flea and Pulex penetrans, tropical
fauna. the female penetrating the
skin and producing severe infiamma-
tlon and swelling, perhaps Suppura-
ton. The insect must be dug out by
means of a heated needle and the
wound treated as any infected wound.
Various other feas and ticks are
dubbed "chiggers" in the United
States, such as the wood tick, which
may leave its proboscis in the skin If
forcibly removed. 1t is better to
dampen the wood ticks ardor with a
drop of turpentine or peppermint oil
or tobacco juice, when he will let
go. Another popular "jigger" in
Canada and the United States is the
harvest mite, almost microscopic in
size and red in color, abounding in
the late Summer in harvest field,
berry patch, weeds and grass. The
mite does not burrow in the skin like
a true chigger. but lodges in the open
ing of hair follicle or sebaceous duct
A warm salt bath is a relief, or ap-
plicationS of benZin or sulphur oint-
ment will kill the mites. 1t is a good
plan to wear armor against the straw
mites, or leggins, CATERS or high
, boots outside of breeches, and to
sprinkle some powdered sulphur in
the stockings before entering infested
fields.
Caterpillars-They don't bite, but,
oh boy, they can set up furious der
mathis from the netting hairs stick
ing on the skin. If 1 were a COM
mittee of one to confer awards for
intense itching l should unhesitatingly
give the gold medal to ivy poisoning,
the silver medal to orthoform
erythema and honorable mention to
caterpillar rash, having given each a
thorough trial. The irritant princi-
pie is unaffected by water, alcohol or
even weak acids, but is soluble. in
weak alkali solutions; so the affected
skin should be washed first with a
solution of 20 grains of sodium hy-
drate to a pint of water, or a tea
spoonful of washing soda to the pint
of water, and afterward bathed with
any soothing lotion.
The standard soothing lotion which
is probably best for the relief of Itch
ing and burning in most emergencies
is known as calamin lotion and con-
siStS Of
OXld OF zinc. c..............2 dramS
Calamln .......z Grams
1lycerln .....-- Grams
Lime water. er..............4 ounces
Plain water or rose
water .-...............4 ounces
This mixture should be shaken up
and applied by dabbing on the skin
with the fingers as often as desired.
When itching is very intense a little
phenol (carbolic acid) may be used
in the formula, say two ounces Of
the per cent solution Of phenol
(Which the druggist may sell without
prescription), instead Of two ounces
of the water. This calamin lotion is
suitable for relief of itching or burn
ing in hives. erythema. sunburn and
numerous other conditions

MOTHERS
AND THEIR CHILDREN.
Play Apparatus.

One IIlUIHVT says.
We have an arrangement in the
back yard for children's play appa-
ratus which is comparatively cheap
and serves the purpose unusually Well
Two uprights 6X6 are set in the
ground four feet apart. They are SEa
feet high. Across the top of them is
laid another 6X6. long enough so that
1t extends out at each end feet. In
the middle, then, is space for a swing,
and on the free ends may be hung a
parallel bar and a ladder. or what
you will The supports may be
stained brown, and the general effect
is not at all disfiguring to a well
kept yard.

The average cash fare of the elec-
trio street railways in the cities of
the United States now is 7.5147 cents,
or just a fraction over 7h cents.
This is based upon the fares charged
by the street car lines in 272 cities of
the country having a population of
$4,000 or over on March l of this wear.

My Neighbor Says:

Perspiration stains may be re-
moved from white clothes by
dampening the article with
lemon juice and salt before the
clothes are put into soap and
water.
Iodine should be kept out of
the reach of children, but in an
emergency it is we'll to know
that the antidotes for iodine
taken internally by mistake are
mixtures of -four or starch
water followed by large emetics
and treatment for shock, which
is external heat, rest and fresh
air.
A clothesline that is left out
in all kinds of weather is very
difficult to wipe clean enough so
that no black streaks are left on
the clothes. An excellent plan
is to tear an old sheet into
strips about inches wide, pin
these along the line, then hang
up the washing. There will
then be no dirty streaks on the
clothes when dry.
To stiffen organdies starch
them in clear thick gum arabic
water.
If you will keep the oven door
of your gas range open until 1t
is cool after you are through
with your baking, instead Of
keeping it open after you light
it, your oven will not rust.
Closing the door after you turn
out the flame causes the oven to
sweat and consequently rust.

