FORMER SHERIFF
ADMITS HE HAS
KILLED HUNDREDS
Interesting Statement by Man Who
Has Tested Modern and Effec
tive Methods of Destruction
Formerly a sheriff in his native
county, a man now living in South
Georgia, declares that on numerous
occasions he has killed mosquitos by
the hundreds in his home by merely
spraying Torment into the air. Tor
ment kills mosquitos instantly, even
while they are on the wing. It has
no offensive odor, does not stain the
clothing or the furniture and it is
harmless to human beings .Keep your
home clear of the malaria carrying
mosquito and you will be healthier
and happier. Torment is admitted to
be the greatest insecticide ever dis
covered. It annihilates flies as well
as mosquitos. A bottle of Torment
including spray 25c at your druggists,

were playing with the cat when it ran

claimed: “Oh, I can see its head

Use of India Rubber.
India rubber was used for the first
1 time as an eraser in 1770. when a very
small piece was sold for three marks.

to this tiie crumb of bread was used
for erasing purposes.
Cause for Rejoicing.
Leonard was walking with his nurse
! and fliet a friend of his mother, who
I proceeded to -encage him in conversa

! manner. On parting with her, Leon
ard was silent for a long time, and
then said with a gentle sigh of thank
fulness: “I am so glad, Sarah, that
I’ve got a nice, gloomy mother.”
Rainy Seasons in Cycles.
According to Eduard Brueekner, the
great Austrian meteorologist, cold,
rainy seasons come in cycles about
every thirty-five years, the years near
est to these partaking of their nature
1 and those furthest distant being dry
and hot. The year 1915 was the height
of one of these coid, wet cycles.
Worst Enemy of Birds.
The great horned owl is the worst
of the owl family as a destroyer of
game and poultry. He even extends
his depredations to rabbits and other
fur-hearing animals, and if he discov
ers the sleeping place of a covey of
quail he will clean them up to the last

makes life start RIGHT
SEE TO IT that “her" new home has
a Starr Phonograph in it. The music
of the Starr helps to make life an un
ending honeymoon.
The superiority of the Starr Phono
graph is increased by its “singing
throat"—the throat made of Silver
Grain Spruce.
Music isn’t music unless the throat is
perfect.
The Starr Phonograph is an instrument of perma
nent baeuty, an incomparable wedding gift.
Before you pick "her' present, come and listen to
the marvelous tone of the Starr Phonograph.
