ANTS IN HOUSES How to Get Rid of a Seasonal Nius- ance ' Ants are reported from many "dis- tricts in the Dominion to be particu- larly amundant in ,dwelling houses. this season. Althought the majority bf the Canadian species of ants live incolonies or nests outdoors they frequently cause annoyance by invad- ing kitchens_ nvad-ing:ki'tchens_ and pantries in search of food. • One of the most common. and troublesome ub esome species; known as the red, or Pharaoh's ant, says the Dominion Entomologist, confines it- self ,entirely to heated buildings, Such as bakeries, restaurants, houses, etc, This tiny, reddish-yellow ant had its origin in the tropics. Another spec- ies, the common large black carpent- er ant, although normally an outdoor species nesting principally in decay- ing wood, frequently occurs in'dwell- ings, particularly . frame houses and summer- cottages, and may cause in- jury to woodwork as well as annoy- ance by its. presence. A third com- mon ,species is the srnall yellowish - brown lawn ant, which nests in lawns and gardens, often entering houses in search of food. Ants are social in their habits and live together in colonies, The ma- jority of the ants in a colony, and. the ones most commonly ,seen, are are wingless undeveloped female workers which are incapable of re- producing their kind. Each colony also possesses one or more true fe- males or "queens" which are respons- ible for the generation of new indi- viduals, The white, helpless larvae and pupae which develop from eggs laid by the "queen" arc cared'for by the workers which may be seen car- rying them to a place of safety when the nest is threatened, with danger,. Ants which enter dwellings will feed on many kinds of foodstuffs, but are particularly fond of sweet and fatty substances. The most satisfactory material so far discovered for destroying ants is sodium fluoride, sold by druggists in the form of fine white powder. This powder s`too'd be scattered lightly' In places frequented by amts arid: left tiny disturbed until the insects have dis- PA EVE' Do You Know That: 1.

I wanted to dip some faded silk articles the other day and upon at- tempting to purchase a dye which had always annoyed hie because it color- ed the lace trimming as well as the silk body of the garment, ,I learned that there is a wonderful new product that tints only the silk and leaves the cotton lace trimming in its orig- inal hue. Rhubarb Conserve 1 cup of rhubarb, eut very fine appeared. As sodium fluoride : is somewhat poisonous, care should be taken to prevent children or pets from gaining access to it. Ants may be discouraged from entering houses by keeping shelves, tables andfloors. in kitchens and pantries as free as possible from crumbs and other food fragments, and by stogy foodstuffs in ant -proof containers. In addition openings in floors and walls through which ants may gain entrance should be 'carefully plugged. When it it possible to find the ants' nest in the ground outside, the whole ant colony may be destroyed by puncturing the surface with holes. and pouring in several tablespoon of carbon bisulphide. Heavy gas is given off by this liquid, and its ef- fect may` be strengthened by cover- ing the nest with an old` coat or sack.. However, great care should be taken not to expose carbon bisulphide near fire or flame because it is very in- flammable. 1 orange, pulp and juice 1 teaspoon of grated yellow rio of orange 3. teaspoon of Leman juice 11 cups sugar 1 cup of blanched almonds cut in thin slices.
