REMEDY FOR CHICGERS;
QUICK HOT BATH BEST
H a bath in hot water, or in water
containing nit or strong soap, ii ta
ken within a few hours after expos
ure in shrubbery and weeds infested
with “chiggers" or “red bugs,” no ill
effects will be experienced. After a
long exposure, however, a bath has
practically no effect, and direct rem
edies are necessary.
After irritation has set in, and
small red spots appear, the applica
tion of a moderately strong solution
of ammonia to the affected parts is
recommended by the Department of
Agriculture entomologists. A super
saturated solution of bicarbonate of
soda, or common cooking soda or
saleratus, will afford relief. Liberal
applications should be made until the
irritation subsides. If the suffering
is severe, a dilute tincture of iodine
or collodion should be lightly ap
plied.—Ex.

San Leandro, Cab, June.— ‘If the
women of today would do more rpal
old-fashioned work, they wouldn't
have so many ‘ailings.' ”
rGandma Wiskotschill, spry and
active at 93 years of age, utters this
philosophy of well being for the ultra
modern, ultra delicate members of
her sex. Wroking as she does, in her
garden, about the varied duties of
her home; capable of a full day’s real
toil, even at her advanced age, she
has small patience with the frailties
common to the women of the present
She attributes her longevity to the
fact that she has always worked and
has always been willing to work.
“Humph! Sickly!” says Grandma,
scornfully. “Of course, the women
nowadays are sickly. And it’s
wonder they are. They’re afraid of
work. If the young women would
spend more time in the garden, grow
ing vegetables and flowers instead of
lounging around the house all morn
ing and fluttering,out to society things
in the afternoon, they’d be a whole
lot healthier and happier.
“When a woman keeps busy at hon
est toil she has little time to think of
trifling ailments. People who have
nothing to do are the ones who feel
cut of sorts.
“When I was young, girls were
taught to work. When they grew
up and were married they took
pride in their work and their homes.
And there weren’t so many divorces
in those days, either. Women were
busy and happy with the care of their
families. They didn’t send their
washing to the laundry and spend thi
whole day gadding about and gossip
ing. Women aren’t like they used to
be.”
Grandma lives in a vine covered
cottage. Her neighbors say she is
busy every day, either at work in her
garden or at some duty of the home.
Regularly every Monday morning, she
does the family washing Grandma’s
two children, a son and a daughter,
ere both near the 70-year mark.
Woman suffrage, she thinks, is “all
right for women, especially those who
have nothing to do.”
“I have lived for ninety-three years
without voting, but since I have the
chance, I’m going to vote for a good
man for president next fall. And
that man is President Wilson. He’s
done a noble work in keeping us out
of war." .
Grandma Witkotscholl was bom in
Germany and came to America with
her parents when the was two years
old. She has lived in California
forty-eight yean.
NEGRO BORN A SLAVE
LEFT $40,000 ESTATE
8avannah, Ga., June.—The children
and grandchildren of Isaac B. Butler,
an old negro echo -died,in Savannah a
few days ago, will divide a $40,000
estate between them, thanks to Isaac’s
thrift and frugality during .his life.
Butler was born a slave and served
as a slave during the first forty yean
of his life. He used to help the
Confedente government make gun
boats and performed other services
for the republic of the stan and ban.
After the war Isaacs became a carper,
ter and he served to such good ser
vice and saved to such a splendid end
that he died leaving an estate of$32,-
000. Of this $12,000 was in cash in
the Savannah bank.
ARMY APPROPRIATION BILL IS

ed States and its^insular possessions

coll, mother of the late Surgeon Jamei

Atlanta, Ga., June.—The impor
tance of financial industrial and com
mercial preparedness was urged by
Wilmer L. Moore, of Atlanta, pres
ident of the Southern States Life In
surance Company, in a speech before
the Huntsville, (Ala.) Chamber of
Commerce, and which has been high
ly praised by the newspappers
throughout the country.
Mr. Moore urged a general line, of
education in behalf of thrift and fru
gality. He pointed out that thrift is
not penuriousness, but a knowledge
of the right way to spend. He argued
that the south needs money in such
volume and at such cost as will make
possible the large use of the real es
tate loan, which he termed the “Mat
ter Builder.”
Mr. Moore deprecated the inability
of the people of the south to fully
take advantage of its wSnderful re
sources. This is due, he pointed out,
to a lack of money for constructive
and development work, and the lack
of money is a result of the absence
of frugal habits and practices of the
citizens as a whole.
To prove this condition he quoted
some figures. He showed of the seven
billions of savings of the people of
tho United States the south has only
the meager total of two hundred and
thirty millions. While the average sav
ings deposit is $423.33 in the New
England states it is only $177.02 in
the south. The amount of savings per
capita of population in New England
i?$253.66, in the south $6.80.
Probably a good many Massachu
setts people read thA other day a short
newspaper dispatch to the effect tbat
an American elk had been shot in New
Jersey without realizing tbat tbe feat
could b4 duplicated in this state, pro
vided one wished to violate the game
laws. Two of these magnlflcent ani
mals, both bulls, are- still roaming tbe
old Whitney reservation, on October
mountain, remnants of a lirger herd
which formerly flourished tbero, and it
is Interesting to note also that the buf
falo on the Wlebita national forest re
serve, in Oklsboma. are not wild bison
of the Western plains, but animals
reared on the October mountain pre
serve, or tbelr descendants. It has
been demonstrated tbat tbe wapiti does
well In Massachusetts, and many more
of these animals should be removed
to tbe October mountain reservation,
whttb consists of about 13,000 acres
of land splendidly adapted to tha
propagation of wild life. A project
to have the state take over this prop
erty for a state game preserve bis
somehow languished of late, but there
are so many things to recommend such
action that It Is to be hoped that
the legislature will at least consider
It seriously. Htny of tbe Eastern
states are Interesting themselves along
these linos. The elk shot In New
Jersey had undoubtedly wandered
there from western Pennsylvania,
where a band of elk from the Jackson
Hole country of Wyoming wss estab
lished a fsw years ago, and other ani
mals have been liberated in the moun
tains of West Virginia, where no
donbt, they are doing welL—Boston

China to Take Western Advice.
An Interesting development In Chi
na Is the formation, of a political counv
til at which foreign advisers will have
voice and vote.
These foreign advisers have hither
to been retained at big salaries by the
Chinese government, but tbelr advice
bas seldom been sought and more sel
dom followed, unless It happened to
coincide with the plans of the Chinese
themselves.
Doctor Ooodnow's famous memoran
dum on tbe advantages of a monarchy
is an example of tbe use that was
made of foreign advisers. He wrote
this as an academic discussion of tbe
question on a theoretical basis. It was
Immediately published to the world as
proof that a distinguished republican
advocated a monarchy for China.
Generally those advlscm have drawn
their salaries In return for valuable
papers on various needed reforms
wbicb wore gratefully accepted and
burled In some pigeonhole of tho for
eign office.
Tbe formation of the new council
will bring the ministers in actual touch
with the arguments of the foreign ad
visers and will provide them with
some new Ideas.
