time. Besides. the harboring of
mice or rates is extremely filthy.
1t really seems a shame to allow
our children TO read those amusing,
nature taking stories in which wee
furred mice play the part Of heroes.
1t really is not difficult to work up a
heart full Of sympathy for these
little timOrOus beastieS; but as far
as that goes there are probably
some persons who might makes pets
out of mosquitoes and house flies if
they did not put a curb-bit on their
warm heartedness.
A recent bulletin from the de-
partment of agriculture shows in
figures OF appalling magnitude the
amount Of actual damages that is
done yearly by rodents. Rats, of
course, do the most harm, but mice
are close seconds. Not only do they
consume much valuable human food
and render an enormous additional
quantity unfit for consumption. but
il is an undisputed fact that they
sometimes cause fire by nibbling the
ends of matches.
Throughout the country sections
rat clubs are springing up in great
numbers The elimination Of all
sorts of food waste is now regarded
as a patriotic service. and the
housewives mouse club is every whit
as patriotic, or may be regarded so.
as the farmers rat club.
Few people realize with what
rapidity these animals reproduce
And the housewife seems to think
that she has done enough if she has
killed off a few traps full Of mice.
She wonders where the rest come
from. If she can actually kill off
all the mice at the outset Of the
cold season. when they first come
indoors and before they have multi
piled. her task is much easier than
il is if she waits until the first set
of mice become grand parents and
great grand parents.
Is il absurd 70 look forward 10 a
time when the mouse genus will be
extinct? What a pleasure If one OF
the curiosities that we took our
children TO see in the zoo was a
cage of these one-time household
pests II is entirely within the
bounds of reason 70 suppose that
this extinction might take place. It
could be accomplished with consid-
era BILE less effort and money than
have been needed to clean up Ger
tain sections of the yellow fever
mosquitoes. And one has but TO
read the recent bulletin OF the de-
parment Of agriculture 10 tell for
himself whether such work would
be worth while or not

Daily Talks By Mary Pick ford
HONTFSICKNFSS.

A girl reader asks me 20 make a
Daily Talk" on the subject Of
homesickness, but I think her point
OF view is different from mine
Mother has always taught me that
IL is a waste Of human energy TO
spend ones self in emotions Of I'M
availing regret and sorrow when
/ the time and energy can be spent
so effectively towards gaining hap
piness.
: HOme sickness may be sweet or il
may be dangerous, according 10 our
way OF INDUCING in il. ! heard a
/ doctor say that a great cause for
| insanity among foreigners in the
northwest was due TO Inconsistencies
They grieved so much because Of
their absence from dear ones and
familiar environments that they be-
came insane. Just think how much
they would have benefited if they
had spent that energy in making
new friends and in occupying their
minds with plans for adding COM
forts 10 their new home
1t is sweet TO think Of those we
love in the far-off lands, and to re-
member all their goodness to us and
the happiness they afforded us. but
il is wrong to grieve for those bless
ings as though they were lost for
ever. Instead, why not plan how
these dear ones may come and VS.
il the new land and new home. and
how we can save and manage TO
visit them?
This country has its compensa-
tions. If the newcomers had not
thought of it better than their own
for advancement they would not
have come here. Why, then. should
: one bewail instead Of smiling?
There is always hope for return to
the scenes of happy childhood, and
always opportunity TO better the
condition of those left behind.
remember an Irish girl who said
to me one day:
Miss Mary, wrote home and
told the folks that 1 had meat to
eat once a week and a room all to
myself, and a silk dress for a par

JOIN THE MOUSE CLUE.

Although you may object on prin-
ciple and out of the kindness Of
your heart to hunting wild game,
there is one kind of wild-animal
chase that you surely approve Of,
and that is the determination Of
rodents. One might as well disclaim
ones right TO membership in the
human race as to confess a mawk-
ish sympathy for the mice that in
fest ones cupbOards and closets. Al
though it has not been proved that
infantile paralysis was carried by
rates, it has been proved that ro-
dents do carry diseases of more sorts
than one. and it is highly probable
that they do more harm by way of
communicating disease than can be
definitely proved at the present