 * * *
 A recent article by lawn Troy which was really the Empires reply to a speech made by Hazeltine, pro- hibition director, condones the vio- lation of the Prohibition Law. He claims that because it is impossible to drive the violators out of busi- ness, it should be allowed to con- tinue.
 The illiterate towns of Rake, An goon, Bayview, Hydaburg have very little trouble with violation of the liquor laws of the United States. The territory does not think enough of these thousand or more people to give them a commissioner or deputy mar shal. If the highly literate town )f Juneau wherein the Empire tries to sway public opinion were half as re- spectful of the laws of the land it would be mighty fine town to live in. Let us have more of this kind of illiteracy.

title is not in the Brotherhood at the same time it belongs to them as citizens of the respective towns. The progress of the Natives in the First Division is very encouraging. The schools are being we'll supported.
 * * *
 Some people decry the making elective the office of Commissioner of Education They claim that this will put it into politics. When Hen derson appeared before the legisla- tive committee with a bill which would prevent any Indian child from having opportunity of going to the public school and in the same bill gave himself a raise of thousand dollars year for so doing, was he putting his office into politics or taking it out of politics? The trouble with some politicians is that they are poor sports-they make rules for their game and when they get beat at it they yell "Unfair' and want the rules changed.
 * *
 In the solving of this school ques tion it is we'll to think of the Pre- amble to our constitution and also the Golden Rule What was it about Liberty, Equality and Justice? Was that not intended for the poor h. dian who has been insulted anu wronged from the time of Columbus to the present day? And is the Golden Rule not for the Red Race when it says, "Do unto others as ye would have them do unto you."
 
 When Christopher Columbus first landed on the American Continent, he fell on his knees and then on the Aboriginees. The remnants of the old Shackleford gang at Juneau are trying to fall on the Aboriginees but because they cannot make a success of it they want decent voters to help them out in their crooked game.

Sisterhood, of thirty members. We hope that you will spread the news to the Grand President MT. Simp- son, and ask that you grant us charter. Will you please tell MT. Simpson that Rake has added one more joint to his backbone. The of ficers are: Mrs. Mary Cooday, pres ident; Mrs Fred Wilson, vice-pres- ident, and Mrs. Edith Williams, sec retary'
 A new Camp of the Sisterhool has been organized at Ketchikan, Alaska. The names of the officers will be published in the next Fish erman. They start with nine char ter members.
 The Native Village of Rake, which is often times held up as the orig inator of mass-voting, of illiterate voters, has just installed an electric light plant of their own, and every house in that Village will be lighted by the municipal plant. To show how little this progressive town is understood, we will further state that this town has it's own hall, measuring about so feet by 40 feet, built entirely by the native citizens there, who contributed their labor; they own their own sawmill, their own cooperative store, they built their own sidewalks with lumber cut in their own mill, and they have their own Salvation Army Post, which meets in a hall of their own, and they have their Presbyterian Church, which is presided over by one of the citizens of the town. This citizen is Haines Dewitt, a gradu ate of the Sitka Training School and of Chemawa.
 The A. N. B. of Wrangell are now on the way to securing one Of the finest Brotherhood halls. They have purchased what was known as the "rink" from William Lewis. This will give the Wrangell Camp fine boost and many of the younger men have now made application for mem bership. The members have been out logging and have repaired the foundation to the building. Next fall they will put a new roof on the building.
 The following Brotherhood camps now own their own halls, all of them of dimensions of about 80 feet by 40 feet. Sitka, Douglas, Juneau, Angoon, Yakutat, Rake and Wrang ell. In the other towns, namely: Bay View, Hydaburg, Hoonah and La Hho
