TRY THIS
FOR ANTS

A s an effective poisonous bait
"A for ants, moisten a sponge
or a piece of bread with a syrup
made by dissolving an ounce Of
sugar and ten grains Of arsenate
of soda In two ounces OF hot
water.
Some ants may even carry the
poisoned liquid back to the nest,
resulting eventually In the de-
struction Of the entire colony.
The employment Of this effec-
tive bait, II used with care, may
replace the applications of the
many insecticidal preparations,
which, principally on account Of
the odor they impart, cannot be
conveniently employed.
