The Undesirable Mosquito.

Preparations should be made
at once to down the undesirable
mosquito" is the suggestion
made by the Division of Zoology
of the Pennsylvania Department
of Agriculture. Mosquitoes car
ry the germs of disease and there
is no more potent dlssemlnator
of fevers. The utmost precau.
tions should, therefore, be taken
to keep the mosquito out of our
homes. ,
AS pools Of stagnant water,
clsterns and cess pools are breed
ing places of mosquitoes, Prof.
Il. A. Surface, the State Zoolo
glst, recommends that all tanks
Of water, clsterns, or vessels
which hold water, or which might
be filed with water after a ram,
be covered, or screened with a
screen of at least Is meshes of
wire to the inch. Standing wa
ter onslots or commons should
not be permitted. All shallow
lots should be drained and kept
dry, and post holes filed, old tin
cans and bottles emptled, and all
breeding places destroyed. All
stables ought to be provided with
air tight receptac(es for refuse,
and this refuse should be remov
ed every week.
Where there are large natural
bodies of water which cannot be
drained, the surface should be
dlsintected and oiled with kero.

intervals. Kerosene is lnvalu-
able IN this connection and 1t
is also good as a dlsinfectant.

pvols. Even the water used in
sprinkllng carts can be charged
with dislnfectants, and will prove
a valuable aid in keeping away
the mosquitoes. The proprietors
Of restaurants, meat markets,
milk depots and bakeries should
be compelled to screen their prem
lses as well as all receptacles,in
which water stands or food is
kept and prepared, IN order tc

A GROWING INDUSTRY.
The Demand For Automobiles in This
Country Increasing Rapidly.

The tremendous rapidlty with
which the business of making au.
tomoblles in this country has
grown within the last dozen years
is shown by statement recently
made by the general manager of
the American Motor Car Manu-
facturers' Association. A dozen
years ago, according to this au
thority, there were only about
one Thousand autos in the United
States; now there are 100000. In
other words the mum Der in that
period has increased one hundred
and sixty times.
Ten years ago there were TWEEN
ty-tve motor car makers In this
country; now there are more than
$50. 1t Is declared that more
money Is now invested IN the
manufacture of autos than there
is IN the making of all kinds OF
vehicles drawn by horses. The
total value of the autos made and
to be made in the United States
this year is put at $130,000,000,
which is five million more than
the output of horse drawn vehlc-
les for the year 1905, according
to the industrial census of that
year.
The auto is so popular that
there was scarcely any falling off
in the demand during hard times
following the panic of 1907. A
peculiar thing about the trade
and It's effect on other lines OF
business is that while even farm
ers are SAID TO be buying autos iu
increasing numbers, there has
been no falling off IN the price OF
horses. ln fact the breeding OF
| good horses has never been more
profitable than 1T IS now.

THE CHRISTMAS DINNER

In spite of the fact that the word
dyspepsia means literally bad cook,
it will not be fair for many to lay
the blame on the cook IL they begin
the Christmas Dinner with little ap-
petite and end 1t with distress or
nausea. 1t may not be fair for any
to do that-let US hope so for the
sake Of the cook! The disease dys-
pepsia indicates bad stomach, that
is a weak stomach, rather than bad
cook, and for weak stomach there
is nothing else equal to Hoods Sar-
saparilla. II gives the stomach vigor
and tone, cures dyspepsia, creates
appetite, and makes eating the pleas
uro it shC uld be.
