Health Officer Tells
How to Fight Fleas
Many Inquiries Are Being Made to
the Office of the Health De-
partment.

Omaha's public health guardians have
fought a good many epidemics, but they
are up against il this summer on the flea
question. Thomas Harrington, who sits in
the health office and tells people when
they ask how to exterminate all the various
and variegated vermin that afflict house
wives, has been frequently asked OF late
questions like these:
"Say-er-what-how do you get rid of
small insects-fleas. you know. We haven't
got them in our house, but we have a very
dear friend who has them. and We want
10 help her out"
Harrington solves the problem by sug-
costing a few disinfeetants that are sure
10 kin, and the housewife proceeds TO ex-
terminate her dear friends" little pests.
Some amateur scientists have ventured the
opinion that the locusts have been respon-
sible this year for the flea invasion.

COMMISSION RENTS FEES
Threatened Trouble Between state
Treasurer and Grain and Mare
house Body Is Averted.

Madison.-The misunderstanding
between the Wisconsin Grain and
Warehouse commission and state
Treasurer A. H. Dahl over the re-
mittance of fees held by the former
on July 81 last has been cleared up.
Former State Senator George b.
Hudnall of Superior, representing
the commission. turned over to the
state treasurer check for $1,000 as
the unpaid balance of the money in
the inspection fund of the commits
sion on July 81 and the suit threat
ened by the treasurer to comnel
payment will not be brought.
Under the law the commission is
required to turn over to the state
treasurer the unexpended balance in
its fund on July 81. At that time
there was about Sc 900 in the fund.
but the commission believed il would
need part of this to pay its expenses
until the receipts of the fall work
began to come in. In August it
turned over $500 and retained the
balance.
As more than. sufficient funds came
in during the fall and winter months
to pay the expenses of the commits
sion, it was able to remit to the state
treasurer the balance due, but it
failed to do so promptly and Treas
urer Dahl got after it.

to shoot.
Wolves and wildcats, he says, are
the worst destroyers of deer and
fawns, and he urges increasing the
bounty on wildcats to $40 and on
wolves to 5000. The rapid increase
in these animals, from ten to sixteen
year for each pair, he says, is MAX
ing them increase alarmingly

elimination of the spring season alone
will prevent extinction of the birds.

NURSE TELLS OF SKIN CURES

Il have seen the Cuticura Remedies
used with best results during the past
twenty years. In my work as a nurse,
many skin disease cases came under
my observation, and in every in
stance, | always recommended the
Cuticura Remedies as they always
gave entire satisfaction. One case in
particular was that of a lady friend
OF mine who, when a child, was af-
t1icted with eczema which covered her
face and hands entirely, breaking out
at intervals with severer torture. She
could not go to school as the disflgure-
ment looked terrible / told her to get
at once set of Cuticura Remedies.
After the use Of only one set she was

"A grown lady friend was afflicted
with salt rheum in one of her thumbs,
and she was cured by the Cuticura
Remedies. Still another lady had dry
salt rheum in both palms of her hands
every fall of the year. They used to
be so painful she could scarcely wet
her hands until she began to use the
Cuticura Remedies which cured her.
I have also seen them cure children
of ringwoFm. The children's faces
would be all circles and rings around
the cheeks, and the neck and after
treatment with the Cuticura Soap and
Ointment they were completely cured.
My husband had rheumatism on his
arm and I used the Cuticura ONT
ment. 1t made his arm as timber and
nice, whereas it was quite stiff before
l began to apply the Ointment
Last May l had an ingrowing toe
nail which was very painful, as the
side of the nail was edging right
down in the side of my toe. / cut
the nail out of the cavity it made, and
of course applied the Cuticura ONT
ment to the part affected. 1t soothed
1t and in less than ten nights it was
all healed through constant use of the
Ointment. Ten days ago had my
left hand and wrist burned with boil
ing lard, and Cuticura Ointment has
completely cured them. | have just
recommended the Cuticura Remedies
to another friend. and she is pleased
with the results and is recovering
