How to Destroy Cockroaches.—

Maybe in this modern age if we allowed more cock roaches to enter our abodes, our appetites would be cubed a bit and weight loss wouldn’t be so much of an issue.

Take a quarter of a teaspoonful of phosphorous, two level tablespoonfuls of flour, mix and make into paste with well sweetened water. Phosphorous is very inflammable and should not be allowed near fire and being poisonous must not be placed where children and family pets can touch or eat it. Place the paste where the roaches can reach it.
