The best wav to prevent damage
hv house mice is to provide a proper
place for food and other stored ma-
teria! Clothin^ arid rubbish are of-
ten stored in closets, basements, and
attics, and some of this is left from
vear to year without being disturbed.
It is in such material that mice live
and breed. Clean up and burn the
rubbih and trash that accumulates in
buildings and in the yard and you
will prevent rats as well as. hou-e
mice from becoming established and
doing damage in your house.

eyes to shut out the vision of the
haunting furniture. If only they had
enough money to rent a properly fur-

wu cheap because It was old fash- j

mother had lived In the old house; j
t*n long year-. sh > had struggled to i
get away from the bric-a-brac and j

marble tops. For ten long years, al-
most every day, she had dusted and

guardian. With a little shiver sho
opened her eyes and going over to a

pages she came to the place she was

slender limbed chairs and plain little
beds without a hump or a bump to

well to sigh for a slice of the moon
