with the national Unitarian movement

strong local organization is expected
to result from this within a short time.

once. On Wednesday. December 20, Rev.

arrive TO conduct the first general meet
ing, which probably will be held at Tur-
pins hall at Twenty-eighth and Farnam

Grandpa is a Grand Old Name" is
the Song r. c. Hoyt Was Singing

Must be some stamp" murmured
John. wondering whether he hadn't bet
ter ask the boss TO lie down till he'd feel
more himself. Mr.. Hoyt went into his
private office softly singing. "Oh,
Grandpa is a Grand Old Name"
He tried TO work for a few minutes
But IL was no use. SO he called in Miss
Moore and John.
Il have a very important announce
ment to make" he said. This morning
at their home, 1906 Webster street, a
beautiful girl baby was born to Mr.. and
Mrs. Edward Lyman Hoyt. 1 am q
grandfather"
And Mr. Hoyt rose and strutted Ut
and down the room. smiling like a bas-
ket of chips on the way to bonfire.
In an instant II seemed the news had
spread by grapevine telegraph. and from
all over the building they came to offer
congratulations. Mr.. Hoyt held an In
formal reception.
The baby's name?
Well. Miss Moore said she thinks Flor
ence Adelaide would be a lovely name.
An odd coincidence is that Miss Moore s
name Is Florence Adelaide.
PLENTY OF time to decide on a name" ("
said Granpa Hoyt. "Of course, in the
case of this baby. probably the finest
ever born, only the finest name can be
selected"

1t is said that the girls social clubs
whose funds have been employed to-
ward the entertainment of their mel
friends are beginning to realize the
poverty o ftheir investments. 1t often
happens, they say, that after a girl
has put into an affair her hard earned
pennies she has to attend the party
alone, and sometimes spend most OF
the evening on the wall, the boys
not even asking her for a dance. AS
a rule in such cases as these the
boys" are Just what the girls" allow
them to be.

Among the many kinds of pests to
which humanity is subjected, vermin
are perhaps the most common and
all-pervading. Wherever human be-
ings live or congregate, there, as a
rule, will be found vermin of some
sort or other. Even the homes OF
the rich are not free from rats and
mice that have their runways in the
basement and from which they have
reaches and water bugs, though not
so numerous, are as much at home
in the kitchen of the jewellers IN the
boulevards as they are in the poor
homes of tenement jewellers, or in
the paste jars OF the downtown offices.
Then there is the ~unspeakable bed
bug, the terror Of housewives, and
whose unwelcome presence is often
noticed when least expected. These
dreaded foes to household peace and
comfort, so secretive and elusive in
their habits, are a veritable scourge
to a household when once they have
infested it.
At this season of the year, when
there is much moving and changing
of living quarters, the problem of YER
min becomes a pertinent one. Fortu-
nate, indeed, are those families who
find few or no vermin in their new
querters. Those who are less for
tunate should Immediately begin a
war of determination upon these pests,
not only because their mere presence
is obnoxious, but because they may
be carriers of disease from the family
which was their former host.
General cleanliness and eternal vigi-
lance is the best preventive of YER
min. Commercial exterminating prep
a~rations are many. Some of them are
good. more are of doubtful value. Tur-
pentine will kill bedbugs and destroy
their eggs, but it leaves a disagree
able odor which remains for days.
Sulphur fumigation kills the bugs but

not the eggs. Gasoline will destroy
both the eggs and bugs but it should
never be used at night when gas or
oil lamps r used for lighting. A
small bottle of gasoline will evaporate
gas enough to blow up a house. Cor
rosive sublimate or bichloride of mer-
curry also destroys the bugs and eggs,
but it is dangerous to have around
where children can get it, as it is a
violent poison. Black flag or pyre-
thrum powder is an effective insecti-
eide for bugs, flies, mosquitoes, water
bugs and reaches.
Mosquitoes and flies are recognized
carriers of certain infectious diseases.
For this reason we should seek not
only to keep them from the house but
also to destroy, as far as possible, the
jlaces where they breed. AS is well
known, stagnant pools, cesspools, rain
barrels and low lying moist grounds
are breeding places for mosquitoes.
Flies breed mainly in manure piles,
garbage can and dumps. The aboli-
tion, then, of the places and conditions
under which they are ~propagated will
mean their determination.
The house fly is one of the most
troublesome as well as the most dan.
gerous of insects. He delights in
filth of every kind and character. But
it is our misfortune that he has also
an equal delight for sampling all the
good things We eat. This is why he
is so dangerous. He will leave his
feast on the carcass of a dog to sail
into our dining room and help him.
self to the butter, milk, cake, fruits,
or whatever there is on the table that

The time has not yet come when
all the breeding places for the house
fly can be exterminated, and until
this can be accomplished let us pro-
tect u homes by carefully screening
all doors and windows. Let us be
sure, also, that we get screens early
before FLY time" arrives.
