'fa ive Wwas 4s The battle is far from won. It is estiâ€" mated that there are from 200,000 to 1,000,000 kinds of insects in the world, thousands of them harmful to man. _ The world‘s insects far outâ€" weigh all the human beings, animals, reptiles, and birds put together. The war between man and insect will be a long one but for the time being, the home, at least, has been made reasonâ€" @bly safe, thanks to the work whch has shown the way to direct the terror of the battlefleldâ€""chemical warfare" â€"against the insect armies.

The substance was discovered by accident. Near a bunch of wild fowers which had become withered were observed many dead insects. Tie matter was investigated by scientists who discovered the effect of this flowâ€" er extract on the insect‘s breathing apparatus. Interesting research lies back of the development of the "chemical warâ€" fare" against insect pests. Scientists discovered a vulnorable spot in the exâ€" posed pores on each side of the inâ€" gect‘s body. The chemical sprays used, while harmless to man and aniâ€" mals, have the peculiar property of paralyzing the insect‘s breathing orâ€" gans. Ants and fleas are properly cleassed with the other "public enemies" as devourers of materials and spreaders of disease,. Fleas have been associâ€" ated with animal diseases and with bubonic plagu=e. There are 6000 ditâ€" ferent kinds of ants but four of them do the most damageâ€"the tiny red variety, the small black ant, the carâ€" penter, and the pavement ant. Bedbugs carry dysentery, smallpox, typhus, anthrax, infantile paralysis, relapsing fever, bubonic plague, and leprosy. Their painful bites, vile odors, and menace as disease spreaders make them especially obnoxious and danâ€" gerous. Bedbugs are so foulâ€"smelling that birds will not touch them. Moths devour some $250,000,000 worth of textiles and other materials annually, and are the housewife‘s conâ€" stant enemy. Killing the miller moths does little good as the eggs usually have been laid before the moth flies. The larvae, under favorable feedi..g conditions, may devou; wool, fur, and other animal fibers equal to about 12 times the weight of the millor. Cockroaches are the "Methuselahs" of the insect world as they frequently live to be four years old. These filthy insects carry the germs or diphtheria, typhoid, lysentery, tonsilitis, lepros,, and malignant tumors. Next to the Ay the cockroach is the most dangerous As a carrier of disease. Sixty kinds of mosquitoes are found in the United States. They are conâ€" demned chiefly as carriers of malaria and dengue or breakbone fever which sometimes becomes epidemic in the southern states. The mosquito‘s prinâ€" cipal menace lies in the fact that it is likely to inject germs direcily into the blood of its victim. The itching and swelling caused by its attack are largely due to a poison substance reâ€" leased during the biting to .hin the blood so that the liquid can easily be swallowed by the mosquito. At one feeding, they will eat haif their weight in food and will gorge themâ€" selves in half a minute or even less time if not disturbed. The fly‘s eating habits and, in fact, every phase of its conduct are dirty and disgusting in the extreme. To soften its food so that it can be swalâ€" lowed, the fly vomits upon it, leaving hosts of dangerous germs upon unconâ€" sumed portions of its meal. Flies will travel from one to 30 miles for food. of the typhod cases i per cent is rural multiply with terrifyi one season, from May ber 30th, a temale fly : might produce nearly ©Eainst the seven principal “)ngli;: enemios"â€"flleg, mosquitoes, roaches, moths, fleas, bedbugs, and ants. r rougpaliceraizn Counsel on his behalt addressed Known for (Scientific American) Scientists have recently drawn w and severe indictments a»a The Menace of the terr as one of the Movem.ent interests animals of all *kinds more than anything else. Even an object unattractive in itself wils secure a dog‘s notice i thrown a little distance, with a gesture for him to zo get it. Sometimes a pretence to race with him for the object will awaken the desired response; and it is very natural when he reaches the object to grab it up in his mou«h. Some people suppose that fatness is necessarily constitutionalâ€"a natural state against which struggle is in vain. This man‘s experionce disproves that â€"and on his own description he was an extrome case. "I was 220 lbs. two years ago. I am only 5 ft. high and I looked awful! Through diet and Kruschen, I am now 168 lbs., and as nimble as a twoâ€"year old. I am wellâ€"known as a fat man and people always stopped to look at me. I could not go anywhere without a stare. And after walking 10 yards I puffed awful. Life was a misery to me. Now I am all right. There never was such a difference in a man."â€" If the runâ€"afterâ€"it method fails, you must open his mouth forcibly. Pass your hand over his jaws and with the thumb on one side and fingers on the other, press his lips against his teeth. This will open his mouth, and you s'.ou}d be ready with the other hand > place the glove in it. Now slip your hand under his jaw and hold the mouth shut while you stroke his head with the other hand and speak kindly to him. Repeat the lesson two or three times, but do not tire him. Conclude by giving him a bite of something he likes. Perhaps a glove is the best object to start with,. Drawing it through his mouth makes his guns feel better, and secondly the scent of his master on the glove makes it more interesting. After a dog has his teeth, too much carrying of particularly hard objects, like stones, will injure them, and make him "hard mouthed," that is, careless about biting too hard on delicate packâ€" ages. Sportsmen, in training of reâ€" trievers, have to guard particularly against developing of hard mouth. I think it is generally understood that puppies learn most anything more readily than mature dogs; but in teaching this work of carrying, tcere is another reasc> , one we might term physiological, why you will sucâ€" ceed more quickly with the youngster. Begin when he is teething; his gums are sore and he gets considerable reâ€" lief from holding things in his moutk. At this period of life he will often "mouth" hard objects for no other purpose than to help nature in deâ€" veloping his teeth. I‘ is instinct. Certainly, dogs will lerrn carrying at any age, but it is far easier to teach then. when they are seething. LOST 52 LBS. UGLY FAT He knew just where to take hold to talance it in his mouth.

Some fine dogs have been injured by staying in water too long searching for « duck their master had brougkt down. Never send your puppy into dangerous curâ€" rents and whirlpools and do not perâ€" mit him to wade the marshes too long.

You should teach the carrier dog not to give up his package or message to any stranger. Have some pecson with whom your pet is not acquainted start to tahe the object from the dog‘s mouth then change his mind. Let this he repeated a few times; then come up yourself, take the object, and praise the dog. This method was first recommended by Bruette, one of the best "dogâ€"ologists" of this country, and I have never known it to fail. A dog, like a person, dislikes being foolâ€" ed, and clings to the person who seems to appreciate his efforts. new strength and energy while you are training yourself down to a point of normal weight.

The only wayâ€"at any rate, the nest wayâ€"to train a dog to go after things alone, or do any tricks without your supervision, is to go through the performance exactly with him many, many times, always using the same words to start the thing. In this way, with patience on the trainer‘s part, a smart dog may be taught to take a basket and go efter some article.

If you kave che merchant instructed to put what you want in the basket, the do~. if well taught, will do the rest, ard bring the baskes to you. Your talk to the dog while he is learning is important. When you beâ€" gin to use various articles he must understand your caution of "Gently, boy," ete. I read of a dog‘s bringing a freshly laundered collar to his mas ter without soiling it. It had fallen from a desk into a wasteâ€"basket, and this observant dog knew that it did not belong there, and that it was something he should handle with care.
