HOW TO CATCH THE MOSQUITO
By Holding Your Breath You Can Get
Him in Grip Like
ViSa

But few persons know it, but 1t is
a fact, nevertheless, that a mosquito
can be caught without any sort of trou-
ble" said Butte man, who has just
returned from a camping trip.
1T is the easiest thing in the world
to do, and, while the discovery may not
solve the whole mosquito problem. and
may have no particular bearing on the
dissemination of germs by these flying
peddlers, it will certainly console the
fellow who lives in the mosquito belt to
know that he can catch anoDholes, culex
or any of the others, and then execute
them as fiendishly as may suit his mood.
1.-TWO thing are absolutely necessary
in order to make the capture. The mos
quito must be allowed to light on ones
body. Then he must be allowed to un-
sheathe his labium, and begin his boring
for oil. blood or whatever his appetite
may crave.
when the mosquito gets into this posi-
ton he is absolutely at the mercy of
the fellow whose corpuscles he is seek
ing to rifle. One may make a prisoner
of the mosquito without stirring hand
or moving a muscle. How? Simply quit
breathing. Sit still and hold your breath.
The mosquito with all the force of his
wings and legs could not break away
from the spot where he had sunk his
beak and the only remaining thing to do
would be to slip ones fingers up under
his wings, get a good firm grip on his
back and then swat him In the head or
STAY him in some other way.
THE method is very simple when we
come to think of it. While we breathe,
of course the pores of the skin are kept
open, if the body is in a normal condi-
ton. This condition. of course, is Of
great aid to the mosquito, although his
lance is probably keen enough for him
to break into a corpuscle without this
assistance. When we stop breathing the
pores close, the hole in which the mos
quito has showed it's beak contracts,
and it is impossible for him to break
away. Simple, isn't it? Try it. 1t will
work like charm if you go about it
in the right way, and besides it is good
sport, even if one does have to give
enough Of ones blood for mosquitoes

QUESTION ANSWERED.

Yes, August Flower still has ire larg-

world. Your mothers and grand
mothers never thought of using any
thing else for Indigestion or Bilious

seldom heard of appendicitis, Nervous
Prostitution or Heart Failure. etc. They
used August Flower to clean out the
system and stop fermentation of undi-

liver. stimulate the nervous and Or

all they took when feeling dull and bad

THE Panama canal is certainly des-

much talked of Nicaragua canal. Wheth-
