ton In the matter and we should decline

Miller-If the countries did not accept
the advice and did not go to war the
leagues remedy would lie in Its appeal
to public opinion. The league has no
power to make new boundaries except as
specifically stated In the treaty.
Mr.. Miller explained that the draft on

a composite prepared from various plans
by himself and c. J. ID. Hurst, legal ed-

promised to endeavor to get a copy of it

Mr.. Miller--It would be an invasion Of

Mr.. Miller insisted that the recon-
~mendation OF the council in favor Of

POISONING HOUSE ANTS

First find the trail to the ant nest.
for the nest itself, then destroy the
nest or place poison along the trails.
This is the advice the economic en-
tomologists of the College of Agricul-
ture are giving to the many house
wives who are writing about the un-
usually large number of house ants
this spring. The treatment is equally
effect for large or small black ants,
red ants, or the tiny yellow ants.
II the poison sweets are set along
the trails, the ants will carry poison to
the nest and feed it to the laying
queen and brood before they die of the
poison themselves. This will COM
plotely do away with the ants.
The poison mixture is 1 part of tar
tar emetic to parts of sugar dissolved
in 100 parts of water, or combined
with cold lard or some such grease so
that it will not evaporate rapidly. The
poison should be spread on chips of
wood or pieces of glass and placed on
ant trails out of the way of pet ami
NAL.
Where the trail to the nest Is easily
found the ants can be entirely des-
troyed by applying carbon bi sulphide
to the nest towards dusk, when the
workers are at home. With a stick
make three holes from three directions
on the edge of the nest and towards
the center. AS quickly as the stick is
withdrawn each time, pour an ounce
OF the poison and Immediately close
with damp earth so that neither ants
nor gas can come out. Wet sacks laid
over the nest will help hold fumes.
Carbon hi sulphide should be handled
carefully, as it is highly inflammable
Ant proof cupboards and removing
OF attractive food from the ranch of
ants will cause the ants TO stop work
ing in the house, as rule.
