COMMON SENSE


RATS and MICE are not only very
destructive pests, but they r also
very filthy and dangerous animals.
Scientific research has shown that
the fieas to be found on rats and mice
are carriers Of various kinds Of disease
and when you get rid Of the rat you
get rid Of the flea and when you get
rid Of the flea you reduce the chances
Of disease spreading. It Is therefore
good ems and good business to de-
stroy the filthy rodents. The easy way
the sensible way-the quick way
the SURE way-is to feed them on

- Child Lifa In Africa.

Child life in Africa has few pleasures and many sorrows and Is in a state of constant reversal and change. From the time of boys birth until he has gone through the devil bush" he is little thought of. but as soon as he has passed through its terrible ordeals and practices he is regarded as II man and an asset in the native community. With girl 1t is different. It is very hard to procure girls for the mission stations because they are considered specially valuable as workers and pos sible money bringers until the period arrives for them to enter and pass through the "gree-gree" bush ordeal. Then they arc regarded as women and eligible for marriage, and their indus trial value decreases. Still, if they rear large families. their market value keeps mp in measure. for in certain sections of Africa tribal custom per mits a man 10 sell. loan or rent out his wives or keep them in household slavery or give them their freedom. Freedom is conferred by presenting the wife with the long tooth of a leopard, which indicates that she is no longer slave. but q free woman. not di- vorced wife.-Chrlstian Herald.

A Barnard shnw Criticism.

Before fame came to him Bernard Shaw wrote dramatic criticisms for the London Saturday Review. The follow ing sample Is characteristic Of the man;
 "I am in a somewhat foolish position concerning play at the Opera .Co- mique. whither I was biGden this day week For some reason I was not supplied with program, 50 that ! never learned the name of the play. At the end of the second act the play had advanced about as far ns an ordi- nary dramatist would have brought it five minutes after the first rising If the curtain or, say, as far as Ibsen would have brought it ten years before that event. Taking advantage of the sec ond interval to stroll out into the Strand for a little exercise, I unfortu- nately forgot all about my business and actually reached home before it occurred to me that I had not seen the end of the play. Under these cir cumstances it would III become me to dogmatize on the merits of the work or its performance. can only offer the management my apologies"

PRESIDENT IS ACTIVE
 ON RIGGS BANK CASE
No Fear Charges Will Work
 Injury to Administration.

It was learned in Washington that take a personal interest in the case brought against William G. McAdoo, secretary of the treasury; John Skelton Williams. comptroller of the currency, and John Burke. treasurer of the Unit ed States. by the Riggs National bank. which charges that the government off cials attempted to wreck that institu- tion to satisfy personal malice.
 President Wilson also is taking notice of the political phases of the matter, it Is said, and has held conferences with Attorney General Gregory. Post master General Burleson and Louis D. Brandeis, chief of the governments battery of counsel. It is said the presi- dent wished to discuss several prob lems. and also wanted to see that the officials had ample legal assistance.
 Treasury officials asserted emphatic ally that the postponement to May 12 was due to legal contingencies and not to any desire to permit Mir McAdoo to regain his health and enter actively into the defense.
 Papers in the suit of the Riggs Ma. tional bank against officials of the United States treasury to enjoin them from interfering unIawfully in the af- fairs of the bank were served on Act ing Secretary Newton. John Skelton Williams, comptroller of the currency, and United States Treasurer Burke.
 Washington bankers regarded the ac- tion of the Riggs bank. one of the most powerful financial institutions of the capital, as the opening of a great strug gle between Mir. McAdoo and Mir. VII Hams on one side. and the Riggs and allied bankers on the other.

JURY IN I. R. BARNES
 CASE IS COMPLETED
Seven Republicans and ThrCa
 PrOgreSSiveS In Box.

The jury to try the so called ''politi- cal life or death case" in the $50 O"O libel suit brought by William Barnes Jr., against Colonel Theodore Roosevelt before Justice William s. Andrews in the supreme court in Syracuse. N. Y. was completed. It consists of seven Republicans, two Democrats and three Progressives.
 When Charles J. Clarke. clerk of part 1 of the supreme court. called this case for trial before Justice Will liam S. Andrews a lawsuit without precedent in the United States and one that is expected to make political his tory for the entire country was started
 William Barnes. chairman of the Re publican national committee. seeks to collect $50,0OO from Theodore RoOse welt, former president of the United States, for alleged libel on July 22. 1914.
 Colonel Roosevelt charged MT. Barnes with being an agency in the manipula ton of political affairs of the state Of New York and in response to protest asserts he can prove every charge he makes. The jury will have to say whether or not the colonel has made good.
 When Charles B. Hughes was gov ernor his greatest fight was on the d. rect primary issue. Legislatures of his own party twice defeated this pet measure, even though he toured the state seeking support for the bill. Colo, nel Roosevelt in the statement upon which the libel suit is based charged MT. Barnes acted in unison with Charles F. Murphy to defeat the bills.
 If the rulings of Justice Andrews on points of evidence are such that all the charges set forth in the bill of partic- ulars and the answer can be given a hearing it is probable that the trial will last much longer than two weeks. the first estimate.

Burial With Military Honors.

After battle the dead are buried with military honors." These in times of peace are both impressive and elab- crate. but in time of war they are much curtailed. The principal fea- lures are the playing by muflled drums of the dead march, the resting on the arms reversed by the troops engaged and the final firing into the mir over the grave of three blank yolleys. The number of volleys Is always the same, but the number of men comprising the firing party increases with the rank of the deceased. A mutiled drum is n drum the cords of which have been loosened so as to slacken the parchment head and cause 1t to give forth on be- ing struck a dull, muflled sound.-Jon- don Scraps.

IpfnIIanfuaI ffe.

People without intellectual life are virtually under condemnation to hard labor. Unless their thoughts can give them wholesome occupation they must find it for their hands. Otherwise they cannot live well and must expect de- terioration. But. unluckily for lazy people, the achievement of n good grade of intellectual life involves about as much work as anything else. Life without effort seems not to have been intended. The original plan was to have 1t end by starvation and, though people nowadays get around that, they cannot altogether defeat the original intention.-Life.
