Trunks, wraps and travelling bags
may furnish a means of transporting
bedbugs into the house. Not infre-
quently they gain access to impeccably
clean premises in the laundry basket.
Sometimes they migrate from one
house to another, or from n apart
ment to another along heating or wa
ter pipes. The only Odium attaching
to the discovery Of q bedbug Is fall
ure to take immediate steps to eradi-
cate II, with all It's possible progeny.
Outside OF the question Of personal
discomfort caused by their bites, bed
bugs are possible carriers Of disease
and therefore are dangerous house
mates.
Bedbugs hide in the daytime In
cracks in the wall or wood trim Of the
room, under wall paper, in joints Of
the bedstead or spring, in the tufts
or binding of the mattress. They come
out at night in search Of food, which
is human blood. The same bedbug. 1t
is believed, bites only once in from six
to ten days, retiring to digest its enor-
nous meal in quiet more bites indi-
cafe a serious infestation which should
be promptly dealt with.
Fumigation Is Effective.
FumigatiOn of a badly infested
house or room with hydrOcyanN-acid
gas Is the most efficient remedy. but
owing to the deadly poisonous nature
of the gas this method must be used
only by careful and weil-informed per-
sons. Farmers Bulletin 500 gives di:
rections for this kind OF f~umigation,

available upon application to the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture as long as the supply lasts.
The fumes Of burning sulphur are
recommended as a remedy under some
conditions. They readily destroy the
insect in all stages, including the egg
There Is, however, some risk of injury
to hanglngs. wall papers and fabrics
from the strong bleaching quality Of
sulphur fumes. FOrmalin gas and
the vapors Of benzine, napthaline and
camphor, which are sometimes used,
are Of little value and insect powders
are not effective because they do not
get into crevices.
Best Simple Control Method.
The best simple method Of control
Is a liberal application of benZlne,
kerosene or gasoline, introduced with
small feathers or brushes or injected
with syringes into all crevices of beds,
furniture or walls where the insects
might be concealed. The Dashboard
and picture molding Of the room
should be given attention and also the
backs of pictures. Corrosive sublimate
and oil Of turpentine may also be used
in this way. Many Of the commercial
remedies offered for sale contain one
or another of these ingredients. Hot
water will destroy both bugs and eggs
If it can be used without damaging the
furniture.
The most important part OF the cam
paign against the pest Is a daily in

from the stretching board, remove it and turn 1t fur side out and re- place it on the stretching board and leave until thoroughly dry.
 To dry the pelt, place it in a cool, dry place that has plenty of air, In cold, dry, frosty weather the skin may be hung out to dry. This meth cd will give the best results if the weather will permit the drying in this way. It is better along the coast of Alaska, British Columbia, Washington and Oregon where the weather is moist, to use artificial heat, than to depend on the skin freezing dry as they will do in the interior dry cold sections. Every part of the skin should be drying forty-eight hours after the animal is skinned.

BUILDING Of n { "
RAILROAD MEANS
BOOM FOR GADSDEN
Terminal Facilities At Both
GadSden and Chattanooga
Will be Enlarged
GADSDEN BUREAU
THE AGE-HERALD
Cadsdeu. Ala, April Z

While President c. z. James is
making no official announcements
concerning his plans to extend the
Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia rail-
road from Gadsden to Margaret or
Odenville. in st. Clair county. to con-
meet with the Seaboard Air line into
Birmingham, 1t is known that he IS
making progress toward that END.
Within the past few weeks he mas
made deals that will insure enlarge
ment of terminal facilities at both
Gadsden and Chattanooga, and it is
reported that his efforts to finance
the project have been successful thus
far. Within the next few weeks, or
when more favorable weather sets in,
1t is almost certain that work on the
extension will begin.
The Tennessee, Alabama and Geor-
gia is reported to be signing con-
tracts for freight connections at both
ends of the line and to be completing
other preliminaries In the direction
Of creating a real railroad. President
James has stated time and time again
that he would build and operate a
first class line between Chattanooga
and Birmingham or would junk what
ne had.
Great Boom For Gndsden.
Much the largest industrial deNel-
ppment the Gadsden district has ever
known, it is predicted, will follow
the completion of the extension, as
the lack of transportation has been
the chief drawback to the section
that will be opened to commerce.
Some large coal mines will be opened
IN st. Clair county. and 1t is the belief
IN industrial circles here that the
coal deposits of Lookout mountain all
che way from Gadsden to Chattanooga
will be given thorough exploration.
This was the plan of Russell Sage.
Henry l.. Lamb and Gen. w. H. Hub
bard, who were the original backers
ef the railroad, and it is likely to be
karried out when the James interests
get full control and are operating
their road to trunk connections.
