SUMMER PESTS.
Getting Rid of Them Is One of a House
wife's Tasks.
If you suspect that bedbugB are In
your bedspring first remove all the bed
clothing, but do not take from the
room, as that will only scatter them,
and then with your favorite Insecticide
In an oil can with a long spout go care
fully all over the spring, paying Bpeclal
attention to the corners. Arjr kind of
Insecticide will do provided it has a
strong odor. Some prefer gasoline,
for three reasons—first. It la inexpen
sive, so can bo used lavishly; it does
not soil or stain the bedclothes, carpet
or furniture, and the disagreeable odor
soon disappears. Do not forget, how
ever, Its extreme inflammability and
never use In a room containing a light
or a flre and do not even strike a match
until at least thirty minutes after us
ing. After going carefully over the
spring with your can cover all over
with a large sheet. Be sure the sides
and ends are covered. In about ten
minutes examine the sheet and you
will find the bugs have left the odorous
springs and are on It. Bear In mind,
however, that at least tralf of these
bugs have left a small unhatched fam
ily, and it will be necessary to repeat
this process several times for at least
two weeks to entirely clean them out
Filling In Crack*.
One of the bits of repair work that
need occasionally to be done in the
house is the filling up of cracks in the
walls Or baseboards. Cracks should
always be filled promptly. Putty, plas
ter of paris, sawdust and glue are all
good fillers for cracks of different sizes
and in different places. Any o< them
may in time wear out and need re
newal. Very thick paint is a good
filler. Putty is whiting mixed with lin
seed oil, and if applied to unfinished
wood the inner surfaces of the crack
or hole should first be touched with
shellac. If this is not done the oil
from the putty will be absorbed and
make a risible line or ring. Perhaps
wax is better.
By the handy man or boy or by the
woman who can use a few tools fairly
well large cracks can better be filled
with small wsdges of wood driven in
tightly. These may be so well filled
and matched In color that they will not
be noticed.
The Fragrant Bath.
Every one knows the comfortable
feeling which results from a hot bath
after a hard day's work. That feeling
is enhanced when the bath is made
fragrant by the addition of a muslin
bag of powdered orris root, about a
tablespoonful in a bag, and a dessert
spoonful of tincture at benzoin, which
is a balsam.
The aromatic and perfumed atmos
phere that reigns in your bathroom as
the result of this herb and spice mix
ture is delicious, soothing and mildly
stimulating.
Cracker Diah.
There is a dish for crackers, cheese
and Jam that delightfully suggests
crackers, cream cheese and strawberry
Jam or bar le due Jolly, either of which
combinations forms a fitting finish to
the light veranda luncheon.
WHERE NEW YORKERS HIT THE SAWDUST TRAIL

DAY COACHES FOR TROOPS.
I Sleeper* Not to Be Provided Under
War Condition*.
Washington.—It is announced by the
secretary of war that standard Pull
man and tourist sleepers will not be
used for the transportation of troops
under ordinary conditions during the
war. Day coaches hereafter will be
used on the basis of one officer to each
double seat and three inen to each two
double seats. The new order applies to
all cases except journeys of unusual
length, covering more than one night
and one day, which cases will be sep
arately considered when they arise.
It Is explained that the new regula
tion is necessary owing to the limited
number of sleeping cars available for
troop movements and to the congestion
that would arise on transportation
lines if sleepers had to be collected for
every large movement of troops. More
over. by doing away with sleepers, It
Is declared, the number of cars neces
sary to handle the movement la de
creased by one-qliarter.

narl, formerly Spanish diplomat In the

mission in the officers' reserve corps
from Maryland and has virtually been

Lieutenant Elliott, chief examining

a mau of thirty. Mr. de Potestad's fa
ther represented the Spanish govern
ment during the settlement of the Cu
ban claims after the Spanish-American

POMEROY CONSENTS TO WORK
Notorious Life Convict at Last Mingles
With Other Inmates.
Boston.—Jesse Pomeroy, the state's
notorious life prisoner, abandoned his
objectious to the revised terms of hia
sentence and for the first time in forty
years mingled with his fellow inmates.
He has been put to work.
When Governor McCall and his coun
cil last January commuted that pro
vision of Pomeroy's sentence which
stipulated that he should spend his
days In solitary confinement Pomeroy
objected to the change that made him
liable to labor. His refusal to work
was punished with twenty-four hours
In a dark cell and a diet of bread and
water, but he declined to yield until
recently.
CURED BY LIGHTNING.
Sufferer From Rheumatism Says He la
Wsll Now.
Indiana, Pa.—A sufferer from rheu
matism each winter for the past fifteen
years, Walter Lorlng of Rayne town
ship believes that he was permanently
cured of the disease by a stroke of
lightning. While sitting in his home
during a severe electric storm, the
house was struck by lightning, and
both he and his wife were rendered un
conscious. It was with difficulty that
they were revived.
Lately he has not been troubled, and
he believes the rheumatism was burned
Out of his system by the electricity
which passed through his body.
PROTECTS ENLISTED MEN.
Bill Will Prevent Slight to Uniforma
Anywhere In United 8tates.
Washington. — Representative John
Jacob Rogers of Lowell, Mass., Intro
duced a bill in the house to prevent
discrimination against enlisted men
wearing the uniforms of the military
or naval forces of the United 8tates in
places of public entertainment.
A similar law enacted in 1006 pre
vents such discrimination in the Dis
trict of Columbia and in the territorial
possessions of the United States. The
Rogers proposal would make this law
effective in all states as well. The
measure will have the support of the
administration, it is stated;
"George, IH bet you've forgotten
what day this is?"
"No, I haven't It's either our wed
ding day or your birthday. It always
is one or the other when you want to
make a bet like that"—Exchange.
During a social evening a woman
ung for the guests. One of the guests
turned*to a meek
looking little
man sitting at
his side and said:
"H o w awful!
Who can she be?"
"That," replied
the man address
ed, "Is my wife."
"Oh, I b-b-beg
your pardon!"
stuttered the oth
er. "She's really
a—I know she'd
sing beautifully If she made a better
selection of her music. Who do you
suppose wrote that song?"
"I am the author of that song," re
plled the meek looking little man.
ANOTHER WONDER OF SCIENCE.
Biology linn Proved (lint Dsndraff to
Conned by n Germ.
Science Is donlg wonders these days In
■nedlcine as well as In mechanics. Since
Adam lived, the human race has been
troubled with dandruff, for which no hair
preparation has heretofore proved a suc
cessful cure Until Newbro's Herplcide was
put on the market. It is a scientific prep
aration that kills the germ that makes
iandruff or scurf by digging into tho
Scalp to get at the root of the hair, where
tt saps the vitality; causing itching scalp,
falling hair, and finally baldness. With
out dandruff hair must grow luxuriantly.
It Is the only destroyer of dandruff.
