HOW
To Rid the Home Of Insect

Roaches.-Coal oil Is one of the best
Agents for the destruction of reaches
and their eggs. 1t should be sprayed
freely by means OF a machine oil can
into the cracks and creyices Of the
floors and other woodwork where they
breed. Powdered borax mixed with u
little sugar is also good remedy, but

not very effect.sA 1t Is suggested that
cracks and creyices which are their
hiding places be closed up with putty
or paint. Since these pests hide by
day and 90 forth at night to feed it is
essential that oil foodstuffs be kept I'M
der cover and crumbs carefully swept
from the floor. The kitchen sink should
be kept scrupulously clean. while the
kitchen closets should be thoroughly
scrubbed from time to time
Bedbugs. The presence of bedbugs
does not always reflect upon the house
wife. as they may be found IN very
carefully kept homes. A good way to
destroy them Is to spray their hiding
places with solution of corrosive sub
Innate, one ounce to pint Of alcohol
This substance is poisonous and should
be so marked Gasoline Is enc of the
most efficient agents used in the exter-
mination Of the bedbug and should be
sprayed freely in cracks and creyices
with q machine oil can. Turnentine
and kerosene are less efficient and leave
oily stains after their use.
Moths.-Jrhese are very destruetive
to clothes when not properly protected.
Furs and woolens are particularly SITS
ceptble 10 the influence of moths.
Thoroughly brush and clean the clothes
before they are put away for the sam
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 he free
OF dust and thoroughly cleaned. Naph-
thalene or tar balls should be freely
distributed In trunks. In closets and In
the pockets Of clothes. II is also a
| good plan to unpack these CLOTHES oc-
casionally during the summer and give
them an adequate airing in the sun.
Flies Keep the garbage pail covered
tightly. Fly paper freely distributed

A solution Of potassium bichromato

AIRED water or few drops Of fofmalin
Ia sweetcned water will kill flies when
placed where they can drink. Fly swat.

to advantage.
Mosquitoes. Burning sulphur will
stupefy them. They then fall to the
fioor and can be burned with the sweep
ines. Do not allow nnywater TO accu-
