Bed Bugs Keep Rooms
 From Renting


 Many desirable rooms don't rent for the simple reason that they are known to be infested with Bed Bugs. Spend 25 cents and clean your home, and your rooms will rent. Tell the public your house has been cleaned with Cyrus Presto Killer and the applicant for rooms will be satisfied. There is nothing better made, noth- ing so clean to use and noth- ing so clean to use and noth- ing so harmless to human beings-it does not burn. Try a can % cents, it is worth money to you.

Details of the Drawing

..One group of numbers, from one to 1000 and second group from naught to ten, have been carefully imprinted On opaque slips of paper. black on one side, counted and checked. These slips have been rolled up and each put inside a gelatin capsule with the black side out. To insure absolute accuracy Of count the capsules con taining numbers from. one to 1000, have been counted into II glass jars in groups of 100 each; the glass jars have been sealed and kept in 9 safe awaiting the day of drawing.
 'sThe contents of the jars will be decanted into a large glass receptacle from which the capsules can be readily drawn. t
 "A blindfolded man will stir the capsules in the receptacle thoroughly before any are drawn and will keep stirring them during the drawing.
 "A blindfolded man will then draw capsules out one at a time. As each capsule is drawn it will be handed to an announcer, who will break the cap sule and announce the number drawn. While he is announcing the number a second capsule will be drawn and handed to a second anncAlncer, who will break the capsule and read the number. The drawing will proceed in this way until all the capsules are drawn. g
 Three tally sheets will be kept One keeper of a tally sheet will re- peat each number as 1t is announced and all three will write 1t down. In case of disagreement between tally sheets on any number, the sheets that agree will control.
 "Immediately before the drawing of the numbers from 1 to 1000. the drawing of the numbers from 0 to g will take place to determine the order

master list consist of one sheet for each 1000 we could provide master list easily applicable to lists with only 5000 numbers, since such boards could disregard all except the first three sheets.
 we should do this but for the fact this this makes 1t certain that men in the first thousand would be called first. men in the second thousand next, and men with high serial numbers last of all.
 Since the assignment of numbers is also done by chance. this does not in terfere very greatly with the even chance of all men, but it does inter fere to some extent For this reason 1t was decided to have one drawing to determine the order within any group of 1000 and other drawing to defermine the order in which the sheets of 1000 each should appear on the master list, instead of arbitrarily assigning the sheets of 1000 in their natural order.
