RID HOME OF PEST
PRACTICAL INFORMATION ON
ERADICATION OF BEDBUGS.
Simple Preparations, Applied With
Diligence, Will Do the Work, Ac-
co"dng to Bulletin of the Bu-
reau of Entomology.

Those who are troubled by bedbugs
will fad practical information as to
how to deal effectively with these pests
in Farmers Bulletin 754, "Bedbugs,"
recently published by the department.
In this bulletin c. L. Marlatt of the
bureau of entomology makes clear the
habits of these insects which have a
bearing on their eradication, and sug-
gests q number of simple household
measures, as well as more radical
methods, of getting rid of them. The
author calls attention especially to
the fact that these insects will migrate
from an unoccupied to an inhabited
house and points out that the fact that
they ordinarily hide in the daytime
makes it necessary to apply the insec-
ticides in cracks in walls and floor and
crevices under wall paper, where the
insects ordinarily are concealed and lay
their eggs. Information as to the
ability of bedbugs to withstand cold
and to go without food for long peri
DDS should be especially useful to those
intending to move into houses long un-
tenanted.
OF the simpler remedies the ento-
mologist says that benzine, kerosene,
or other lighter petroleum oils intro
duced into crevices by means of a
brush or syringe are perhaps the most
efficient. The bulletin also gives di-
rections for fumigation with sulphur or
other chemicals, which will be found
economical and effective in cases of
general infestatiOn.
Those who have been bitten will find
applications of peroxide of hydrogen
useful in allaying irritation. Tincture
of iodine, in it's ordinary or double
strength, is also good counter-irritant
for use in cases of fleas, mosquitoes,
bedbugs, or other insect bites. Iodine,
however, should be used with caution
on the tender skin of small childen and
on those who are affected with or dis.
posed to eczemic disorders.
The bulletin will be supplied free by
the department as long as the supply
lasts

Custard Recipes,

Steamed or baked custard: One pint
milk, one-eighth teaspoonful nutmeg,
two eggs. one-fourth cupful sugar, one
eighth teaspoonful salt.
Mix eggs as for soft custard. Strain
into custard cups and steam until firm
over hot water which is boiling gently.
Another way to cook this custard is
as follows: Strain into custard cups
and place in a pan Of warm water.
Bake in a moderate oven until the
custard is firm. To test a steamed or
baked custard, slip a knife blade to
the bottom of the cup in the center of
the custard and draw without turn
Ing. If the knife is not coated with a
milky substance the custard is firm all
the way through and has cooked
enough. Crate the nutmeg over the
surface of the custard and cool before
serving.

Lake Geneva Water.

For 20 years French engineers have
had in mind plans for bringing to
Paris the inexhaustible water of the
lake Of Geneva, called also Lake Lee
man, on the frontier of France and
Switzerland. This project, which made
considerable noise before the war, has
since been rarely mentioned, and the
reason therefor is said to be due to
the discovery that the blue waters Of
the lake, so beautiful to look upon,
are infested by worms which the
Parisians, now that they have been
instructed, will not willingly tolerate.
If these worms can be successfully dis
posed of the greatest water-carrying
scheme that Europe has ever known
will follow. With this aQueduct of
many leagues on the east and the tun-
mel under the straits of Dover on the
west, also in contemplation, it appears
that French enterprise is not wholly
occupied by the war.

French Game Laws SUSPENDED.

The poor people of France. as well
as the wealthy, are taking advantage
of the privilege recently granted by NJ.
Meline, the minister of agriculture. to
all sportsmen, of high or low degree.
to shoot the wild game that, since the
war, has become superabundant, doing
great damage to crops.
Hares, pheasants and wild ducks
have been the chief offenders. and
these are being killed in great num-
hers. thus not only saving growing
vegetation, but furnishing food for
the people.
It was thought at first that the min
listers instructions included only rich
sportsmen and owners of game pre-
serves, but he made it clear in a sub
sequent statement that, in the inter
est of agriculture. the shooting priv
ilege was extended to everybody in all
departments.

