TIVE Cave Woman began the
l. battle with dirt and dust to
make her rocky retreat a fit habi-
tation. Her sisters throughout the
ages have been fighting the same
endless battle.
For two thousand years and more,
a, bundle of rushes on a stick has
been their cleaning mainstay.. The
modern broom is but a little advance.
Fortunately for the American
housewife, Science has come to the
rescue with great powerful, eco
nomical, cleaning service-the Elec-

Thus, although we live in an age
Of industry-of soft-coal, dust-rais-

our dwellings are easy prey to dirt,
laden winds, the Electric Vacuum
Cleaner is reducing the hours of
drudgery for the housewife, prolong-

n oRDON McCREAGH, explorer, is back
from South America, bringing with him
in a little black box thing that may free
you and me, in our moments of greatest pain ard
terror, from our deadliest enemy-fear.
This little black box reposes in a Philadelphia
laboratory. 1t is cherished as though it contained
the Hope diamond What it does contain is sim
ply 10 pounds Of sticks and leaves.
That is ali-1O pounds Of jungle roots
Yet $4,000 was spent TO get those roots; men
suffered and died, padded miles Of rivers and
crossed leagues of forest fought fever and beasts
and reptiles and the points of poisoned arrows,
just to wrench out Of the wilderness the juice
which given man before operation, may
make him laugh at Death, or, given eXpectant
mother. may take her painlessly through child
birth.
The roots make Caapi. And science believes il

Sussex Trappers Have
Poor MuSkrat Season

STAFFORD, Del, Jan. 28.-SusseN
county muskrat trappers are expert
encing q poor season. due principally
to the fact that the muskrat, as well
as all other fur-bearing animals in
this section, have been caught too
close in the past several seasons. All
trappers here say that this will be the
poorest season for them for several
years, and that It barely pays them to
continue trapping.
The prices being realized for musk
rat hides are from $3.50 to 81 each, &C
cording to the quality Of the hides.
While the prices were soaring during
the late war the muskrat and other
fur.bearing animals that thrive in
these waters were caught too close
and the trappers are now realizing
they made a mistake In taking 30
