BARRIERS at Rehoboth and some other
points down that State where the festive
mosquito at times is wont to hold sway,
have hit upon a happy plan to relieve
their patrons of the pests. After each
patron at Rehoboth is shaved the BARRIERS
take highly scented bottle from which
they produce soothing, pungent liquid
that is thoroughly rubbed into the fresh
ly scraped skin. In addition. to inspir-
ing a pleasing sensation, the liquid
leaves scent that is repugnant to the
pesky mosquito, and he avoids the man
who has been under the skillful manipu-
lation of the barber. Thus mosquito
proof faces" are the newest things
down at Rehoboth, and the men who
frequent the barber shops are quick to
appreciate the innovation.
