TO KILL MOTHS.

camphor and Tobacco Only Repel-
Carbon eisuiphide Advised.
Contrary to the general belief, cam.
phor, naphthalene and tobacco will
not kill clothes moths, says Suburban
Life. They act merely as repellants:
where they are used the moths will
not deposit eggs. II the eggs are al
ready laid or If the young have hatch
ed substances of this nature will have
no effect.
In May Or June the moths appear
and lay their eggs. which soon hatch
into the destructive grubs that breed
on feathers. wool, fur and other things
Of an animal texture. The campaign
against the moths must start early
in the spring II immunity for the rest
Of the year is to be enjoyed.
The easiest way to rid clothes of
moths is to give them a thorough
brushing once a week and then ex.
pose them to air and sunshine. Where
they are to be packed away, fumi.
cation with carbon bisulphide is the
surest method. The garments are put
in tight trunk, with moth marbles.
Then saucer is placed on top of
the pile with four or Ave tablespoon
fuls Of liquid carbon bisulphide in
it, easily obtained at all druggists.
The lid is closed and the trunk left
undisturbed until the clothes are
wanted.
The bisulphide evaporates, and be-
ing heavier than air, settles through
the garments. It is deadly to insect
life and will destroy it in all stages.
No odOr will remain in the clothes
after airing them a few moments. so
that they can be used as soon as they
are taken out. The moth marbles
prevent other females from crawling
in to lay their eggs.
A simple way. but not SO sure, is
after brushing the goods to pack them
in ordinary paper boxes or -four bags,
FASTING a strip of paper over the
cracks in order to keep out the moths.
For closets. cracks, carpets, furniture
or carriage furnishings a thorough
sprinkling of berzine or gasolene will
clear out the pests.

Danger in Milk.

It is no longer questionable that
the milk we drink is frequently a
means of disseminating the germs Of
tuberculosis in the digestive tract.
The international medical congress,
in session in Paris, has, after a dis
cussion of the subject, adopted a reso-
luton advising that all public insti-
tutions boil all the milk used. A
precaution deemed necessary in hos
pitfalls is no less necessary in the
homes of the people. AS We boil our
water to escape the ravage Of typhoid.
we must boil our milk to keep our.
selves safe from tubercular infection.

How Some Ships Are Lost.

The loss Of many English fishing
boats is now said TO be due to the
fact that the helmsmen often carries
specially forged fisherman's knife.
These knives possess strong mag
netic properties and will defect a
compass needle two or three points.
This means that the helmsman may
be apparently steaming true course.
but is in reality much out of the way.

Dr. William T. Gill the family physi-

pronounced the illness to be the result
of ptomaine poisoning. He procured a
piece of the beefsteak and after Il cur
sorry examination came to the conclusion
that the condition of the patients was
due to the meat.
Mr. Hoge was very i'll for "a while hut

WILL CARRY OUT PROMISES.
But There Will Be No Great Tariff
Changes, Says Speaker Cannon.

special Dispatch to Inc Star
CLEVELAND. Ohio November IS
There will be nothing radical done aoout
the tariff declared Speaker Cannon in
an address at the Cleveland Chamber OF
Commerce last night. We shall carry
out the promises that were III ,de in the
republican platform, but there will be no
radical changes.
Inside of a hundred days after the
next Congress convenes there will be a
revision of the tariff, but it will not please
every one. You must remember that
there are nearly $4,000 OO0 people i'm this
country. and yet We only average twenty
five people to every square mile. In the
old countries they average 100 TO the
square mile. and until We attain that av-
erage at least we will never change the
policy that has and does protect the peo-
pie of this country. both employer and
employe alike.
Speaker Cannon said the democrats
had put in their platform pledge that
had il been carried into execution would
have entirely destroyed a coordinate
branch of the United States government
and would have arrayed one against an
other by its declaration for class legisla-
ton.
