Housekeepers Can Save
$500, 900, 900 on Food


In these days when the high cost Of
living pinches nearly every home. no
waste should be overlooked. One of the
most fragrant and the most easily pre-
vented, is the destruction Of food by
rats. One rat will often do a hundred
dollars damage Of food and property
in SINCE night, and careful estimate
gives over $200,000.0oo as the value Of
foodstuffs destroyed annually by these
pests.
The government at Washington Is
preparing campaign that should be
effective in killing the rats that are SO
destructive both to lives and property.
and In the present scarcity Of food, this
loss must be prevented. The most ef-
ficient way to Kill the Rat" Is by the
use of Stearns' Paste. and thousands Of
dollars worth have been bought by the
government. Every housekeeper trou-
bled with rats, mice, reaches or water
bugs should buy a small box Of this re-
liable exterrninator and stop further
loss Of food In her home.

Keeping Truths From German People
Says Writer in Switzerland.

Keeping Truths From German People,
Says Writer in Switzerland.
Late last month one day the Berliner
Tageblatt printed a telegram purport-
ing to have been sent to the Zuricher
Post by its Paris correspondent, de-
scribing the devastating effects Of the
bombardment Of Paris. which went so
far as to say that the South of France
was filled with refugees from the
capital.
The Zuricher Post now protests that
it's Paris correspondent never wired
anything Of the sort, says the New
York Times correspondent at Geneva,
Switzerland. The Berliner Tagehlatt
invented the telegram for the double
purpose Of raising the German morale
and arousing French feeling against
Switzerland.
The Gazette de Lausanne few days
ago published an estimate Of the recent
German losses. It was stated in the
article that the German papers now no
longer are a guide to the number Of
casualties, as since April Is the publ
cation OF notices Of deaths has been
forbidden.
The German minister In Switzerland,
Herr Romberg, now writes to the Gaz-
cite de Lausanne, contra dieting the
last statement and inclosing few
papers published since April Is. But
the Swiss paper points out that altho
these contain fewer death notices. Curl
ously enough, very nearly all the dead
were holders of the Iron Cross. An
issue Of the Tagliche Rundschau, for
example. had list OF f1fty-f1ve dead.
all decorated with the Iron Cross ex-
cept four soldiers whose deaths were
advertised by their employers.
The Gazette de Lausanne now asks II
Iron Cross heroes are especially vul-
nerable. II not, why Is 1t that deaths
of undecorated soldiers are not adver-
tised by their own relatives? Clearly
the Germans are attempting to sup
presS knowledge of their losses.

The price Of silver has doubled since
the outbreak of the war. 1t is UNDER
stood that there was some opposition
in Great Britain to the United States
buying silver at 81 an ounce. as rupees
are only a little more than 94.3 cents
value when melted.
The production Of silver fell OF seri-
ously In 1917. When the war broke out
silver was 60 cents an ounce, dropping
to 46. and very little could be sold at
that price,
Large producers continued operations,
the gold produced paying expenses, and
the silver was stored in vaults in San
Francisco. The advance was due to the
heavy demand from the allies to replace
gold withdrawn from circulation. and
the dollar-an-ounce price now estab-
lished Is to stimulate production.
With silver at dollar an ounce the
value Of silver dollar is 77.3 cents.
