To Get Rid of Red Ants.

Red ants can make a house almost uninhabitable. One can get rid of them, however, if one knows how. The first thing to do is to find the place they come from. e., where their nest is. If it be in an accessible spot, 8 little kerosene will quickly stop the trouble. On the other hand. if the nest be in the wall or under the floor, find the nearest accessible point, and kill the insects off as they appear.

Character Told by the Nose.

It is an ancient belief that the nose indicates ancestry. We speak about the aristocratic nose with its high bridge and the plebeian nose of the toiler. Certainly. in a great many cases, race can be distinguished by the nose. The Hebrew could hardly be confused with the typical negro nose. The hishly-srched nose Is sup posed to indicate tendency to rule. and the fiattened nose shows servility.

the German forces were not yet close
to the Belgian capital. The absence
of information about the movement
of the big armies is accounted for by
officials as due to the fact that Amer

POPE Plus X HEAD OF
THE ROMAN CATHOLIC
CHURCH DEAD At ROME
THE POPE'SL LIFE

Giuseppe Melchiorre Sarto, known
to the world as Pope Plus X, was
elected to the Pontificate on Aug. 4,
1908, and during his occupancy of his
exalted office as Head of the Roman
Catholic church, he was confronted
with some OF the most momentous
problems, religious and governmental.
with which the Holy See has had to
deal in modern times.
Pope Plus was born on June 2, 1885,
at Riese, in the Venetian provinces,
the first child of Clan Battista Sarto,
a postman, and his wife Margherita.
Giuseppes early career was influence
ed by the village priest. who took a
liking for the boy, taught him to read
and write and drummed into the
youthful head the rudiments of Latin.
At the age of II years he entered the
seminary at Casteffranco, not far from
his birthplace, and for four years ev-
cry day he tramped to school, usually
barefooted, until he reached the out
skirts of the village, where he would
slip on his shoes to keep up appear
ance.
From Castelfranco he passed in 1850
to the Seminary at Padua, and in 1858,
at the age of %, was ordained priest
and took up his studies at Tombolo. In
1867 he mad his first parish of import
ance, that of Salzano, where he re-
manned for II years. In addition to
his ecclesiastical duties Father Sarto
contributed largely to the support of
his mother and sister. who found life
a hard struggle, especially in the win
ter.
His eloquence led to his being call
ed at the age of 40 to Treyisoas chan
cellor of the diocese, and shortly after
he was appointed professor of theology
in the seminary. Nine years of SIREN
uous work followed, crowned In 1884. by
his assuming the mitre as bishop of
Mantua.
Leo XIII conferred upon Bishop Sar-
to the title of Roman Count and in
the Consistory of June, 1893, created
him cardinal, giving him the Roman
church of San Bernardo from which
to take his title. He was so poor that
he was unable to pay the fees connect
ed with the acceptance of the new dig
nifty, but some of his admirers came
forward and provided him with the
necessary funds
Creating him Cardinal, Leo XIII APP
pointed him also Patriarch of Venice,
but he did not leave Mantua until a
year later, owing to conflict between
the Italian government and the Holy
See, over the right of the House of
Savoy to be consulted before the ap-
pointment of Patriarch, the govern
ment having inherited the rights of
the republic of Venice. The dispute
was cut short by King Humbert also
appointing Cardinal Sarto as Patriarch
of Venice.
The Patriarch's relations with the
House of Savoy were always most cor
dial. Every time that their Majesties
or the princes visited Venice he paid
them a visit and presented his hom-
age. He was one of Queen Margherit-
as confessors, and only a few months
before the death of Leo XIII he was
next the Count of Turin in public

War Brought Depression

Grief over the war in Europe caused
the Pope much depression from the
first outbreak. and several days ago,
symptoms appeared of the old bron-
chial affection from which the Pope
was suffering from a simple cold and
that possible complete rest for a week
would restore him to his usual health.
The bronchial trouble, however,
spread and on Wednesday it was an
nounced that the Pope's condition was
serious.
Physicians Explanation
A bulletin issued at o'clock
Wednesday afternoon, signed by
Doctors Marehiafava and Amici, gave
the following explanation:
The Pope's condition grew worse
