UNUTILIZED POWER
During one of General Grant’s
cainpiugna somebody mentioned ma
stubborn persistence to his wire, wbc
remarked;
“Mr. Grant is an obstinate man.”
There are other wives who have
the same opinion of their hubbies.
There is another G rant now, in
C alifornia, who has been obstinate

Mankind has always regarded hell

the hottest place conceived o f must
be the locality whence that lire came.
The old Episcopalian creed tells th a t

Though the sun is hotter than any
thing on earth or in earth, these ter-

The obstinacy of our friend G rant
has carried his workings down to a

Barium Carbonate Kills
Harmful Rats and Mice
C A P IT A L
According to Kansas State college
authorities, rats and mice In the
United States destroy $200,000,(XX) 1
worth of food and property every year
Kats are u menace to grain, poultry,
household property, human safety, and
human life. They ruin all kinds of
food, clothing, and other property.
Fires are started by matches gnawed
by rats. They carry disease.
Barium carbonate Is a cheap and
effective control. • I t has no taste or
odor, and It acts slowly on the rats.
Rodents poisoned by It wander outside
of buildings to die. One bushel of
corn w ill buy enough barium carbo
nate to rid a farm of rats, and no
time and money Is better spent than
that used In killing off these destruc
tive and filthy pests.
