To brush them lightly with warmed lard is to supply the necessary preven< tive. When necessary to remove it, it can be done with tissue or crepe | paper, such as in cheap paper napkins.

They eat such unpalatable things as candles, soap and matches. . To the latter there is a_very definite —danger - attached. Matches must be put away in tightly closed tin containers. Fire danger is imminent if this is not_done and the rodents get at them. In addition to making certain that there are no edibles about, even such as described, one should further insure freedom from damage by leaving some rat poison pre- | pared and placed on pieces of paper | where it would be easy of access. In | doing this, one must make certain that | all family pets, such as cats or dogs are for the rats. to place this mixture, earlier prepared, in the right place. Also, it must be re- membered to remove it at once, if any | remains at the start of another season. All water shouid b emptied out of jars and pitchers.

The best way is to turn any crockery cons tainers or other breakable ware up side | down, unless wiped out absolutely dry.

James Fields sent a shipment by ex- | press which he labeled “package con- taining three dozen spring skirts.” The covering of the package was paper, over which was placed a sacking. ‘When the shipment arrived at its destination the express company's agent removed it from the train to a delivery truck during a heavy rainstorm. The shipment, as a result, was completely ruined by water. When confronted with a claim by the consignee, the express company refused to pay the damage sustained, asserting that the loss was due to negligence'in packing. Suit was thereupon instituted. The court held the company liable, stating: “When a hidden defect results in damage in the ordinary course of handling-and transportation the carrier is, of course, not liable. But the owner is not required to cover goods so as to be safe from rain, wind or fire, and where these damages are not of such a character that the damage resulting from them is recognized in the law .as from the ‘act of God,’ the carrier is liable for such damage.” 2 .- To date there have been 19 negro | Representatives and 2 negro Senators |in the United States Congress. e e g e as in some of the old houses, a substi- | out of the way and not given a chance | to partake of the deadly meal prepared | The very last thing to be | done when on the point of departure 5 | e responsible for a | SONNYSAYINGS BY FANNY Y.

He was more interested in the disposal of his peaches and beets. * K K X A young friend of ours is to be mar- ried Saturday night. As is usual in such cases, the announcement of the ap- proaching nuptials has evoked facetious observations on the part of friends, who are showering him with advice. His married acquaintances are suggesting | that he have his head examined. Why, they ask, does a young man who pos- | s life and liberty and happiness de- orately menace his own freedom by taking unto himself a wife? In 2028 the wags will be asking the same thing.

Our friend retired several years ago when he discovered that he could no longer cavort about under the “big top” as he did in the days of his cireus glory. “There are very few really good pantomimists left,” he said sadly. “Even the motion picture, which is a form of pantomime, is undergoing a transition and th~ characters will soon be talking to us {*m every screen. In my opinion there is more comedy in suggestion than in_ all the so-called humorous lines written Our imagination supplies 7 | large part of the fun we get out of | pantomime. Charlie Chaplin is an ex- 1mple. His first parts on the stage were those in which he did not speak a word. “T's actions alone served to convey to 22 spectators the agony or joy he “hed to express. ‘ou remember a once famous per- former whose only ‘properties’ were a bicycle and tramp's clothing. He in- variably opened his act by peeping shyly around a wing. | Apparently surpris- jed at seeing an audience, he would duck back again as though fright- cned.

He scanned whatever it was _{and just as he was | il about to reach down for it he changed his mind. Perhaps it was the stub of a cigar. He would pick it up. but no. he'd let it lie. For a few seconds he pondered and then decided he would investigate the object. Reaching down again he discovered that it was something he couldn’t pick up. Roars of laughter greeted his action. His bicycle rested against the back-drop and he swung a leg over the seat and began to ride slowly around the stage when the contraption fell apart. His Iudicrous efforts to extricate himself from the wreckage and put the thing together again was the highest form of artistry. Not a word was spoken during | his performance. The oldtime clown was an artist. He had to be. His was the art of pantomime and not wise-cracks. His | success was in silence.” ’ THE ART OF PANTOMIME . Orange Bread Pudding.
