of the serious problems
here, as in other cities, has been the
preservation of the drives from the
wear of the motor car wheels. The
oiled boulevard is also protected from
erosion. Formerly every rainstorm left
ragged gullies which took several
days to repair. The eye of the most
inexperienced could see that some.
thing was needed to bind the macad.
dam, to preserve a smooth surface
without dust and prevent washouts
at the same time. The net savings in
the use of oil for the year was $5,.

Counting a Billion.

Speaking of counting the hairs OF
your head--suppose you undertook to
count a billion, how long do you think
it would take you to do it? A billion,
according to the French notation,
which we follow, is thousand mil
lions. If you had before you pile
of silver dollars containing a million,
and could count one every second, for
eight hours every day, it would take
you 35 days to complete the task. But
suppose you undertook to count a
thousand of those million-dollar piles
you would be at work eight hours a
day for $4,000 days, or about 100
years.

COMPLAINTS ABOUT PAINT.

The time to complain about paint
is before the painter applies it. The
man who puts up the money should
not shirk the responsibility of choos-
ing the paint. True, the painter
ought to know paint better than the
banker, the professional man or the
merchant. The trouble is, the house
owner too often deliberately bars the
competent and honest painter from
the job by accepting a bid which he
ought to know would make an honest
job impossible.
Secure your bids on the basis of

Capt. Evans, charged with getting

desire on the part of most men aboard

had to say; and the man, sizing up
the delicate situation, said:

CHANGE IN FOOD
Works Wonders in Health.

1t is worth knowing that change
in food can cure dyspepsia. Il deem
it my duty to let you know how Grape
Nuts food has cured me of Indigestion.
II had been troubled with it for
years, until last year my doctor recon-
mended Grape-Nuts food to be used
every morning. l followed instruc-
tions and now l am entirely well.
"The whole family like Grape-Nuts,
we use four packages a week. You
are welcome to use this testimonial
as you see fit"
The reason this lady was helped by
the use of Grape-Nuts food, is that it
is predigested by natural processes
and therefore does not tax the stom-
ach as the food she had been using;
1t also contains the elements required
for building up the nervous system.
If that part of the human body is in
perfect working order, there can be no
dyspepsia, for nervous energy repre-
sents the steam that drives the engine.
When the nervous system is run
down. the machinery of the body
works badly. Grape-Nuts food can be
used by small children as well as
adults. 1t is perfectly cooked and
ready for instant use.

You Would Not Accept Counterfeft

by manufacturers who are willing to

of the material offered to you through
the medium of their advertisements in
this paper Counterfeit goods are not

BETTER INDIANS.

The Umatilla Indians are paying up
their bills and accounts better this
spring than ever before. Since they
have been drawing their present pay
ment Of $4,000 during the past week,
practically all Of their bills have been
paid off and their obligations dis
charged. Many old bills which had
been standing for years and which
had been neglected through several
payments Of funds, have been prompt
ly paid with this money and the tribe
is in better condition today than ever
before.
This improving condition of the In
dian is largely due to the splendid in
fluence and example Of Agent Arthur
Z. McFatridge, who has given his best
efforts to the management Of the res
ervation affairs and to the upbuilding
OF the tribe.
The Indians respect Agent McFat-
ridge and his influence with them is
perhaps greater than that Of any Of
the recent agents. He advises with
the Indians tells them to be honest
and square and to his constant moral
teaching is due a large part Of the i'm

not require many years to elevate the

Shenandoah river. 1t is built upon a
hill known as Bolivar Heights" and
is overshadowed by mountains known
as London Heights" in Virginia, and
Maryland Heights" in Maryland.
Harper's Ferry is a popular sum-

and is reached within an hour and
thirty minutes from Washington and
about two hours from Baltimore. All
