widespread, Ii this problem and so
many appeals have been made to
health officers and government de-
partments for information as to the
best methods Of getting rid Of ants
that an official remedy has been rec
commended by the L. s. department OF
agriculture, bureau of entomology.
The chief entomologist recommends
arsenate Of soda, which. while cffi-
cient. must be used with extreme care.
To one pound of sugar. dissolved in
a quart of water, add 1875 grains OF
arsenatc of soda. This mixture
should be boiled and strained and
cooled before II is ready for use.
+ Procure ~ few small sponges ana
saturate with the syrup and place them
where the ants can have ready access
to them. Adding little honey to the
syrup will make the mixture more at.
tractive to the ants.
T When the sponges are filled or GOV.
cred with ants. dip them in boiling
water, refill with the syrup and place
in position, again.
This naethod of control has been
tested for three years by an expert OF
the q. s. bureau of entomology and
has given satisfactory results.
However, in using this preparation
the greatest possible precautions
should be taken In preparing this
syrup and in safe guarding it after
wards to prevent it's being the cause
OF poisoning to members of the family
or domestic animals. Especially
should it be sealed and put away
where children cannot get it.

Vermont Historian May Give Leader

The rewriting of United States his |
tory, which already has served 10
align Washington with the federalist |
party or its beginnings, may give TO
Gen. Ira Allen more important place |
than his brother, Ethan. The latter
name is known in almost every cor
ner Of the country while the formers
fame is much more confined.
A prominent Vermonter, probably
w. H. Crockett). who Is writing his
tory Of the state, says Ira was the
more important parsonage. The pres
ent historian, and all historians after
him will have to go to the library of
Vermont now being catalogued at the
state university.
One OF the chief titles" or volumes
there is a short diary of Ira Aliens
trip to England in 1856 in the inter.
est of q canal connecting Lake Cham
plain with the st Lawrence river.
The late Prof. Goodrich once said
Of Ira Allen:
THAT Ira Allen was one of the mas
ter spirits OF the infant common
wealth OF Vermont-secretary of it's
council of safety. its first treasurer,
| its first surveyor-general, and its
| agent in various important diplomatic
| negotiations known to all stu
dents Of Vermont history. That he
was the first protector of the enter
prise of connecting the waters of
Lake Champlain and the river st.
Lawrence by canal is also well
known. In 1876 he went to England
to enlist the British government in
his scheme. He kept diary OF his
| journey and interviews with represent
tatiyes, which has been carefully pre-
served in the Allen family
FRA Allen was the founder of the
University of Vermont and he did
more for the commonwealth than per
haps any other man. On one occa-
sion when a meeting of people OF New
Hampshire and Vermont territory had
endorsed plan TO cut slice OFF Veri

Vermonters TO reverse their action. II
was he who took leading part in the

from the date OF such action had good
credit, unlike many of the other

II was on December II, 1895, that
he sailed from Boston for England.
He spent month after month there,
until finally the Duke of Portland,
home secretary OF the British gov
eminent, refused TO cut the canal
through and take toll as Allen
proposed. II was too stormy at Fal.
mouth for him TO disembark and see
Pendennis Castle, where his brother
was confined during the period when
Vermont entered the Union.
At the last interview with Portland
Allen says: observed that should
have been much obliged to his grace
to have told me that (the govern
men wouldn't dig the canal at my
first interview and not kept me dane
ing attendance FIVE or six months for
such an answer"

and the alkali in the soap viii cleanse
the pores. If there are any callouSes
left after scrubbing remove them with
the blunt side of pair of scissors or
piece of pumlce stone.
Pare very carefully any corns-that
is. If the roots are too far under TO be
worked out with the fingers and mas
sage out the little kernels from which
the corns grow. Rinse the feet well,
and then apply olive oil and alcohol

antiseptic powder. Cocoa butter is also
very soothing when rubbed into the
feet and ankles. It'should be carefully
wiped off and little toilet powder ap-
Piled before putting ON the stockings

PHOTOGRAPHS ON WOOD.
An Easy Method by Which the Prints
May Be Transferred.

A method of transferring pictures to
wood Is given IN the Electrical Exper-
imenter by V. &. McIlvaine, as follows:
Dissolve salt in soft water, float your
photo print OH the surface picture side
up; let il remain about an hour. The
wood should be of birdseye maple or
other light colored hardwood, which
should be vanished with the best
copal or transfer varnish.
Take the picture from the water, dry
a little between linen rags; then put
the engraving, picture side down. ON
the vanished wood and smooth It
nicely II the picture entirely covers
the wood after the margin Is cut Off so
that no vnrnlsh is exposed lay over II

euARANroRs ARE HARD HIT
Those at Brandon Partially Agree tc
Help Out Chautauqua.

Brandon, Aug. 2.-At meeting of
the Chautauqua guarantors held yes
terday at the Brandon Inn DR. Pier
son of the Swarthmore Chautauqua
made a suggestion that the guaran-
tors here assume one-half of the guar
antee Of $500 to help out the loss due
to inability to open here next Satur-
day on account of the order issued by
the state board of health.
He stated that the association
would do its best to fill the Brandon
dates in town in Massachusetts and
give the guarantors one-half of the
gross receipts received there to apply
on the $3.50.
Some of the 80 or more guarantors
seemed to think it a fair proposition
and partially agreed to the plan, while
others, who were guarantors for the
past two years and had to go into
their pockets to make up deficiency
in order to pay the association, feel
that they are under no obligation
whatever.

BIG POTATO CROP
Vermont viii Raise 100000 Bushels
More Than Last Year.

Montpelier, Aug, 3.-Frazer Metz
ger of the publicity department of tile
Vermont Public Safety Committee
states that the latest canvass made
by the committee shows that the
Vermont potato crop this year will
be over 100000 bushels greater than
in any previous year and that with
this large crop there will be no rea-
son for high prices if spectators are
kept out and the people of the state
cooperate in storing the crop.
Mr.. Metzger finds that the problem
OF taking care of Vermont's part of
the crops harvested this fall is going
to be large one, as a government
representative has informed the com.
mittee that the government win be
unable to help out the New England
states in the sale of their oyer-pro-
duetion.
