Mosquito Dope.

DR.. L. %. Howard, the government
chronological. who makes speciality of
the study Of insects and who Is supposed
to know ali about their likes and dis-
likes, has prepared q recipe for mosquito
dope that is recommended as being aec-
ond to none of the numerous formulas
in use. 1t is as follows: Oil Of cedar,
one ounce: oil Of citronelIa, two ounces;
spirits Of camphor, two ounces. He also
suggests that little oil of citronellas
placed upon a towel hung in the immed:
late vicinity of campers will keep Mos;
quitos away. The Duluth Herald, Civ.

gests as further protection, the wearing
OF piece of yellow cloth about the neck

.DULUTHlAkS COMPL AIN

Of the Scarcity of Lake Superior
Fish.
Even the rich are denied Lake Super
ior fish at present, says the News rrlb-
une.
There may be a few in circulation
somewhere, but there is none to be had
in the local market at any price.
Dealers in Chicago and the Twin Cit
les have been calling up local houses
frantical!y on the telephone and sending
rush messages in efforts to get some
trout and other fish which swim IN our
cold waters, but the local dealers have
been forced to impart the intelligence to
their anxious brethren in other cities
that there is absolutely nothing doing.
Trout are quoted at 10 cents, but they
cannot be procured at that price or any
other. The warm weather is given along
Michigan street as the reason for the
shortage. The fish are seeking deep
waters, beyond the reach of willy fisher
mon.
Whitefish-the Lake Superior variety
ARE also conspicuous by their absence
from the local market, and will be for
two weeks more. The whitefish now
offered come from Winnepeg.

To help out the overworked circular
skirt is one style which has been find
ing great favor. It Is something like
the circular skirt OF the winter-the
particular model which had tucked
panels down front and back. This new
skirt has those panels with an extra
plating set in on both sides, running
only about half, way up from the hem
of the skirt-enough to get around the
question of the circular cut without
disturbing the smooth set over the
hips. -..

KILLING BABIES
SEEMS QUITE A COMMON PRAc,
TIcE IN CERTAIN SECTION
OF wETzEL COUNTY.

NEW MARTINsv1LLE, W. Va,
Feb. SO. P. Mcintyre "a business
man Of smithfcld, wetzel county,
made some sensational statements
here Saturday to the condition Of So
clety In that section. He states that
about three weeks ago, child was
found wrapped in some dress goods
to an abandoned belt house of an OIL
well. The child was fully developed
and had been dead some days, but
the most remarkable part of the story
is that the child is still lying in the
belt house, as no one wanted to move
It without authority from the officers,
who have given no information. Mr..
Mcintyre laid the matter before E. L.
Robinson, prosecuting attorney and
the case will be investigated.
