Health HINTS.

Whether they are OF the big black
variety or the small red kind Of ants,
II they invade a dwelling place, are
an annoyance that drive good house
wives to the verge of distraction.
Once they get into a house it seems
practically impossible to get entirely
rid of them. So widespread is this
problem and so many appeals have
been made to health officers and gov
eminent departments for information
as to the best method of getting rid
Of ants that an official remedy has
been recommended by the 9. s. De.
partment of Agriculture, Bureau OF
Entomology.
The chief entomologist recommends
arsenate Of soda, which, while efficient
must be used with extreme care.
To one pound of sugar, dissolved
in quart OF water, add 1875 grains of
arsenate Of soda. This mixture should
be boiled and strained and cooled be-
fore it is ready for use.
Procure a few small sponges and
saturate with the syrup and place
them where the ants can heave ready
access to them. Adding little honey
to the syrup will make the mixture
more attractive to the ants.
When the sponges are filled or COW
cred with ants, dip them in boiling wa
ter, refill with the syrup and place in
This method Of control has been
tested for three years by an expert
of the U. s. Bureau Of Entomology and
has given satisfactory results.
However, in using this preparation
the greatest possible precautions
should be taken in preparing this syr-
up and in Safeguarding it afterwards
to prevent its being the cause Of pois'
cning to members Of the family or
domestic animals. Especially should
it be sealed and put away where chill
dren cannot get 1t.
