Among the timely items that come to
hand is this from one of our readers, VINO
tells her method of getting rid OF ants
which are so annoying to many house
keepers She uses equal parts of white
sugar and tartar emetic. placing some OF
| this mixture in saucers which she stands
on the pantry shelves. The ants dis-
appear and do not return. The tartar Is
poisonous and should not be lett within
reach of children. To protect the grown
ups it is good plan to label the saucer
| poison"
For temporary relief from ants some
try sprinklng powdered borax wherever
the ants 90. They do not like it. Some
useaf fresh tansy leaves. The old-fashion-
ed heavy chalk line is quite effectual in
checking their progress. If the. opening
through which they enter is discovered
heavy chalk mark around it will send
them Back. Drawn around a sugar bucket
it 'deters the ants from entering it. Even
this good variety would not satisfy all of
our summer friends, as Sam S. Stimson
tells of certain favored entertainments
and preferences in these lines:
''The dancing seasons never stop;
Some of us dance through all.
The frog prefers a summer hop,
The moth a camphor ball

headache to the one who uses them and
to those who sit nearby in poorly ven
tilated churches. halls and theatres. A
