MOSQUITOES.
II Is well known proven scientific
fact that mosquitoes. besides being q
pest, are carriers OF diseases such as
malaria, yellow fever and dengue.
The Board Of Health invites the co
operation OF citizens in its efforts 10
diminish their numbers and to reduce
the areas in which they breed. Mos
quitoes always lay their eggs in water
as the young (larvae) cannot live else
where. They rarely fly far and their
presence is usually accounted for by
the existence Of standing water close at
hand. The eggs and larvae abound in
ponds, pools, puddles, cisterns, rain
barrels, watering trOughs old tin cans.
bottles, clogged cutters, and, in fact,
everywhere where even a little water
is allowed to stand a few days. Elk.
perience in other places has shown
how much good has been accomplish
ed by giving attention TO all the
standing water in the neighborhood.
In permanent ponds fish and frogs, II
in sufficient numbers. will destroy the
eggs and larvae, but care is needed to
see that small ponds are filled up or
treated with oil. A little kerosene oil
put into standing water spreads easily
and rapidly over the surface, and with.
out injuring the water for other pur.
poses, destroys the larvae and prevents
the laying o. eggs. An ounce two ia.
blespoonfuls) OF coal oil Is sufficient for
fifteen square feet OF surface; and an
application is effective for two weeks.
at the end Of which time It should be
renewed.
Good results are reported from put.

patching fences the next morning
Bishop sent over for Pole Baker to
drive the spring wagon. Alan sat be-
side Pole, and Abner and Bishop and
Mrs. Bishop occupied the rear seats.
Alan knew he could trust Pole, drunk
or sober, and he confded his plans to
the flattered fellows ears. Pole seemed
to weigh all the chances for and
against success in his mind as he sat
listening, most grave and porten-

presented, there were not enough
