gently. Let this stay on ten minutes,
and wash off with Resinol Soap and
more hot water, finishing with dash
of cold water to close the pores. Do
this once or twice a day, and you will

TOAD A VALUABLE SERVANT
Its Uses In the World Have Not Been
Accorded the Recognition II
Has Long Deserved.

Few well-meaning creatures have
been more thoroughly misunderstood
than the homely, meditative and re
firing toad
Formerly the toad was considered a
venomous reptile. but in our day its
habits have been more carefully OBJ
served and Its great value to the
promologist and gardener has been
fully established on account Of its
propensity for destroying insects.
We should, therefore. cultivate the
friendship and assistance Of the in
sectivorous reptiles. including the
striped snake. as we'll as that Of
birds
Every tidy housewife detests the
cockroach. mice and other vermin
Two or three domesticated toads
would keep the coast clear Of these
and would be found more desirable
than "A cat as they are wholly free
from trespassing Oh the rights Of man
as does the cat The toad is pos
sessed of timld and retiring nature,
loving dark corners and shady places.
but under kind treatment becoming
quite tame
Many instances might be cited OF
pet toads remaining several years in
family and doing most valuable
service with 10 other compensation
than that of immunity from persecu-
ton
In Europe toads are carried to the
cities to market and are purchased by
the hortfculturists who by their aid
are enabled 70 keep in check the null
tiplication Of the insect tribes which
prey upon their fruits, flowers. etc
