To FIGHT Bed Bugs.

For mild infestations. a number Of
common remedies are quite effective.
One Of the best is liberal use of gas
oline. Pour 1t over the cracks in the
mattress and about all the cracks and
crevices of the bedstead. Do the
work thoroughly and pour in suffi-
cient to fill every crack. Wherever
this fluid comes in contact with eggs
or insects they will be killed. The
gas is explosive, however, and must be
used during the day and when there is
no danger from fire in stoves. lamps
or cigars.

only 100 rounds apiece for those guns"

is believed that 1000 or more men fell.
The private houses within the line OF
fire suffered greatly.
