Dr. 'Z. I\ Metcalf; Frofc sor of;

poiniirt. . r that the pest* lay egg.-: J
on th'.v a ureal; these egg> drop to.

?rrub.> within the week: the grubs
feeii the dust particles and from
cocoon-- if about another week.'
.and; ther. the adults emerge from
the i . -v.: - within two weeks. As
each '""wa'e lays several hundred
ejcgs, it is no wonder that the house !
is quickly overrun with the pests.
But Dr. Metcalf savs there is hope.
T1n> same chemical, P-benzene, that
s usvd successfully in killing peacii
'ret- borers, can ho used on the floa*.
Treat- the-: pest hy placing them in a

in cut is deadly to the fleas but tk?e>
not injure the animals. One ounce
