Simple Remedies That viii
Rid the Living Rooms and
Offices of All Cockroaches

The nuisance of reaches In offices
and living rooms Of houses can be re-
duced, If not removed entirely, by the
elimination of all attractive sub
stances, according to the United States
Department of Agriculture.
Reaches will not frequent rooms
unless they find some available food
kept from living rooms and Offices or
scrupulous care exercised to see that
no such material is placed in drawers
where 1t can leave an attractive Odor
or fragments of food, the roach
nuisance can be largely restricted to
places where food necessarily must be
kept. In such places the storage of
food material in insect-proof contain
ers or ice boxes, together with thor
ough-going cleanliness, will go a long
way toward preventing serious annoy
ance.
Reaches as household pests may be
controlled by the use of various poi
sons, repellents, and fumigants, and by
trapping. The more efficient of these
remedies are powders, particularly So
dunn fluorid, a liberal busting Of
which about the infested premises fur
nishes an efficient means for the elm
ination Of these pests. Also n part
powdered borax and three parts finely
pulverized chocolate sprinkled freely
about infested premises. :
C~ockroaches are the commonest and
most offensive of the house pests.
-Four kinds are often found in houses,
offices, etc. These are the American
roach, a native insect; the European
or Oriental roach, known in England
as the black beetle; the Australian
roach; and the little German roach,
commonly known in this country as
the Croton bug.

MARCH OF THE DEFENDERS

Oh, knights Of hope and Spring-tide
marching, marching,
When shall you wear the flowers
again, and not the blood-stained
thorn?
Oh, young and dear, who come to lay
the splendor of your life away,
We know not what immortal bloom
from your brave dust is born!
For bark! a sound of marching -
marching, marching
We hear the thunder of the steps of
Michaels' host in Heaven;
The Force which struck the fiery Star
that kindled to a lurid bar,
And fell as a red meteor when the
morning clouds were riven.
And they shall come-the gallant dead
to meet us, marching
The souls that made of earth's dark
wars a golden memory.
The Maid of France shall ride again,
grave captains at her side again,
And Nelson's spirit on the wave shall
call to victory.
Oh, hosts Of light, that strive and die,
oh, great ranks, marching,
Still hold aloft the deathlesS rose,
your hope of years to be!
Where ruin marked the steps Of
wrong, again the Spring shall
break in song,
And valiant lilies, white and red,
shall flower from sea to sea.

commended for its bravery.
This ambulance unit, the personnel

break the Italian Piave line. All
during this battle and in the counter

Members of the main committee

Germany knows she is defeated
This was the belief expressed today
by high officials in commenting on
the speech OF Count Won Hertling. the
imperial German chancellor, in which
he referred to the deep discomfort
which has seized wide circles OF the
population"
II this was a frank confession OF
the conditions that exist in Germany,

this unrest has grown TO such an
extent that II cannot be ignored b.
the Teuton rulers, who recognize that,
in view of IL, an internal upheaval is
inevitable-and a revolt of the Ger
man people undoubtedly would mean
speedy termination of the war.
On the other hand, IL the German
chancellor's statement was made
merely for allied consumption-to
exaggerate the conditions that sctu-
ally do exist, in the belief that the
enemies OF the central powers, and
chiefly America, would slow down
their war programs-this alone is a
confession, it was emphasized. that
the central powers are at last realiz-
