Treatment for Book-Lice.

Dwelling houses, libraries, museums,
storeh6uses, barns, and other buildings
often harbor diminutive insects known
as book-lice. Out of doors they may be
found in all sorts of places as the trunks
of trees, on fences, wood lots, and refuse
of all sorts. The book.lice that occur In
houses have no wings and are seldom
more than one-sixteenth of an inch long.
They are pale colored, almost white
when young. As they gov older they
darken somewhat because of the food
they have eaten.
Book-lice do not attack men as do true
lice, and are Therefore harmless to the
occupants of the home. Usually they at
tract attention more from their annoy
ing presence than from the harm they
do, yet when they are found in great
numbers they may cause considerable
injury. They feed upon decaying tim
bers, feathers, and straw, hair, -four,
meal, wall paper, starchy paste, book
bindings and photographs. Book-lice
thrive best in closed rooms that are
warm and damp. Seldom are they motto.
en- in light siry rooms in constant use.
They die off in cold weather, but leave
eggs behind which hatch the following
spring.
Where only few book.lice are present
thorough cleaning and airing and dry.
ing of the room Is all that Ia needed pro-
vided the source of infestation is In the
room itself. Sun as many of the things
within the room as possible, and heat
the room to temperature of 1907 to 140e
for several hours. Book-lice are soft
bodied insects and succumb to drying
due to heat. If the source is an old
straw or husk mattress it should be re.
moved at once and burned wherever pos.
sible. Fumigation by sulphur is effect.
i've, but because of its bleaching effect
can only be used where this effect can be
disregarded.
In addition to cleanliness and plenty
of sunlight and heat, fumigation, wher-
ever it can be applied, may yield best
results If the source of infestation has
been removed.
