She is most active around dawn and after sunset. She avoids strong light and prefers dark colors. She is essentially a domestic creature, staying around houses by preference. In the autumn the males die, and the females seek winter quarters. They hibernate in dark corners of, cellar and garret, and on the first warm day of spring are out laying their eggs. Save when extended by the arrival of this hibernating period, the life of the female is one or two months; the male, on the other hand, J lives but a few days. The food of the mosquito is th6 juice and nector 1 of plants and, of course, blood? though not necesarily that of man 1 animals, reptiles and even caterpil- j lars are bitten with the same freedom. The female mosquito lays from fif-' ty to one hundred eggs at a time, i on any quiet bit of water. In about three days they hatch, and though1 at first the larva is very small, it]1 frows ranidlv and attains full devel-| opment in a few days.

The officer have known for week that the still was in operation but i iias been impossible to locate. Follow ing a clue last night they went to th neighborhood and began a thoroug] search. After beating about in th woods where they suspected the stil was being operated, they finally dis covered it near a small stream. Th ".pparatus was running at full bias when the officers ^arrived on th :cene; a ffte was crackling under th rtill and the mash was simmerinj right merrily.

War Savings Stamps are making investing safe for the small saver. e Every small Investor should realise ^ that a dolla^ saved while money is the cheapest commodity offered will e purchase twice as much of almost any .1 other commodity within four or five [_' years, so that, in addition to the in' terest that War Barings or other gove ernment securities yield,, the Investor t really has earned 100 per cent in the e purchasing power of the dollar saved. e Small sums certainly are worth saving. Amounts that seenr insignificant ^ soon pile up into figures that are ima pressive. t A great French hanker was once e asked the secret of French thrift, ana s he replied, 'Compound interest" Just as constant waste, even in little a things, may change one's life from * success to failure, so the steady save ing of money will eventually bring s independence, if ntt actual wealth. i There are very few persons who eannot, without inconvenience, lay b aside 10 cents a day. Within ten j years one's daily savings of this ins significant sum will amount to 9366, in addition to $80,St compound Interest, making a total- of 1446.36. _ s By saving 16 cents a day for ten e years, with interest compounded at 4 , per cent, one will have the comfortable sum of $668.11; 10 cents a day a will net $ 10.99. Save SO cents a day 3 for ten years and there is $S,*27.76. - A dollar a day will make a total of B $4,455.74 for the ten-year fcrlod.

It is learning how to attend wisely and ear* Judiciously that count*. Even saving does not aeoeeearlly mean wise spending, since the present day offers *o many equivalents ft* our money. It Is only by f a careful, systematic study of the household administration that a proper balance may be found betjreen the different items in the average budget of the home. I There are items in every household on which too much money is spent The fact must be faced that if too much is spent on clothing, for instance, less must be spent for other necessities of life. Saving, however, is the item that should be mopt emphasised. Poorhouses are full of people who did not have a sayings item on their budgets. Unemployment, sickness, old age and many other demands necessitate a call on the reserve fund, the lack of which will result in suffering and want. Every going enterprise is conducted on system. If the hope is to be a successful institution it must also comply with this wise rule of economics. Systematic household accounting will make a home more cheerful and prosperous. Household accounting alone^ however, will never return its full benefit until it is backed by an intelligent family budget. , One muse consider the problem of whether it is wiser to pay rent or to build a home. In a large measure this depends on local conditions as well as the size of the income. Amusement and recreation are essential in family life. The child and the adult should have an allowance for this, though the total be. very small, averaging from 4 to I per eent of the income of the family. The wise spender plans the needs of the family so that the amount spent in the "miscellaneous" items will be as small as possible. This item should not be a "catch all" in home records.
