be kept scrupulously clean, While the
kitchen closets should be thoroughly

Bedbugs.- The presence of bedbugs
does not always reflect upon the house

carefully kept homes. \ good way TO
destroy them is to spray their hiding
places with solution of corrosive SUD-

This substance is poisonous and should
be so marked Gasoline is one OF the
most efficient agents used in the eXter-
mination of the bedbug and should be
SPRAYED freely in cracks and crevices
with machine oil can. Turpentlne
and kerosene are less efficient and leave
oily stains after their use.
Motbs.-These are very destructive

Furs and woolens are particularly sus-

Thoroughly brush and clean the clothes
before they are put away for the sum-
mer. Pack them in large paper bags
or boxes. which should be made air
tight by sealing the edges with strips
of paper. Wardrobes should be free
OF dust and thoroughly cleaned. Naph-
tbalene or tar balls should be freely
distributed in trunks, in closets and in
the pockets Of clothes. It Is also
good plan to unpack these clothes oc-
casionally during the summer and give
them an adequate airing in the sun.
Fles.-Keep the garbage pail covered
tightly Fly paper freely distributed
will be great help in destroying them.
A solution Of potassium bichromate
zone teaspoonful to two ounces of sug-
ared water or a few drops of formalin
in sweetened water will kill flies when

Chinese Player Gets

Although there have been Chinese
ball clubs on the coast. in Hawaii and
the Phippines for years, a Chinese
ballplayer has never broken into the
organized game until this season.
Vernon Ayau. full-blooded Chinese
from Honolulu, is TO appear in the
lineup of the Seattle Northwestern

its season early in May and will be

There was some talk at first OF bar
ring Ayau but managers of the Butte
and Great Falls clubs recOnsid-
cred and it is now certain that he
will at least start the season with
Seattle.
Ayau is a shortstop and has had
a great deal of experience at the
game, starting to play in Honolulu
when a boy. He was a member of a
college team in the islands for four
years and toured the United States
with the All-Chinese team in 1913,
IA and IS.
