Show Immune to Mosquitoes. Whtlo occupants of palace and cottage cot-tage In New Jersey, Staten Isls-nd and parts of Long Island cago themsolvoa within wire screonlng to escape the song and bite of tho malarious, mlaa-matie mlaa-matie mosquito, thereby shutting off half of their supply of air, tho cook-ladlos cook-ladlos and maids Bit on tho lawn, on Lh back stoop, on tho fence, or on the curbstone, In company of tholr "steadios," apparently oblivious of the clouds of tho peats that swarm about. I have Just been "put wise" as they say In toughdom. They aro immune. No mosquito would dream of Injoct-Inc Injoct-Inc his proboscis Into tholr cuticle. They rub tholr skin with nn oil mado from grass that grows in Ceylon and Singapore, and tho skeetors, objecting to lta fragrance, keep off. This la a common oil used In many soaps and porfumes. Our society friends may have to come to it. |
