Easy to Prevent Mosquitoes.

From the Columbus (Ohio) Dispatch.
NO one is especially fond of mos
quito bites. OF at least we have not
learned of such a person." writes Prof.
]. r. McClintock. I'm fact, the irrita-
ton from mosquito bites Is often in
tense The pain may be relieved by
wetting the affected area with diluted
ammonia, the ordinary household am
monia answering the purpose very
well. But why the continued annual
torment of mosquitoes?
These pests do not fly far from
their birthplace, which is some collec-
ton OF stagnant water. This need not
be In q pond or swamp, In fact, 1t is
more often in rain barrels, open els
terms. tin cans, broken crockery, small
pools. ~depressions In caves, or in any
the place where q few 'wigglers' may
exist for q few days. 1t Is far more
satisfactory to prevent the mosquitoes
from breeding around the home than to
be ~cverlastingly fighting mosquitoes
and ~doctoring their bites.
Fish, ii kept in any small ponds
about the premises will keep them free
from mosquitoes. Tin cans and other
rubbish should be cleaned up, wet,
damp placs drained, rain barrels and
cisterns covered, and pools covered
with q Aim OF kerosene. A very small
quantity of kerosene is sufficient to

The E%mbusques.

The French papers have been busy
of late with the case of the "em-
busque," which is the name given to
the man who chooses a safe job in
the army. An incident seen last night
on the fringe Of Soho suggests that
1t is also applied to those who do not
choose the army at all. A couple of
French soldiers Over here on leave
(they were in joyous mood. coming
down a side street, passed the kitch-
ems Of a well-known French restau-
rant. They were attracted by the sight
of the cooks in the kitchens and
studied them attentively through the
grating. Then they began to taunt
them with shouts of "Embusque!" The
harmless necessary French cooks be-
low, startled In this rough way in
their ambush" were furious. There
was an angry gathering of pots and
pans and an elaborate slanging match
between the cooks and the soldiers.
The language was rich and varied,
and in the storm the sharp word 'em-
busque" sounded like a bitter refrain.

ceIIuIoid Watch Crystals.

At the outbreak of the war Americ-

cerned regarding the watch crystal sit
u%ation; the German source Of supply
being shut off. and previous attempts
to make them in this country having
failed.
Watch crystals of glass are now be-
ing made here successfully, and an
American inventor has helped the
matter along by devising a celluloid
watch crystal, which has the beveled
edge and general appearance of a

UNITED STATES IS !
JAPAN'S BEST CUSTOMER =
Samuel g. Blythe In the Saturday Eve

4a' No. " ~ -.
Samuel g. Blythe in the Saturday Eve
ming Post.
Baron Eato, Japanese minister OF for
eign affairs, put his finger on the realest
OF all real reasons why Japan desires no
wal with the United States when he SAID
the United States is a good customer OF
Japan. !.
The United States is a good customer OF
Japan; In fact. the United States is ia.
pans best customer. Japan buys large of
millions OF yen In favor Of Japan. We
buy most of Japan's raw silk-practically
all OF 1T now that France is out Of the
market; nearly all of its tea, and a great
quantity of It's other productions. In turn
Japan buys cotton and other goods from
US; but as things now stand, II the United
States were eliminated as a customer OF
Japan, Japan would be ruined or SO hard
hit as to be practically ruined.
Japan wants trade with US, not war
toner, but China buys far less than we
90. And people seriously think-or say
they do-that this nation of keen traders,
where money Is so much needed, will go
to wal with that sort of customer over
anything less than a national dishonor.
Ihe japanese resent their treatment In
California because of their intense nation
atty, their Representatives,. and their
great endeavor to hold a foremost place
with smaller substance than some of their
~neighboTs, and they will be cold toward
US. But they will not sacrifice that Gus
toner over n grievance than their bet
ter sense tells them is no national af-
time.
Again, this country of approximately
60.o0O,GO0 people has a national debt great
er than that of the United States. I have
not the figures in detail. but as I remem-
Der them the Japanese national debt,
probably increased by the participation in
this present war, Is about 81, $50, 600, 900, |
while the national debt OF the United
states is not much more than 81, 00o,0o 600.
1 give these figures as approximations, as
authorities are not at hand here In Japan.
To get q bit farther: The national wealth |
while our national wealth Is practically
Si60, 600. 100000 or S165, 000, O00, 600, or there
apouts--a few billions ono way or another
gun anywhere from 20 to 40 per cent, or
higher In some cases.
Think that over, and think what the
of the United States would mean to Japan |
IN the way OF increased expenditures, |
There IS small danger. |

IDAHO LAND BOARD AC-
CEPTS THE WATER BID.

BOISE, Idaho, July 10.-The proposal
Of the Utah Construction company to
enter into contract with the settlers
on the Big Lost River project to deliver
two acre feet OF water under the new
contracts was accepted by the state land
board at meeting held today. Attor.
ney General Peterson stated the pro-
Tosal of the company briefly. The com
pany will replace with a safe dam the
present Mackay dam, which has been
declared impracticable and unsafe
Water will be supplied in the amount of
two acre feet per acre, provided that
much water is found available If it
is determined that the amount of water
stated is insufficient to satisfy crops
the company will increase the allowance
to suit conditions before it applies for
the segregation of any more land than
is now included in the project. The price
of water right will be $4 per acre. The
settlers will have twenty years in which
to pay and will make no payments until
water has been delivered.
