BERTHOLF TELLS
 OF CAPT. JARVIS
Nugget Special Service.

WASIIINGTON, D. c, June 2l- Perhaps no other person in Washing ton was SD greatly shocked by the death of Capt. Jarvis as Capt. Ells- worth F. Berthnlf, newly appointed captain, commandant of the revenue cutter service. They had known each other for years and both participated m the rescue of the whalers stranded al Point Barrow Alaska. several years ago. for which they were both awarded medals by congress. Speaking of Capt Jarvis death, Capt. Berthoif said to- day:
 The news has stunned me and I find it hard to realize what has hap pened. Years ago when Capt Jarvis and l were brother officers in the same service l lived with him in the same tent, was his cumrade in times of hardship and danger and got to know him as a man of indomitable courage unswerving in his devotion to duty and uncompromising in his honesty
 Not many people really knew him. Tor he was silent man and rarely talked of himself but no one who ever had the privilege of knowing him well ever failed to love and to appreciate him. Being trained to military habits from his youth, he gave unqu astiuu=d obedience where it was due. and de- handed the same when il was due him and rarely gave an explanation
 Ever conscious of rcCtitude of his own actions, he seldom defended him. self when criticized by those who mis- understood him. and the note he left on his desk when he passed into the great beyond is characteristic of the man-'tired and worn out no explana- ton, no complaint and no bitterness. just a simple heartbrcakmg statement of facts"

How to Exterminate Them.
"A building can be made rat-proof.
Rats can be exterminated from a
building and the return made impos-
sible. 1t is simply matter of proper
| construction. Rats never enter a
building if it is properly constructed.
They cannot be successfully exter-
minated unless any existing defects
are first remedied.
There are three means of exter-
mination: traps, ferrets and virus,
The traps are the best known means,
but they cannot always be relied on.
Ferrets may, in some cases, be en-
ployed with success, for instance on
ships or in large warehouses or cold
storage houses, but the virus has
proved the best means of extermin-
alton. It will not kill or harm, if It
is the right kind, any other animal
but a rat, and when it does kill a
rat it at the time preserves the body
so that no offensive odors result.
Next to the ferret the Irish terrier is
the most useful of all rat extermin-
ators. One small terrier not more
than eight inches high will, if prop
erly trained, keep a hundred-acre
farm free from rats.
When They Are Dangerous.
"In warehouses rats are sometimes
so numerous that they can be caught
alive with the hands. But this is a
very dangerous method, because
when rat is tantalized or aggra-
waited a venomous fluid gathers in
his upper jaw and his bite is gen.
orally followed by disastrous results.
If he can be caught as he is emery
ing from his hole his bite is merely
painful When rats are caught by the
hand the proper method is to throw
them violently to the floor, as the
impact will break the backbone, no
matter in what position they strike.
ut is very seldom that rats ana
mice will be found infesting a build
ing at the same time, as the rats are
the natural enemy of mice. They
pursue them and kill them whenever
seen. The greatest factor in the
increase of rats in the United States
is the persistent killing off by farm
ers and sportsmen of the birds anu
animals that prey on rats"
