of that body in voting to submit the

there is little reason to expect much

THE ENEMY RAT.
How TO Keep This Rodent Out OF
Houses.

How to Keep This Rodent Out OF
Houses.
The rat not only disseminates bu-
bonic plague, but carries tapeworms.
trichinae, fukes, roundworms and other
parasites, besides being suspected as an
active agent in communicating leprosy
and infantile paralysis. 1t can gnaw
through any common building material
except stone, hard brick, cement, glass
and iron. 1t destroys whole fields OF
grain, climbs trees TO steal fruit, eats
both fowls and their eggs and destroys
game. 1t steals costly furs and laces
for its nests, when it can get them.
Much Of our annual loss by fire is due
TO the rat, and he also starts floods by
burrowinS in dams and levees. He is
a great traveller and is fond of living
on shipboard, though fortunately he
journeys little by rail. Finally, his
fecundity is prodigious, the fond moth
er presenting him with numerous addi-
tions TO the family circle sometimes as
frequently as once II month.
The modern way OF attacking the rat
"is to build it out" The ratproofng of
buildings is described as "a cheap form
of insurance against fire and pesti-
lence"
When rats get into ratproof build
ings we have TO resort 10 traps and
poison TO get them out, the former be-
ing the least Objectionable. In the use
OF traps il must be borne in mind that
the rat is extremely cautions and will
not enter strange looking contrivances
in search of food if plenty Of other
nourishment that is not open to sus-
picion is available. The trap should
be strong enough so that the rat can
not force its head between the wire
and escape and should be dipped in
boiling water or smoked before being
set to Kill the human smell or that of
rats previously caught. 1t should not
be placed in an open space, but along
the wall or in IA narrow runway, for
the rats vision is somewhat defective
in the daytime, and, depending on its
whskers as guide, il has TO keep
close to some wall or other boundary.
Fish makes an excellent bait, but any

WHY
Furniture and Shoes Creak
and How to Stop Them

- REAKlNG shoes. beds. chairs
and stairs are most annoying
~ things. OF these creaking
bed is probably the worst. es-
pecially ii one lives In a fiat with
neighbors above and below who are
given 10 gossip or insomnia. for they
can tell at what hour you turn in at
night.
Bed cleats are made OF iron and are
often Of cast iron and sometimes do
not fit well. especially after the bed
has been in use for quite awhile. The
only thing TO do is either TO have the
socket and its fitting rod reground or
else place some elastic substance be
tween the socket and rod to make the
cleats fit The latter is the easier
thing TO do and Is just as satisfactory.
III the bed is n wooden one a tight
sning of the screws holding it together
should be sufficient TO stop all creak-
have Stats in the bed these, OF course,
give them every motion and some
times creak. Pieces OF blotting paper
put under the ends of each Stat will
obviate this difficulty.
The creaking OF stairs may be rene
died with n little hammer play and
few nails or screws. This annoyance
is caused 10y "A board rubbing against
another. The tread OF each step
should consist of one board only, but
occasionally it is made Of several
narrow strips or small pieces. The
only way TO step so that the tread will
not creak is TO place your foot close TO
the place where the banister is at
tached or else put your weight on your
toes, placing them just as far forward
as possible. This latter is rather haZ-
ardous. however.
Cracking shoes may be cured by
driving tacks IN the soles and clinching
them on the side and also by making
the leather more pliable. If the sole
layers are hard ike boards they will
slide like boards. but If they are soft
like layers OF cloth or pasteboard they
will bend without noise

Turkey Day Scraps End EuentfuL Grid Season SP(
NO TENNIS RANKING .OF PLAYERS FOR I9|7
 BY NATIONAL BOARD

New York. November 25.--The am nual meeting of the United States Ma tional Lawn Tennis association will be held in this city Friday, Decem- Der 7. The reports of the secretary, Edwin r. Torrey, and several commit tees will be considered and in this connection one effect of the war will be noted in the absence of any rank ing of players for 1917. Usually that committee reports at the December meeting, but in keeping with regula tions adopted last spring no ranking has been made.
 Chiet among the matters to be con- sidered is the disposition of tine money raised by subscriptions from clubs and from the proceeds of the national singles and doubles tourns- ments, as well as exhibition matches conducted on an elaborate scale dur ing the summer.
 Various other matters affecting the association's policy for next season will be considered. and as the com mittee, at it's August meeting, de- cided to continue tennis activity in 1918, important recommendations to- ward this end will be adopted prob ably.

 The service flags are flying, where ever you take a slant. all over the nation-those red banners. with the white field, and the blue stars inside.
 Every star means that some game guy is doing his bit. Every star means a ,wallop on the beezer for old Bill Hohenzollern.
 There are a couple of million such stars to be seen around the United States of America just now, but they are small punl<ins compared with the flock of stars Kaiser Bill will see dancing around in front of his lamps when this bunch of ours really gets at him.
 He's booked to learn the wisdom of the old saying about never start. ing anything that you can't go all the way through with.
 Are you flying a service flag?
 Maybe not. Not everybody has the proud privilege of getting into the big scrap himself or having Brother Jim and Son Tom in it.

 "I got on the water wagon. which was going some for me, and pated the third star on the flag.
 "I jointed up with society that looks after the old folks some of the lads left behind, and sees they're not shy on the rent or the eats.
 .So. I've got four stars on my private flag now, and I'm snooping around to get q couple more to make if 2 round half dozen. If l only knew how. maybe I'd knit a sweater"
