Ghirardelli's Ground Chocolate is a sustaining 

 beverage. Women whose strength is taxed for 

 any unusual cause will find a daily cup of 

 Ghirardelli's just the thing to meet the drain on 

 their bodily vigor. 



Ghirardelli's Ground Chocolate in hermetically sealed cans is a blend 

 of finest cocoa and pure sugar — delicious, strength-bestowing — an 

 economical palate-stirring food-beverage. 



Ghirardelli's is used in more homes in the West than all other 

 brands of chocolate combined. For your protection be sure you get

under the usual Washington condi- 

 tions. The compounds of arsenic and 

 lead, zinc or lime have varying de- 

 grees of stability. Basic arsenate of 

 lead is extremely permanent; it can be 

 nscd with safety in climates where 

 other arsenicals scorch. But for the 

 same reason it is slow to kill, for an 

 arsenical must be digested and ab- 

 sorbed by the insect before it can cause 

 destruction, and in the meanwhile the 

 wormhole is becoming larger. Zinc 

 arsenite is a quick-acting insecticide. 

 It is easily absorbed in the insect's 

 body and it is therefore valuable for 

 the larger species wiiich recpiire a 

 stronger dosage than weak, newly- 

 hatched insects do. But this quickness 

 of effect implies relative instability, 

 and in fact zinc arsenite has caused 

 serious scorching in damp weather. 

 Arsenites of lime and of barium are 

 coarse grained and have been ruled 

 out as insecticides because their par- 

 ticles loom up too large to deceive the 

 microscopic worm. 



Arsenicals are dangerous poisons 

 when taken in the proper amount. 

 Very weak dosages act as a stimulant, 

 to whet the appetite and add to one's 

 endurance. It is well known that cer- 

 tain people eat arsenic in increasing 

 amounts, beginning with the maximum 

 safe dose of one-twelfth of a grain and

eating it shall be indifferent to its 

 presence. Doubtless it is true that 

 combination sprays have often proved 

 effective and that success has often fol- 

 lowed the addition of lime to a poison 

 spray, but in such cases success is rela- 

 tive, and better results would have 

 probably been secured if the poison 

 had been left tasteless. 



The use of an alluring bait is directly 

 opposite to that of the repellants. 

 Traps and sprays have been prepared 

 with molasses, syrup, glucose, sugar, 

 salt, manure, milk, lemons, oranges, 

 cider, vinegar, ai'omatic oils or beer 

 added to entice the various insects. 

 Here, again, one sort of bait will not 

 answer for all kinds of insects. Kven

Arsenicals have long been considered 

 the best of stomach poisons. With 

 these sprays the object is to coat the 

 food plant and the insect nnist then 

 unconsciously partake of the poison 

 when feeding. If the dose swallowed 

 is weak, the insect ceases feeding, is 

 attacked with a diarrhoea and finally 

 relaxes in death. If the dose is strong 

 a sort of inflammation of the bowels 

 immediately sets up and death follows 

 in a few hours. An arsenic compound 

 must be insoluble, since the presence 

 of free, soluble arsenicals scorches the 

 foliage. For this reason the extremely 

 poisonous white arsenic cannot be used 

 in spraying, but the insoluble arsenates 

 of lead, or arsenites of lime, zinc or 

 copper can be safely apiilied, at least
