How to Kill Ants

The most effective way of killing
ants is by the use of carbon bisul-
phide. A quantity of carbon bisul-
phide is poured down each hill or
nest and then all openings are closed
up. The fumes of carbon bisulphide
are heavier than air and sink to the
uttermost parts of the ant chambers,
where they kill every ant which
breathes them. To make the treat
ment most effective match should
be touched to the opening of the hill
after three or four ounces has been
poured down. The result is an ex-
plosion which forces the fumes
through every crook and Granny. Be
careful in doing this. A good way is
to tie wad of paper to the end Of a
long pole, light the paper and ex-
plode the fumes by it. Every person
who deals with carbon bisulphide
must remember that the fumes are
poisonous to all animals and that the
gas is very inflammable. --Wallaces
Farmer.

How Got Your Goat" Began.

Sitting At a table in Broadway
cafe 4 well-known turfman a few
nights ago told how the phrase Got
your goat" originated. He said it
was borrowed from the racetrack
stable. He said that it had been the
custom of many trainers to place a
goat with thoroughbred in training
for a race. The diversion that the
goat furnished the horse was sup
posed to play great part in balancing
the animals temperament. When
the time for the race was near at
hand great care was exercised to
prevent the horses friend from being
stolen by hangers-on who figured
thus to unnerve the racer. The loss
of the goat has been known to worry
a thoroughbred enough to make him
lose race, and so it came to be said
that when horse failed to perform
up to expectations somebody had his
goat.--New York Sun.

In Defense of the Ice Cream.

Down at Washington there is Il
pessimistic person on the govern
ment pay roll who seems to like
nothing better than to make life
miserable for his fellow men. This
is DR.. H. w. Wiley, chief of the
chemistry bureau, whose self-confes-
sed hobby is pure food Now it is
this, and now it is that; but always
it is something whose consumption is
certain death to the consumers. Time
and again we have seen our popula-
ton of some $4,000, 900 shrivel and
wither away under the terrific strain
of DR.. Wiley's figures Of the inevita-
BILE results of our indulgence in the
things which we like to eat. just
now it is ice cream that has drawn
his deadly fire. Yes, ice cream-the
common, frozen stuff whose cooling
ministrationS has made life livable for
so many millions in each recurring
summer. If all DR.. Wiley says about
ice cream is true, the men who COM
pile the death rate in our health de-
partment must be the biggest liars
on record. If the disease and death
which he finds lurking in the ice
cream dish is really there, our an
nual death rate should be something
like 99S.9S per 1000, instead of a
trifling 1865 or so.-Chicago Inter-

Automobiles and Newspapers.

ulssisville ooar,er-JOurnall
Did you ever stop to think what
newspaper advertising has done for
the automobile business? In the be
ginning the automobile manufacture
ers did not make much use of the
newspapers in heralding the good
points Of their products They struck
pretty closely to the magazines and
they did not sell any enormous num-
Der of cars. Men of wealth bought
autos. but the masses didn't get in
tereSted.
When the manufacturers began
buying newspaper space their sales
began 10 increase and now they are
selling machines by thousands where
they formerly sold them by dozens.
Lots of well-to-do people read the
newspapers every day, but never
subscribed for a high-priced maya
zine and do not see the inside of one
more than once a year. When the
manufactures told about their wares
through the daily papers a vast num-
Der Of persons who never had given
the automobile a serious thought ac-
quired a sudden interest in the sub
iect. They made mental COMPARE
sons between rival machines and
they weighed carefully the claims of
the rival makers, By and by they
commenced buying automobiles and
the business doomed as it had not
doomed before, II has been BOOM
ing ever since.
Farmers did not give the motor car
much attention until they saw it ex-
plotted in their favorite newspapers.
Then they began to investigate and
inquire. They came to the conclu-
sion that the automobile was a good
thing and they became buyers. The
marvellous development of the auto
mobile trade is uniy one instance out
OF many of the same sort,
