LEI FOX is

Red Fox was puzzled, for when he
arrived at the spot where he had seen
the Rabbits head bob up, there was
no Rabbit there. He shifted around a
bit and then caught sight of the Rab-
bits ears some distance away. Off he
went after him, at top speed. But
stranger still vas that which greeted
him when he reached the spot. Who
should he meet. face to face, but
Whistler the Woodchuck! He was not
expecting any such thing as this and
at first could hardly believe his eyes.
Il thought l. saw Young Rabbit"
said Red Fox.
II have no doubt about that" said
Mr.. Chuck as he sat on the edge of his
clover patch. but know Young
Rabbit doesn't always stay in the
same place. He's had all he wants
for the day and has gone in to his
home till evening"
"Gone hcme!" cried Red Fox.
"Well. I'd like to know how Ae came
here and got away again and 1 never
saw him enter the clover patch"
"Well.' said Mr.. Chuck, 'you must
understand that Young Rabbit is a
fast runner. and when he goes, he
goes quick"
"Ill show him who can run fast"
cried Red FOX, and OF he started to-
ward the briar patch. He ran as fast
as ever he could, so fast that he could
hardly dodge the great trees Of the
Forest. 1t did, not take long for him
to cover the distance. When he ar
! rived he was so surprised he nearly
fainted-for who should he see,
squatting peacefully in the briar patch
but Young Rabbit! 1t was a mo-
ment OF two before Red Fox could
speak a word. but he kept thinking
that Young Rabbit must surely be
some runner.
What have you been doing all Of
this time?" asked Young Rabbit.
"Doing!" exclaimed Red Fox. "I've
been running the whole blessed time
since l left here"
II thought you were such a fast
runner" said Young Rabbit
Red Fox looked puzzled. He had
done the best he could at running and
had lost out. His desire for fresh
rabbit for breakfast had gone. He
! was so ashamed to think he was out
done by this, young fellow hat he
didn't know what to do.
Young Rabbit was laughing to him
self, for he knew just how it was
done. And I'll tell you how it was
done if you promise never to tell Red
Fox. Tinker Bob is the only person

A preparation Of arsenious acid or
phosphorus, ten per cent, and suitable
base, as cheese, meat or glucose. are
the most popular pOisons. POisons I'M
doubleday have a certain efficiency in
Kidding a place of rats, but Whether
by causing their migration or their
actual destruction is somewhat diff
cult OF determination.
RAT proofing excludes rats from
the food supply and deprives them Of
harborage. Without this procedure it
is almost impossible to reduce the
rodent population.
I'm rat-proofing any building, the
following parts have to be- cOnsiGered:
Ground area, walls, ceilings, garnet,
roof, bed spaces in general, ventilat-
ors, abandoned sewers. doors, win
dows, outside piping, water and sew
erage pipes, down spouts, wiring and
air or light shafts. BY the omission Of
some small detail an otherwise rat
proof structure may become badly
rat-infested. .
1.-THE rat-proofing of floors of build
ings is secured either by elevation Of
the structure with the UNDERSTANDING
opening free or by marginal walls Of
concrete, stone or brick laid in cement
mortar sunk two feet in the ground,
fitting flush with the floor above. The
wal must fit tightly to the flooring.
Food depots are the greater i'm
portance in rat-proofng because they
furnish both sustenance and shelter
for rats. In this class of buildings are
stables, meat markets, retail and
wholesale groceries, bakeries, ware
houses, docks and wharves. These
places are best rat-proofed as to the
ground areas by the construction of
concrete floors and foundation walls.
Untenanted as they are at night time
rats might we'll enter doorways or
windows carelessly left open or be in
troduced concealed in the merchandise
and gnawing through plank flooring
obtain well protected hiding and
breeding places.
Rat Proof Buildings.
Double walls with dead space be-
tween should be- avoided or if used
should be rat-proofed at top n bot
tom with heavy wooden timbers. four
by four joist or by a concrete fill. At
tics should be we'll opened and kept
free Of dunnage Or other refuse for
rats.
Double ceiling should be avoided
especially so in Easements. Boxed in
structures, such as uprights and
roughly finished dwellings, plumbing,
kitchen sinks and the like should be
removed. Miscellaneous openings as
light shafts, ventilators' and windows
should be screened preferably by
twelve-gauge wire screen with mesh
not exceeding one-half inch. The

grounds about the buildings are to be
devoid Of rat ~harborage and premises
are to be kept clean and free of rub
bish."
In seaport cities, where the rare
species of the brown rat and "Alex-
andrian" rat prevail, health officials
are asked to make surveys to deter
mine the presence or absence of ro-
dent plague.
How to eliminate the more common
species, including the Norway rat,
barn rat, sewer rat. ray or wharf rat,
is described as follows:
BY starving him. through the use of
rat-proof receptables for food, and
covered metal garbage cans.
By %depriving him of breeding places,
through the abolition of planked yards
and passageways.
By refusing him admission to the
comfort of your buildings, through
rat-proof construction, and screened
basement openings.
BY killing him at every opportunity.
BY demanding city anti-rat ordi-
nances and state anti-rat laws.

