There is still another Indictment,
against the centipede to which he ],
has pleaded guilty. He is hideous

self.
Tie reason the centtpcde some
times hides in the cracks OF wood
en- beds is because 1t is an excellent
place: to make lfricasse OF. bed bug
and he can find his prey In such
places. If the bedbugs are not al
lowed to flourish around the beds
n and il the cracks are filed with
putty and painted over there will be
no centipedes around.
One more point Is made By the
/ entomologists. IL all moist places
are kept free. from such objects as
flower pots. nlops, dirty. rags and
similar things behind which the
centipedc can hide. he will aban-
don the place. The centipede will
not live In a place where he cannot
hide. The same thing is true of
the cockroach.. The fly will ltyesin4

young unless he has "a crack or d
pile Of trash IN which to raise them.
Therefore, "a clean house has no
need for centipedes and can get

The head of the demon fly killer
is SO loosely fixed on IFS long neck
that it can dart from side to side
with the head. Its prominent eyes
are placed SO the animal can see al
around. It is as quick as lightning
and can sweep flies into its mouth
with great alacrity.
The demon fly Killer Also kills the
crickets and srasshoppers. II is a
demon in several senses. The fe-

the offspring OF the union are born.

only her white shoes and ankles dis

Dancing had already begun, Leslie
passed them. her waist enriched by
the arm of the subaltern. whose ador-
ing expression did not escape Victor.
His eyes followed her little wistfully.
She made q charming figure in q pref
ty scene Oswald came rushing up.
I've been hunting for You every
where. Mrs. Melas," he began breath
less1y. Il want my first dance to be
with you. Where's your programme?
Mrs. Melas turned coldly from him
to Victor. You have my programme" !"
she said.
Victor handed the card to the other
man, who scanned it eagerly. His
brow contracted into frown. Against
every number the initials V. S. were
scrawled.
''Pm too late, see." he said, with
sneer; he bowed frigidly. Il congrat-
ulate you, Steele" He walked stiffly
away.
Mrs Melas burst out laughing.
Didn't he look wild? He's gone on
me, as we used to say. Fancy. his
wife's ever so much prettier! What do
you Think" She clutched Victor's arm
affectionately
They sat down where he had sur
prised her with Oswald that afternoon.
They lit cigarettes and looked at the
sea- "That should be Elba," remark
ed Victor awkwardly, indicating a
light that flashed at intervals through
the blue darkness.
Bother Elba!" calculated Jenny.
She laid her head on his shoulder.
'1 like you, you know" she murmur'
ed.
Il dare say l saw you with Var
ney this afternoon, remember"
Victor's ear caught the sound OF a
quick football He knew that two per-
sons halted Immediately behind the
hatchway He turned to Jenny and
asked her very distinctly: Honestly
now, do you care at all about Var
ney?"
"Varney amuses me, but I am real

/ Listening tensely, he heard sound
close at hand like faint gasp. The
moment after Leslie, on the arm OF
the subaltern, swept past the two

see her face. Surprised, he perceived
that her expression was not one OF
relief, but of acute pain.

Great Demand for New
Constipation Remedy

They say that the advent Of the "senta-
mel tablet" as a vegetable substitute for
calomel has resulted in an extraordinary
demand for this remarkable product It
seems to have made q hit particularly
with those afflicted with chronic consti-
patton, who were quick to recognize its
advantages over calomel and the usual
laxatives
Sentanel tablets, aside from their en-
cacy. doubtless owe their success largely
to a tendency to aid in bringing about
natural functioning-instead Of encour-
aging the "cathartic habit" Also. instead
Of injuring the menlbraneous lining Of
the organs involved, they exert healing
inf11ence. Instead Of weakening. they
add tone to the intestinal wall. And they
work SO easily and gently. they are Of
course preferred on this account to the
violently acting purgatives. Their mex
pensiveness is another reason for the
popularity Of sentanel tablets. One need
procure only dimes worth. and take
one tablet upon retiring. to be convinced
that the ideal remedy for constipation.

quences, has finally been found-Drux-

her face toward him, flashed her
lightning, drew down the corners of
her thin lips demurely. and abruptly
averted her gaze again, leaving the
man for second disconnected. 1t was
all very prettily done.
Oswald made quick movement to
kiss her, but laughingly she ducked
and his mustache merely brushed the
peroxide on her hair.
Victor deliberately stumbled against
chair, and so announced his ap-
proach. The pair looked up at him
with absolute composure.

Mrs. Melas, gathering her skirt round
her slim ankles, and making a place
for him on the pile of cordage on
which she was seated. With sulky

his appearance.

"You hear that, Vicklekins?" Mrs.
Melas turned toward her old friend
"Forlorn widow though l am, some
one still thinks the heart you spurn
worth winning"
! In gutteral Arabic Victor requested
the lady not to make herself fool

up. Leslie was balancing herself back

Garfield Notes

Pupils who expect to enter Garfield
from any other than the public schools
of the city are requested to call at the
school building before Saturday of
this week to arrange for their classi-
fication and work. BY doing this they
will receive more careful attention
than will be possible if they wait till
the opening day. The programs for pu-
pills promoted from the different ward
schools of the city have been prepar-
ed, and also the programs for pupils
already in the school. In case work
has been made up or any change is
desired the pupils should by all means
come for re-adjustment of program
before Saturday.
There will be but few changes in
either the work or the faculty of the
school for this year. Mr.. Oscar Glenny
will fill the place made vacant by the
transfer of Mr.. Edwards to the high
schools: Mr.. Kirk Mckinney, Earl
ham 1915, will assist in English and
History; Mr.. w. B. Miller, Bradley
Polytechnic, will have charge of the
drawing for the boys of the school.
The lunch room will not open for
two or three weeks; the classes in
this department will be busy canning
fruit and vegetables for use during
the year. Three classes of girls will
work in preparing the lunches this
term.
The forenoon of the opening day
will be spent in arranging programs,
securing texts, and other steps in
preparation for active work Regular
recitations for the full school will be-
gin promptly at the opening of the af-
ternoon session.

The Skydome viii offer today to its
patrons distinct novelty. namely.
the Charlie Chaplin Comedy Carnival
company. This attraction has played
in some Of the principle theatres in
Indiana, and has proven such a great
success. judging from the way this at
traction draws. the management has
added few more seats, and even
then 1t bids fair to state that standing
room will be at premium. In con-
nection with the above mentioned
show, the management has arranged
to show the Chicago Speedway Derby.
