Clothes Moth Easy to Kill.

VI The moth that destroys clothing has
Deen studied by the Pennsylvania d.
vi0lon Of zoology to such good purpose
tRM DR.. Surface gives this advice
about its destruction: .
"You q destroy the clothes moths
by s%aturating with benzine or gaso-
line the fabric which they infest. II
you will dissolve a very slight proper
ton Of corrosive sublimate in alcohol,
using not more than one part by
weight to 100 parts Of water and pour
or sprinkle this over a cloth it will
poison 1t and render it immune to
them.
Where clothes moths infest articles
that can be spread and shaken 1t is4a
good plan to take them into the sun
shine in an open yard and whip them
thoroughly with strong whips and air
them well. If one a place small arti-
sscles In an oven and watch the temper
ature that it does not get higher than
something like $50 to 16O degrees he
can kill this pest by heat. Where the
articles are small enough to put them
into a closed vessel a very excellent
method is to put them into something
that can be closed tightly and pour
over them or set upon them a shallow
pan containing the liquid known as
carbon bisulphide and let it stand and
fumigate three or four hours or more.
At least one pound Of this should be
used for each 100 cubic feet Of space,
AM more will do no harm. Keep fire
AMY from 1t, as 1t is explosive, the
same as the fumes of benzine or gaso-
line.
"a barrel will do very well for this
/ purpose, fastening over the top Of 1t
two or more sheets Of oilcloth. holding

Jumping Fish.

jumping FISH.
Members Of the salmon family are
universally famous for their high
jumps. The sea trout are untiring &C.
robats. and a fish Of a pound weight
will more than once jump several
times it's own length out Of the water
when hooked before coming to the net.
Unless the fisherman responds by
promptly lowering the top Of his rod
the fragile gut is likely to break, and,
as it is part of every sportsman's creed
to appreciate his pastime in proportion
to the difficulties it presents, the sea
trout stands high in the anglers esti-
nation.
At their best salmon can jump at
least ten feet above the surface, a feat
achieved by slapping the water with
the powerful tail and .fexing the body
until the head and tail all but meet
The grandest Of all these leapers is
the tarpon, which may cas- six or
seven feet and weigh q couple Of hun
dred pounds. .

Climbing the Mountains.

naming in the center and his or her
partner sitting alone in the circle. The
ring boy Tor ring girl. as the case may
bel is the starter, who stands in the
center of the circle. and he begins the
game by calling out, Il went into Asia
and climbed the Here he sud-
denly pauses. and the boy at whom he
points his finger must reply promptly
by naming some mountain in Asia. II
the boy cannot Immediately think Of a
mountain in Asia be turns quickly to
the girl beside him, and, should she
name a mountain promptly the game
continues. But should she also hest
tate till the ring boy counts five her
partner takes the ring boys place, and
the girl must take the place of the
lonely girl-who sits without a partner
while the boy who has been acting as
ring boy seats himself beside his part
ner. The game then begins as before,
the new ring boy calling out, II went
into South America and climbed

STUDIES OF THE TEMPLE"

Meetings of Seventh Day Adventists Increasing in Interest and
 Attendance

Interest still continues in the ser vices held in the Gospel Hall 25S Last Washington street. The studies this week have especially to do with the time and nature of the judg ment. Last night E"angeHst Booth said in part:
 We are instructed in the Revcla- Jion to Rise and measure the temple Of God and the altar and them that worship therein The temple of God is his sanctuary above. Now if we were called to measure d building in Chicago there are two ways to aC- CompIi-h it. We could go there or have d likeness of the Chicago build Ing here. We cannot go to heaven s0 the Lord has provided a likeness here. When Moses built the earthly sanctuary he was Instructed of God. See" saith he that thou make all things according to the pattern show ed thee in the mount" Moses was Up in the mount and God showed him the heavenly sanctuary. Thus when ,.e study the earthly We are measur- ing the temple of God in heaven.

TAD|SH TEST
 CASE DECIDED
Important Precedent Es- tablished for Liquor Indian Cases by Judge Sawtelle-Defendants In nOcent by Instruction

decision affecting the Indian liquor question in all parts Of the United States, and of such import ance as to be quoted as a precedent, was rendered yesterday in federal court when Judge SaWtelle instructed the jury in the Steve Tadish case to acquit. It is a case of Judge Saw telle taking on his shoulders bur den summed by United States dis trict judges not only in this but in other districts. And it may mean d pretty complete reivsiOn of the rules affecting the abstemiousness or the reverse of white persons on Indian reservations.
 The question arose over this point: Does the statute mean that the in troduction of liquor on an Indian serserve is criminal if it is intended solely for the use of the white man man and is only taken in in reason able quantities? Judge Sawtelle believes the statute is merely a safeguard thrown up around the Indian and in no way meant to curb the personal liberties of white men or others not Indians, who may happen to visit the reservations.
 Tadish and q number of friends were arrested a year ago on the san Carlos division of the White Noun tain Indian reservation. At the time of the arrest the men were in camp near Rice. They had with them d half gallon of whisky and flask partly emptied. There was evidence introduced in federal court yesterday tending to prove the men had been drinking prior to their arrest. Most of the party were asleep when the officers descended upon them. They claimed to be a hunting party and declared the spirits were for their own use and not intended for the Indians. Captain J. l.. E. Alexander representing the defendants, moved the court to instruct an acquittaI before noon and when the court met at 1:30 the ruling was delivered.
 Although contrary to the prosecu- uons case" said United States At torney Morrison yesterday, this rul- ing is very welcome. for it establishes q precedent that we have long needed. No other federal judge has ever been confronted by a case exactly like this one, and we have been rather at loss how to proceed"
 There is nothing to prevent the shipping Of liquor through an Indian reservation. Just so the points of destination and starting are without the territory set apart for the In | dians, there is no crime. But as re- gards the law, that k clearly meant to surround the red brother with d prohibition atmosphere, there has | been some slight obscurity as to how far it overlaps on white men.
