INTENSE ITCHING WITH RASH

1896 W. Goth ST., Los Angeles CAL
AThe skin affection began in a little
red colored rash on my right leg. and
gradually spread to other parts OF my
body. Then small pimples appeared
and later several boils on my leg. The
skin around the boils was at first
bright red. and afterwards became
darker colored. The clothing irritat-
ed the sores. The pain caused ner-
vousness and loss Of sleep. and the
itching was intense. After using vari-
GUS remedies for about six months !
saw how a person afflicted with skin
disease was cured by using Cuticura
Soap and Ointment
'I bathed the sores with Cuticura
Soap and hot water and then applied
Cuticura Ointment and after about
six months' constant treatment the
sores gradually healed, leaving the
skin soft and smooth. Cuticura Soap
and Ointment effected a complete
cure" (signed) H. A. Robinson, Feb.

"The idea OF the large extension OF
the free list for the manufactured
products has been the fundamental
conception, while the effort has been
made to improve the status of the
manufactured lumber. Thus, sawed
boards, other than cabinet wood, have
been carried to the free list, while
sawed cabinet woods. which were
1915 per cent in 1912. are now 10 per
cent; casks. barrels. etc. which were
80 per cent, are now 14.77 per cent,
and house furniture. which was IS per
cent, is now 15 per cent.
Tobacco and spirits have been
found to be good producers of revenue
and have, therefore, been left at the
same rates as in the present law.

The patronymic of Thomas ". Bra

ed by his immediate forebears. Or he
might have anglicized his name and have

NOW BUzz|NG AROUND
This Is the Season When He
Nips UnWary Wash
ingtonians.

Mosquitoes are an unnecessary nuf-
sance in any community, according to
DR.. l.. O. Howard. chief entomologist
of the Department Of Agriculture
This is of particular interest to Wash
ington at this time, because this is the
mosquito season and the time when
the Washingtonian who stay at home
have to suffer for the sin of neglect
among those fortunate enough and
able to go out of town on a summer
vacation.
Oh. Howard says that. this being the
dry season of the year in Washington.
one naturally would look for freedom
from mosquitoes. but this is just the
time when the mosquito gets out and
gets busy. The reason is in the back
yard of almost every house in the city.
1t is the sewer trap connecting every
sanitary dwelling with the city sewer
system.
Cause of the Trouble.
Few householders have ever taken
the trouble to look at the sewer trap
in their back yard or areaway. If
they did they would find there was a
bell-shaped iron cap coming down
from the inside Of the familiar square
iron cap with the drain holes in it.
This outside of the sewer cover is the
only part the average householder
ever sees. The cap covers the entrance
to the sewer pipe. and there is a
small depression around it filled with
water that never completely drains off
and acts as water seal to the sewer
entrance. thus keeping back any Of
the offensive gases.
This is good and simple arrangement
a hon
but 1t is in this pool of water that nearly
all the mosquitoes of Washington breed
and DR.. Howard says 1t is not pleasant
to think that one Is being crawled over
and bitten by insects born and bred in a
sewer.
Worst Breeding Places.
The worst breeding places are the
sewer traps of the better class of houses,
where the inhabitants go off for the sum-
mer and leave the sewer unused. There
is trap of this sort in nearly every
back yard and areaway TO carry off the
rain water.
just a teacupful OF kerosene poured
into the drain will make it uninhabit-
able for the mosquitoes till after the
next hard rain. DR.. Howard says that
il you are troubled with mosquitoes look
around the house. first at your own
sewer trap and then especially at the
traps of any vacant houses in the neigh
borhood. Pour cupful of kerosene into
each one, and this will kill off the
mosquito "wigglers'' for the next ten
days at least.
OF course there may be other small
Accommodations Of water in back yards,
such as that in empty tin cans. broken
bottles or sagging drain pipes. Any
small amount of stagnant water will
do But the sewer trap is the worst and
most likely place. Therefore, watch the
sewer trap and head off the mosquito
1t is better than swatting him.
