the sum of 100000.
Every since he entered the White
House President Taft has been i'm
bued with the conviction that the ma
chinery of government could be oper-
ated at much less expense than has
been the case for years past. Among
practical business men the Federal
governments wasteful and costly
method of carrying on its business has
dor years been at once a joke and a
Teproach and Senator Aldrich of
Rhode Island voiced the general opin.
Ion when he recently declared that he
could administer the affairs of the
biggest business institution on the
continent and by the introduction of
modern methods and policies save
fully $S0O.oOO,OOO a year over the

was made in the shipbuilding line so

that year Messrs. Thomas Barnes &

A Physician on Food.

A physician, Of Portland. Oregon.
has views about food. He says:
Il have always believed that the
duty Of the physician does not cease
with treating the sick. but that we
owe It to humanity to teach them how
to protect their health, especially by
hygienic and dietetic laws.
With such . feeling as to NV duty
take great pleasure In saying to the
public that in my own experience and
also from personal observation have
found no food equal to Grape-Nuts.
and that flnd there Is almost no limit
to the great benefits this food viii

sistently followed, is one of the most
effective ways of destroying rats.
"Guillotine" traps have marked ad-
vantages over the old style traps and
many of them can be used at the same
time. The more simply they are con-
structed the better. Probably those
made entirely Of metal are the best,
as they are more durable and are
less likely to absorb and retain odors.
Guillotine traps should be baited with
small pieces of Vienna sausage, fried
bacon, or a small section of an ear
of corn.
The pit trap consists of a stout, mar
row box sunk in the ground so that
the top is level with the rat run. It
is fitted with a cover of light wood or
metal in two sections; the sections
turn on rods to which they are fast
ened. They are weighted near the
ends of the box and so adjusted that
they swing easily. An animal STEP
ping upon the cover beyond the rods
is precipitated into the box, while
the cover immediately swings back
to it's place. Besides rats, the trap is
well adapted to capture larger ami
mails, as mink, raccoons, opossums,
and cats. It is especially useful to
protect poultry yards, game preserves,
and the like. The trap should be
placed along the fence outside the
yard, and behind shelter of boards
or brush that leans against the fence.
