HOW
To Rid the Home Of Insect
Pests Most Effectively

TR. WILMER KRUSEN of the Phil
adelphia department of health
recommends the following meas
ares:
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 machine oil can
into the cracks and crevices Of the
floors and other woodwork where they
breed. Powdered borax mixed with a
little sugar is also q good remedy, but
in the presence of other food borax is
not very effective. It Is suggested that
cracks and crevices which are their
hiding places be closed up with putty
or paint. Since these. pests hide by
day and 60 forth at night to feed it is
essential that all foodstuofs be kept un-
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, Al they may be found In very
carefully kept homes. A good way to
destroy them Is to spray their hiding
places with q solution Of corrosive sub
Innate, one ounce to q pint Of alcohol
This substance Is poisonous and should
be 20 marked. Gasoline 10 one Of the
most efficient agents used in the exter-
mination Of the bedbug and should be
sprayed freely in cracks and crev1ces
with a machine oil can. Turpentine
and kerosene are less efficient and leave
oily stains after their use.
Moths.-These are very destructive
10 clothes when not properly protected.
Furs and woolens are particularly sus-
cephble to the influence Of moths.
Thoroughly brush and clean the clothes
before they are put away for the sum-
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 be 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. It Is also q
good plan to unpack these clothes &C.
casionally during the summer and give
them an adequate airing in the sun.
Flies.-Keep the garbage pail covered
tightly. Fly paper freely distributed
win be great help in destroying them.
A solution Of potassium bichromate
lone teaspoonful to two ounces of sug-
AIRED water or few drops Of formalin
in sweetened water will kill flies when
placed where they can drink. Fly swat
tiers, fly traps and screens can be used
to advantage.
Mosquitoes. - Burning sulphur will
stupefy them. They then fall to the
floor and can be burned with the sweep
ings. Do not allow any water to accu-
mulate in barrels, pans, buckets, on
tho roof or any part of the house, as
mosquitoes breed readily in standing
water.

How to Hang q Skirt a. Well % .
Tailor Does Il.

Tailor Does 1t.
There are few figures with both hips
alike. One is nearly always higher
than the other and this generally
causes some trouble to the home dress
maker in hanging skirts. A profess
sional dressmaker gives this advice :
Before cutting the skirt get your exact
measurements. Draw the tape measure
snugly around the waist line, then
measure around the hips eight inches
from the waistline Mark down the
length from the waistline to the floor
in front. right hip, left hip and back.
In doing this you get the exact differ
ence in your hips, and corresponding
difference should be allowed when cut
ting the skirt.
Now measure the leugth Of the front
pattern. If too long lay tuck about
tan inches from the bottom. and do
this on all cores. Cut the smaller gore
first; that is, the one that goes over the
smaller hip, and then insert piece of
paper to make up the difference in the
other hip. On no account should one
allow the extra inch or two at the
bottom, as it gives the skirt a drawn
look and makes 1t stand out on that
side
