You can set ture it from your Wholesale drug gist. “The fumes of th’s , carbon disul phide are highly explosive and under ho circumstancee must fire of ifffy kind. ,be brought in contact with them. “It may be necessary to make a second treatment about a week after I the first in order to kill such beetles- as you haye natura’.ly missed with the first treatment.” Anyone who has not smelled one of these bugs has missed something. They have the animal and vegetable kingdom whipped to a fare.you-well when it comes to, displeasing the nostrils'. It is rumored that some Raeford families have had some pretty hot times ever the odor of these bugs, not kno'.ving from whence the odor came. It is report ed that one lady made her hiisbaud get up in the night and take a bath, 5 all due to this little insect. I Until you are sure there are none* j in your home, don't be too hasty in your conclusions. In justice to Mr. Stevens it should be stated that he is not the gentle man who had 'to take the bath.
