Time to Eioht Mice,

The time to fight mice In when your
house Is still rid of them. First make
n 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 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 of 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 n. final resource you
will perhaps have to choose between
a mouse trap and cat. It 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, 1t Is now one
Of the crimes of wnstefulness, OF
which no patriotic woman should be
guilty.-Exchange.

Farming Without Hands.

London Tit Bits tells this story. Jean
Ledrans, a French peasant, was mo-
bilized at the outbreak of war in the
artillery. Being known as an expert
grenadier. he was chosen to train re-
cruits in bombing. While giving in
struction. a grenade he held burst,
killed six men, and wounded Ledrans
in five places. He lost his right eve
and both his hands were blown of.
Immediately after his recovery, the
peasant girl to whom he had been en-
gagged married him, and he settled ON
his father-in-law's farm. This brave
son Of France, who lost his hands q
little over year ago. Is now able to
write perfectly well. to drive horse
ana cart, drive a pIow. hoe and dig in
the fields, and harness and unharness
a horse. All the appliances which he
uses on both stumps Of his forearms
have been devised by himself.

CHANGES IN DRAFTING SYSTEM.
Nine Million Remaining Reoistrants

NINE MilIton remaining He0tstfante
Will Be Divided into Five Classes.
Washington.-A sweeping change
in the machinery Of the selective
draft, based on division OF the 9,0O0,-
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 will 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.
