RAT PRooFING BUILDINGS.
Basement Windows and Drains Must Be
Screened or Rodents Will Get In.

So-called rat -proofed buildings with
unscreened basement windows, drain
pipes which are left uncovered for hours
at time, and single wooden street or
alley doors which are permitted to re-
main ajar are "rat-proof' in name only,
| says recent farmers bulletin of the
United States department of agriculture,
| House Rats and Mice" When rats or
mice once get into such buildings they
entrench themselves behind furniture or
stores and may be every bit as trouble
some as in buildings not claimed to be
rat proof.
To complete the rat proofng, the base
ment windows should be screened, rules
made and enforced to keep drains COW
cred, and self-closing, metal protected
doors installed. When practicable, vesti
bules with inner doors should be built,
since then one door will always be
closed. The lower edge of outer doors
to public buildings, especially markets,
should be reinforced with light metal
plates to prevent gnawing
Old buildings, even though of frame
construction, can be rat proofed, it is
pointed out. Small buildings may be ele-
waited so that there is at least Is inches
of clear space between the floor and the
ground. Rats cannot then find harboring
places beneath them. Structures built
close to the ground may be rat proofed
by having the space between sheathing
and laths filled with concrete from the
ground level up about foot, by having
all rat holes and openings around pipes
stopped with a mixture of cement and
broken glass, and by other similar meas
ures. The replacement of wooden floors
of porches, areas and sidewalks by floors
made of cement is often an important
measure.
If buildings in which quantities of
foodstuifs are stored cannot be made rat
proof, the materials may be protected
by placing them in cages built of strong
galvanized wire mesh.

FARM-LABOR SUPPLY.
More Efficient Plans Formulated for Solv-
ing the Problem Next Season.

The experience of the present year il
dealing with the problem of supplyin,
labor for Americas farms has been val
liable, according to the annual report OF
the secretary of agriculture. 1t was early
apparent, the secretary states, that il
certain sections there should be a marked
shortage of farm labor; that on account
of enlistments in the regular army and
through the operation of the draft law
difficulties would be experienced in many
| sections, and that the situation called
| for constructive action. The task was
presented of making the labor remaining
on farms more effective, of securing full
er cooperation among farmers, and of
placing on the farms urban and rural
labor not heretofore fully or regularly
employed.
Departments Cooperate.
The departments of agriculture and
labor and other agencies, Immediately
after the outbreak of war, undertook to
furnish assistance, and the war depart
ment held definitely in mind the thought
Of tightening the burden as far as pos
sible by not calling to the colors those
essential for leadership and direction.
Under the pressure of the first draft it
was difficult to work out satisfactorily
the underlying principle of selection. but
the operation of the new arrangement
recently announced by the war depart
ment should remove many of the
difficulties previously encountered.
Under the provisions of the food pro-
ducton act 80 farm labor agents have
been appointed, and they viii cooperate
with the department of labor and state
officials in dealing with the farm labor
problem. The whole situation was can
vassed at conference in ST. Louis on
Nov. Q and 10, and more efficient plans
were formulated for next season.
"The problem of the organization of
labor remaining in agriculture is of the |
highest importance, and it is essential |
that If possible IL be so perfected that |
there may be produced in this emergency /
as much as was formerly produced BY 1
he whole number of laborers and if pos
sible a greater quantity" the report /
says. Whether resort in the future
must be had to more drastic action on
he part Of the state and federal au-
horities viii depend upon the necessities
# the case. Consumption Of labor for in.
lustrial purposes would necessarily pre-
tent many difficulties. Powerful influ-
noes are operating to bring about the
elease of labor and capital from less
ssential enterprises and their diversion
INTO more urgent undertaking. These
yin become increasingly compelling a.

Unnaturalized Man, Born of German Par

Michigan City, Ind, Jan. s.-Fred c.
Miller, alleged enemy alien, assumed of.
fee as mayor of this city without oppo-
sition at noon yesterday. At that hour
no word had been received as to the prog
ress of injunction proceedings begun at
Valparaiso by persons who objected to
the installation of a German" mayor.
There was no disorder. Application for
temporary injunction to restrain him
from assuming Office was made before
Judge Loring at Valparaiso. The appli-
cation was by attorneys representing

Then Friday learn to do without,

BETTER THAN CAL0MEL
Thousands Have Discovered DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets are
q Harmless Substitute.

DIR. Edwards Olive Tablets-the substi.
tute for calomel - are a mild but sure
laxative. and their effect on the liver Ia
almost instantaneous. They are the result
OF DIR. Edwards determination not 90 treat
liver and bowel complaints with calomel.
His efforts to Danish II brought out these
little olive.colored tablets.
These pleasant little tablets do the good
that calomel does, but have no bad after
effects. They don't injure the teeth like
strong liquids or calomel. They take hold
OF the trouble and quickly correct il. Why
cure the liver at the expense of the teeth2
Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the
gums. So do strong liquids. II Is best not
to take calomel, but 10 let DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets take its place.
Most headaches, "dullness" and that
lazy feeling come from constipation and
a disordered liver. Take DIR. Edwards

heavy" Note how they "clear" clouded
brain and how they ''perk up" the spirits.

SUGAR WHOLESALE PRICE CUT.
Reduction of Seven Tenths of Cent a
Pound Established.

Washington, Jan. S.-A new price for
refined sugar has been established by the
food administration in effect yesterday
1t is S7.45 per 100 pounds, and repre-
sents very drastic cut from the SS.l5
figure hitherto prevailing.
This price is based on the new selling
prices agreed upon for Cuban raws. The
new Cuban crop will go at AGO cents a
pound. To this must be added freight,
duty and insurance expenses. The re-
finers have been granted a fixed margin
of 100 cents. The total of these costs
works out the equivalent of the 7.45
cents.
Unless the basis of 400 cents for Gu
ban raw is changed the 7.45 cents price
should be the wholesale price of refined
sugar during pretty much all of 1918.
