Food Attracts Ants.

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 90
where they find food, and If the food
supplies Of the household are kept in
ant-proof metal containers or in ice
boxes, and If all food that may happen
to be scattered by children or others
is cleaned up promptly, the ant nui-
sance will be slight. Cake, bread sugar,
meat, and like substances are espe-
cially attractive to the ants and should
he kept from them.
Reaches will not frequent rooms
unless they find some available food
material, and If such materials can
he kept from living roOms and office
or scrupulous care exercised to see
that no such material is placed In
drawers where 1t 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.

WILL GET MAIL
IN HREE WEEKS

letters sent to some training camp or
other in this country were forwarded
to the great central A. f. Il. post Office
In France, at Tours, and there held
until the addressee could be located In
France. 1t is estimated that 100000
letters a month were delayed on this
account. Captain Frazier points out
that 1t is necessary that every soldier
should notify his correspondents at
once when he is assigned to a definite
unit i'm France.
Delays in the delivery of mail
occur at any time during a period Of
great activity and secret movement Of
troops" Captain Frazier explains.
"Where the success of a troop move
ment OF the front depends upon Sc
crecy mail cannot be sent to members
of a mobile force until the troops are
established at the selected designation.
Whether the delay be of hours or sew
eral days 1t must be accepted as a
military necessity.
Some Letters Just Miss Ships.
Every care is taken to expedite the
mail for wounded men In hospitals.
The only delay Is that which is abso-
lutely unavoidable. A wounded man
may be sent from one hospital to an.
other, and even to several before
reaching q permanent base hospital.
There is no delay whatever in nail
SEN home by or for wounded men.
"Only two causes of delay have oe-
Cured at the port Of embarkatiOn In
this country. One Is the posting of the
letter Just too late to make the trans
port and with a week ensuing before
the sailing of another transport. The
other cause Is the limitation placed
upon ocean transportation facilities
and lack of information as to the des-
tination of ships.
unless the military port officer at
the port Of em~barkation knows where
a steamship is going to land. mail can
not be sent by that steamship. This
defect has been cured by a war de-
partment order which directs that the
information as to destination be Cur
nished to the military port officer. One
Of the most ~puzzling things to the pub
lie has been the frequency with which
letters were received In France Of q
later date than letters that came after
ward. One explanation Of this Is that
the postmaster Of the port of embarka-
ton has been assigned a definite linn
tied cargo space. If 1000 bags were
ready for shipment and he could get
space for only 800. 1900 bags would
lie over, and these might include let
ters written previously to letters in the
500 bags"
All in all, Captain Frazier sees q
great Improvement in the service and
predicts a constant betterment-if the
people at home will use care.

WHERE YANKEES
ENTER FRANCE

are fleets OF ocean traffic, transports,
conveys, torpedo destroyers, patrol and
fishing boats, sail-steam a%uxillaries-
craft OF every possible relation TO the
sea. One day you may count scores Of
ships, and the next hundreds. Mys-
terry covers the flight and return OF
these interallied shuttles of steam and
steel.
Follow the splendid roads to Brit
tany, by fragrant pasture lands. You
will find air stations where American
flyers are hidden, guarding the en-.
trance of the English channel, helping
with convoy and patrol to make the
U-bOat menace n nullity.

On the way back, stop at one Of the
clearing houses of the troops. Let us
choose 'The Barracks Familiarity
called. There are 1900 men here. 1t
has housed troops since Napoleon's
day and before.
AS you stand at the door of the Y.
NJ. c. A. canteen, your view takes In
n asst field, all In m%onotOnes, brown
earth, brown tents, brown men against
n background Of green, under a bowl
OF sllvery blue.
The American flags are flying free
over the French casernes. Men, glad
TO stretch their sea legs, are drilling,
playing ball, running, walking. The
bands play gay melodies. SO great is
the rush for the canteen supplies that
the doors have to be closed frequently
TO facilitate the waiting.
A bugle note sounds high and clear.
Instantly every man on that immense
parade ground is at attention while
LA Marseillaise" and "The Star.
Spangled Banner" are played.
Fathers and mothers ask what wei.
fare work is being done at this port
for their sons. The Y. NJ. G. A. is busy.
1t aims first to attract and then hold
the boy until corrupt influences are
nullitied.

The mail Of more than $4,000 sol
diers in France is delayed and per-
haps ear never be delivered because
of incorrect addressing. While delays
due to this cause and to the fact that
the military authorities have objected
in some cases to furnishing civilian
postal authorities with information as
to the location of troops have been nu-
merous and d~isagreeable, nevertheless
Captain Frazier maintains they have
constituted a small part of the service.
which amounts to the delivery OF l.
600, 900 letters a day to the troops
abroad.
Three Weeks the Average Now.
Delays caused by military objection
to furnishing location of troops are
now being cured In a measure by CIV
ing such information to army officers
directing the mail service. Military
mail officials are nov provided with
transportation facilities that were de-
MED to the civilian service. Only In
exceptional cases does 1t take more
than three weeks for a properly ad-
dressed letter TO reach a soldier In
France who is attached to an organ
lied unit of the army. The great mass
of letters to and from the expedition

One of the causes of delay has been
duplication Of names. Another has
been that hundreds Of thousands Of
