VERMIN ATTRACTED BY FOOD
II No Scraps Are Around There viii
Be Little Trouble With Ants
or Reaches.

The surest way to keep a house free
from ants is to leave no food lying
about on shelves or in open places,
where they can reach 1t. Ants go
where they find food, and If the food
supplies of the household are kept In
ant-proof metal containers or In Ice
boxes, and If all foods that may hap
pen to be scattered by children or 9TH
ers is cleaned up promptly, the ant
nuisance will be slight. Cake, bread.
sugar, meat, and like substances, are
especially attractive to the ants, and
should be kept from them.
Reaches will not frequent rooms
unless they find some available food
material, and If such materials can
be kept from living room and offices
or scrupulous care exercised to see
that no such material is placed in
drawers where 1t can leave an attrac-
tive odor or fragments of food, the
roach nuisance can be largely restrict
ed to places where food necessarily
must be kept.

HAWK DESTRUCTIVE TO TREES
Birds Unvaryino Diet of Fish Sooner
or Later Causes Death Through
AccumuIations Of Grease.

Random bits Of curious knowledge
live in the summer time close by the
oceans edge. One gets to know, for
instance, such things as why hawk
nests SO often are seen in dead trees
It is not that the hawk, in seeking
home site, by choice picks q dead
tree in which to build its nest of twigs
and things; on the contrary, it inva-
riably selects live one. The dead
tree is the effect, not the cause Of the
hawks preference.
Hawks of the kind considered here
live exclusively on fish. Fish are
oily, and SO it follows that after a
few thousand have been dissected and
eaten in a nest the tree inhabited by
hawk family becomes discouraged
and abandons the struggle.
After hawks have used q lofty
bough as dining room for two or
three years tree becomes so greasy
that leaves find it impossible to hold
on. The oil slowly makes it's way to
the roots, covering them and making
the absorbing of water from the earth
out of the question. Deprived of oxy-
gen, having no leaves through which
to breathe it in, and of water, because
its roots are creased like a Labor day
pig, the tree gets discouraged and
gives up the fight.

HOLD SWORD SACRED THING
German Officer Said to Lose Commits
sion If He Should Be Parted From
Weapon by Force.

Officers in Germany are supposed to
have feeling almost of sacredness
about their swords, and I think, in
point of fact, officers in most countries
have. 1 have been told that if any
officer loses his sword by force he
loses his commission as an officer. I
do not vouch for this statement.
/ was told about the penalty for
losing a sword many years before the
war, in Dresden, to excuse an officer
whom I saw behave in the most bru-
tai manner. He was on the back plat
form of an old-fashioned street car
which was going very fast. Some man
in the street ran and tried to jump on
the car, and in taking hold of the rail
got hold of the handle of the officers
sword. Without the slightest feeling
as to whether the man would be seri-
ously hurt or not, the officer beat and
pounded this mans hands until he was
forced to let 60 and drop into the
street. But what a German officer does
is always considered right, anyway,
and no one dares to complain.-Neville
Taylor Gherardi (wife of former Unit
ed States naval attache at Berlin) in
Saturday Evening Post.

Blo Ships in Ancient DAYS.

When we bear in mind that the an
clients were in the habit Of producing
big things-the pyramids, the Colos-
sus Of Rhodes, the hundred-feet-long
painting of Nero, vast circuses, ETC.,
there seems to be no good ground for
doubling that they built big ships, and
not few of them, nor merely for
show. There must have been great
deal of maritime activity during the
centuries Immediately preceding and
following the beginning Of our era, and
not a few projects Of Importance de-
signed to facilitate navigation were
launched. The vain attempt to cut
through the isthmus of Corinth is
often referred to, but the effort made
by Nero to create a navigable canal
from the Lake Averius to the mouth
of the Tiber is less dwelt upon. Taci-
tus tells us of this, and in such fash
ion that the attentive reader has the
suspicion aroused in his mind that the
sins Of that emperor were more against
the taxpayers Of Rome than of the
sort usually attributed to him.
