POWDER IN USE - Filling the dust gun with DDT powder; one filling of the gun is sufficient to dust 100 men - proof of its economy in use. The dusting process is being done with DDT powder (though here the older mark of the powder is shown on the bulk container, the MO asserts that the powder itself is DDT). A "Superbilt Duster" is used, made by the Dobbins man CO of North Saint Paul, Minn. and Eikhat, Ind. USA. Advantages of the DDT powder is that besides being fatal to lice, it also kills other irritating body pests. The powder only leaves a mild smell of camphor and quickly disappears
