No Open House for Rats.

Do not keep "oPen house" for rats
by leaving basement doors ajar f0f
ventilation without proper safeguards.
The management Of a large depart.
ment store In an eastern city recently
had a very expensive lesson In this
regard. Rats had been doing damage
to the extent Of nearly $1,000 month.
but by persistent trapping were finally
exterminated. The building was then
made "rat.proof." But after q time
rats were again at their work Of de-
struction.
Puzzled 70 know how the pests had
gained entrance, the management
learned that In summer the night
watchman was accustomed to leave q
basement door open for ventilation.
Naturally the rats entered and an.
other campaign Of determination had
to be waged. This expense could cas-
lily have been prevented, says the bu-
reau Of biological survey Of the depart
ment Of agriculture. II a piece Of sheet
Iron three feet high had been placed
across the doorway and the sides OF
the doorway sheeted with metal
or otherwise made smooth so that rats
could not gain foothold. Rats can
not climb over such barriers, as they
do over mesh or crossed wires.

PACKING FRUIT FOR MARKET
Good, Clean and Attractive Packages
Count for More Than inexperienced
Man Realizes.

The commercial grower knows that
good clean packages and honest attrAc'
tive packs count a great deal-more
than the inexperienced man realizes.
Fruit coming from the Pacific coast,
where good packages and professional
packers are appreciated. finds ready
sale and good prices. Eastern growers
have learned many lesson In fruit
packing from their Western brothers.
The Western product outsells that pro-
duced In the Central and Eastern
states because Of the very attractive
pack Of the former. While the quail
Ity Of certain classes Of the Pacific
grown fruit Is no better than Eastern
grown stock. yet II is so carefully sort.
ed and packed that II at once catches
the eye Of the fruit purchasers and
adds at least % per cent to the selling
value OF Western grown fruit.

concluded satisfactorily.
1t says that an agreement has been
reached under which II, 900 tons of

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.--~An agree
ment has been reached between the
War Trade Board and the Scandinavian
countries whereby a quantity of neces-
sites shall be sent to Denmark, Sweden

DR.. Lundbohm and Axcl NordvalI. the
swedish commissioners, requested the
United States authorities to allow ship
mcnts Of coffee kerosene. drugs and
some tlelicacies during the Christmas
season in the nature of holiday gift
from the United States to Scandinavia.
The request was granted, but ships
could not be secured in time for ship
ment at Christmas, and the question
now is being worked out between the
Swedish mmlssioners and the Ship

Russia and cquipping base hospitals
there. He said $4,000 had been ex-
pended on hospitals and about S3s 900
had been spent on nineteen ambu-
lanccs. There is still about $1,000 in
the treasury. and this will be turned
over to the Red Cross. he said. Mr..
Swami declined to state whether or not
indictments would be returned against
