Roach Nuisance Can Be
Reduced BY Cleanliness

Reaches will not frequent rooms I'M
less they find some valuable food ma
terial, says the United States Depart.
ment of Agriculture. If such mate
rails can be kept from the living
rooms md offices, or scrupulous care
is exercised to see that no such ma.
terial is placed in drawers where it can
leave an attractive odor or fragments
of food, the roach nuisance can be
restricted. Thorough-going cleanli.
ness will go a long way toward pre-
venting serious annoyance.
The most efficient remedies for the
control of reaches are powders, par
ticularly sodium f1uorid, a liberal dust
ing of which about the premises will
furnish a sufficient means for the
elimination of the pest. The sodium
fiuorid should be blown into the
.crevices with a dust gun or blower.
The immediate effect is to cause these
to come out of their retreats
and rush about more or less blindly,
showing unmistakable signs of dis
comfort, to be followed in a few hours
their death.

CUCUMBERS COOKED

prepared by the United States Department
OF Agriculture)
Cucumbers are excellent as a cooked
vegetable, suggests the United States
Department of Agriculture, though
many people do no know or use them
in this form. To prepare them for
cooking, peel them, cut lengthwise or
crosswise or both, and scoop out the
seeds. They are tender and delicious
if steamed in a colander or steamer
and served with a white sauce like
sliced carrots or turnips, kohl-rabi,
Jerusalem artichokes, or asparagus.
Baked halves of c%ucumbers stuffed
with line bread crumbs from the cen
ter of the loaf which have been sea-
soned with salt, pepper, and onion
juice, or q little chopped onion, are APP
preciated as much as stuffed eggplant,
peppers or tomatoes.
The cucumbers may be mashed after
steaming or stewing in a very little
water, seasoned with butter, salt and
pepper, and served in the same way
as yellow or white or hubbard squash.
L~engthwise halves of peeled cucum-
Der may be rolled in flour and fried

When Used as Vegetable
CeIeriac Is Best Liked

Celeriac is known also as 'knot cell
cry or 'turnip-rooted celery" the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture states. The roots, which are
about the size of a white turnip, and
not the stalks are eaten. They are
more often used as a vegetable than
as a salad. Prepare the celeriac by
pairing and then cutting it into thin,
narrow slices or dice. Put into cold
water. Drain from this water and
drop into boiling water and boil thirty
minutes. Drain and rinse with cold
water. Make a white with one
tablespoonful Of butter, one tablespoon
full Of flour, one-half t~easpoonful of
salt, and one cupful Of milk. When
smooth and well cooked add the
celeriac.

POISONED SIRUP GOOD
FOR DESTROYING ANTS
Precautions Should
Be Used With Bait.

| prepared by the United States Department
of Agriaulture.)
An efficient remedy for household
ants, according to the bureau of en-
tomology of the United States De
partment Of Agriculture, is strip
poisoned with arsenate of soda, if it
can be used safely. The greatest pre-
| cautions should be taken in preparing
this strip and in safeguarding it
afterwards from human beings or do
nestle animals. Ants will carry the
only they, but the stay-at-homes are
reached by the poison.
The formula for the preparation of
the poisoned strip is as follows: One
pound of sugar dissolved in a quart of
water, to which should be added 125
grains of arsenate of soda. The mix
ture should be boiled and strained,
and on cooling used on sponges. The
addition of a small amount of honey
is said to add to the attractiveness.
The first step in the control of hts
in the house is the removal of all at
tractive substances wherever prac-
teal. Ants like sweet, starchy food
materials, especially cake, bread,
sugar, preserves, sirups, and even
meat. BY cleaning up promptly all
food crumbs scattered by children,
keeping all shelves and corners clean,
and storing food supplies in ant-proof
p1occ ar Ain Noon+oipnrc ~. ~ +;rI+1-
closed iceboxes, the ant nuisance may
be largely limited. Daily supplies only
of foods likely to attract ants should
be purchased.
Entomologists Of the department
have found that most of the repellents
considered effective, such as camphor
and n~aphthalene fakes or powdered
moth balls, are of little benefit. If the
Of the tats can be located by fol-
thu workers back to their

infammable and should never be
used ear fire. If food and other con-
ditions continue to attract ants and
favor their continued breeding in the
house, such control measures are of
only temporary avail.
The collection of ants by the use of
attractive bats is frequently recon-
mended, but unless the bait is poi
soned as previously described, it is of
doubtful benefit. Small sponges
moistened with sweetened water will
attract many ants. The sponges can
collected several times a day, and

sponges moistened with borax and
dissolved in boiling water to
poison the ants is also sometimes rec

Effective. The distribution of sweet
,aits which do not actually kill the
lnts often results in increasing their
numbers.
