Destroy This House Pest.

The silver f1sh-like insect known as
silverfish or slicker is a troublesome
pest in many homes where 1t is found
in books, papers, clothing and other
articles containing starch. 1t Is par
ticularly destructive in Libraries, being
fond Of the paste used In the bind
ing Of books. Frequently 1t feeds on
the paste used in applying wallpaper,
causing It to scale off. 1t also dam
ages starched clothing, linen and cur
tains If left undisturbed for any consid-
cradle period Of time. Nearly every
housewife is familiar with this obnox-
ious little pest, which is able to run
about with great rapidly though they
may know it by some other name than
silverfsh.
One Of the best household remedies
for silverilsh is pyrethrum. Sodium
fiuorid, a most efficient roach powder,
is also an effective remedy. 1t may be
busted, or applied with the powder
blower, wherever the silverf1sh is likely
to occur. Frequent handling and airing
Of starched clothing and similar OBJ
jects will aid in their destruction. A
thin, boiled starch paste made of three
quarters ounce Of powdered white ar
senic and one pint of flour is a good
poisoned bait when spread upon small
pieces Of cardboard and put in places
frequented by silverflsh. AS this paste
is very poisonous 1t should be kept out
Of reach of children.

SCOUTS IN FOOD CAMPAIGN

Among the workers who have been
doing excellent work in arousing the
people to the necessity for conserving
food and signing the pledge card. the
boy scouts deserve to be given much
credit.
Some Of these scouts have had very
interesting experiences. One Whining
ton woman came to the door with a
baby In her arms. Had she signed the
card? No. she hadn't and didn't intend
to either. She told the scout to move
on and not bother her
But this scout had much diplomacy
in his makeup. While the woman was
berating him, he began petting the
child. He remarked what q fine-look-
ing girl 1t was.
Told Indignantly by the mother that
1t wasn't a girl, but boy, he tactfully
remarked that II that was the case, he
bet the babe when 1t reached manhood
would help Uncle Sam in every way
that he could.
The children across the seas were In
such sorry need of food, the scout re-
marked, it was shame that they did
not have some of the stuff that people
in Wilmington threw away in garbage
pals.
That made the woman ask some
questions of the scout. When he had
answered them, about the need for
pledge card and signed 1t.

WHEAT AND MEAT CONSERVED
Much Can Be Saved by Use Of Various
Substitutes In Arranging Lunch
for Children.

Wheat and meat can be saved in
thousands of lunches carried each
morning to school by the children Of
this nation. There Is no need to de-
crease the energy value or nourish-
ment Of these lunches, but in addition
to saving wheat and meat 1t Is pos
sible with the various substitutes to
give a pleasing variety to the noon
meal at school.
Since whatever meat brought from
home Is usually In the form of sand
wiches, the problem Of the meatless
lunch Is not hard. for so many good
sandwich filings other than meat are
easy to secure. Here are a few sug-
gestIons for sandwich filings: Chop
ped hard-boiled egg mixed with salad
dressing; peanut butter; cottage or
cream cheese; chopped dates and nuts.
All are good and the children will like
them as we'll as meat.
For the wheatless day the sand
witches are more Of a problem, but
toasted corn mullins, rye bread, Oat-
meal bread, or oatmeal or corn waters
can take the place Of the bread made
Of wheat only. The filings can be
anything usually used.
A sweet such as chopped fruits and
nuts pressed and cut in cubes or slices,
a piece Of chocolate, or oatmeal cook
les, will find favor with the children
in place Of the cooky or cake made
from wheat flour.
Sandwiches, fruit, and a sweet make
good lunch. especially II supplement
ed by cupful of hot cocoa or soup
made at school and containing some
milk. Or the lunch brought from home
may be even simpler-plain bread and
an apple or other fruit are enough If
the hot dish prepared at school Is
hearty one.

