Her income Is estimated at $16,000 a day and she knowa how to keep It. 8he I never*charge* over C per cent on loans. Mie attributes her good Health and long hfe to hard work and eating baked onions for breadfast. Younger people should, she says, eat raw onions plen- tifully. She recently joined tbe Epis copal church. As a birthday present she gave the following adyloe to tbe girls and young women: "Don’t envy; don't overdress; don’t fall to go to eburcb; don’t eat any- ABOUT POISONING RATS. At about ihia time of year when the chilly nlghta begin to give hlnta of colder weather to follow, the barns, and tbe house as well, often become In fested with rats and mice seeking warmer quarters for tbe winter and the problem of how to get rid of these pests Is soon under consideration. Many means of killing these vermin are open to the householder, but alto many of these, while effective, are Im practical from one cause or another. The two means to be considered are primarily the use of trap and the uae of poison Traps are useful, but in preparing these they should be han dled with gloves rather then bare blind* to avoid the warning human odor. They may be halted with bread, or, better, with a piece of toasted cheese, and placed near the openings where the rats or mice enter rooms. I tio wire spring traps are a very ef fective form, at they are flat and l»- cunsplciious and have nothing partlcu- latly suspicious in their general ap- pesrance. For mice the box traps also answer very well. Where obtainable, tbe new type of glass jar trap! which have recently been put on the market appear very desirable. tn poisoning, especially about the biin*c*, there are certain considerations which should he taken into account. Fir*t, such strong noDont as strych nine, while it will kill the pasts It a source of danger to mankind—especial ly to young children, who might be P dsoiled tiy accident. There Is slao another fault with many of tho strong no I son*, due to the fact that tho animal dk killed loo quickly, thus dying Inalda tlie boose, frequently dying between tlie w alls or In other Inaccessible placet an I causing a stem h which will b« a source of great discomfort or possibly disease A poison which acts slowly, allowing tlie animal time to getoutstde the bnlkilng In its frantic search of w ater to relieve its agony. ;t thus much better than those quickly acting pois ons so often used Many patented • "iiipounds are up in th« market which • re said to ho prepared with this idea In new, but every householder may rapidly prepare his own and at less ex- pense.

Always Rsmsmbsr This and Learning to Swim Will Ba Eaay. Tou can teach yourself to swim, and yon can do It In an hour or lean, know plenty of people who have done it by following carefully these dlrec tlooai rim and foremost, fix this thought clearly In your mind—the water will bear you up. It Is fear and struggle that Invariably send a person to the bottom. The best way to acquire confl dene* that makes for courag* and fun la, go squarely and reasonably at it. Begin In atill water; tbe old swim ming pool on tbe farm Is just the place. Wade out until your shoulders are cov ared, squat a little and get yourself wet all over. Don’t be the least atom afraid,’even If a little water does get Into your nose and ears; wade out a little farther un til you are up to your chin, and now your toes will begin to leave the hot tom of the pool. Do not be alarmed. This shows you that you are a little lighter than the water. Now lift your chest and with the muscles of your ■tomarh breathe deep, stretch your arms out to form the letter T of your aelf, stiffen your backbone and hollow your back as though suddenly you were a vary Important and dignified person. Tour toes have come up to the surface now. Lean your head back freely as far aa you can, keeping your mouth abut Lie back with absolute confidence and there yon are floating. Kvrp your backbone stiff, gently paddle with your bands, and you are swimming. Make toward the shore, of course. Then try It all over again. This time kick with yonr feel gently; strong strokes might torn you over and frighten you. Keep your balance and practice two or three times In straight succession. Tbe next thing that you will be learn Ing Is the “V" stroke. Kick out until both lege are like the letter; V, shut them together like the blades of a pair of eelsaors (which give a strong drive ahead), then draw them up sldewls. like a frog and kirk persistently out again Then try making your legs go aa If you were climbing up stain*. Al ereya remember the wj?.t will benr you op. and the great sod only dull culty about swimming will be out of your way.—CbrWtisu Herald By virtue of a decretal order to me directed In the ahoyo entitled cxu.e.