Don't Neglect Kidneys
Swamp-Root. DR.. Kilmer's Prescrip-
ton, Overc0mes Kidney Trouble

II is now conceded by physicians that
the kidneys should have more attention
as they control the other organs to re-
markable degree and do a tremendous
amount of work in removing the poisons
and waste matter from the system by
fltering the blood.
The kidneys should receive some as
sistance when needed. We take less ex-
ercise, drink less water and often eat
more rich, heavy food, thereby forcing
tie kidneys to do more work than nature
intended. Evidence of kidney trouble,
such as lame back, annoying bladder
troubles, smarting or burning, brick
dust or sediment, sallow complexion,
rheumatism, maybe weak or irregular
heart action, warns you that your kid
neys require help Immediately to avoid
more serious trouble.
An ideal herbal compound that has had
most remarkable success as kidney and
bladder remedy is DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root. There is nothing else like it. 1t
is DR.. Kilmer's prescription used in pri-
vate practice and it is sure to benefit you.
Get bottle from your druggist.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper. Adv.

On the Wire.

The president of one of the large
corporations in New York, whose bust
ness is measured in hundreds Of mil
lions of dollars annually, has not
the temper of the angels. The en-
ployees, from the vice to the office
boy, stand in holy dread Of him.
There came one day a new tele-
phone operator. The president want
ed to talk to someone in Washington,
and wanted him quick. He 'got his
party" and was laundering away,
when squ-a-w-k-k-k! Ping! S-s-s-tt /!
and the connection was dished. The
president was near to exploding, when
q competent little voice came up from
the switchboard:
"Well, guess I'm the little girl
who put the mess in the message, amt
I? You just look out of the window.
and I'll fix it in ten seconds"
And she did. And he did. And the
little operator moved up ahead of
the vice in Office estimation, and is still
at her switchboard.

NO WORSE THAN OLD PLAQUES
Doubt Whether InfantiIe Paralysis
Causes More Deaths Than Do
Diarrheal Diseases.

The epidemic of infantile paralysis
in New York shows sign of abating.
Meanwhile, Chicago is almost free
from it, and there is nothing to show
that the few cases in Illinois have any
connection with the epidemic raging in
the East.
Many things combine to make this
the most awe-inspiring visitation that
the metropolis has had in years. The
persistent mystery of it, the high per-
centage of mortality, and the fact that
u large proportion of those who recov-
er must suffer from partial paralysis
the rest of their lives-these things
may well disturb the sleep Of parents.
And yet, the probabilities are that
diarrheal diseases are killing far more
babies in New York even now than is
infantile paralysis, and if the Intestinal
complaints leave no muscular Grip
ping behind, in considerable proper
ton of cases they do leave damaged
constitutions. The old plaques are the
most dangerous ones, after all.-Chi-

USEFUL OVER KITCHEN SINK
inexpensive Medicine Cabinet Will Be
Found Of Value In Number
of Ways.

Get an inexpensive medicine cabi-
net and hang it over the sink. In it
keep securing powders, silver polish,
ammonia, brushes and the things nee
essary for DISTINGUISHING and cleaning
but which are unsightly. Every wom-
an likes to glance into handy mirror
also before she answers unexpected
rings of the bell, so the cabinet serves
two purposes.
A special economic device is to apply
a piece of rubber hose one and one
half inches long to both hot and cold
water faucets in the kitchen sink. This
prevents chance bump against the
metal faucet breaking or chipping
dishes. 1t will save many piece of
china from the unsightly and expen-
sive hicks which so often occur and
are so disliked by good housekeepers.

Make Repairs Now.

This is the time of year when the
housewife should take a survey Of
the many small repairs about the
house which should be attended to
before winter "sets in" 1t might be
we'll to have a repair day when the
handy man takes his time and tools
and finishes these numerous odd jobs.
Perhaps one or two window panes
are out, q cupboard door sticks, or a
lock is out of order. The back steps
that are worn out (and have been
for some time) and are propped up
with a rock or pile of bricks might be
repaired to lessen the danger of acct
dents. Little things "out of order"
are a source of unnecessary worry to
the busy housewife and when repair
ed in "ship-shape" they mean much
in comfort and convenience.-Miria

AGREE TO DISCARD FOOTWEAR
Natives of the Golden State Have
Formed League Which Is Some
what Unconventional.

