Time TO Elaht Mice.

4 The time to fight mice IL when your
house is still rid of them. First make
a hard and fast rule that not crumb
Of food is left exposed In kitchen,
pantry or cupboard. See also that In
the bedrooms of your home no waters
or other tasty bits are left where a
mouse might get them and tkus find
encouragement to take up his perma-
nent abode there.
The next thing to do is to cut on 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 final resource you
will perhaps have to choose between
mouse trap and cat. 1t all de-
pends 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, 1t is now one
Of the crimes of wastefulness, Of
which no patriotic woman should be
guilty.-Exchange.

Fuel Gas as Petrol Substitute.

The shortage of petrol, as gasoline
is known abroad, occasioned by the
enormous Quantities needed on the
hattie fronts, has resulted, In England.
In the Introduction of fuel alterna-

cles for private use necessarily came.
to a standstilI when the gasoline be-
came acute. But 1t Is reported that.
motorcyclists there soon discovered
that coal gas would serve just as well
"A gas contafner in the form Of a ball
loon is hoisted on steel supports
above the machine. giving the whole
outfit the appearance of zeppelin

They are popularity termed balloon
Bikes" and are said to operate much
more cheaply on coal gas than on gaso-
line. The possibilities that might re-
suit from meeting between this new
contraption and good broadside gale
can only be imagined, but there would
undoubtedly be no lack of thrills.-Ex-

Washington.-A sweeping change
in the machinery of the selective
draft, based ON division of the 9,000,-
900 remaining registrants into five
classes in order Of their eligibility for
military service. was announced by
Provost Marshal General Crowder.
Details Of the plan, which has been
approved by President Wilson. are
not disclosed. 1t is calculated, how
ever, to do away with virtually all the
complicated machinery of the first
draft. The plan was worked out at
conferences with local and district
board officials and approved by the
various state authorities.
Its chief features are that every reg
istered man viii know his exact posi-
ton and be able to arrange his affairs
accordingly and that no man deemed
necessary in any important industry
or needed at home to support his fam
lily will be called to the colors unless
the military situation is desperate.
