Remedy for Pleas

Will you kindly tell me remedy for feas? I am bothered much with them I have tried everything that I know of, but nothing seems to do any good. I think someone brought them into my house in their clothing. MRS. V.~F. w."
 There has been, so far as l know, noth- ing found by housewives and science more efficacous in the fight with the nimble pest than pennyroyal. Get the green when you can, and strew the floors and furniture with it, leaving it lying thus for two days or more. Take one room at a time if you cannot spare more. Then sweep up the withered herbs and burn them immediately In addition to this, wash floors and closet shelves with strong pennyroyal tea. When you cannot procure the green pennyroyal get oil of pennyroyal; mix with boiling water a tablespoonful to the quart and scrub floors, etc, with it. Leave it to dry and evaporate for a day, shutting doors and windows. Strew dried pennyroyal in draw CTS and upon pantry shelves.

) New York, Oct l6.-How California
had increased its fruit shipments from
1000 carloads in 1885 to $4,000 car
loads now was described by G.. Harold
Powell, General Manager Of the Cali.
fornia Fruit Growers Exchange in an
address before the Quoin Club at Del,
monico's a few days ago.
"The value of the orange and lemon
crop shipped through the California
Fruit Growers Exchange every year ex.
ceeds the value of all the mineral
products of the state,'' declared Mr.
Powell, Gin fact, the total valuation of
tthis fruit is $27 100000"
"There is $200,OO0,0OO invested in
California s citrus industry. "Thirteen
to fifteen THOUSAND families are living
on land worth $1,000 an acre, and l50,-
900 persons are directly and indirectly
supported by the industry.
"The problem Of the California fruit
grower was one of distribution, he
continued. '"With our big market
New York $500 miles away we had to
do some very careful planning to get
Our oranges into the far away markets
quickly aud in good condition The in
dividual grower found that he could
not meet the situation effectively and
the California Fruit Growers Exchange
finally was formed for the purpose of
economical handling. The Exchange is
entirely a non-profit organization per

that all money received in excess Of
this cost goes back to the grower him

According to the speaker, 65 per cent
of the growers of oranges, lemons and
grape fruit in California are members
Of the Exchange. About 30 per cent
of the product is sold at auction in the
big markets of the East
"Where does your money 90 when
you buy 81 worth of orangesP Mr..
Powell asked his hearers. Answering
the question himself he said "about
one-third of the dollar goes to cover
the cost of getting the fruit to the
consumer. The wholesalers cost is
so per cent, the Exchange cost l.5 per
cent, and 90 per cent goes for trans
portation charges"
National advertising in newspapers
and magazines has kept consumer de.
