PEDICULOSIS IN
SCHOOL CHILDREN.

Bobby Burns, the great Scotch poet,
sitting behind a lady in church saw a
louise on the lady's bonnet and wrote:
"Ah would that some power the giftie
gle us,
TO see oursels as ithers see u.s..
That was one hundred and fifty years
ago. and we still have the lice with us.
The public health nurse has found POI
of the school children examined har-
boring head lice; some Of the children
have had them for two years! The
acquiring of pediculosis is easy; the
getting rid Of this condition is not so
easy. Yet it is quite simple The
treatment requires efficiency and
thoroughness. Not only must the
children's heads be cared for, but their
clothing and bedding as well. If the
condition has not become chronic, it
can be eliminated in two or three days.
In some instances mothers have OBJ
tanned the desired results in a few
hours.
The most popular treatment for the
determination Of head lice is as fol-
lows:
Olive Oil Cor Sweet OILY kerosene
Oil-Equal parts, one-half pint of each.
Mix the kerosene and sweet oil, and at
night rub the mixture well into the
scalp, then. cover the hair with a towel
and fasten securely about the head.
Do not bring the head in contact with
a flame Of any kind. In the morning
wash the head well with soap and hot
water and vinegar. Then use a fine
comb wet in warm vinegar to remove
the "nits". Dry the hair well before
going out The application Of warm
vinegar is essential as it dissolves the
7''glue" which fastens the ''nit'' or egg,
to the hair.

Mr.. Warner told us what large or
ganization this is, as first we have the
National Farm Bureau, under that the
State Farm Bureau, under that the
County Agents and then the various
Farmers Clubs, covering the. entire
country
He then gave us a couple Of illustra-
tions Of what the Farm Bureau had
done. In regard to the valuations of
the. railroads the appointed committee
had set the valuation at twenty bill
lions sof dollars, and the Farm Bureau
asked for representative in the mat
ter, which was granted. Their man
managed to reduce the valuation to
thirteen billions of dollars. This saves
the people from paying the interest on
the differing seven billions, and at six
per centsit saves us forty two millions.
of dollars annually.
Another illustration was the repeal
of the daylight saving law, which the
Farm Bureau secured after being de-
feated twice. Enough signers were Sc
cured to convince both houses that the
farmers were opposed to this law, so
that 1T was passed over the .ptGsMehts
veto. Everybody knows What: this.
