PREVENTING AND
REMOVING MILDEW
FROM LEATHER GOODS.

Any leather article is almost certain
to mildew if kept in a warm, damp,
dark place, such as closet, cellar, or
stable. This mildew probably will not
seriously reduce the serviceability of
the leather, unless allowed to remain
on it too long. 1t may, however,
change the color appreciably thus in
juring the appearance.
The simplest way to prevent mildew
ing says the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, is to keep the
leather in a well-ventilated, dry, we'll
lighted place. preferably one exposed
to the sunlight Mildew can not make
much Roadway in the sunshine. When
midew develops, it should be washed
off with soap and warm water, or
simply wiped off with a moist cloth,
drying the leather well afterwards.
These simple measures are better than
the use of preparations to prevent the
growth of mildew.

RAT IS REAL MENACE
TO HEALTH OF NATION
Government Official Urges Gen.
eraI Campaign Of Extermina-
ton as Economic Necessity.

"The necessity of campaign of I'M
varying efficiency against the common
brown rat Is obvious" says w. Il. Bell
of the United States biological sur
veg.
mo other animal or insect is so dan
gerous and persistent an enemy. and
no other enemy succeeds in inflicting
the damage that the rat annually i'm
poses upon humanity.
"But the rodents enmity is far from
being satisfied by economic injury. A
frequenter of all the places that are
vile and loathsome. the rat is most
efficient germ carrier. The germs Of
the dreaded "black death" have 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 the rat flea. In India,
no longer ago than 1896. the bubOnic
plague killed 100000 persons. IN
