vERMIN ATTRACTED BY FOOD
II No Scraps Are Around There Will
Be Little Trouble With Ants or
Roaches.'

I 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 it. Ants go
where they find food, and IL the food
supplies Of the household are kept in
ant-proof metal containers or In ice
boxes, and IL 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 valuable food
material, and If such materials can
be kept from living rooms and offices
or scrupulous care exercised to see
that no such material is placed in
drawers where it 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.

Fewer German sociaIists.

The membership of the socialist par
ty in Saxony has decreased from Ill.,
600 in 1914 to $4,000 paying members
at present, according to a recent Dres-
den dispatch to the Berliner Tage-
blatt. The decrease was due to the
number of socialists serving in the
army and the split in the socialist par
ty of Germany. Deputy Gradnauer,
speaking ut the convention of Saxon
socialists, said that the circulation of
socialist newspapers in Germany had
increased from 819,OOO copies on April
1, 1917, to 10000 on April I. 1918.

the fact that the Germans have

tinue their victorious progress. Many
additional towns have been captured
by Field Marshal Haig's men in the
north, while the French have success
fully overcome obstacles placed in
their way and reached territory north
Of scissors, which adds further to the
danger of the Germans in the N0yon
sector and to the line running east
ward from Scissors to Rheims.
All along the front from Arras to
the Somme the Germans are gradually
being driven back to the old Hinden-
burg line by the British. Along the
Somme the enemy is being harrassed

Forty-two German divisions have
suffered considerable losses in the