Stores used to be well supplied with

housewife. Now it Is becoming impos-
sible to purchase some of the simplest

Metal utensils rust when put away
wet.
Brooms and brushes used continu-
ally on one side wear to point.
Brooms should not be allowed to
stand on the floor until their weight
bends or breaks the straw.
Glasses often are broken when the
bottom instead of the side first touches
the hot dishwater.
China Is dulled by washing 1t with
too strong soap suds.
China Is broken In the refrigerator
by placing heavier dishes on it.
Liquids are spilled on rugs or polished
surfaces because the container was too
full.
Contents Of saucepans boil over on
the stove or in the oven because al
lowance was not made for the expan-
sion of liquids when heated.
Burned food will clog burners Of gas
and oil stoves and lessen efficiency.
Many rugs are torn because they
were held firmly by the edge during
severe shaking.

NO WIPlNG, LESS BREAK.
AGE WITH THIS DISH
DRAlNER.

Perhaps no time spent in
housework is more begrudged by
the housekeeper than that spent
in washing and wiping dishes. A
dish drainer not only saves time
and labor but it does away with
the too-often insanitary dish
towel. By keeping the dishes
separate rather than in a pile it
should also reduce breakage.
A most satisfactory dish drain
er, Illustrated above, can be
made by using an ordinary bread
or biscuit pan and racks made Of
soft No. II CT IA wire. By using
pair of pliers the wire can be
bent into the proper shape for
forming the racks. The racks
fit into the pan and hold the
dishes out Of the water. The
compartment for silver is made
Of poultry netting. This COM
partment could be made Of
screen wire, or a tin can with
holes in the bottom might be
used.
After the dishes are washed
they are stacked in the racks
and scalded with hot rinsing wa
ter. The pan catches the drip,
and the dishes soon dry clean
and lintless. II the drainer Is
used on the drain board of a
sink a small hole can be made in
the pan and the drip drained i'm
mediately into the sink. The
wire racks can easily be remov-
ed SO that the pan can be used
for other purposes.

BLEEDING Useful at Times.

For ages one of the customs OF
Chinese physicians has been to thrust
fine needles into the body to let out
pains and various maladies and it ap-
pears that bleeding in this way is
often really useful. After long OBJ
servation IN China DR.. James Camille
reports himself SO much impressed
with the results that he has adopted
the procedure himself for certain
cases. Needing seems to lessen the
tension in the inflamed part and to re-
lieve neuralgia and rheumatic pains,
swelling and stiffness from sprains and
and especially the indefinite
hip pains usually called sciatica.

SCOUTS ARE NIGHT POLICE.

A large number of burglaries having
occurred at Pecan Gap, Tex, and there
being a large amount Of cotton stored
there, the railroad company and the
business men employed a local troop OF
boy scouts to police the town.
Cots were placed in the depot for
the scouts to sleep upon while not on
duty. -Four scouts are on duty every
night, and there is not an hour that
passes without the streets being pa
trolled.
Pecan Gap scouts occupy unique
position and are rendering effective
service.

SCOTCH SCOUTS AID NAVY.

Boy scouts are acting as dispatch

without any officers watching them, but
working simply under their own boy
leaders, they are doing their patriotic
duty, said Lieut. Gen. Baden-Powell
recently.
Every night without fall" he con-
tinued, "these boys have carried dis.
patches along that wild coast down to
the admiral at the base. and they do
about six miles every night. I saw
the one hundred and nineteenth mes

these boys face difficulty and danger
simply from a sense Of duty"

With this Lydia ran up the steps,

Of her face at parting.

man were Keeling, drunken with the
fragrance Of his beloved. It was some
moments before he began to recover.
Interim, he stood bareheaded In the

Overwhelming coffee. tea,

common habit and means need
less use of sugar. Often much
of the sugar thus used is not
dissolved and remains in the bot

away. Thousands of Americans
waste sugar In this thoughtless
manner every day. In the ag-

BOY SCOUTS FIND BONES.

Boy scouts, digging into a large
mound near Park River, N. D., un-
earthed the skulls and the skeletons OF
three Indians, who must have been
buried there hundred years or more
ago, as the mound was there when the
earliest pioneers came to that section
Of the state. 1t is believed that furth-
er excavating will yield some interest
