FLEAS MAKING HOOSIER TOUR Hog and Dog Variety Making Homes on Humans. Hog: fleas and dog fleas, particularly yH> latter, are making life miserable to many people in various parts of Indiana, Ifccording to reports reaching the division •W entomology of the state department of conservation. All the inquirers. State Entomologist Wallace says, seek a way for immediately eradicating the pest. The reports indicate that the fleas are no respectors of persons.! for the Insects have forced themselves into the palatial mansions of the rich and fashionable as ■well as Into the cottages. Particularly prevalent are they in some . agricultural communities where stock raising is followed. The state entomologist recommends that the first steps at control and eradication should be to keep all animals such as cats and dogs out of the house, nnu keep hogs as far " > the farm house as possible. When the fleas appear in the basement and it has been used as sleeping quarters for the pet dog or cat, immediately remove the animal’s “lounge," and if the basement be of cement, scrub it with a hot soap solution to which has been added four tablespoonfuls of ereolin or cresol. Should the fleas get under the house to a section where the basement does not extend, sprinkle hydrated line or common salt on the ground and moisten it down with water. This will prevent their breeding. If the pest has carried his offensive to the upstairs, remove all carpets and rugs from the floor, clean the floors with a vacuum cleaner if possible and flood beneath the baseboard with gasoline. The department calls attention that only audit fleas are blood-suckers, and that the young—wormlike creatures—feed on decaying vegetable and animal matter and are fond of bits of dust, lint, Jiair and particles of dried blood that the adults excrete.

As winner of the contest. Miss Beall aud six of her friends will be the guests of the Murat management for this evening's performance of “39 East." Rachel Crothers' comedy of boarding house life, which is the final attraction of the 1920 season. Stuart Walker and Felix F. Bruner, city editor of The Daily Times, acted in the capacity of Judges. Miss Beall is head stenographer for the Nichols Candy Company of this city. Following is the winning, contribution : Os all the plays produced by the Stuart Walker company, “The Lodger’’ impressed me as having the “most real-to-life” acting of any I have had the pleasure of seeing. The characters were excellently selected, each one impersonating their parts very well, and the play itself had more of a plot than any other produced this summer. Mr. Bowker was the typical lodgekeeper. Miss Patterson was wonderful, as his hysterical wife. Mr. Morris and Miss Vonnegut portrayed their parts admirably as lovers. The solicitor certainly was impressive enough, and the detective dressed Just loud enough to make it interesting.

KATE FEARS LONG-FACED PEOPLE And Advises Every One to Wear a Smile.

“Here's to laughter, the sunshine of the soul, the happiness of the heart and one of the essential attributes iu attaining success,” is the toast of Kate Stout, who plays Arbutus Quilty In John Cort's “Listen Lester," which will be the opening attraction at English’s for fair week, beginning next Monday. Miss Stout, beside being the dainty little actress she is, is possessed of a level head, in that she seldom, if ever, expresses her views on the stage. She broke this rule, however, for in a recent interview she says, “I am firm in the belief that laughter has a lot to do with one’s success. “A great deal of the success lies in the faculty of knowing when to laugh and how. “This blessing reflects, in a major portion, the best side of one’s personality. “I don't mean for one to forever giggle merely to prove that he or she happens to lie in cheerful spirits. "This method might prove successful for a while, but it is bound to reflect upon the intelligence of the person.” . "The biggest asset, to my mind, is to be able to cope with any displeasing situation with a light heart. In short, make yourself far bigger than your troubles. “I have never gone in search of a position with a glum face or a heavy heart. “It is when your burden seems the heaviest that you should put on your cheeriest sirdie.” It will get you a lot more gloom or depression,” she claims.
