Mosquitoes.
Spartanburg Herald.


The department of public health OF
the city devotes the front page of its
bulletin for June to pointers for a
successful war on the mosquito. So
far, Mr.. Mosquito has not arrived,
but it is perl aps just as we'll to con-
slider few days in advance of his
schedule the character of the recep-
ton to be given him, in case he
should put in an appearance. Here
is little information about mos
quitoes that the health department
would have you store away for your
guidance in cooperating with that
department in eliminating the pest:
"No standing water, no mosquitoes.
No malaria, no yellow fever. Mos
quitoes breed only in water, either
fresh or polluted. They do not breed
in grass; but rank grasses, weeds and
other forms of plant life affords a
safe shelter for the adult insects. It
is therefore desirable that rank weeds
and grasses be closely cut.
inspection by the health depart
ment has shown tnat there are many
mosquito breeding receptacles to be
found in back yards, vacant lots, al
leys, areas in and about stables, sheds
and tie space underneath verandas,
such as barrels, garbage buckets,
tubs, pals, water-troughs, glazed flow
er pots, cans, bottles and boxes. These
receptacles should be emptied of wat
er and should be broken and buried.
eff a barrel, bucket or otner re-
ceptacles must contain water, it
should be emptied and washed out
every four or five days; or covered, or
screened tightly to prevent the en-
trance or exit of mosquitoes.
Before leaving for the summer
thoroughly cleanse the house gar
bage bucket and place it empty in
the house cellar. 1t should never be
left standing with water in it, either
in or outside the I5ouse, during the
mosquito season.
"House cutters frequently become
obstructed and defective. They should
be cleansed and Strengthened that tney
may drain thoroughly.
Stable cellars very often contain
stagnant water. These cellars should
be thoroughly drained.
Catch basins, cesspools and stag
nant water should be oiled every two
weeks. Use one ounce of oil to ev-
cry ten square feet of water surface.
"The suppression Of mosquitoes is
furthered by efficient drainage or fill
ing of wet areas. Kerosene oil can
be used where draining or filling is
impracticable
Trouble from mosquitoes about
your house indicates standing water
either on or closely adjacent to your
premises.
Mosquitoes as a rule do not ap-
pear very far away from their breed
ing places"

Couturiers and Patrons Agree That
 Pongee Makes Good Summer Costumes
Models Are Being Turned Out Suit Every Hour Between K Dawn and Twilight-Appears in Many
 Shades.

If there is any sort of daytime sum- mer costume to which pongee may not be adapted, the counturlers and their patrons have not heard or it. De- signers are turning out models suited to every hour between dawn and twilight and customers are eagerly ordering copies of them.
 This is because pongee is now pro- curable in whatever shades other silken materials are shown, and be- cause this long wearing weave is bet ter suited to morning costumes than any other similar material. Only the prosperous business woman, who necessarily must dress for all day, would think of appearing at the breakfast table in taffeta frock. Yet for years pongee has been the favorite morning sarb material for well-to-do housewives, and from be1ng made up into skirts and loose jackets it has at tained the dignity of a strictly tailored One-piece creation.
 Self-colored braid bindings are a salient feature of the latest models in pongee morning frocks. One popular lnodel in natural toned silk has blouse which acquires a jacket effect by virtue of a front panel buttoning along either edge from the center of the shoulder seam to below the bust and extending over the skirt in two points ending on the hips. Where this side-extended panel crosses the top of the skirt it becomes a straight band which at back-center joins with a third TOW of Self-colOred buttons
 Coming directly below the waist line, which is not visibly girdled, this band looks like the smoothly fitted Eraid-bound yoke of the flaring skirt whose front gore. trimmed to the knees with a double line of buttons takes a panel appearance. Half oval flaps on the hips of the simulated jacket indicate the position of pair of pockets too small to De other than purely ornamental. Narrow braid - hound bands a the wrists restrain the fitness of bishop sleeves, and a mar Towly rolled collar is joined by wide. flowing tie in white polka dotted blue foulard.

WHAT SCLATICA IS

There is something terrifying about the word sciatica. Yet sciatica is nothing but neuralgia of the sciatic nerve and neuralgia is an inflammation caused by lack of nourishment.
 Application of dry heat as hot sand bags or flannel to the course of the in- famed nerve often quiets the pain but it does not feed tho nerve. It is temporary relief, good thing to know about, but not remedy.
 What causes the nerve starvation that results in neuralgia and sciatica and how may it be corrected?
 The most common cause is rundown physical system and frequent exciting cause is exposure to cold. Thin blood is often at fault. It is through the blood that the nerves get their nourishment Mortal man knows of no other way of getting nourishment to 8 nerve. There fore when the blood gets thin and fails to feed the nerves they show their resent ment by becoming infamed. Try Dr. Williams Pink Pills at this stage and see how the inflammation subsidies as the enriched blood carries to the starved nerves the elements they need.

