yellow and apparently of great age IN
the inside pocket Of his khaki coat.
But just, outside Fu-Chang he encount-

handed but unavailing resistance,
which, while 1t lasted, was joy to his
wild, reckless soul.
When darkness had fallen and there
were only the great, silent stars to see,
the two coolies came creeping back.
They found him lying in the mud, his
clothing torn, his face mass OF
blood, and one arm broken where he
had shielded his head from the blow
Of a cudgel. Near him lay two limp,
silent figures, their yellow features
livid and distorted.

them and bore him down the slough,
which was called a road, toward the
distant lights of Fu;Chang. But first
they rifled his clothes, and in an inner
pocket they came across a map and a
gold coin that the highwaymen had
overlooked. The map, having no in
trinsic value, they replaced.
They left him at the mission in Flu
Chang, and went their way, for the po'
tentialities of that golden coin were

He takes the public for his prey
And not content with fattening,

In salty he has fled and laughed,
To hear you curse your luckless star
He is the very prince OF graft!

CARE OF THE BODY
How to Acquire and Retain the Priceless Posses
sion of Good Health
To BaIk the MerciIess 'skeeter.


With the ferocious mosquito now
out hungrily seeking his prey, 1t
would be we'll for those leading an
outdoor life to know that good way
to keep these and similar pests at
distance is to apply to the hands and
face the following lotion, recommend
ed by the Journal of the Outdoor Life:
Spirits of camphor ................l2 ar
Oil OF lavender .................... DIR.
Oil of pennyroyal ................ dr.
Here's another hint from the same
journal. Scientists who have gone
boldly into the favored haunts OF the
mosquito to study his ways, have
discovered that the insects are par.
tial to some colors and averse to
others. They particularly dislike vel
low. Their favorite is dark blue, with
dark red next, then brown, then scar
let then black, then blue gray, then
olive green, then violet, then pearl
gray, then white.
1t should be borne in mind that the
mosquito is the chief source OF malar
ial infection. Certain species OF mos
quito constantly carry with them in
their bodies the malarial parasites
and in infiicting their bite they inject
some of these parasites into the
blood
DR.. Schoo has observed that when
mosquitoes have access to acid fruits
their bite becomes less poisonous, OF
quite harmless. And Professor Cell
has observed that in portions OF Italy
where tomatoes are largely cultivated
the people are practically free from
malarial infection, although the region
is naturally very malarious. 1t would
seem, then, that the wide cultivation
of acid fruits, such as tomatoes
STRAWBERRIES, and other succulent
varieties, may be made an important
factor in Kidding the world OF this
| very troublesome pest.
