Gentlemen on Capitol Hill move

matters OF great moment have de-

have wondered whether these mat

of living to the people'of the coun-
try to the extent OF three billion
dollars. Generally quorum was
not present, and there were times
when there was hardly any one
about to demand the presence OF

measure. this measure more mil

Attacks of Chiggers May be
Repealed By Use Of Sulphur

Popular belief to the contrary, II :
only in a figurative sense that chg
gers get under your skin. The little
kill-joys of the summer picnic IN the
woods are right there on the surface
all the time, and it's just because
they are too small to be readily seen
without a magnifyiag glass that The
victim thinks he has been burroWed
into or entered by way of his pores.
This is one OF the new lights
thrown upon the pest by Department
Bulletin $50, Studies on the Biology
and Control of Chiggers, prepared b.
II. K. Ewing, specialist IN mites, ana
now issued by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture.
The chigger doesn't make his pres
ence felt at once. He first scurrles
about on the victim so fast that even
when he is spotted under a magnify
inc glass it is almost impossible 10
catca him Evidently, he tries 10
see how far he can go, for it has
been determined that tight pieces Of
dress, such as carriers and belts, lin
il the altitude Of operation. Almost
total immunity has been secured by
wearing top shoes and tightly wrap
ped leggins. Low shoes are particu-
larly favorable to the acquisition OF
chiggers. When a chiger finally de-
cides to attach himself, he clamps
down by inserting his feet under the
skin, and then the trouble begins.
Much protection can be had from
chigger attacks by properly clothing
the legs or by the application OF re-
pellents either directly on the skin
or on the under garments. For this
purpose, sulphur has been found to
be a sovereign remedy. busting the
legs with sulphur has resulted in to-
tai immunity in most instancesfi and
a similar treatment Of the stockings
has proved equally effective in keep
ing off the mites. Infested areas may
be freed of chigers by busting with
sulphur. For this the use of so
pounds to the acre is recommended.
On lawns the use Of sulphur If I'M
necessary, as chiggerS will disappear
of themselves if the grass is kept
cut short
Chiggers can be best destroyed on
humans before they become attached

husband about ii last month
The girl said she innocehtly lured
Bergen to his death she stated she
was invited to The Cline home in the
belief that Cline had 90 given all and
wanted a reconciliation between her
and ISrgen.
The girl bore out Clinc's story that
he killed Bergen in seif-defense when
the latter attacked him just before
they were to fight . duel to the extent
Of stating that the two heatedIy
talked of "fsnting it out" in The attic.
However, Miss Thorton denied that
Bergen had a gun, as Cline contends
Mrs. Cline today gave the inside
story of what happened in the Cine
home last Friday night.
George accused him Of attacking
me and called him rat" said Mrs
Cline.
Bergen said, Yes, ! know I'm a
rat l know | am no good. | am
dirty. But you know all women are
