BARIUM POISON BEATS
RED SQUILL FOR RATS

Paying fancy prices for rat poison
in which red squill is the killing in
gredient is a waste of money, ac-
cording to H. L. Parten, extension en-
tomologist at University Farm, st.
Paul, who is widely known in Mime
sofa for his effective rat killing de-
monstrations. Word has reached
University Farm that agents are
canvasing parts of the state, partic-
ularly the southwest, and peddling
red squill poisons under various trade
name at exorbitant prices.
1t is true, Mr.. Parten says, that
squill poisons have been widely used
for killing rats, but experience has
shown that it is very hard to secure
100 per cent determination or con-
troll with TINS substance because it
has a distinct odor and taste. Some
rats will eat enough of the poison to
make them sick, but having become
familiar with the taste and odor of
the poison will avoid it in future
making it impossible to exterminte
them. These soon multiply and pro-
duce reinfestation, so that but lit
tie is gained from attempts to clean
up premises with a poison Of the
red squill variety.
The most effective rat poison so far
found, and one which will give a
complete cleanup, is barium carbo-
nate, says Mr.. Parten. This is an
inexpensive chemical that can be
secured at any drug store. 1t has no
taste or odor and hence rats cannot
learn to avoid it. Complete instruc-
tions on how to use the poison and
the manner in which it's works may
be had from county agents or by
writing the Division of Entomology,
University Farm, st. Paul.

Summer following is one Of the
most effective practices for killing
weeds. One of it's advantages is that
it requires practically no outlay of
capital, about all that is required be-

of equipment which he already has.

LIGHT MY WAY
The Urge of Ambition.
BY REV. JOHN r. GUM.

"The foxes have holes and the birds
of the heaven have nests; but the Son
OF Man hath not where to lay His head"
Luke iX.58.
There is a sense in which these words
apply to every true man. No true man
has place to LAY his head" in ease
and contentment.
There are men who, like the foxes
and birds, have holes and nests with
which they are perfectly satisfied. AT
least, they never manifest any ambi-
ton to improve either themselves or
their surroundings.
A little higher up is another class
who now and then feel the stir of a
passion for something nobler and bet
ter. They have their high moods when
they are resolved to go on to greater
things. But the high mood soon passes
and a deadly indifference settles down
upon them.
The truest of men, those ranking
highest in the scale of manhood, are
those who are ever looking ahead and
continually pressing forward, urged on
by the ambition to attain higher stand
ards Of life and achievement. These are
fewest in number, but they are the lead
ers in the worlds march of progress.
Every man determines his place in
this classification. You need not be a
mere drifter, indifferently remaining
where circumstances have placed you
You need not be of the effervescent
class, bubbling over with enthusiasm to-
day and tomorrow becoming the victim
of indifference. BY the exercise of your
own will, and with Gods help. you can
join yoUSSelf to the ranks of those for
ward-looking men who, possessed with
a never-ceaSing urge to go on. are al
ways striving to better themselves and
to make the world better place in
which to live.

BY LOIS LEEDS.

and divide into strands. Warm some
olive Oil and apply 1t evenly to the hair
and scalp, using q small toothbrush or
a piece of absorbent cotton. Apply two
or three hot towels around the head
Turkish fashion. Leave the oil on the
hair half an hour or longer-the longer
the better. Then shampoo with plenty
Of warm water and a good lather, using
an abundance Of warm water for the
rinsing, also: the final rinse should be
In tepid water. Dry the hair between
warm towels and apply a tonic before
the hair Is quite dry and finish drying
by maSsaging the scalp with the finger
tips.
The following tonic Is a good one to
apply to scalp inclined to be dry:
Olive oil or castor oil, l ounce; cologne
water, drains; bay rum, 4 ounces:
tincture OF cinchona, / dram. Shake
well; apply after the shampoo and
twice week.
In these busy days the hair Is often
neglected, and this neglect ranks high
among the causes for hair being dull
and lifeless. II young people were
larry as they brush their teeth there
would be far fewer hair ILLS. Daily
massage Is quite essential to hair
health, for the scalp must be stimu-
lated in order to increase the circula-
ton and bring SUFFICIENT nutriment
there for the hair. Regular brushing
of the hair itself must also be consid-
cred. Many a woman realizes too well
that the real reason her hair has lost
its beauty is that the day is so crowded
she has let this task go-until some
more convenient time. In the end this
is really waste of time, however, for
it takes much longer to restore health
and beauty TO locks which have lost
their sheen than it does to spend the
few minutes daily In scalp massage and
hair brushing and thus retain the beau
ty which rightfully belongs to the hair.

