WAR ON RATS
Government Points Out Great Menace
Of Rodents.

OF Rodents.
Intensive warfare on the rat has
been declared by the Biological Sur
yey, United States Department OF Ag-
riculture, and the call has gone out
for volunteers to help eliminate the
pest. In urging swift death to the ro-
dents the department presents the fol-
lowing bill Of particulars:
No other animal is so persistent
or dangerous an enemy of mankind;
no other succeeds in intlictiEg so great
and continual damage.
A rat in the field, the house, the
barn, or the store costs, on an aver
age 81 q year to maintain.
There are as many rats in the coun-
try as there are men, women and chill
dren.
Two hundred million dollars worth
of foodstuffs is devoured n Nually in
America by the rat; an equivalent OF
200 900 men devoting all their working
time to producing the things the rat
destroys or defles.
Aside from the economic loss of in
Jury, the rat is most efficient germ
carrier. 1t frequents all the places
that are vile and loathsome. The
germs of the dreaded black death haV"
killed more human beings than all
the wars of the worlds history, and
these germs are introduced into the
human system by the bite of rat flea.
In India no longer ago than 1896
the bubonic plague killed 100000 per-
sons. In Europe, during the four
teenth century, it is believed to have
brought death to 25,OOO,OOO human be-
ings.
Other diseases almost as dreadful
are traced to the common rat. Thus
from the standpoint of public health
as well as from the necessity of con-
trolling the drain upon the pubic
purse, it IS essential that the rat be
exterminated. Once the determination
is complete. or as nearly so as mod
ern methods will permit, every pre-
caution must be taken to prevent the
rat from multiplying and regaining
lost ground.
"Trapping should he dore contin-
uously and Systematically at all rat
infested places" says the department.
RAT poisons especially bats treated
with barium carbonate as recently de-
veloped by the Biological Survey,
should be employed. In fmthering the
destruction of the rat, community or
civic organization is Of the greatest
importance 1t does no good TO drive

 How else can we circumven4 vir- ginia? She has defied you, hasn't she?" I asked with an information I suppose I inherited straight from other Eve.
 Jim whirled on me as angrMy as if it were who had dehed him.
 Virginia jolly we'll told me to mind my own business" he said. And she said a few things about Evvy Mason and the type of man who could let himself get involved with a girl like that which were well, rather personal. and not very flatter- ing. He thinks Pm no more fit to be Phoebe's adviser or brother for that matter, than Neal is to be her hus- band. Virginia is getting about twice ass our as an odd maid on the old fashioned comic valentines"
 "Jim, you haven't quarre1led ser iously with Jennie?" I gasped
 What did you think meant when told you I was through with Vir- ginia Dalton?" asked Jim.
 "I though you had a-spat," I said slowly, feeling my way toward a real ization of facts.
 "Yes,'' sneered Jim. .The same kind of a spat Pat Dalton and Vir- ginia had. But you don't think he is ever going to speak to her again, do you?"
 "Oh, Jin." I cried, Poor Virginia poor, poor proud Jeanie. I'm sure she still loves Pat. I've always felt he cared for her still-and that some day, through me, perhaps, they'd make it all up.''
 "Oh, you did? We'll. little Cupid, forget it. And put this in your femi- nine equivalent for a pipe and do you; substitute stunt for smoking it. Pat will look at Virginia again when water starts running up hill. And I'll speak to her the day after he does. i And if you knew some of the things i she said you'd not look at her again ! till about the day after that "Oh, I can guess,'' I replied with 1 equaninity that surprised part of me. 1 ''It was about the family you'd mar 1 ried into-and one alliance with that bourgeois bunch being enough, But 1 I'll forgive poor Jeanie for her blind ness, if only you'll forgive her. Forgive her nothing." shouted Jim. "f you haven't any pride I ! have"
 l Enough for two." I laughed. but again Jim interrupted me with fash
 "You know that idea of yours wasn't half bad. TN see young Neal tomorrow, and put the idea into his 1 head. It's the only way" 1 Then he stopped No I can't do i that.

 "Oh. Jim-tI didn't mean it. didn't take time to think It wouldn't do," I protested

women may be seen on the streets practically walking on their ankles. Is this pretty? Do their feet look nice? Walk behind some of them and decide.
 Another harmful fashion is that of walking with the toes point out ward. Unless deformity exists, our legs extend straight downward and the toes naturally point straight ahead. or nearly so.
 Frequently I have heard children advised Point your toes outt Don't walk like an Indian" Nothing could be more silly. I do not know the origin of this idea, but it certainly did not emanate from one having much knowledge of human anatomy. Pointing outward is conducive to foot strain and weakness of the arch.
 A good exercise for strengthening the foot muscles and arches is to stand with feet near each other, toes pointed straight ahead; raise the body on the toes as high as possible, lower and repeat until weary. Do this sev- eral times every day for some months.
 Arch supports do not strengthen arches, but they give some relief to persons physically unable to exercino their own muscles.

TODAY-S INSTALMENT.

We passed down the passage, which was of the same length as that which led to the garden. At the end was short flight of steps ending in door. Our guide knocked and then ushered us into the Professors bedroom.
 It was a very large chamber, lined with innumerabie volumes, which had overfiowed from the shelves and. jay in piles in the corners, or were stack The bed was in the centre of the room. and in it. propped up with pill lows was the owner of the house. l have seldom seen a more remarkable looking person. It was a gaunt, aouiline face which was turned to- wards us, with piercing dark eyes, which lurked in deep hollows under overhung and tufted browS. His hair and beard were white, save that the latter was curiously stained with vel low around his mouth. A cigarette rlowed amid the tangle of white hair. and the air of the room was fetid with stale tobacco-smoke. As he held out his hand to Holmes, I perceived that it was also stained with yellow nico- tine.

Mrs L.-'Is there any furniture polish that can apply to scratched cracks? I have seven children, so my furniture has had wear. I have heard that linseed oil is good. Is this true?''
 Answer.-Buy some crude oil and apply it It not only darllens cracks. but gives a nice polish. Lipseed oil will produce the same results but is apt to be sticky afterward. so I would advise you to use the crude oil.
 Miss O. o.-"Can you tell me what to do to prevent garments in my hope chest from becoming yellow with age?''
 Answer.-Wrap them in blue tissue paper If any have already become yellowed. however. you should laun- der them (use no starch) before wrap ping them in the blue tissue
 Housekeeper Reader.-'swhat is the matter with my vinegar? It seems to have little threads in it.
 Answer.-These hair-lille organ isms are called vinegar eels'' and if left in will destroy the vinegar. They can be~kiIled by heating the vinegar to 140 degrees Fahrenheit.
 Mrs E. E. T.-'Could you tell me how to make a cheap white wash that will not rub off ?''
 Answer-It is the nature of white wash to rub off, in time. The follow ing formula is a good one:
 How to Make Place 10 pounds of quicklime in a pail and pour over it gallons of water. Be sure the measurements are correct, as the success of the solution depends upon this. Cover the pail and allow it to stand an hour or two before using.
