FRENCH WANT ARMY
LARGE AS GERMANY

Paris, Aug. 24.-Though engaged in
demobilizing her entire reserve army
France will maintain numerical SUI
premacy of at least three to one over
Germany's military forces, thus guar
anteeing the outcarrying of the treaty
terms.
At the present time France has
nearly two million men under arms,
but the present rehabilitation plans
call for the discharge of all but 900 900
before Nov l. Germany now has
about 100000 men in her volunteer
armies. This number must be re-
duced to 100000 during the next few
months. Hence, in November, with
Frances demobilization completed and
Germany reduced to the army permit
ted there by the treaty, France will
still have full control of the situa-
ton.
On March 81, 1920, Germany will
have to have demobilized all but a
permanent standing force of 100000
men. France will on that date still
have 100000 men demobilized, or a
superiority of six to one. Not only
will France then be in position to
watch Germany closely, but she will
be aided also by the occupation fore
es of the United States, England and
Belgium
With Germany thus reduced in mil
itary strength, France has hopes of
also lessening the term of service for
her troops. The French have in the
past been driven to long term obliga-
tory service by Germany. The fu-
ture promises to remove this cause
permanently The 100000 men France
will for the time being retain under
arms consist of two classes, those of
1918 and 1919 as well as the profess
sional and colonial troops.

Anti Ginger Measure
Is Warm Salt Water

Persons working in the harvest
field, berry pickers, picnickers in
fact, anyone who goes into long grass
and weeds during the summer and
early fall-after few hours often
suffer from the attacks Of the "chig-
ger" or ''jigger", parasite more cor
rectly known as the harvest mite.
The effects of the harvest mite on
the skin of man are a most intense
itching sensation at the point of at
tack and well-defned eruption in
the center of which a fairly distinct
point containing the parasite may be
observed. After a few days the irri-
tation ceases. However, when the
patient scratches the affected parts to
any extent, the skin may become in
fected from the finger nails, resulting
in the formation of scabs, crusts and
pus.
frequently the exact cause of the
trouble is overlooked and the victim
attributes it to wrong diet, bad blood,
eczema, or some condition produced
by change in the general health or
the climate. Finally it will be found
that the very minute red mite is re-
sponsible for the trouble.
It is believed that the mite either
feeds on the surface of the skin from
where it rapidly retreats into hair
follicle or the duct of an oil or sweat
gland, or that it Immediately enters
one of these openings and then pierces
the deeper layers of skin with its So
called beak. The chigger usually at
tacks the skin Of the legs and body
where the clothing presses tightly,
though it is not restricted to these re-
gions.
BY applying warm salt water to the
body shortly after exposure the irri-
tation may be greatly lessened. The
application of benzine, kerosene, or
carbolized vaseline will kill the mites.
To allay the intense itching which
often occurs at night, sponging with
per cent carbolic acid solution is
very effective.
As means of preventing the at
tack of the mites, flowers of sulfur
or powdered napthaIine may be
sprinkled in the stockings and the
underclothes. It is claimed the in
sects and their use makes it possible
for persons who are susceptible to
their attacks to work in badly infested
places with comparative safety.

REINDEER ONLY WEALTH OF
SAMOYEDES.

New YOrk-In the extreme north
of the Russian province of Archan-
gel dwells one of the queerest and
least known races of mankind. There
are the Samoyedes. the wandering
tribes of the vast frozen marshes
which extend in these regions from
the forest belt to the shores of the
Arctic ocean. They worship idols and
their sole wealth consists in rein
deer. Living, the reindeer draws the
sledge which transports the Samo-
yede and his belongings from spot to
spot in search of the game and fish,
which constitute his principal sus-
tenance. Dead, it provides him with
meat in times of scarcity, and with
skin for the family tent. With its
sharpened bones he tips his wooden
fishing harpoons and hunting spears
It's sinews he uses to sew together
the shirt, breaches, and boots of seal
skin, which are the attire alike of the
Samoyede men, women and children.

PLAGUE OF INSECTS
MAKES NIGHTMARE
OF TROPICAL CRUISE.

New YOrk-The four-masted Amer
lean schooner Augustus G. Hilton fin
ished her first round trip voyage on
Thursday with the record of one of
the most narrowing experiences ever
reported by deep sea vessel The
schooner left Buenos Aires, June IS,
with a cargo of corn in bags, and a
plague of weevils developed when she
was ten days out. These pests multi
piled so rapidly that life aboard the
vessel became almost unbearable. The
men could not sleep upon the deck
without killing thousands of the in
sects, and sleeping in the fOrecastle
became impossible. The men placed
hammocks in the rigging and kept
the wecvils from invading these quar-
tiers by surrounding the masts with
bands Of cotton soaked in molasses.
Capt. Orlando c. Sawyer, comman-
der Of the vessel has one good eye
and this was attacked by the weevils.
The pain became so severe that he
threatened twice to commit suicide
and was watched closely by the men.
He was taken to the marine hospital
upon the arrival of the vessel. At
times the swarms of insects jammed
the steering gear and it was neceS-
sary to keep stream of water play
ing about the helmsman so that he
could remain at his post The men
filed their ears and noses with cot
ton to keep the insects out.
"They was as big as bedbugs and
had a bite like a lobster declared a
negro member ofsthe crew, who said
that he never would sail on vessel
with corn for tropical port.