wife OWES
HER LIFE TO TANLAC

until she lost fifty or sixty pounds in
weight and looked like a shadow OF
her former self. She was l%ow-spirited,
Respondent, and out of heart all the
time.
But soon after she started taking
Tana1ac we saw an astonishing
change in her condition. She a a
fine appetite now and cats three
hearty meals a day and never feels
the least sign of Indigestion. She has
already rcgained forty pounds of her
lost weight and her friends all tell her
she isn't like the same person. she
looks so much younger and better.
She sleeps at night like a child and
wakes up in the morning rested and
refreshed and can do her homework
with ease. I was so delighted with
the good Tanalac did my wife that l
took some of it myself, as l was not
feeling we'll, and it helped me Won
d~erfully.A From this time on, every
Eody at my house will praise Tana-
lac"
Tanalac is sold in Grand Forks by
Eold's Drug Store and the leading
druggists in every town.

fall. The trap should be placed where
ever rats have been accustomed to
come for feeding purposes and should
be more or less concealed, the snap
trap by scattering dust, corn-meal or
flour on or about them n the cage
trap by pieces of sacking. straw or
rubbish, leaving only the opening
free.
Highly savored articles, such as
cheese. and toasted bacon, will more
quickly attract rats than will food
without odor; but the idea hat a rat
can be enticed into a trap by the en-
ployment of bait more appetizing to
him than the surrounding food supply
is fallacious. To the rat, food supply
is n question of availability and pref
crence is a secondary consideration.
Poison is Used.
1.-THE destruction of rats by poison
has always been more or less in favor.

you see, Young Rabbit has a
brother that looks just like him. and
when he knew hat Red Fox wanted
to catch him. he told his brother about
it, and SO his brother went to Mr..
Chuck to see if he could stay in his
home for a little while. So when Red
Fox arrived at the clover patch he
saw Young Rabbits brother. And
when he vent after him. this smart
brother ran into Mr.. Chuck's home.
So Young Rabbit himself didn't run
at ALL"
Now, what do you think Of that?

FEATURE IN COTTON MARKET |SSTRENGTR
 OF OLDER POSITIONS

New York, May 1S.-The feature in the cotton market ,stoday was the strength of the old crop positions. These months were lower carly, but May notices estimated at 1900 bales, were evidently soon stopped, and May contracts sold up from 41.06 to 42.15, or 75 points above last nights closing figures and within 35 points of the seasons high record. That delivery closed at 421O, with the general mar ket closing steady at a net advance of 3 to 90 points
 The market opened barely steadJ and active months sold off shortly after the call. Reports of more fla vorable weather in the south led to a good deal of realizing or liquidation in new crop positions. The market then steadied on reports of light rains in the eastern belt, and the develop ment of more urgent demand from old crop shorts. Trading in the cur rent May position will end at noon Friday. The strength of May stimu- lated the demand for July.
 Port receipts today were II ,57a bales; United States port stocks l. 113,s95; exports 698, making 5,S02,375 so far this season.

Jewels Valued at
 Million Francs are
 Stolen on Vessel

Cherbourg, May 18.-It was learn ed today that large quantity of jewels, valued at a million francs, seized on the steamer Adriatc last Saturday as the vessel was about toi sail for New York, were taken from Madame Treadwell a sister of Ma dame Frances De Muma, who died re- gently at Neuilly.
 Madame Tredawell, according to the Adriatic's passenger list is ac- companying the body of Madame De Mumm, who was Frances Scovillc of Seneca, Kan, before her marriage to Baron Walter De Mumm, French wine grower of German birth, who re- sumed his German citizenship when the war broke out. His properties in France were seized and Madame De Mumm had her American citizen ship restored in October last to pro- tect her interest in them. The jew els taken from Madame Treadwell were deposited in tn bank of France, pending an investigation of their ownership. Madame Tredwell, ac- colding to the authorities, declared
 the jewels were her own property, but is said chat Baron De Mumm is
 attempting to hold them in France. f Further than this the police refus- 1 ed to discss the case, on the ground
 that it was family affair.

NEW YORK. SUGAR

New York, May 18.-The local mar ket for raw sugar continues strong and prices again advanced to new high levels under continued buying by re- liners prompted by the active inquiry for refined.
 The weekly cable from Cuba report ed rains with receipts last week much more than theprevious week, although exports were also much larger than the previous week and even in excess of the receipts.
 The days business included 12,500 bags to New Orleans for June ship ment at 22 cents, cost and freight 5O,OOO bags to operators for June shipment at 21 1-2 cents f. o. b. Cuba and a cargo to local refiners at P cents, cost and freight equal to 23.O7 for centrifugal with a further inquiry at 22 cents cont and freight. In refined there seems to be no let up in the demand, although business is handicapped to some extent by the inability of tefiners to handle it Prices are firmly held at 20 1-2 to 2e cents for fine granulated.
 There was pretty active trade ir sugar futures and while the undertone E was firm in sympathy with the fur ther advance in raws prices were ir regular and at times quite violent The opening was 10 to 45 points high CT on buying by trade interests ane towering, but prices soon weakened
