Dissolve one bottle of ovelo powder In two ounces of water, moisten the hair Mosquito: "Any of certain dipterous Insects, of th-family Cull-, cldae having' a rather narrow abdomen, usually a long; and slender but firm proboscis.

The males have a featherlike antennae and the mouth parts are not fitted for piercing, but the females have slender antennae, and a set of needlelike organs In the proboscis with which they puncture the skin of fruits or animals to suck up their Juice or blood." Noah Webster. Mr. Websteif in his ponderous and well-advertised volume, also declared that mosquitoes were products of swamps and stagnant waters. He does not speak of their historical origin. It is' a well-known fact that the first American-born mosquitoes, were discovered In New Jersey shortly after the landing of the white man.

Nothing mean can be said about the male mosquito; he minds his business and leaves the sanguinary work to the women folks. In tne caae of the mosquito It can be truly said that the female of the species is more deadly than the male. She takes particular delight in poking her needlelike organ, as Mr. Webster called it, into mankind in general. Gallons of good, red, American blood is absolutely wasted each year through the activities of female mosquitoes, and efforts of various societies and organizations have resulted In only a multiplication of the insects.

They take particular delight in pestering the fellow who wears silk hose and low shoes, but are not respectors of persons. There is only one class of people who escape the vicious efforts of the mosquitoes the Eskimos but who wants to go to for the summer?"

They have found that in washing the hair it' is never wise to use a makeshift but is always advisable to use a preparation made for shampooing only.

Many pf our friends say they get the besy results from a simple home-made canthrox mixture. You can use this at a cost of about three cents a shampoo by getting some canthrox from your druggist, and dissolving a teaspoonful in a cup of hot water. This makes enough shampoo liquid to apply to all the hair Instead of- Just the top of the head, as with most preparations.
