GUARD AGAINST FLEAS
Fleas will breed In carpets, cracks
in the floor or any other suitab.e
place where the eggs may drop. It
takes only 17 days from the time an
egg Is lald to produce a flea In good
biting conditlen., The Insects are
renowned in scientific clrcles as the
carrier of many diseases. The dog
flea sometimes carries eggs of a
tapeworm, which when swallowed
causes worms In dogs. Occasionally
tapeworms in children are caused
by dog fleas accidentally getting into
the mouths of the children
To guard against flea Infestation
of dwellings animal pets should be
frequently dusted with any Insect
powder made from dried pyrethrum
flowers. This Is harmless to ani-
mals and human beings, If a house
becomes infested the rugs, cracks In
floor and other likely breeding places
should be sprayed thoroughly with
any of the liquid spray Insecticides.

Adventurers’ Club
“Ironing Day Blues”
By FLOYD GIBBONS
Famous Headline Hunter,
HAKE hands, fellow adventurers, with a new member—Mrs. Mary
Elizabeth Meyer, who, like a good many other adventurers,
doesn’t believe it is necessary to travel great distances and penetrate
vast wildernesses to find excitement.
As a matter of fact, all Mary has to do when she 18 In the mood for a lit-
tle excitement Is to walk upstairs and take a look at that closet door—the one
that let her in for a lot of grief one Tuesday morning not so many years ago.
One squint at that door and memory brings back to Mary all the excitement
her system happens to crave at the moment. There's a story back of that, lads
and lassles—a story I know you'll all want to hear. And here is Mary herself
to tell it to you,
Tuesday, all over the country is ironing day, and that, among other
things, is what Mary was doing when old man Adventure caught up
with her. She had piled up a good-sized stack of neatly ironed linen
by lunch time, and then stopped to put a few things on the stove for
the mid-day meal. While lunch was cooking, she had a minute or two
to spare, and picked up the stack of already ironed linen, to carry it
upstairs to the linen closet.
The load was a heavy one and Mary was tired. Her feet dragged as she
climbed the stairs to the second floor landing, and she had trouble lifting the
bundle up to the shelf, As she raised it over her head, she lost her balance,
Her hand, reaching out to steady herself, hit the closet door and slammed it
shut.
Mary Finds Herself Locked In.
Mary finished placing the bundle on the shelf and turned to go. She reached
for the door-knob—and her hand slid along a smooth surface. Funny about
things like that. You can live In a place for years, and then run across seme-
thing In it that you never noticed before. In all the time Mary had been in that
house, she had never discovered that there was no door-knob on the inside of
that closet.
How to get out. That was the question. She was locked In a closet whose
latch worked only from the outside, She pushed and hammered with all her
might, but the door was too strong for her. It began to look as If she'd be
there the rest of the afternoon, for none of her family was expected home before
night,
Mary took off her shoe and began pounding the lock with her heel,
but beside putting a few dents in the heel, she accomplished nothing.
Then her little dog, attracted by the noise, began barking outside the
door. For a few moments he continued his howling, and Mary could
hear him jumping against the door. Then he ran away, to continue
his racket in another part of the house. He did that several times,
and then, to Mary's nostrils, came the acrid smell of smoke,
All at once there came to her an appalling explanation of her little dog's
antics. The house must be afire, and the little fellow as trying to warn her
of her danger. Locked in that closet Mary would b® burned to a cinder before
anyone came to her rescue, and the thought almost threw her into a it of

she might be able to

Her heart pounding, and her hands cold as ice, she began searching
the closet for some hard object that might be pressed into service as an
emergency jimmy. It was pitch dark in that cupboard, and although
she was pretty certain that there was nothing but linen and bedding on
the shelves, she examined every inch of them with her groping fingers.
She was about to give up when she thought of the floor, and, getting
down on her knees again, she began feeling about.

into it and gave another heave. This time she was rew irded with a crackling
sound, as the wood split around the lock. In another second she had the door
open again,
The upper floor was filled with smoke. Mary dashed down the
stairs and halted in the kitchen. No-—the house wasn't afire. But the
food Mary had put on the stove was just about burned to a crisp. It
was that burning food that had produced the smoke and also excited
her little dog, to say nothing of the way it had excited Mary,
