the pockets of the tax payers of

honor him and remember him
as a friend. This is the pay
Evans wants and will get.

are good, but there is always

There are two forms of
poison used for killing the pota-
to bug" says Prof. Conradi.

used. ArSenate OF lead is pur

Same way as arSenate of lead,
except that The rate is If lb. of

For the small family garden,
says the entomologisl, arsenatse
of lead powder is used at the
rate Of a heaping teaspoonful to
a pail of water, Paris green, at
the rate Of a level teaspoonful to
