Gasoline Routs Crimson Rambler

'I approach you with diffidence, con- scious that the subject of my communica- ton is unpleasant. I have a sanitary couch which seems to be infested with bedbugs Once every week l take the mattress out and beat and brush it well, then wipe it thoroughly all over with gasoline. I keep the room scrupulously clean, and still every little while l find a bug in the bed. Do you suppose they breed in the mattress? l shall be most gra teful if you will tell me of something to rid the bed of them WINNIE NJ"
 Undoubtedly they breed in the mattress. Your methods are excellent as far as they go They do not penetrate to the lair of the wretches. Gasoline is the prime enemy of the crimson rambler. Soak the mat tress to the heart with the potent fluid some fine day, and lay it then in the ,hot- test sunshine you can find on a summer morning and afternoon. Let it bake through and through while Nthe gasoline Is evaporating The volatile liquid will kill all larvae and sterilze the eggs laid in the recesses of the mattress and pro- tected by the ticking from beating, brusn- ing and wiping. Have no artificial light near while the good work goes on.
