HOW TO DESTROY ANTS A simple method of destroying ants is to moisten a large-holed sponge and sprinkle sugar on it. Ants have a partiality for sugar and will speedily crawl on to the sponge to secure it. When the sponge is full it can be lifted up and dropped carefully into a bowl of water. Housewives throughout the Dominion have found in “SHREDDO” just what they require—a clean, pure, and wholesome suet that keeps fresh indefinitely, is already chopped for use “tind which gives far better results than suet “in the rough."
