THE SUMMER TO BLAME A Harley-street doctor said the in creased prevalence of the pests this year was due to the dry weather, which follow ed a wet winter.

"The rain during the winter, he said, caused a number of pools in low-lying districts. When the warm weather came. it had the effect of making these stagnant Such pools are the ideal breeding ground for mosquitoes.

All refuse should be burnt and not allowed to decay, and if these stagnant pools cannot be avoided, they should be- spry yed with oil or a specially prepared solution containing 20 per cent of cresol"

to elderly people. They should not re gard a bite merely with annoyance, but should take steps to remove its effects. "The best preventive is a dressing con taining citronella oil. This should be smeared on the forchend, hands, and any other exposed parts,

"Anyone who is bitten should im mediately put a drop of umonia or iodine on the affected spot.

My suggestion," he added, is that the duathin should be entirely dispensed with

MR HERBERT BENT.

The death has occurred of Mr. Herbert Bent, formerly of Canton, and Yokohama, where he was in former years engaged in the silk business. Mr. Bent was in his sard year, and had his home at The Mount, Shoreham, Kent, where he passed away on August 18th He is survived by his wife.

Mr. Relyon has purchased, from Mr. A. A Alves, Goldon Chrysanthemum, The Wasp and Auchenreoch, but the deal does not necessarily signify that we shall not see the Yellow and Terra Cotta, Hoops at the manual meeting. The first two ponies should soon pay for themselves, but I fear it will be difficult to place Auchenreoch to win races unless his new trainer can work the oracle."
