GETTING RID OF MICE
LITTLE PESTS IN A TRAP or
THEIR OWN MAKING.
Expensive Patented Shares Not IN 4
With the sugar Bag, to Which
Housekeeper Hereafter VIII
Pin All Her Faith

Mice always bother the people who
do light housekeeping more than Tho
ordinary householder probably be
cause the former Is more apt TO have
few mouse-tight receptacles for food
Various traps have been tried by one
couple who indulge in light house
keeping in a three-room apartment
says the Philadelphia Record. Some
times, at large intervals, they man
aged to catch one of the pests. Every
scheme of batting and setting traps
which they could find or invent was
tried and the mice continued to eat
everything they could get at, falling
back on diet of clothes when every
bit of food had been successfully
cached.
The mice seemed too wise to try the
traps, no matter how fresh and well
toasted was the cheese and bacon
rind. The couple was almost In de-
spair. and had nearly decided upon
using poisons, to which, for sanitary
reasons, they had hesitated to resort.
The mice themselves. waxing over
greedy, fell into trap Of their own
setting. and one has been caught
every day or two until now there are
only one or two left, but the happy
housekeepers have great hopes OF
catching them all
One of the few provisions which
had not been stored was the sugar
which is bought in a large. rectangu-
lar box. holding FIVE pounds. The
cover was slit a little way at one end
end the sugar bowl filed by pouring
from this aperture The sugar was
left out. because II was thought thar
nice did not possess a sweet tooth
Then one day when a large quantity
Of the boxful had been removed at
one time, the woman opened the
closet door to stand frightened at
some scrambling sounds she heard
She quickly located them in the box
Of sugar and realized what had hap
pened.
The mice had discovered the sugar
atd had been feeding from it, gaining
the tiny opening from a shelf beside
which the box stood She had taken
ont so much sugar that on its last
trip the mouse, in its sudden fright,
could not make the leap which would
o~rry it through the small hole. The
woman quickly put a piece Of sugar
0~er the opening and then carried the
box to a pail of water, into which she
shook the mouse.
Several others have trapped them
/ selves in the same way and the WON
an declares that when they have eat
en- all the sugar she win rebait the
Fox with some more, and never, never
enend any more money on patent
traps.

that Topeka is growing. A large number

Brandeis is a Republican, but be-

trusts is wrong. Brandeis believes
that Wilson's plan of destroying mo-
