A MOTH TRAP.
Tons of Insects Caught by Lure of
Light.
The fight of Massachusetts against
the gpysy and browntail moths has
been going on for years, and large
sums have been expended for spray
tag trees, destroying eggs and experi
menting with moth parasites. These
methods, however, have proved clum
sy and, ineffecient. They have em
phasized' the need of . a real and
economical exterminator, and thus
long sought boon seems to have been
discovered at last In the remarkable
electric light trap reported from Zlt
tan. Saxony. This apparatus in
portable form should be able to free
a large area from pests of moths and
caterpillars at comparatively smalV
cost. The trap includes two power
ful searchlights, and these are ar
ranged over powerful exhaust fans
which suck the air Into a deep recep
tacle. In the first trial the trap has
been placed at the top of the rnunlcip
al electric station. The reflectors at
night throw two great streams of light
upon the wooded mountain sides a
half mile away, and the effect has
been amazing. Lured along the
great white ways the moths have
come in fluttering armies. At a cer
tain distance from the reflectors the
draught from the fans ' catches the
dazed victims, which are then whirled
Into the pit beneath. The first night's
catch of three tons should mark a
new era.

Explosions from Machine Belts.
To show how great may be the
generation of static electricity In Ger
man factories, Prof. M. M. Rlchter
has drawn sparks an inch to an Inch
and a half long from a five-inch belt
on a wheel making 10,000 revolutions
a minutes. The risk of explosion in
dust or gases seems to have been
overlooked. Coating with bronze or
aluminum powder prevented static
charges, while a weekly application
of acid, free gycerine was a remedy
and added durability to the leather.
"THE PALE GIRL"
Did Not Know Coffee Was the Cause.
In cold weather some people think
' a enp of hot coffee good to help keep
warm. So it is for a short time but
the drug caffeine acts on the heart
to weaken the circulation and the re
action is to cause more chilliness.
There is a hot wholesome drink
which a Dak. girl found after a time,
makes the blood warm and the heart
strong.
She says:
"Having liyed for five years In N.
Dak., I have used considerable coffee
owing to the cold climate. As a re
sult I had a dull headache regularly.
Buffered from indigestion, and had no
life' In me.
"I was known as the 'pale girl and
people thought I was just weakly.
After a time I had heart trouble and
became very nervous, never knew
what It waB to be real well. Took
medicine but it never seemed to do
any good.
"Since being married my husband
and I both have thought coffee was
harming us and we would quit, only
to begin again, although we felt It
was the same as poison to ns.
, "Then we got some Postum.' Well,
the effect web really wonderful. My
complexion is clear now, headache
eons, and I have a great deal of en
ergy I bad never known while drink
ing coffee.
"I haven't been troubled with Indi
gestion since using Postum, am not
nervous, and need no medicine. We
have a little girl and boy who both
love Postum and thrive on it and
Grape-Nuts."

Truth and
Quality
appeal to the Well-Informed in every
walk of life and are essential to permanent
success and creditable standing. Accor
ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs
and Elixir of Senna is the only remedy of
known value, but one of many reasons
why it is the best of personal and family
laxatives is the fact that it cleanses,
sweetens and relieves the internal organs
on which it acts without any debilitating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
It acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as a laxative, and its component
parts are known to and approved by
physicians, as it is free from all objection
able substances. To get its beneficial
effects always purchase the genuine;
manufactured by tho California Fig Syrup
Co., only, and for sale by all leading druggists.
Safe Gasoline Storage.
Experiment has shown that gaso
line ( tanks are kept cool in the hot
test conflagration if they are buried
beneath twenty Inches of earth, and
Martini and Huenecke have mado
storage and distribution practically
safe by providing an underground
reservoir, with a special double de
livery pipe, and filling the upper part
of the tank with carbonic acid ga9
under pressure. This prevents the
formation of any explosive mixture
of Inflammable gas and air, as well as
explosion from expansion of vapor by
heating. The Inner pipe leads from
the bottom of the tank to the self
closing delivery cock, the liquid be
ing forced out by the pressure of the
inert gas; and the outer pipe stops at
the top of the reservoir, being there
fore, filled only with inert gas. In
a great fire in Berlin 30,000 gallons
of gasoline lay safely In an under
ground reservoir beneath ruins burn
ing for twenty-four hours.
EYESIGHT WAS IN DANGER
From Terrible Eczema Baby's Head
a Mass of Itching Rash and Sores
Disease Cured by Cntlcura.
"Our little girl was two months old when
she got a rash on her face and within (ire
days her face and head were all one sore.
We used different remedies but it got
worse instead of better and we thought she
would turn blind and that her ears would
fall off. She suffered terribly, and would
scratch until the blood came. This went
on until she was five months old, then 1
had her under our family doctor's care, but
she continued to arow worse. He said it
was eczema. When she was seven months
old I started to use the Cuticura Remedies
and in two months our baby was a differ
ent girl. You could not see a sign of a
sore und she was as fair as a new-born
baby. She has not had a sign of the eczema
since. Mrs. H. F. Budke, LeSueur, Minn.,

