This disease, like certain other
parasitic diseases, is especially pre-
valent in time of wal and among
soldiers.
It is 81 contagious from contact
with a person who has it, from
clothing and bed coverings, that it
is desirable to know something about
it to be able to guard against it and
to take active measures against 1t
wherever and whenever it appears.
1t Is not only contagious; it is in
flammatory, and accompanied by
very annoying itching, which is
worse at night when one is in bed.
There are cases in which there is
no itching, but this is not the rule.
The eruption is located, in the
majority of cases, between the fin
gers and on the anterior or palmar
surface Of the wrists and elbows.
But 1t is not limited to these To-
cations and may be present in the
armpits, the groins, the legs, and
other portions of the body.
The eruption takes the form of
blisters or vesicles. The parasite
secretes a substance which irrftates
the skin and provokes scratching.
This intensift9s the eruption
which may become pustuIar and
present the appearance Of u~rticaria.

FARMERS: DECLARE ITS
WRONG :PtACE*T0 TAX

.Thefe$ is no farmer on the congress
siona1 Committee drawing up the new
tax bill That is why the country Is
to pay a 2-cent tax on gasoline. Above
all, this tax shoulde not apply to gas
oline used on farms. AS Arthur .Bris-
bane says in the Washington Times:
why implore the farmer to produce
more and then invent taxes for him
when he tries to do X? Gasoline on
the. farm is what the horse used to
be-: The various oil companies and
others can be trusted to tax the farmer
sufficiently" :
This editor suggests that the United
States government drill and develop
oil lands that the people own. Then,
by refining and marketirg>the product
direct, the people could pay the gov
eminent 10 cents on every gallon in
stead Of 2 cents and gasoline would
still cost less than It'll does now.
One by one the United States is
taking over the, primary industries.
Perhaps in time all that lies beneath
the surface will be considered to be-
long to the whole people. Until that
time, it is important that taxation
should be so laid as to shave some
thing from the war profiteers and not
skin the common people a1ive.-Farm-

LABOR COMMISSIONER + :

John P: Gardner of st. Paul, the,
new state labor commissioner sue
cessor to the late w. F. Houck, was
in the city last Friday consulting on
various matters connected with the
work of his department. Chief among
those which he is looking into is the
filling of the position of deputy state
labor commissioner for this district,
vacated when Martin Cole resigned to
go with the Federal Employment BIZ
rau. No Appointment has been made
to fill the vacancy, and until the next
legislature authorizes a larger appro-
priation for the work, none will be
made if Mr.sGardner finds that the
work can be temporarily done by the
other officials now in charge.
"The states work is seriously af-
fected by the question of wages and
salaries as any other business" said
Mr.. Gardner. "There is not man on
the labor departments staff who is
not being urged to return to his trade,
where he can make from $50 to SIC a
month more than he is by working
for the state, and, we must do some-
thing to keep the work of our depart
ment intact and efficient. If it is
found possible we will not fill va
cancies such as Mr.. Coles, but win
devote the funds to increasing the SAL
aries Of: the Officials who remain in

with eight cabinet ministers over
seas at one time matters which
should have been attended to at home

per.
THE postoffice department was
without head and any real manage
ment. The bonus allowed by parlia-
ment to the letter carriers was not
paid. Their representations, made to
the government from time to time,
were apparently shelved and neglect
ed. To arouse lethargic admins
tration the men finally took drastic
action. The strike, backed as it was,
by the sympathy and support of the
overwhelming mass of public opinion,
was effective in awakening the min
listers at Ottawa.
1.-THE government should realize
that the responsibility for the whole
trouble rests directly upon it's own
failure to do it's duty. Having been
in the wrong it should have been
manly enough to confess it's fault and
