DRIVING AWAY DEMONS
ANCIENT CEREMONY RECENTLY
 HELD IN JAPAN.
Superstition Dying Slowly in the En- hire of the Mikado-Has Been an Annual Custom for Twelve
 Hundred Years.

Ceremonies were held recently throughout the Japanese empire-ln household, shrine and temple-to drive away the demons of ill-fortune. The date corresponds to the old Chinese New Year, marking the transition from winter to spring under the ancient cal endar.
 Tradition long observed in Japan holds the demons of i'll luck may be kept away during the year by pelting them with hard beans and by hanging outside the door a branch of holly hook and the head of a herring. The idea is that the herring, whose odor is distasteful to the demon, will keep the evil one from entering the house, and that if he succeeds in entering he will be blinded by the beans. Each member of the household takes as many beans as he has years, and throws them in all directions and ip all the rooms of his house.
 It was about 1,200 years ago, dur ing the reign of the Emperor Monbu that the first ceremony of demon re- moving was held in Japan. Adopting the rite from China, the emperor in- corporated it with the object of stamp ing out an epidemic that ragged throughout the land.
 The recent modern celebration was like this: Toward evening house. wives become busy preparing for the celebration; beans are cracking in kettles and feasts are prepared for the family god and the family. Mean while the husbands clean the shrine, light the sacred lights and burn in- cense, while awaiting the beans and the feast.
 Parched beans are offered in a wood en box to the family god, and the fam ly clap their hands and reverently bow before the shrine. Then the master carrying the box of beans, starts round his house, followed by his children to pelt out the demons of misfortune. When he throws beans toward the di- rection of the god of good fortune he cries out: Come in, fortune!" and when he belts toward the other direc- tion he shouts: Go out, demons," Children gather the scattered beans and vie with each other in seeing who gets most
 There is superstition regarding the word bean" which may explain why it plays such part in the cere-
 
 name" and name" means health" Therefore the bean is the emblem of good fortune.

| MUSIC SOOTHES THE HORSES
Undertaken Places a Piano In the Stable of His Establishment
 in Waukesha.

Milwaukee.-Ray Biggs has placed a piano in the stable back of his un- dertaking establishment at Waukesha for the sole accommodation of his horses.
 MT Biggs said, when he read a few months ago about photograph being used in a chicken coop to make chick ems lay, he discredited the report, but now he has been convinced that music has soothing effect on animals.
 One of the men employed at the stable plays the piano proficiently and he verified Mir. Biggs statement that when the horses came in from fu- neral procession, with their nerves at high tension, they immediately be- come calm and complacent when they hear the soothing strains of a popular waltz.
 MT. Biggs says he is thinking of placing musical instrument in the stable on his farm northwest of the city, with the belief that it may have some effect on his COWS when the milk. ing hour approaches.

Use of Hydrocyanic Acid Gas Ex- pIained by Uncle Sans
 Experts.
IS DEADLY IF MISHANDLED
Those About to Move Into Country Homes, Rent Cottages or City Houses Are Given Excellent
 Method of Fumigating.

Washington.-Tho contemplating moving into a new house and especial ly those about to reoccupy country homes or rent summer cottages which may harbor vermin would do well, be- fore they actually occupy these houses, to consider fumigating with hydrocyanic-acid gas to eradicate bed bugs and other pests. This gas, as well as the sodium cyanide from which it Is made, however, is one of the most poisonous substances known and the inhalation of a few breaths Of the gas will result in death unless the victim be promptly rescued. For this reason those contemplating its use should first read carefully Farm CTS Bulletin 699, Hydrocyanic-Acid Gas Against Household Insects, re- gently issued by the department This bulletin, by l.. o, Howard and c. H. Popence, describes in detail the man. ner in which the gas is manufactured and used and the precautions which must be taken to avoid accident.
 Hydrocyanic-acid gas. however, is one of the most efficacious agents in ridding households of such pests as bedbugs. fleas, cockroaches, ants, clothes moths, etc. Rats and mice, when exposed to it's fumes, run out of their holes into the open and die there. There Is thus no subsequent annoyance from dead rodents in the walls and under flooring
 Even when only one room of a house is to be fumigated, the bulletin says, the entire house must be vacat- ed and so closed and marked with signs that everyone is kept out The windows in such a house must be equipped with ropes so that they can be opened from the outside when the fumigation Is done. If the house is close to another, especially if it's win dows are below those in an adjoining house, care must be taken to protect neighbors. This is especially neces- sary in the case of house in a row, particularly if the partitions separat- ing houses are not tight or if it's at tic or roof air space communicates with those in the neighboring houses. For these reasons, in the case of sum- mer cottages at beaches, it Is safest and easiest to fumigate before the family or neighbors have moved in, when there is plenty of time to air the house completely after 1t has been treated.

MEANS CERTAIN DEATH TO VERMIN
NAVARRE AIR HERO AT 20

Paris.-Scarcely had the official communiques revealed the existence of Guynemer when they were com pelled to make known the exploits of Jean Navarro, adjutant aviator, who had brought down six German aero planes without counting several that had fallen within their own lines
 Jean Navarro is only twenty and within year has won the War Cross, military medal and Legion of Honor, not to mention collection of punish ments for loopings, acrobatic feats and such like performed at moments when the authorities considered them unnecessary. Jean has a twin brother, Pierre, full of ambition to follow in his footsteps. The family lives at Lyons, where their mother has, of course, been interviewed since Jean became famous.
 Their great amusement was to stretch wire between two factory chimneys," she said and give a tight rope performance, 60 feet above the ground. Pierre was twice found unfit for military service, as not being heavy enough or broad enough in the chest"
