Scabies.

In 1919 three thousand school
children in the City OF New York had
ScaoieS. An unusually large number
oil cases were discovered in a school
in Brooklyn and were traced TO elder
brothers who had lust returned from
hshtng in Europe and who had brought,
the disease with them.
Scaoies is caused BY a small ami.
nal parasite called the itch mite. The
mite is just big enough TO be seen with
the naked eye and TO be taken I'd on
me point of needle. The female
which is larger than the male, has the
unpleasant habit of burrowinp under
the skin of human being and laying
her eggs there. While so engaged
she naturally causes good deal of
irritation, the result OF which is an in
toleraole itching, that naturally leads
10 vigorous scratching, which in its
turn breaks its external skin. invites
sun other germs TO attack and so in
creaSes the severity of all the symptoms.
1t Is perfect house that Jack built"
OF annoyance and irritation.
In diagnosing scabies the doctor
looks for the little tunnels of the mite
which differentiate scabies from other
forms of itch, and which fortunately
are not hard to find. The mite attacks
the skin at its thinnest points-between
the fingers, for example; and the tun
nels show as little whitish lines in the
skin, At the end of which the mite il.
self is often present-a minute gray.

hands. Happily, the mites are easily
destroyed by local applications. which
are poisonous TO them. Until they arc

be kept away from his schoolmates
The health inspectors of schools should
keep an especially sharp watch for
scabies, for the disorder spreads rap
idly and is most dsagreeable.

The Lake of Asphalt.

The far-famed asphalt Lake of Trni-
DAD is not much to look ar. IL is A
slightly concave black patch of hun
dred acres with shores as definite
as those of lake of water. Il is sur
rounded by scanty brush and low,
thirsty palms. To the left the black
towers of half a dozen oil wells break
the otherwise blank horizon. A trade
wind almost constantly sweeps across
the field.
On the surface of the lake several
groups of negroes work leisurely One
man in each group turns Up with
every blow of his pick slack. porous
lump of pitch the size Of a market
basket; the others bear the Jumps away
on their heads to small cars that run
on narrow tracks. Other men push the
loaded cars to the factory. The pitch
is so light that the largest lump is
scarcely burden. The men arc paid
eighty cents a day of ten hours-a
sum that, as it seems big to them and
small to their employers, satisfies ev-
eryone.
This reservoir Of pitch is apparently
inexhaustible. The holes dug during
the day fill imperceptibly and are gen.
orally gone by morning; the deepest
one ever excavated disappeared in
three days. Only small part Of the
field is worked; it could easily keep
all the ships Of the world busy.
The lake, which, says Mr.. Harry A.
Franck in Roaming Through the West
Indies, has faint smell of sulphur,
is soft underfoot like tar sidewalk in
midsummer. II man stands still on
it for a minute or two, the heels OF his
shoes will sink out OF sight. In few
places it is not solid enough TO sustain
a mans weight, through children and

Little Girls Sight Restored.

Blind in both eyes for more than
a year, Jennie White, IA years old.
who had given up all hope of ever
having her sight restored. saw dayllgh,
thursday after an operation at the
Presbyterian Eye, Ear and Throat Hos
pital. Baltimore.
thursday was commonplace day
TOT most persons, but il was an ideal
day for Jennie. She was permitted
to look out OF the window on Baltimore
street for the first time and she saw
her first electric car.
And the people on the street. I
never saw so many at one time" She
said.
The girls home is in the mountainous
section of Pendleton county. West Vir-
glnla, near the town of Riverton. In
1919 cataract formed in one Of her
eyes. Then last spring a cataract az
peared in the other eye, and She was
made totally blind. Attempts of physi-
clans to restore her sight were futile.
All last summer Jennie, who used to
romp with her playmates, sat constant
ly in front of her home. Her parents
gave her dog for a companion and il
was not long before Jennie and the
dog were inseparable friends The doc
always was at her side.
The plight of Jennie aroused the
sympathy of residents of Riverton, and
several weeks ago the health commits
sioners of Pendleton county were in.
formed. County Nurse Rachael walr
was sent to Jennie's home. II was sug-
gested that the girl be taken 10 a hos
pltal in Baltimore. The parents were
unable to pay her transportation and
the Rivertonians held two benefits
to raise the money to pay the railroa1
expenses of the girl and the nurSc
Miss Walp took the girl to the hospital
three weeks ago.
After the operation the physician,
said Jennie must wear glasses. The
nurses at the hospital, who have be
come attached to the little girl, pur-
chased the glasses and also a doll.
Jennie told the nurses she never had
a doll.
Jennie is awaiting the arrival of her
father to take her home.

Aroused by advance reports of the
1920 census that the supply of horses
in the United States had decreased
more than two million in the last ter
years, the Horse Association of Ameri-
ca is planning to launch an intensive
drive to encourage horse breeding as
a factor in the country's economic dc.
velopment. The census reports show
there are now approximately 25,3O0 .
600 horses and mules in the country.
The association has completed sur
vey of horse power on the farm. which
shows that the cost of blowing witt:
horses or mules is cheaper than with
motorized p!ows. The association will
appeal to country bankers throughout
the United States to aid the farmer in
rehabilitating the horse market.

The Hampshire county court at 2
meeting last week decided to call an
other election Saturday, May 18th, for
a $4,000 bond issue to complete the
courthouse there, which is about half
completed. Several months ago. the
people voted against the bond issue,
which caused work to be stopped on
the structure, and the county is with
