Whence do all the beetles, ants and
flies come that swarm about the house.
and particularly In the kitchen and
larder? And what is the best way to
get rid of them? These two questions
are always very much in the minds Oh
householders.
The FIRST Is not easy to answer Inc
intrusiyeness of beetles and COCK
reaches is something uncanny. They
are found down deep mines, and they
appear In new ships the moment steam
is raised. Wherever there is moist
heat there they come quickly.
The entry of ants into house Is
often traceable to some opening near
the ground, such as ventilator.
Moths come in through the open WIN
dows after the lamps are lighted WIN
dows closed or guarded by mosquito
MEETINGS after lighting up time should
keep them out.
The ant Is, of course, Intelligent.
But ground rice, 1t is said finds his
weakness. Sprinkle the rice In his
track, and he will eat of It greedily.
Then II sweIls within him and kills
him. But the rice must not be thrown
down on a wet floor or it will swell
before he eats it. and he will come TO
no harm.

EVELYN WOOD glanced up from

through the room to his private office
He gave her the customary pleasant
greeting with just little longer look
from his dark eyes that always dis
turbed her. 1t was rather hardship
for her when the firm of lawyers,
Petit & Petit, for whom she had
worked three years. took another man
into the hrm-a junior partner, and
none other than Jim Brayt0n who
wanted to marry her. AS Evelyn had
refused to marry him, and was now
engaged to Arthur Lane, young doc
tor, It was exceedingly awkward to be
obliged to work for James.
This morning Brayton had scarcely
reached his room before the brxzer
sounded. Before she could gather
book and pencils 1t sounded again,
louder, insIstent.
