Killing Vermin in House

Killing Vermin in House
Those contemplating moving
into new house, and especially
those about to rcoccupy country
homes or rent summer cottages
which may harbor vermin, would
do well before they actually oc,
cupy these houses to consider
fumigation with hydro-cvanic.
acid gas to eradicate bcdbugs
and other pests, This gas, as well
as the sodium cyanid from which
it is made, however, is one of
the most poisonous substances
known, and the inhalation of Il
few breaths OF the gas will result
in death unless the victim be
promptly rescued. For this rea-
son, those contemplating its use
should first read carefully Far
mers' Bulletin No. 500, HYDRO
cyanic-acid Gas Against House
hold Insects, recently issued by.
the department. This bulletin,
by l.. O. Howard and CHI. Pope
noe, described in detail the man.
ner in whicl, the gas is manu-
factured and used and the pre-.
cautions which must be taken
to avoid accident.
Hydrocyanic-acid gas, however,
is one of the most eficacious
agents in ridding household OF
such pests as bedbugs, heas,
cock-roaches, ants, CLOTHES, moths,
etc. Rats and mice, when ex-
posed to its fumes, run out of
their holes and die there. There
is thus no subsequent annoyance
from dead rodents in the walls
and under floors.

WISE HOSTESS Won Her Guests to Postum.

Three great coffee drinkers were my old school friend and her two daughters.
 They were always complaining and taking medicine. I determined to give them Postum instead of coffee when they visited me, so without saying anything to them about it, I made a big pot of Postum the first morning.
 Before the meal was half over, each one passed up her cup to be re- filled, remarking how fine the coffee was. The mother asked for a third cup and inquired as to the brand of coffee I used. I didn't answer her question just then, for heard her say a while before that she didn't like Pos tum unless it was more than half coffee.
 After breakfast I told her that the coffee she liked so well at breakfast was pure Postum, and the reason she liked it was because it was properly made.
 T have been brought up from a nervous, wretched invalid, to a fine condition of physical health by leav- ing off coffee and using Postum.
 T am doing all can to help the world from coffee slavery to Postum freedom, and have earned the grati- tude of many, many friends" Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich.
 Postum comes in two forms:
 Postum Cereal-the original form must be well boiled. 15c and 25c pkgs.
 Instant Postum-a soluble powder dissolves quickly in cup of hot wa ter, and, with cream and sugar, makes a delicious beverage instantly. soc and soc tins.
 Both forms are equally delicious and cost about the same per cup.

 Say, mate, can you smoke in here?" he inquired, when he had made himself as comfortable as he could.
 ''No," briefly replied his neighbor.
 A few minutes efterward Jack saw others smoking, and, looking about, discovered that there were no prohibi- tory notices on the walls, so again ad- dressed the quiet one:
 T thought you said you couldn't smoke in here?"
 T did not say you couldn not smoke here. I said couldn't, for-here he jerked his thumb towards the woman on his far side, and whispered my mother won't let me-"

Care of the Piano.

Half the pianos of this country catch winter colds exactly as we do. They get hoarse or have cough or stiff note or some similar complaint, which cannot be cured by home remedies, but which requires tedious and expen- sive doctoring. In order to prevent these avoidable ailments a piano should be kept in moderately warm room, where the temperature is even, say 60 or 70 degrees, the year round not cold one day and hot the next. The instrument should not, however, be too near the source of heat. IE should be kept closed and covered with a felt cloth when not in use, particularly in frosty weather. Always place the piano close to but not against an inside wall.

 All through his delirium Ralston was faintly conscious of a woman's face bending over him, with look of compassion that transfgured it. Again and again, as he came weakly back from the fog of delirium into conscious ness, he would realize her presence and feel the cool hand on his burning forehead.
 When at last he opened his eyes to the realization of his position he saw that the face had been largely the figment of his dreams. It was pleas ant, motherly face, the face of a wom- an of thirty-five. perhaps; but 1t was not the face he had imagined.
 Are you feeling better?" asked a soft voice.
 Ralston tried to answer, but he was too weak to speak. And, lying there, he began to remember the circum- stances of the accident.
 He had gone West three years be- fore to take up the homestead miles away from the city, nursing in his heart the remembrance of the girl who had tilted him and ruined his life. He had abandoned everything, his friends, his interests. Gradually

STOP EATING MEAT IF

Take Glass of Salts to Clean Kid. neys If Bladder Bothers You
 Meat Forms Uric Acid.

Eating meat regularly eventually produces kidney trouble in some form or other, says a well-known authority, because the uric acid in meat excites the kidneys, they become overworked; get sluggish; clog up and cause all sorts of distress, particularly backache and misery in the kidney region; rheu- matic twinges. severe headaches, acid stomach, constipation, torpid liver, sleeplessness, bladder and urinary ir- ritation.
 The moment your back hurts or kid neys aren't acting right, or if bladder bothers you, get about four ounces of lad Salts from any good pharmacy; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, com bined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush clogged kid neys and stimulate them to normal activity; also to neutralize the acids in the urine so it no longer irritates. thus ending bladder disorders.
 lad Salts cannot injure anyone; makes delightful effervescent lithia. water drink which millions of men and women take now and then to keep the kidneys and urinary organs clean, thus avoiding serious kidney disease.-Adv.

