Time to Fioht Mice.

The time to fight mice is when our
house Is still rid of them. First make
a hard and fast rule that not a crumb

h bedrooms of your home no waters
or other tasty bits are left where n
mouse might get them and thus find
encouragement to take up his perma-
nent abode there.
The next thing to do is to cut off the
means of entrance to your home, and
this is done by seeing that there are
no loose passageways into the cellar
or open cavities in the wall or loose
woodwork. AS a final resource you
will perhaps have to choose between
a mouse trap and a cat. 1t all de-
ponds on your affinity for the feline
pet which you will do. But remember
that, whereas permitting mice to lodge
In your house was formely only an
act of slothful neglect, it Is now one
Of the crimes of wastefulness. of
which no patriotic woman should be
guilty.-Exchange.

that there was nc salvation without

for salvation vas a heavy course in

shall be saved through repentance
