Red Ant Killer.

Did you ever hear Of a house
hold that didn't have an ant rem
edy? How many of these Same
households are not looking for
remedy that will really work? l.
Haseman Of the Missouri Agricul
tural Experiment Station has beer
| giving special attention to the lit
tie red ant that usually causes
more trouble than any other and
has been able to kill it with the
syrup made from half pound OF
sugar and a fortieth Of an ounce
of sodium arsenite. The syrup
should be made in a double boiler
because if it is scorched the ants
will not eat it and the poison must
be carefully weighed by the drug
gist and no more than this must be
added for two reasons. % 1t is
a deadly poison and will be more
likely to be dangerous to animals
or persons who get it by mistake
if less diluted. ~ If any more
of it IS used, the ants detect the
taste and will not eat it.
Professor Haseman says that the
ant has a very keen sense OF taste
and is a most contrary creature re-
fusing to eat many Of the things
usually used in trying to get rid Of
him. In fact he finds that the lit
tie red nuisance eats this arsenic
syrup better if it is put on .sponges
rags or plotting paper SO it is
seemingly harder to get than if in
an open dish. If the soaked
'sponges or rags are put into tin
cans or glass jars closed up ex-
cept for q little crack as though
put away to avoid the ants they
seem to make special search for it
and pass by open dishes Of it in
favor of the closed vessel.
Professor Haseman recommends
this poison especially for the lit
Tie red ants and says that the real
way to get rid Of any kind of ants
whose nests can be found is to de-
stroy the entire colony with boil
ing water or by pouring on car
bon bisulphide which will choke
or suffocate them if placed so that
its poison gas can settle down in
to the nest. :,

N. q. DOCTOR ADVISES ON
SUMMER LIVING.
Eat Clean, Wholesome Food and
Don't Worry, Says N. P.
Ravenel.

ASVVAAVAs ..st4l
For the preservation of health
and production of efficiency, man
needs a mixed diet. There are cer-
tain food principles which are es-
sential, says DR.. M. P. Ravenel Of
the department Of preventive med
icine Of the University Of Missouri
at Columbia
First, the proteins, whose prin-
cipal function is the building up
OF, tissue, replacing wear and tear.
They are found in meats, eggs,
milk and certain vegetables, like
beans. peas, lentils and nuts.
Second, the carbohydrates,
whose function is chiefly to pro-
vide fuel and energy. They are
found in two of the ordinarily
used food stuffs-the starches
such as bread, cereals, rice, po-
tatoes, ETC.; and the sugars, which
are found in the juices of various
plants, IN money, etc.
Third, fats, whose function is
chiefly to furnish fuel. The chief
sources of fats are cream, the fat
of meats, many nuts, etc.
Fourth, the minerals and or
ganic acids, which are essential to
the body. These are found in
many vegetables and certain other
foods, particularly in milk and the
yolk of eggs.
Certain other principles have
been discovered in recent years,
among the chief of which are sub
stances called vitamins. These are
absolutely essential to well-being.
They are found in fresh food of all
kinds, like meats. yolk of eggs,
peas, beans, various vegetables
and fruits. They are destroyed by
some of our methods Of prepara-
ton of food. For example, steri-
lized milk and sterilized canned
foods are in large part deprived OF
these vitamins. We can also take
them away from vegetables, like
rice, by a high degree Of polish
ing, which has been largely prac-
ticed.
Babies fed on sterilized milk
sometime develop scurvy. This
can be prevented by feeding a
tablespoonful of orange juice once
a day.
People should not worry too
much about their eating. If the
foods are clean, fresh and we'll pre-
pared, the average person gets a
fairly we'll balanced ration.
In people inclined to overweight
or those who lead sedentary lives,
the fats, starches and sugars
should be reduced, and fruit and
vegetables increased. Those who
are underweight, or are engaged
in heavy muscular labor, should
increase the starches, fats and
sugars.

Hetty Green Pays Taxes.

Hetty Green is the largest indi-
vidnal taxpayer in the town of
Rockingham. The town listers
have just finished their work and
have assessed her on a valuation
of $4,000. OF this, $4,000 is
for her home and the remaining
100000 is personal property.
By paying her taxes there on that
amount the richest woman in the
world retains her residence aud
escapes taxation in New York

The Missouri State Poultry Exper-
iment Station and Its Work.

The Missouri State Poultry Elk
pertinent Station located at Noun
tain Grove, Mo, was established
for the purpose of finding out the
things about poultry we don't
know, then giving this informa-
ton to the public through the
press, in bulletins, lectures, CORE
spondence, etc.
The work of the Station is to
conduct experiments, make tests,
observations, etc, for the benefit
of the residents of Missouri. The
establishment of this Station is a
point of economy as is the case
with all experiment stations. For
example, if 5000 people want to
know the results of some one ex-
pertinent, it is more economical
and more satisfactory to have it
done where they have proper
equipment and where people de-
vote their entire time to the work,
than for each of the 5000 individ-
uals to conduct the experiment
separately, for this would mean
5000 separate experiments which
would be very expensive in many
cases, and the results would not
be as dependable as where men de-
vote their entire time to conduct
ing the experiments.
Missouri is perhaps as liberal as
any other state in the support OF
it's Poultry Experiment Station,
yet one egg per year at market
price for each person in Missouri
will more than support the insti-
tuition. Every resident of Missou-
ri not only has the right, but is
cordially invited to send his
poultry problems here for solu-
ton. If there is any question con-
corning poultry you would like to
have answered if there is any ex-
pertinent you would like to see
conducted, write it out and send it
to the Poultry Experiment Sta
ton. We may not be able to an
swer your question at once, but
are just as glad to get a question
we cannot answer as to get one
we can answer for that gives us,
to work on. 1t is not
necessary for the question to be
some deep problem under some big
name for some Of the small prob
lems are just as interesting and in
For example, the ques-
ton was asked how to boil an egg

found that an egg less than forty
eight hours old would not peel

eight hours old would peel nice

the MORAL COURAGE O
Editorial in Duluth Herald

Editorial in Duluth Herald
The success Of the prepared
ness campaign is in large part
due to the fact that the propon-
ents Of excessive preparedness"
have bluffed down it's opponents.
They have, by bullying, made
many people believe that there is
something unpatriotic, milk-and
watery. spineless, molly-coddlish,
cowardly, about opposing too
much preparedness.
Pretty soon though the opposi-
ton will catch its second wind and
realize that this is not so.
1t is not cowardly, but brave, to
fight against militarising a peace
full republic.
1t takes more courage to stand
out for common sense and sanity
than to turn and follow the cur
rent, pretending acquiescence a.
gainst innate conviction.
A good deal of the ultra-pre-
paredness talk is deliberately pro-
pagated for political purposes by
politicians, and for the profit by
men with munition to sell. A
good deal of it is mistaken for
patriotism. A deal Of it is cheap
braggadocio. None of it has any
relation to the sensible prepared
ness which the vast majority of
citizens approve.
1t is not only perfectly respect
able to oppose excessive militar-
ism, but noble.
1t is no better for a nation to
rely on guns to do it's talking
though to certain crude and cas-
ly swayed minds it seems manly
and brave to think so-than it is
for a man to rely on brass knuck-
les to do talking for him.
The only man who needs brass
knuckles is the man whose case
is bad.
The only nation that needs
world-conquering armament is
the nation whose aims inimical to
civilization.