DELIGHTFUL COMEDY
 IN GEO. OCEANS PLAY

Successes scored in the past by the Lyceum Players are dwarfed beside the great success attained in the pres- ent weeks production of George Co., hans musical comedy The Man Who Owns Broadway" The hit which IS made in this delightful attraction cov- CTS every feature which goes to make for a great dramatic accomplishment. The characters are cast as if written for this particular player and the stag ing is as if for for a Broadway crowd. Everybody who has seen the pres entations up to the present time says that the results are beyond their ex- pectation. The players themselves take a special pride in the excellence reached in producing this offering. There has not been disappointed person at the performances so far and the same satisfaction is sure to obtain in the remaining presentations. The chorus from New York helps out in the production. AS the members of the company are heard in their solo numbers they win more friends and rise higher in the esteem of the pa- trons MT. Cross's number I'm the the Man Who Owns Broadway" and Miss Callaway's singing of I'm In Love With One of the Stars" are big hits. The company parading through body of house waving their perfumed handkerchiefs is one of the novelties and is popularly re- ceived. The advance sales are large and they bespeak capacity houses for the remaining productions. Ask some of your friends who have seen the attraction how they like it. They will tell you it is the best yet.
 The next attraction will be "The Three Twins. This production is secured through special arrange ments and will be the biggest feature in carrying otlt the development of the trade in New Britain idea. While the merchants are showing the best in their windows the manage ment of the Lyceum will be producing the best dramatic attraction ever of- fered in New Britain. .# ..

When the death of the "Clutching Hand" exposed the dual existence of Perry Bennett, her lawyer, Elaine Dodge thought that at last her persecution was at an end. But The Serpent Sign,' the chapter which will be shown today and to- morrow, proves that that was not just so. Watch today's chapter and be treated to many more sensational sur prises.

NOTED MAGICIAN
 IS ON KEENEY'S BILL

While all the acts at Keeney's this week are very entertaining there is none that gives quite as much plea- sure as the Billy Johnson cabaret per- formers. This speciality is provided by a double quartet of trained peo- pie. They are singers and dancers of ability and the entertainment they offer gives general satisfaction. The act is of a character that appeals to all classes of theatergoers. It is light, refined and amusing and it we'll merits the recognition it receives.
 This weeks sensation is given by Del Adelphia, the celebrated magician. Adelphia is one of the most noted He does a number of incredible things through his ability at palming and keeps his audience baffled at every stage. His cabinet mysteries are or iginal and strange indeed.
 Jack Marks, the diminutive com edian, is one of the most popular per formers on the bill. Jack is a midget, who for the past few years has been making himself famous in English music halls. Since coming to this country he added new laurels to his collection and he is today rec ognized as one of the leading Lilli- putian funmakers on the stage.
 The Loge troupe has @ repertoire of tumbling tricks that is of high caliber. The singing of the Lang weed sisters is also deserving of at tention. #-

POLL PATRONS LIKE
 POLLY OF THE CIRCUS

A mighty interesting bit of the life of circus people is told in Margaret Mayo's comedy drama, Polly of the Circus,'' in which the Poli Players are appearing before large audiences in Hartford this week Polly of the Circus makes it's bid for public ap- proval on two grounds-as a play and as a production. On either basis it would be a decided success for it tells an interesting romantic story in clever way and as a production it i'm troduces features which well nigh seem impossible for the dramatic stage.
 Manager Thatcher has succeeded in presenting a circus scene that rivals that of the original production. To create the proper atmosphere it is necessary to introduce clowns, aero bats, aerial performers. contortionists and other entertainers of the tented shows and these arc all specially en- gagged for this weeks production with the Pol Players. A team of hand balancers, aerial workers, clowns and the others give their acts and add diversity that is indeed unique for q dramatic production. It is another evidence of the standard of Poli stock productions and Manager Thatcher has been warmly congratulated by hundreds of regular patrons for the excellent features he has introduced in the play. Next week the Players will offer William Anthony Me Guire's truth telling play, The Di- vorce Question:"

WILLIAM FARNUM
 COMING TO FOX'S

If a vote were taken tomorrow on the question of who is the most pop- ular male screen star there is not a shadow of doubt but that William Farnum, who plays "The Niger at Fox's Friday and Saturday would be unanimously elected Before he en- tered the world of motion pictures. he was one of the best known actors in the country. He created the heroic characters of Ben Hur and Prince Ma hammed in "The Prince of India" and originated scores of other great roles. He is now indeed enjoying popularity and is known from coast to coast In Philip Morrow, the gover- nor of southern state and a profess sed "Nigger- -Hater" who discovers that he has the taint of black blood in his own veins, MT. Farnum attains the most remarkable chara acterizatiol even his fine art has ever accom- plished. It is in every way a wonder full performance gauged by any stand- ard that Mr Farnum gives in "Tho Niggcr" as picturized by William Fox, under the direction of Edgar Lewis, and the greatest work of it's author, the famous dramatist, Edward Shel- don.
 Without in the slightest degree be- ing guilty of straining for effect or overacting, MT. Farnum depicts sue cessively and with wonderfully con- pellant effect the changes in Morrow from a carefree, ambitious young man, with great political future be- fore him, to the almost tragic scenes in which Morrow learns that he him. self is one of the depised race

MINES EXPLODE ON ROCKS.

Amsterdam, Jan 2S.--Mines along
the Belgian coast near the Dutch
frontier are so numerous that eXplo-
sions on the rocks or i'm the surf are
OF almost hourly occurrence. A cor
respondent says that he recently
counted over a hundred mines. They
were like large kettles of fire eX'
tinguishers,' he says. with num-
Der of copper points sticking ont OF
them. They are SO plentiful as to
lead one to believe that the entire
coast waters must have been filled
with them in expectation OF an al
tempted landing by the allies. Sol
diers at Zeebrugge, Heyst and
Knocke are kept busy exploding the
mines that are thrown up on the
beach. The explosions are some
times very violent making the ground
shake for a great distance in all de
rections.'