His Horse Stumbled and Threw Him

the charm of the peaceful country had nature had healing balm for his wounded heart.
 He had known that Mrs. Symon, a widow of culture, had taken up the homestead adjacent after her hus- bands death, preferring the solitary life in the wilds to struggle in a city; but he had not chosen to see any woman, and on the rare occasions when he saw her, as he rode past on his way to the post, he only raised his hat and turned his face away.
 So he had lived three years, alone, save for the occasional visit of a neighbor, or the appearance of some wanderer at his sod cabin. He passed for a morose man, as, indeed, he was. Nobody intruded on his life. Each man had his own interests in that wild region.
 He had been riding to the post, ten miles away, when his horse stumbled and threw him. He had sustained in- ternal injuries, but no bones were broken. The worst thing was a severe concussion of the brain, and for three weeks he had been semiconscious, iv- ing in a world of delirium.
 It was odd that in the place of the woman who, till then, had occupied his heart, he should have pictured that face that bent compassionately above him. The force of the delusion had gripped his heart; now, on awak- ening, he was almost glad to find that it was dream; and yet he knew that the image persisted. It was ex- traordinary that he should have im- agined what could never be in the face of Mrs. Symon.
 For days he lay there, gradually recovering his strength. It amazed him that anyone should be so kind. Ralston was thirty and Mrs. Symon Tot too old for his expressions of grat- itude to bring a warm flush to her face.
 Gradually the motherly attitude seemed to vanish. In place of it was a very womanly sympathy, certain equality that set Ralston thinking hard.
 After all, man could not live alone forever. And this woman was very kind, kinder than any he had ever known. She would assuage his lone liness, and something told him that she was not indifferent to him.
 During the days of his convalescence he told her much about his past, and what he did not tell her she surmised. It was only when he approached the suhiocf which had hep,1n fo n0sSeSs his thoughts that she nervously checked him.
 Do you know how old I am, MT. Ralston?" she asked, with laugh of embarrassment. Forty
 1t did check him, as it was meant to do, but only because he meant to make no error this time. A wife ten ears his senior! Well, such things lad been. He resolved that he would .Gk her.

Yet, with her woman's Intuition, she

Yet, with her woman's Intuition, she postponed the matter until Ralstoh was convalescent, till he was able to hobble about the house. Yet each knew that the other was acting part, and that it was only a matter of time until the words were spoken.
 Did you know that I had a daugh- ter?" she asked him one day
 "A daughter!" unused Ralston. He had not thought of that Somehow, it seemed impossible-this sweet-faced, youngish woman, with a child.
 "She has been living in the city until l could make a home for her." continued Mrs. Symon. "She has been here once or twice, and she is com ing to live with me next week" She laid her hand on his arm. q want you to wait till you have seen her." she continued.
 Ostensibly the words meant that Ralston was to postpone his departure until Lillian had come; but, actually, he knew they meant that until then nothing was to be said of marriage.
 Yet it was with difficulty that he could restrain himself, for his love had again given Mrs. Symon the as- poets of the woman in his dream, and he felt that he could with her attain that peace of soul which he had lost.
 Lillian is coming tomorrow" Mrs. Symon said one day. Will you take the horse to the depot and meet herr"
 And you?"
 "Oh, I shall not have time if I am to get things in order for her." an- swered Mrs. Symon with @ little laugh.
 Ralston drove to the depot, and presently a fresh-faced young girl got down from the train and glanced about her. Ralston went up and stood girl of his vision. So she had been there, had seen him while he lay in his delirium!
 She knew him, too; she put out her hand, and mechanically he clasped it. He helped her into the carriage and they whirled away. And though not a word had been spoken Ralston felt his heart leap up with ecstacy. She was his! He blessed his stars that noth- ing had been said to the mother. She knew-Lilian knew. He felt that with perfect instinct. They were born for each other, each was destined for the other.
 And the mother was forgotten, and two young people drove along ab- sorbed in one another. Their glances, at first shy, became more ardent. Ralston put out his hand and closed it on the girls warm fingers.
 Do you understand" he stam mered.
 She nodded shyly.
 Tt was you, then, whom I saw in my dreams?"
 She nodded again. And suddenly he drew her to him and pressed his lips to hers. And all pretense seemed ludicrously absurd in the face of this elemental and overmastering passion that had sprung up between them. In silence they drove the last stage of the journey. When at last they stopped before the cabin they de- scended like people in a dream. Mrs. Symon was sitting in front of the door; she had seen and interpreted the look upon each face. AS they went in she said in low voice:
 Are you not glad that told you to wait?"
 "Yes, am glad," he answered help lessly. Then, with a sudden pity:
 And you? And you?"
 "Oh, I?" she asked, with shrug of her shoulders. q have had my day, you know. Besides, am the mother"
