The bedbug is normally nocturnal in
habits and displays certain degree
af wariness, caution, and intelligence
in it's efforts at conccalment during
the day. Under the stress of hunger
however, it will emerge from it's place
of concealment in well-lighted room
at night, so that under such circum-
stances keeping the gas or electric
light burning is not Il complete pro-
lection. 1t usually leaves it's vic
tim as soon as it has become engorg-
ed with blood and rctires to it's nor
NAL place Of conccalment, either in
cracks in the bedstead, especially if
the latter be one Of the wooden variety
or behind wainscoting, or under loose
wall paper. 1t thrives particularly in
filthy apartments and in old houses
which are full Of cracks and creviccs,
in which it can conceal itself beyond
easy reach.

tation peroxide of hydrogen or dioxy
gen may be used with good results.
In common with other insects which
attack man and warm-b -biodcd animals
1t IS entirely possible FOR bcdbug to
transmit contagious human diseases.
How to Get Rid Of Them.
Undoubtedly the most efficient
remedy for the bcdbug is to fumigatc
the infested house or rooms with hv-
drocyanic-acid gas. a bulletin Civ
ing directions for such fumigation has
been issued by the Department of Ag
riculture
The fumes of burning sulphur arc
also a very efficient means of control
where the conditions arc such that
TINS method can be used 1t readily
destroys insects in all stages, includ-
ing the egg. There is some risk of
injury to household fabrics. furnish
n%s, and wall papers from the strong
bleaching quality of sulphur fumes.
The danger will be somewhat dimin-
lshcd if the fumigaton can be done at
a time when the room or house is
thoroughly dried out. as in winter bv
furnace or other heating system.
Further precautions should be taken
by removing metallic surfaces from
the room or protecting them with a
coating of vasclinc. Two pounds of
sulphur are recommended for each

Expe:::ts or Theorists
Which?

The packing industry is intri-
cate, complex-far more so than
the railroads or the telegraph.
Every day multiplying needs
Of society increase its problems
and multiplying responsibilities
demand more Of it.
Highly trained experts, spec
ialists Of years experience,
thinkers and creative men, de-
vote their lives, their energies,
their activities, to solving the
problems Of the packing industry
and meeting it's widening duties.
Swift & Company is not few
dozen packing plants, a few
hundred branch houses, a few
thousand refrigerator cars, and
a few million dollars of capi-
tai, but an organization of such
men. It is the experience, in
telligence, initiative and activity
which operates this physical
equipment.
Can this Intelligence, this ex-
perience, this initiative and cre-
ative effort which handles this
business at profit of only a
fraction of a cent per pound from
all sources, be fostered through
the intervention of political
theorists, however pure their
purposes? Or be replaced by
legislation? Does Congress really
think that it can?

CALOMEL SAL|VATES
AND MAKES YOU SICK
Acts like dynamite on a sluggish
liver and you lose q
days work.

There's no reason why a person
should take sickening, salivating cal
omel when a few cents buys large
bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone-a
perfect substitute for calomel.
1t is pleasant, vegetable liquid
which will start your liver just as
surely as calomel, but it doesn't
make you sick and can not salivate.
Children and grown folks can take
Dodson's Liver Tone. because it is
perfectly harmless.
Calomel is dangerous drug. 1t
is mercury and attacks your bones.
Take dose of nasty calomel today
and you will feel weak, sick and
nauseated tomorrow. Don't lose a
days work. Take a spoonful of
Dodson's Liver Tone instead and
you will wake up feeling great. No
more biliousness, constipation, slug
gishness, headache, coated tongue or
sour stomach. Your druggist SAYS if
you don't find Dodson's Liver Tone

$2l Per Bale Loss on Cotton:
Build Warehouses Now.

In every cotton coutny farmers
should at once look into the ques-
ton Of better warehousing facilities.
THIS recent marked advance in cotton
prices show how great an advantage
is possessed by the grower who in
times of depression can warehouse
his cotton, borrow on the receipts,
and wait patiently on the Lord and
vindication.
The waste and folly OF leaving
cotton out in the weather have also
been illustrated in ten thousand
cases this season. Just for exam
pie, take the case OF farmer whose
experience we have just heard of.
lie left five bales of cotton out in
the weather last fall, and when he
vent to sell it recently, 400 pounds
had to be picked off as rotten cot
ton and sold for ten cents pound.
In other words, he got only $40 for
this 40C pounds when he should
have gotten S120, his loss being
$50. He also had to pay S. a bale
for packing and repacking the cot.
ton. Loss, S25. Total loss on these
two items, $105, or $21 per bale
S21 being about as much as whole
bale sold for twenty-five years ago!
And it is possible" said our
friend who witnessed the transact
tian, that the farmer also had to
take a half cent pound less for the
rest of the cotton than he would
have received for it if it had been
properly stored"
The saving from country dam
age" is only one of several advan-
tages offered .by the cotton ware
house, but this advantage alone
should insure the early establish
ment of great number of new
warehouses all over the South. =
