Turpentine for Bedbugs

T notice in the Helping Hand what Mrs. A. J. S. has to say about using car bolic acid for bedbugs. I consider it dan gerous. Turpentine is much safer to use
 With small round paint brush find every crack and crevice. Look the mattress over, also bedclothes. Take them off the bed
 then use the turpentine. Let it stand a while; look over the bed again. before putting on the bedclothes. If the Sturpen- tine has not reached some of the bedbugs they will crawl out and can be easily dis posed of. Take the metal ends off the springs, put in piece of flannel saturated with turpentine, then put the ends on again. The next time you need not take the ends out-simply saturate the flannel with turpentine. Go over the bed every day the first week, then once a week for a few weeks to be sure; also examine the edges of the room and the woodwork and the windows. Turpentine Is sure death to the bugs and eggs if it touches them, so you need not fear that you will not be rid of the pests, and in short time. 'H."

ELEVATOR FALLS
FOR SECOND TIME
Ten Passengers in Court House
Vehicle Which Becomes
Stalled.

For the second time within week
an elevator in the Court House
plunged down Its shaft shortly after
noon today, causing a panic among
the ten passengers, three of them
women.
The elevator had just stopped at
the fourth floor, when, without
warning, it started to descend, in
creasing its speed every second. Just
as it passed the second story the
safety clutches, which are supposed
to prevent any such accident.
worked and the car was stalled about
three feet below the second floor.
The passengers were able to push the
doors open, and the men assisted the
women out.
On Friday eight jurors acting in a
case at which Judge DUNCAN was
presiding and F'reeholder Ferdinand
Roemmele, jr., were imprisoned in
the car for a half-hour before they
could be released. 1t was said at
the time that a. frayed cable, which
had snapped was the cause of the ac-
cident.
That today's fall was not disastrous
is due to the safety speed clutches
working, it was said.

some length with Assistant City At

tons offices last night. The talk was
merely an informal one and had nc
significance, it was said today.