EIarking back to the days when man
roamed carelessly across green pas
lures unshackled by costly footwear !;
when cool, solid comfort met the ma
ked foot at every step, and when corns
and bunions were unheard of, four
prominent Sacramentans have formed
what is to be known as the Sacra-
mento Barefoot league, says a CORE
spondent.
There are four charter members Of
the league, all residents of Yardley
avenue, and they are DR.. Robert E.
Smith, James Mccullough, L. o. Lum-
ry and Steve Downey.
The league was organized in quite
an unintentional way. Which of the
four was the originator is unknown.
But it is intimated that Doctor Smith,
for several years advocate of the Coat
less Summer league for men, had
something to do with it.
At any rate, the league has had sew
eral meetings. The requirements of
the league are these: No member must
be too modest to display his bare feet.
He must be without pedal covering
in attending meetings. He must be
willing to, and enjoy, walking on his
lawn before the assembled multitude,
including his wife, unshod.
He must be willing to step into his
neighbor's house in his bare feet and
walk across his neighbours hardwood
floors as nonchalantly as though he
were Pithecanthropus in the jungles.
Several meetings Of the league have
been held at the homes Of the various
charter members of Yardley avenue.
The meetings are preceded by cool
walk upon the lawn of the host. AS
the evening becomes cool and members
retire to the hosts drawing room and
are entertained with photograph Sc
lections.
Despite serious objections to the
league on the part of the better halves
in some of the homes, the organization
has grown and is now reaching out for
congenial spirits.
keep cool and comfortable and cure
your corns," is the slogan of the
league.

One Great Truth of Life.

The one great truth to which we all
need to come Is that successful life
lies not in doing this, or going there,
or possessing something else: it lies
in the quality of the daily life. 1t is
just as surely success to be just and
courteous to servants or companions
or the chance conner, as it is to make
a noted speech before an audience, or
write book, or make million dol
lars. 1t is achievement on the spirit.
ual side of things; it is the extension
of our life hereinto the spiritual world
that is, alone, of value. This extension
is achieved, this growth toward high
err things is attained, by our habitual
attitude of mind. 1t develops by truth
and love and goodness; it is stunted
by every envious thought, every un
just or unkind act.-Lilian Whiting.

LAWS HEAVY HAND
BROUGHT ABOUT DOWNFALL OF
MAORI PROPHET"
Slave Who Had Made His Way to
Throne, and Who Claimed Divine
Power, Now a Prisoner in
New Zealand Jail.

Rua, Maori prophet" polygamist
and moonshiner, sometimes called the
Maori mperor"-although unjustifi-
ably, it appears-has been convicted
by jury at Auckland, New Zealand,
upon certain counts, after trial of
extraordinary length. Rua, his pre-
tensions to divine powers, his temple
and stronghold in the wild and almost
inaccessible king country" in north
ern New Zealand; his fight with po-
licemen several months ago, in which
several men were killed or wounded ;
his previous defiance of authority
all this constitutes one of the most
interesting chapters in the history of
New Zealand.
Rua first attracted attention about
ten years ago. He set himself up as
q sort of Messiah in the Urewera dis
trict, which is near the Bay of
Plenty, on the north island of the do
minion. This region, sometimes called
the king country" from old Maori
usage, is a sort of government reserva-
ton. 1t is inhabited by the most prim-
tive of the aboriginals of New Zea-
land.
Rua was slave born, but he broke
Maori tradition by assuming the pre-.
negatives of a chief, and in addition
he mixed with native superstition a
smattering of Christian belief. He
was glib and cunning, and before long
he had a strong hold upon the minds
of the untutored members Of his race.
At Maungapohatu, a native hamlet
in the center of the king country"
he posed as a savior, and he was at
tended by a bodyguard. Here, al
though by birth a slave, and, there
fore, entitled to but one wife, he took
unto himself spouses variously esti-
mated at from nine to fourteen, and
he had built circular temple of con-
siderable ingenuity Of design and con-
struction, for the Maoris are good ar
chitects. In a cupola of this structure
he professed to communicate with the
Almighty, and below him customarily
sat dozen Maoris, called after the
twelve apostles.
1t was "sly grog" selling or moon
shining which got the prophet" into
trouble. To make liquor on ones
premises without permission and then
sell it to natives is against the law,
and when Rua was convicted of hav-
ing done this he had to serve a Jail
sentence. Several indictments upon
the same score were hanging over his
head when he was released and re-
turned to Maungapohatu, but upon
his being summoned to answer to
them he defied the authorities.
Finally strong force of police was
sent to Maungapohatu. Rua and his
henchmen put up desperate fight.
Two Maoris were killed, and q num-
Der were wounded in the rifle fire, and
four policemen were wounded. Rua.
after a resistance with teeth, fists and
feet, was captured.
Rua's trial occupied AZ days. He
was convicted of resisting the police,
but was acquitted of having used Sc
ditious language. On two other counts
the jury disagreed.
