Black Ants

Ny Dear Miss Boom.
will yon kindly suggest a way OF get
hng rid of black ants, which are con
unually botbering us around the closet?
CONSTANT READER.
There are several ways to get rid of
ants, any one Of which may pc effectual.
Try one. Of the following methods: l..
Sprinkle the Closet with oil of pcnnyroyal
et strew fresh pennyroyal about. The
Strong odor of the pennyroyal is distaste-
ful to the insects and is apt to drive
them away. 2. Sometimes the odor of tar
er leaves of wormwood will cause them to
disappear. 8. The use OF powdered cloves
and powdered borax has been known to
give satisfactory results. 4. A few drops
Of oil of cedar on bits Of cotton strewn
about the closet may Danish the pests. 5.
Put into the closet 4 few live Goals and
sprinkle over them about two tablespoon
fuls of powdered gun camphor. close the
door and allow tho fumes of the camphor
TO saturate the closet. Two or three such
fumigations MAJ be necessary before all
the ants are exterminated.

II you will cover the spot with Fuller's
earth n leave the earth on 1t over
night o will find that a great deal of
the greas will be absorbed by morning.
After a; couple of cleanings the spot will
be scarcely noticeable, A good a to
clean the shoes Is to wet a soft rag with
water. into which a few drops of house,
hold ammonia have been poured, rub
the rag with ivory or CASTLE soap and
rub the shoe. keeping one "a inside to
hold the shoe in shape. When the shoe
has become perfectly dry, rub it with a
soft flannel until It shines.

Should He Raise His Hat to His
Sisters and His Cousins and
His Aunts?
Dear Miss Doom:

Dear Miss Doom:
A says IT is not the proper thing for a
gentleman to tip his hat to an aunt,
while SAYS 1t Is. VIII You kindly state
your opinion and greatly oblige a
FAITHFUL READER.
AS aunt is a woman is she not? In
the eyes of a true gentleman all woman
kind, from his mother and wife down to
the poor unfortunate whom cirenm-
stances has degraded. is sacred. The
little outward courtesies are the only
means by which a man can eyince to the
world the respect with which he regards
the opposite sex. and these courtesies
should be shown, regardless OF race,
color or relationship. Unless there is
some hereditary weakness In AS family
that makes II dangerous to air his head
frequently, he should raise his hat not
only TO his aunt, but also to his aunt's
maid.
