JUST WHAT TEST
DO YOU MAKE?

Are you fooled by mere "taste" when
you choose your toothpaste, or do you
seek something to help your teeth?No
csndy-like, pleasant the-tongue
flavor can substitute for the unique
PEBECO taste,-it comes from the In
gredient which gives cleanness to your
teeth, the healthiest bloom to your
gums, plus a new cooling mouth feel
ing. 1t tastes "that way" because it
has a definite job to do. !. because by
stimulating the flow of saliva it helps
Nature correct mouth acids and retard
tooth decay. You want more in tooth
paste, try Pebeco.-Adpt.

SAVE FRUIT TREES
FROM MICE INJURY

Hundreds Of valuable fruit trees in
the state of Washington are girdled
every year by mice, says ]. T. Breg-
ger, extension horticulturist. This is
particularly the case in orchards where
the cover crop is heavy. Through the
cooperation of the state department of
agriculture and the extension service,
it is now possible to obtain already
prepared or formulas for poisoned
grain, through the nearest county
agent. Poisoned grain, 50 far, has
proved to be the only effective method
of controlling the rodent.
One Of the best ways of using the
poisoned grain is to place the bait
in small containers or stations which
will protect it from the weather and
also prevent the poisoning of birds
or other animals. The poison station
may be wide-mouthed jar or bot
tie, or small drain pipe. It should be
set at the base of the tree to be out
of the way of machinery and prefer
ably on high ground to avoid standing
water. In orchards where the mice are
abundant, station containing a heap
ing teaspoon should be placed at the
base of each tree. A level teaspoon
full of the poison grain placed in each
used mouse hole will also prove eff
fective.
The poison grain should be stored
in a dry, well ventilated place where
it will be out of reach of live stock
or irresponsible persons. It contains
strychnine which is very poisonous
both to men and livestock, and fatal
if taken in quantity. However if the
bait is used in the stations with the
containers previously mentioned there
is very little danger of poisoning
pheasants, quail, grouse or domestic
birds.