Today in
Washington History
BY DONALD A. CRAIG.

January 20, 1859.-The officers OF
from the Atlantic States to the West
have been holding a private convention
at Wizards Hotel in this city for the
consideration of subjects of mutual in
terest. Efforts today to learn something
about the results OF the conference,
which adjourned last night, have result
ed in the disclosure Of very little, except
that apparently no harmonious conclu-
sion was reached concerning some of the
matters under discussion.
1t appears that one of the principal
topics of discussion has been the po-
sition assumed by the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad in reference to the maintenance
OF freight and passenger rates that give
the City of Baltimore important ad-
tantages in obtaining Western business.
The three other railroads aIe under
stood to have protested vigorously
against this practice.
The presidents of the Pennsylvania
and the New York and Erie railroads
are understood to have stated that they
have received strong protests from the
merchants of Philadelphia and New
York against keeping their rates above
those of the Baltimore &, Ohio Railroad,
the result of which is to divert trade
from those cities to Baltimore.
Mr., Garrett of the Baltimore & Ohio
Is declared to have expressed the deter
mination of his company to adhere to
It's Baltimore policy" the corner stone
of which has always been to protect the
mercantile interests of Baltimore against
the rivalry of her great sister cities on
1.-THE Atlantic Coast.
So far as can be learned the con-
ference adjourned without any ami
cable settlement of this question, leav-
ing the position of the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad unchanged.
The Senate today passed the bill, al
ready passed by the House, to provide
for lighting r-and-a-Half. Seventh
and Twelfth streets across the Mall with
gas" This improvement has long been
prayed for by the residents OF the sew
enth ward. They have been so anxious
for lights through the Mall that they
have been willing to pay for them out
OF their ward fund. But when an act
Tor that purpose was passed by the City
Council in 1857 1t was vetoed by Mayor
Magruder on the ground that the United
states owned this property and should
pay for the lights.
The Washington Gas Light Co. will
proceed, as soon as the order is given
by the commissioner of public build
1ngS, to lay gas mains on Seventh and
Twelfth streets and generally through
out the Island, so that modern lighting
will soon be enjoyed by this section of
the city.

HumiliatiOns of Great Americans
Andrew Jackson Came Out Second Best in
Encounter with Benton.
By J. r GLASS.
BY J. p. GLASS.

Probably even Andrew Jackson con-
sidered that he had come out of the
affair with Thomas H. Benton and his
brother Jesse rather ingloriously. 1t
almost had fatal consequences for him.
Jackson organized militia force for
service against Great Britain in the
War OF 1912. He made his young friend
william Carroll, who had come out to
Nashville from Pittsburgh, brigade in
spector.
Carroll proceeded to arouse a flock Of
enemies. Jesse Benton soon challenged
him to duel. He went to Gen. Jack
son at the Hermitage to ask him to
serve as his second
I'm too old a man." said the gen
eral. But when Carroll put up the plea
that his enemies were seeking to drive
him out of the country, he relented,
Carroll was his friend, he said, and be
damned If the scoundrels would drive
him out of that section as long as he
was in it.
The duel turned out to be a ridicu-
louS affair. Carroll was wounded in a
thumb, while Bentons injury was such
that he was unable to sit down for a
long time.
Thomas H. Benton was in Washing
ton on legal business in behalf of Gen.
Jackson when he heard the news. He
became bitterly angry at the general for
the part he had taken In the affair.
His public declarations soon brought
"Old Hickory to the warpath.
by the eternal" he swore, "I'll
horsewhip Tom Benton the first time 1
lay eyes on him.
1t was on Saturday, September 4, 1918,
when jackson finally encountered Ben
ton in the streets of Nashville. He and
his friend, Col. John Coffee, had Just
been to the Nashville post office for
their mail. Next door Thomas H. Ben
ton. standing in the doorway of the
City Hotel, lounged in wait for the en-
counter. jackson, a riding whip in his
hand, walked up to him.
Now, you rascal" he shouted, IT am
going to punish you'll Defend yourself"
Benton thrust hand toward an in
side pocket of his coat. In a flash Jack
son covered him with a pistol.
Benton retreated backward into the
hotel and across the main floor toward
a porch at the rear. Perhaps this was
q trick. At any rate, Benton had gone
out by the rear door and Jackson was

If you need not go on some special
