the new traps is to stop up one more
avenue whereby bubonic plague may
enter the port.
The trap consists of a metal plate
about ten inches in diameter, to which
are attached two-tnch uprights for

above the floor level, and the rat rises
on its hind feet and places its fore

the rat is shocked to death.

fire, and immense property and vain.

been built TO replace tho one opened
during the reifSl Of Charles l., which
was burned down in 171S. TAs first
custom house in London On a large
scale was erected as early a. the ear
1904. A yet larger one was built some
ESQ years later. and wa, destroyed by
frs in 1865. The present edif1e was
built after the fire Of 100 years ago
and was opened in 1917. It occupieg

metropolis. Its total cost was about

Efficiency Expert


In these days, when the efficiency
fetish is SO rampant, everything in
the shape of record-breaking produc-
ton of some useful thing is of popu-
lar as well as scientific interest. This
particular record-breaker is a British
short-horn cow of the name of Model
Maid, in the neighborhood of Bristol.
She has given 1884 gallons of milk
during period of twelve months.
This Is equivalent to something over
Twenty-Five quarts a day, including
Sundays and holidays. Obviously. If
our local milkmen would take IN a
collection and import a couple of
Model Maids female offspring. a little
very amateur eugenics would, in an.
other decade or two, solve the citv's
milk problem. A herd of but four
Model Maids would supply 100 fami-

ELECTRICITY TO KILL RATS
City Of Tacoma Very Up-to-Date in its
Efforts to Rid Itself of
Wharf Pests.

Poetic and pictorial as the Pied Pi-
per method of Kidding q city of 70
dents may be, Tacoma, Wash, has de-
decided that it LIS no longer possible
to depend on it, and instead of an in
spired stranger of picturesque pres
ence who wields strange power over
the rats and mice of the community
It has set up new kind of electric rat
trap, especially invented for the pur-
pose of exterminating the thousands
of rats which infest the city wharves.
Mr.. William Hall, dock superin-
tendent OF Tacoma, and Mr.. Harry T.
Abbott, city electrician. are the joint
inventors of the new municipal rat
trap, which they have refused to have
patented because they think that it
should be on the market at as low q
price as possible, so that other munich
palities may use it for the extermina-
tion of their wharf rats 1t Is Of the
greatest Importance that the rats
around the docks should be extermi.

Cream Cheese Cure for Ulcers.

DR.. George o. Williams of Greene,
N. Y, has found that soft curd cheese
is an excellent poultice for varicose
ulcers. He tells in the Medical Record
of one case in which he healed an
old and deep ulcer two inches wide by
three inches long.
Giving the patient pills internally,
he applied to the sore poultices made
from soft, well ripened, full cream
cheese, to which was added mixture
of equal parts of cream and water.
The whole was worked into a soft
mass. The water and cream were
added to prevent drying" This was
spread upon gauze large enough just
to cover the ulcer. It was renewed
morning. noon and night, the patient
going about her ordinary duties on
the farm. The application was pain
full for about an hour and half; the
cheese entirely disappeared within
five hours, seemingly being eaten up
by the ulcer.
Twenty days of this treatment re-
suited in the healing of the ulcer. with
no scab remaining,

by aid of the telescope you can get
to the stars actually in less than no
time, because you can see things that

in the University of Oxford in one of
the series of lectures on "A Voyage in
Space" IF you could go into one of
the nearest stars Immediately and
take sufficiently powerful telescope
you would be able to see yourselves as

Mr. William A. Radford will answer
questions and give advice FREE OF
COST on all subjects pertaining to the
subject of building, for the readers of this
paper. On account of his wide experience
as Editor, Author and Manufacturer, he
is, without doubt the highest authority
on all these subjects. Address all inquiries
to William A. Radford, No 1927 Prairie
avenue, Chicago, ILL.,, and only enclose
two-cent stamp for reply.
The first important work in building
Is the excavation for the foundation
walls. All complete plans specify that
trenches shall be left with natural bot
toms, level and smooth for the recep-
ton Of walls. piers, etc.
Not long ago workman in digging
trench for a center wall In a large
city block 1nisread the directions and
got the excavation a foot deeper than
the specifications called for. The con-
tractor called the owners attention to
1t, as an honest man should, and Of
fered to build the wall from the bot
tom up If the owner would pay the
bare cost Of the extra material; but
this the owner refused to do. The
contractor thereupon dumped the
loose earth, the only thing he could do,
and brought the bottom up to the
depth required by the specifications.
The building was completed and ac-
cepted by the owner. After lapse of
six months the center wall settled suf-
f1ciently to crack the plaster on every
wall In the house clear to the third
story.
1t was block Of fats occupied by
six families. Three of the families
moved out because they thought the
building was unsafe to live in. This
led to a lawsuit between the owner
and the contractor The contractor
was able to prove that he went to the
owner and offered to fill in from the
