sistant clerks are women. and are en-
titled to the privilege just the same as
their male brethren. but It is a rare thing

Senator in charge has his clerk at his
elbow. ready at any time 70 find papers

Senator Scott, OF the Military Affairs
Committee, laid before the Senate the
Military Academy appropriation bill. He
had numerous papers 10 consult. but his
clerk was missing. The clerk in charge
was Mrs. Wells. and though she had the

"Hypo.sulphite Of sodais the

purchased at most drug stores
and is not expensive. Dissolve
this salt in water, making nearly
saturated solution and moisten
or battle the spots where chiggers
have burrowed. The pests are
evidently killed when the solution
reaches them through their bur
rows in the skin and then irrita-
ton ceases permanently, though
sometimes, two or more applica-
tions may be required for OBJ
stinate or deep set cases.
No harmful or disagreeable
effect has attended the liberal
use of a strong solution of this
compound except a slight smart
ing if the skin should be sore from
scratching.
The advantage which the use Of
this chemical affords over other
known treatment against chigg
ers consists in the repellent prop
erty of the salt, besides its
potency in suppressing the
maliant action produced by these
enemies when in the skin.
1t acts as cure and preventive
combined. In order to ward off
%chiggers, the solution should be
applied as needed to as much Of
the body as becomes necessary
to meet the extent of exposure.
To get full benefit, allow the
solution toidry on the skin with
out wiping. An application made

precautions in this lmanner, a

Chicago mail order house for a
shovel, and when it reached him
the freight charges were eighty
four cents. This, added to the
cost of the shovel. made about
two times as much as any Lamar
dealer would have asked for the

it from the railway and in thirty
days was notified by the agent
that there was ST. 80 demurrage

A Marais des Cygne incident
has the fish chasing the farmer"
yarn discounted. A farmer
near here went into his field the
other day in a boat and found a
fish hanging up in a persimmon
tree. The supposition is that the
fish bad been eating green per-
simmons and then had taken a
a bite at another. He got his
mouth too far over the twig and
at this stage of the game his
mouth puckered so fast that he
stuck on the limb. We make no
comments whatever.
