Dr. Nicholl, it was learned today, is closely watching the lexperiment. “Todine is placed in city jwater at Rochester each.six “months {for periods of threc weeks each, the theory being that sufficient jodine s stored in the evstem of the user to {supply the needs of the thyrofd gland {the remainder of tho year.

Dr. Ewing believes that their natural host is the rabbit. He has gathered up a half pint or more from one rab- bit nest.

In some of the rockier recesses of Rock Creek Park, how- ever, the insects are numerous. The best preventive, he says, is t6 dip the underwear in a solution of sulphur soap. Sulphur also can bé sprinkled on the body in small quantities. The chigger itself, brought under the microscope, Is an intensely active #peck of orange red. It required two years for Dr. Ewing to learn the food habits of the adult mite, so that he was able to rear them through the vear until the larvac stage was reached. He found them scavengers instead of predacious on other in- sects.
