CHINtSE ARE PREPARING TO
CELEBRATE THEIR new YEAR

The local Chinese contingent is maxi
ing preparations for celebrating the
Chinese New Year, which falls next
Sunday, January 20. A great many
invitations to outside Cinnamon have
been issued by the leading Chinese of
the city. There will be something
doln'" in the Joy" line, as the China
men will vie with each other I'm max
ing things enjoyable.
The hospitality of the Chinese dur
ing their New Years season has be-
come proverbial. In San F'ranciscos
Chinese quarters the Celestials go the
limit and, besides free and lavishly
spread banquet boards, they endeavor
TO send the lid sky high with a cease
less and costly explosion Of fireworks
Along Mott street in New York much
the same custom prevails, only it is
not so widely distributed.

RED ANT NUiSANC E.
Easy Matter &c Get Rid Of Them OF
You Only Try.

There has been great deal o.
complaint here this summer about
the damage done to yards and gar
dens by the big red ants that are 50
numerous here. They have also left
their usual haunts and have invaded
many of the homes, much TO the
discomfort of the occupants. This is
due probably to the fact that the eX-
treme hot and dry weather during
the early part OF the summer destroy
ed practically all vegetation and it
was necessary for the ants to hunt
new quarters for food. There are a
number OF things that can be used to
drive them from the houses, but TO
be rid OF them entirely alnd find some
thing that would kill them in their
hives has been quite problem, but
for ten cents YOU can buy al any drug
store enough medicine to kill any
quantity of them and with one appll'
cation. this medicine is commonly
