The large specles of cockroach, unpleas
antly familiar, is of migratory habit, and in
houses makes its appearance only once In a
while, though sometimes in enormous num
pbers. But the small specles commonly known
as the “water bug,’ or “croton bug,” is with
us always. Few dwellings are free from it,
and in most apartment houses it is a peren
nia! nuisance.
This small kind of roach is understood to
have been imported from Germany. In New
York City it first became numerous emough
to attract attemtion at about the time the
Croton Aqueduct was opened—whence the
name, “croton bug.”
The difficulty of dealing with it does mnot
arise from the rapidity of its breeding, for in
reality it does not multiply very fast, but
from its haMt of hiding in crannies. It is a
remarkably intelligent insect, and well knows
that mankind i# its only dangerous enemy.
Roaches thrive best in dirty and neglected
places. Because they are so intimately asso
cinted with filth, the average housewife is
reluctant to admit that her dwelling is in
fested by them. “Oh, no” she will say, “we
have no roaches.”
Sometimes she really believes it. But let
her visit the kitchen after nightfall, in the
dark and light a match. Behold, there is a
frightened scurrving of the unpleasant in
sects in all directions, seeking the nearest
bole or crack for concealment.
Wherever they go, they leave a sort »f,
exudation befind them, disagreeable to the
sense 3{ smell. Dishes and platters over
which they have walked are liable to betray
the fact by a “roachy” odor that is rather
disgusting.
At the University of California a study was
burden. of many a dweller in the city. The
utter exhaustion which follows a day down
town is far more largely caused by the breath
ing of impurities than by the actual amount
of labor done.
Mental labor should cause mental iatigue,
with a fair amount of physical tiredness, but
when the knees and shoulders ache, when
there is a pain in the back and the hands are
trembling, when the head seems too heavy
to hold up, it is evident that some subtle poi
son has been introduced into the system. The
cause lies largely in the fact that under
modern city conditions men and women are
continually breathing gasoline fumes. |

Dr. Bates says that since then he has had a
number of cases of pronounced tuberculosis in
his practise, all of which havte recovered after
treatment for the ereg except one young woman,
whose econdition was already hopeless, but she
lived two years. 3
“Eyestrain cannot produce tuberenlosis by any
direct conneetion with the lungs or the organs
favolved,” Dr. Bates writes, “but the eyes do
more work than any other organ of the body and,
if there is trouble with the refraction or muscular
‘equilibrium, we are using up a certain amount of
nerve force all the time.
“If a person iz manufacturing only just as
much as he is using up every day the additional
nerve force used up by evestrain is sufficlent
soon to place the system below par, where the
disease to which he is predisposed is likely to
develop, and that may be tuberculosis.”

Some of the Many Ways in Which the New Scarfs
Can Be Worn.
F all the women who are constantly knitting for the
soldiers made their busy needles and fingers work
to the best possible advantage there would be mno
lack of warm clothing for the fighters in the cold, damp
trenches of France, Belgilum and Poland. -
The trouble is, however, that a great many of the
scarfs, mufflers and other things on which so much time
and pains are expended are of little practical use. Often |
the material used in the articles is entirely unadapted for
a soldier's purpose; in other cases their size or shape |
is wrong. : ‘
Women who really wish their knitting and crocheting
to accomplish some good will do well to learn to make
the knitted scarf which Dr. Michel, a well-known French
surgeon, has lately devised for the soldiers’ use. A
quantity of these scarfs were supplied to troops in
Argonne shortly before Christmas, and they are pro
nounced the most useful things of the kind the men
have ever worn.
The new scarf, which is called a “Michelain” in honor
of its inventor, can be used as a head, throat, chest or
arm protector. It consisty of nothing more than a

Glands That Show HOW WE DIE
HAT may prove as import
ant aid to physicians in
clearing up the mystery
which often surrounds a person’s
death s the discovery that the con
dition of the adrenal glands reveals
very clearly the manner of death.
Just what disease or injury pro
duced death thess glands do not
show, But they do make plain just
whaet conditions immediately pre
ceded death—whether death was
sudden, whether accompanied by
much pain, whether the dying person
was unconscious and a number of
other things which might frequentiy
be of considerable importance.
The adrena! glands are two in
number, located one above each kid
ney. BEach gland consists of two
parts, an outer, which stores an oily
substance, and an inner, which
secretes the Important principle
known as adrenalin. It !s the latter
funetion which is of so much assist

The reason for this is the close re

The so-called roach pastes =old at the drug
stores are mixtures of honey (or molasses)
and phosphorus. They kill some roaches and
now and then a human being or domestic
animal, being so fatal that there is no known
antidote. Roach powders are more or less
effective. But both powders and pastes leave
enough of the insects alive to continue the
breed.

Here is the way Dr. Michel says the scarf should be

Use medium-sized woo’ and a crochet peedle having
a dlameter of one-fourth of an inch. -
. First make a loose chain forty-eight inches long. Then
crochet two extra stitches for turning and throw the
thread over the needle.
For the first row, take up the two threads of the chain,
throw thread over, put it under the two stitches of the
first loop of chain; pull through; throw thread over
again, then pull through the first two, then pull through
the second two: repeat to end of chain.
Take two stitchés to turn with; proceed exactly as the

YOU MIGHT TRY—
Alcohol for Black Clothes.
FOR freshening up black clothes—woolen goods and crepe de chine espe
clally—there is nothing better than alcohol. Naphtha or gasoline often
leaves rings around the parts cleaned, but alcohol does not. A good rubbing
over with a cloth wet with alcohol, and a pressing after it is dry, will make
a black crepe de chine walst look like new.
To Take Out Rain Marks.
IRON the oloth on the right side with a moderately hot iron, placing a
clean, damp cloth between the material and the iron. The cloth
must be kept damp in order to make this method a success: Treated in
this way, the rain marks will not only disappear, but the cloth will not
spot again.
For Chilblains.
PAL\’T the affected reglon with tincture of iodipe and then, as soon as
dry, swab it with pure fchthyol. Then press cotton down into the
gticky ichthyol until no more will stick. The stocking or glove protects the
region, and the dressing should be kept dry and left unmolested for from
three to filve days. This treatment will relleve the ltching and is said to
have never been known to fail of a cure. .
When Soups Are Too Greasy.
BO!L them gently with the heat at one side of the saucepan. The greasy
scum will then be th‘own to one side and can be quite easily removed.