CARE OF HOUSE PLANTS.
Don't be afraid to scrub the plants
brought In for the winter. With a
brush, water, soap and an infusion of
tobacco every leaf and stem should be
scrubbed to remove Insects. The bath
room spray is excellent to use In the
rinsing, which should be thorough.
A frequent drenching and occasional
meals of flower food will make up to
the plants for the loss of outdoor life
and they will repay with vigorous
growth and bloom during the winter
months. American Home Monthly.
HOW TO FOLD THE WASH.
If articles of clothing, household
linen and underwear are properly
folded the ironing will be found much
easier. Spread a perfectly clean cloth
on the clothes basket and put all
articles ot the same kind together.
Spread the articles to be dampened
on the table, one piece at a time.
Sheets, pillow cases, towels and
plain underwear should be dampened
slightly, If at all. Tablecloths, nap
kins and all starched things should
be made very damp. A great deal of
time is saved and the work will look
much better If the articles are folded
perfectly even when dampened. Put
all hems, selvages and corners to
gether and fold.
Roll starched clothes In a cloth.
Now pack all neatly in the basket and
if the ironing is not to be done until
the next day cover them closely with
a cloth. Colored clothes should not
be sprinkled until an hour or two be
fore they are to be ironed.
The most satisfactory way to
sprinkle clothes is to use very hot
water and a whisk broom.
Iron the plain clothes and large
pieces first, as constant use makes ths1
irons smooth and the starched clothed
will iron nice if the irons are smooth,
HINTS FOR NEEDLEWORKERS.
A deep ruffle added to the lower
edge of the gingham aprons used in
the kitchen is a great protection. So
many grease spots seem to get on the
bit ot the dress showing below the or
dinary apron.
Shirt waists that wear through In
the back between the shoulders while
the fronts are still good, may be re
newed by having new backs put In.
In the same way, sleeves that go
through are renewed, and thus the
usefulness of embroidered and lace
trimmed fronts is prolonged for many
months.
The best method of putting on fas
teners is to sew them strongly to a)
stout piece of silk tape, hemming
these strips of tape closely to opening
after all the pressing Ib done. The
fasteners are apt to make shiny places
when pressing is done after they are
in place.
When the belt Is of silk It should
be cut on the straight goods, usually
two and one-quarter inches longer
than the size of the waist. This al
lows for seams and the lap. The
widths vary; very narrow for a stout
person, not more than half-inch wide
when finished, whereas a slim person
may have one an inch wide when
finished.
Tomato and Pineapple Salad One
slice ot pineapple placed between
two slices of tomato and served with
the mayonnalso on a lettuce leaf.
' Cracked Eggs To boil cracked
eggs, add a teaspoonful ot salt to the
water, and they will cook without
having any of the white come out.
Cherry Tarts Make a paste of one
pint of pitted cherries, one cupful ot
sugar and half a cupful ot water. Fill
tart shells nearly full with this mix
ture and serve with cream .
Cherry Brown Betty Put a layer
of finely chopped, well-sweetened
cherries In the bottom of a baking
dish; cover with fine bread crumbs
dotted thickly with bits of butter.
Put in more cherries, more 'sugar,
etc., continuing until the dish is full.
Have the top layer all buttered. Bake
slowly.
Colored Salads Are quite the
thing. The color is in the decoration,
green with nasturtium and cucumber,
red with tomato, yellow with egg or
nasturtium flowers, and blue with
larkspur. A pretty and novel dish Is
called Marguerite salad. Each plate
is arranged to rnke a flower with
crisp lettuce and a mound of mayon
naise in the centre makes the heart
ot the daisy. Around the centre ar
range narrow-cut strips of the whites
of hard-boiled eggs to represent the
daisy points. Mash the yolks through
a sieve and scatter over the mayon
naise to make the rough surface ot
the yellow centre. With care, this
may be made an attractive dish. '
A New Draft Animal.
Among the rapidly disappearing
wild animals Is the eland or Cape elk,
which is native of South Africa and

and is especially prized as furnishing

Important share of the farm work of
Cape Colony. The beast Is easily
captured, thrives under the new con

MrChekwe district ot Mashonaland
tj eland spans were used for a con
siderable time for drawing wagons,
proving docile and tractable. The
calves were born In captivity. The
animal seems to be proof against the
common diseases of farm stock, and
its flesh is desirable for beet and its
hide for leather.
EORA.T. IJf THE DAIRY.
A Blatter of Profitable Interest to the
Farmer and Dairyman.
The problem of keeping sweet all
the utenllls used in connection with
milk and cream selling, and butter
making, has been a serious one with
the farmer.
He has come to realize fully that
the slightest tnlnt or hint of stateness
loft In a can, tin or churn may ruin
a whole output; that the taint which
Is left Is in the form of bacteria
which grow and multiply In milk or
butter, producing disastrous results.
The farmer has learned that hot
water won't rinse away the greasy
residue In dalny utenslle.
He has learned that soap leaves a
residue of Its own which Is, if any
thing, worse than the milk or cream
residue, and it is little wonder that
there has been a constant clamor for
a dairy cleanser and sweetener thai
will meet modern requirements.
A few of the largest creamery es
tablishments have called experts into
consultation on this problem and have
with this scientific aid hit upon a
product of nature which exactly fills
tho bill borax.
Scientists have long known borax
as a cleanser, a sweetener and an
antiseptic destroyer of bacteria and
germ growths. Destroys all that is
harmful and promotes and preserves
freshness, sweetness and purity, re
lieving the dairyman and dairy house
wife of drudgery and ot aoedless
work and worry.
Its cheapness and value should gi-e
It first place in the necessities of
every dairy.
The cow's udder Is kept in a clean,
healthy and smooth condition by
washing it with borax and water, a
tablespoontul ot borax to two quarts
of water.
This prevents roughness and sore
ness or cracking teats, which make
milking time a dread to the cow and
a worry to the milker.
The modern cleanser of all dairy
utensils consists ot one tablespoon
tul of borax to every quart of water
needed. Remember a tablespoonful
equals four teaspoonfuls.
Be sure that- you get pure borax.
To be sure, you must get "20 Mule
Team Borax."
