How Best to Exferminafe
The Very Annoying Bed Bug

ural enemies that might be kept
away by the odor are already
kept away by the conditions un-
der which the "Cimex" lives, and
the roach and house ant, which
sometimes feed on these vermin,
are not evidently deferred by
this characteristic.
The "Cimex", though normally
feeding on human blood, may sub
sist on much simpler food. No
other explanation would seem to
account for the fact that houses
long unoccupied are still infest-
ed with this pest. The insect,
however, is quite capable of leav-
ing any quarters where it is I'M
able to thrive, and will often mi
CRATE to an adjoining house if the
residents leave it's present habi-
tation vacant. 1t displays such
apparent intelligence in using
every means of escape, as win
dows, walls, water pipes and
cutters, that it may be- the mis-
fortune of any housewife to have
her premises invaded, despite the
best of care. The insect also dis
plays a surprising. facility for
concealment, and will abandon
beds before daylight and go to
distant quarters for protection
far beyond the reach of the most
diligent search.
From its habits of concealment
this pest is usually beyond the
reach of powders, and the ordinary
insect powders such as pyrethrum
are of practically no value. The
eradication of the insect is COM
paratively easy from iron and
brass bedsteads, but wooden bed
steads offer a much more diff
cult problem. Very liberal appli-
cations of benzine or kerosene, or
any petroleum oil, is the most
practical way to meet this diff
ficulty. This must be introduced
into all crevices with small brush
es or feathers, or by injecting
with small syringes. Corrosive
sublimate is also of value, and
oil of turpentine may be used in

A pest that is dreaded by all
housewives, but whose presence is
not necessarily an indication of
carelessness, is the Cimex lee
tularius commonly known around
here as the bed bug. This insect
is called by many names in differ
ent localities. An old English
name is "wall-louse." In Boston
these parasites are called "chintz-
es" or "chinches''. In Baltimore
one hears them called "mahogany
flats and in New York they are
styled "red coats" "Cimex' is a
name given to the bug by the Ro-
mans who were well acquainted
with it; "lectularius'' refers to it's
habits, being a derivative of "lec-
tus" meaning "bed' or "couch.'
The Cimex lectularius is not like
ly to be very active in winter in a
cold room, and ordinarily hiber-
mates in it's place of concealment,
but in warm rooms it may con-
tinue it's activities the year around.
1t is an animal that displays a
certain degree of wariness and in
telligence from it's long associa-
ton with man. Like nearly all in
sects parasitic on animals, having
had slight necessity for extensive
locomotion, it has, after many
ages, lost its wings. The absence
of wings is a most fortunate cir
cumstance, since otherwise there
would be no safety from this
pest, even for the most careful
and thorough housekeeper.
Another characteristic feature of
this insect is the very distinct
odor which it exhales, an odor
characteristic of many plant in
sects as well. The possession of
this odor, disagreeable as it is, is
also a fortunate circumstance, as
it is of considerable assistance in
detecting the presence of its own
er. This characteristic odor is sup
posed to have been originally the
means of protection against birds
that feed on insects, but it has
long lost this especial value for
the Cimex Lectularius. The nat

the same way. The liberal use of
boiling hot water, wherever il may
be employed without danger to
furniture, etc., is also an effectual
method of destroying both eggs
and active adults.
Various remedies and mixtures
for this pest are for sale, most of
them containing one or another of
the ingredients mentioned, and
these are frequently of value. A
daily inspection of beds and bed
ding and all crevices and locations
about the premises is the best
method to use. A vigorous cam
paign should, in the course of a
week or so at the outside, result
in the determination Of this very
obnoxious and embarrassing pest.

SPROUTED OATS NOTA FOOD

SO many poultry raisers have
gained an idea by "cheap food adj
vertisements" for poultry that
sprouted oats is a valuable food
This is not SO. Sprouted oats is a
stimulant and aid to the digestive
organs in force feeding for lay
ing hens and pullets.
The Maine Agricultural College
carried on some experiments which
are very interesting and we print
what they say in regard to green
food and sprouted oats.
There is a general unanimity of
opinion amongst experienced poul-
trymen that poultry do best up
on some form of green or sue
culent food during the winter
mont 8. The func ion of such sue
culent food is probably largely ia
the nature of a digestive stimu-

liant, rather than as an addition to
the actual food constituents of
tle ration. Formerly mangolds
were used as a source of winter
succulent food at this Station.
They did not, however, prove en-
tirely satisfactory. The chief diff
ficulty witn the mangolds was
found in get ing them properly
grown so tnat they would keep
fresh and plump during the win
ter. If mangolds are not ripened
off and harvested in the proper
manner ey will not keep through
tie winter but will shrivel and
become unfit to use as succu-
lent food. In the experience of
the Station it is mucn better not
to feed any green or succulent
food at all than to feed withered,
shriveled mangolds which We're
tarNe ted before they were thor
oughly ripe.
On account of this difficulty with
mangolds az a source OF winter

The method is as follows:
Place in the center of the room
a dish containing about ounces
of birthstone, within larger
vessel, SO that the possible over
flowing of the burning mass may
not injure the carpet or set fire
to the floor. After removing from

The Best Wife, The Most COnfenfed
HOusekeeper, and the Dearest Mother
Mrs. Mary Wicks. Editor

What kind of woman makes the
best wife and mother?
Mrs. John Martin, antisuffrasisti
writer of books, maker of bon mots
and, incidentally, the mother OF
two curly-haired little adopted
boys. believes that as the shoemak-
er should stick to his last, so the
wife and mother should stick to
her Job, and her job, Mrs. Martin
says, is inside her home.
"Hhe woman who tries to do
mans work." Mrs. Martin said re-
Gently, "can't be the best wife and
motner. Making laws is mans
work. Going out into the world
is mans work. Woman's true work
is tAe four walls of her house.
"If the mothers of the world turn
out half-baked citizens, of course
the laws aren't going to be we'll
made, but the way to remedy con-
ditions is not for these mothers to
go into politics and try to mend
the laws their half-baked sons
make. They should begin at the
bot .om of things and turn out
better voters. That is the kind of
wives and mothers this country
needs"
But Mrs. Alfred j. Emo of Queens
Village, Long Island, hard
worker for suffrage, is also the
motAer of a little adopted boy, and
she believes it impossible for a
woman to be a really good wife
and mot .er unless she is interest
ed in outside things.

If tie game has been left for

If game is clean and fresh wipe
