DR.. Snyder's Address.

DR.. H. n. Snyder, president Of
Woford college, delivered a strong
and eloquent address on "The Ba-
raca as a Citizen.'' Couched in beau
tiful language, delivered with diction
superb, no mere synopsis could do
Justice to the deep thought which
his address displayed.
Religious work, he said, was tested
by its practical utility. The entire
bent and purpose Of it was to trans
mute it into the theory we use every
day. The study Of the Sunday was
to be transmitted into the life Of the
Monday and the Tuesday and every
day of the week. Results was the
aim. What were the results in the
daily life we were living. It was not
question Of how many books In
the Bible, we knew the names, but
how we put our knowledge into our
daily lives.
Jesus, he said, sought first to get
at the individual. Get every man
right individually and the larger
questions would become right. But
there was also another view. There
were larger obligations. There were
not only Individual duties and re-
sponsibilities, but there were, larger
obligations, to go out Of ourselves,
and help our fellows. Individual
character, he said, must express it
self in some proper social relation
ship. He employed the thought that
in the social relationship the Baracas
and Philatheas ought to give evil
dence of sympathy and Of liberation
and Of helpfulness. The law Of life
should not be one of competition but
one of helpfulness. It should be rec
ognized as the duty of one to 60 out
and help all and las of the duty Of all
to go out and help one-and that the
Baracas and Philatheas and all 9th
ers should consider the duty Of Chris
ton men and women.
Calling: attention to present-day
conditions, he said that the only way
o secure pure politics in America
was to have pure politicians, and the
only way to secure pure politicians
was for pure men to get together and
put pure politicians in positions.
"There is only one way,'' he said,
"to purify American politics, and
that is to put pure men in political
positions, and there is only one way
Of putting pure men in political po'
si:ions, and that is for pure men to
get together and put them there. y
W. have measures, he said, what
America needed in a time like this
was men. It was the bounden duty
IF every men actively to concern
himself with everything that made
for civic righteousness and the polit-
icai publication Of this country of
ours. These high and inspiring
thoughts he brought home to his
hearers. Fidelity to God, after all,
lie said, was service to man. There
was nothing else that equalled fdeli-
ty to a truth and to a cause. The
Baracas and tte Philath7as were
bound by their obligations to work
for the aims Ct the organization. He
paid a beautiful tribute to the Con- +
federate soIeier; and concluded as
follows:
"Out yonder in the common field !;

Pit Trap.

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 coz
struCted the better. Probably thOsu
made entirely of metal are the best.
rs they are more durable and ara
less likely to absorb and retain odor'y
Guillotine traps should be baited wit
small pieces of Vienna sausage. frie
bacon, or a small section OF an eg
of corn.
The pit trap consists Of stout, mar
row box sunk In the ground so that
the top is level with the rat run. 1t
is fitted with 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
20 its place. Besides rats, the trap is
well adapted to capture larger ami.
mails. as mink. raccoOns. opossums.
and cats. 1t 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.

Granaries, corn cribs, and poultry

Objection has been urged against con.

poultry, because the material Is too
good conductor of heat, and the
health of the animals suffers from

houses, dry soil or sand may be used

,By DAVID f. LANTZD

The brown or Norway rat is the
worst mammal pest in the United
States, the losses from its depreda-
tons amounting to many millions Of
dollars yearly-to more. probably,
than the losses from all other inju-
rious mammals combined.
Several species of rats are known
as house rats, but the brown rat is the
commonest and most widespread in
this country. Not one of these species
is a native, but all were imported
from the Old World.
The brown rat is practically omni.
vorous. feeding upon all kinds Of AMI
NAL and vegetable matter. 1t makes
its home in the open field, the hedge
row, and the river bank. as well as in
stone walls, piers, and all kinds of
buildings. 1t destroys grains when
newly planted. while growing, and in
the shock, stack. NOV, crib. granary,
mill, elevator, or ships hold. and also
In the bin and feed trough. 1t invades
store and warehouse, and destroys
furs. laces. silks, carpets, leather
goods, and groceries. 1t attacks fruits,
vegetables. and meats in the markets,
and destroys by pollution ten times as
much as it actually eats. 1t carries
disease germs from house TO house
and bubonic plague from city to city.
1t causes disastrous CONGREGATIONS,
floods houses by gnawing lead water
pipes; ruins artificial ponds and EN-.
bankments by burrowing; destroys
eggs and young poultry; eats the eggs
and young of song birds and game
birds: and damages foundations, floors,
doors, and furnishings of dwellings.
Rats have developed SO much in.
telligence and such extraordinary eau.
ton that attempts to exterminate
them have rarely succeeded. The
failures have been due not so much to
lack Of effective methods as to the
neglect of certain precautions and the
absence Of concerted action.
First in Importance. as n measure
Of rat repression, Is the exclusion of
the animals from places where they
find food and safe retreats for rear.
ing their young.
The best way to keep rats from
buildings, whether in city or in coun.
try. Is by the use of cement construc.
ton. AS the advantages OF this mate.
rial are coming to be generally un.

2. 1t produces fat beef more cheap

3. 1t enables cows to produce milk

4. Silage Is more conveniently han

S. The silo prevents waste OF corn

6. The silo will make profitable food

With the approach of cold weather
there is one feature of home building
that comes into new prominence. We
hear the question asked. How is the
house heated?" or. more often. is

portant questions; not more impor.
tant now, It is true, than in the hot
summer weather. for even then the
wise home builder looks forward to
the wintry days and provides against
them by proper construction; but now
that cold weather is upon us the ques-
ton OF adequate heating seems to be

With modern heating equipment
there is probably no form of dwelling
that cannot be adequately heated.
Some, however, are very difficult to
heat and require a much larger heat,
ing plant and much more coal than
they should. This is due sometimes
to faulty construction, sometimes to
unwise design.
In the first place every home build.
er should know that there is no mon.
ey so well spent as that put into insu.
lating felts and high grade shearhing
papers; which, combined with thor.

Also great care should be taken that

knotholes in such boarding are al

grave mistake. Much cold can find its
way In through even one large knot

and carefully plugged before the

struction much can be accomplished
