Housekeepers Can Save
$200,000,000 on Food
In these days when the hltrh coat of llv-
InR pinches nearly every home, no wasta
should be overlooked. One of the most
flagrant and the most easily prevented, la
thi- destruction of food hy rats. One rat
will often do a hundred dollars' damage of
food and property in a single night, and a
careful estimate gives over 1200,1*10.000 as
the value of foodstuffs destroyed annually
by these pests. Exterminate them with
Steams' Pasta and save this enormous
loss of food. A small box of Stearns'
Paste costs only S5 rents and is usual-
ly enough to completely rid the house of
rats and mice: also effective agalnat cock-
roachea and waterbuga. Adv.
Saving the Bullets.
There are several kinds of airplnnes
adapted to different kinds of military
Bervlce and their equipment varies ac-
cording to whether thfcy are intended
chiefly for scouting, for bomb dropping
or for gun fighting. On moat of the
machines of the last-named or battle-
piano typo, n writer In the Scleatltt®
American says, u luaohino gun Is so
fitted as to point along the axis of the
machlnp. The pilot, who Is alone, di-
rects the nose of his airplane at the
enemy and fires across the propeller.
Two plans were tried for preventing
the propeller from being broken by
the bullets. The first consisted of
stopping the machine gun whenever
the propeller came within thc field of
fire, but experience showed thnt fre-
quent stopping of the gun with tha
propellers making 1,200 revolutions a
minute ends In putting the gun out of
order. Designers then placed steel
plates on those parts of the propeller
likely to be struck, and these plates
turn the bullets that strike the pro-
peller. It Is mathematically calculat-
ed that only ohe bullet in eighteen Is
wasted In this way.
Through and Through.
The two men In blue were exchang-
ing confidences on the veranda of a
big military bospltnl In France.
"Did you go to the big society
party they gave for us crocked fellows
yesterday?"
"Yes," said the other and shuddered.
"What did you think of It?"
"Believe me, old bloke, I'd rather
have another ball go through me than
to through another ball."
