Capt. Charles Kieeffer, United
States army surgeon, says the Phil
ippines are infested with mosquitoes
more troublesome and dangerous from
medical point Of view than those
that swarm in the Jersey swamps. A
strange malady known as filaria is
traced directly to them, and is COM
mon among the American soldiers
quartered on the islands. Soldiers
contract the disease by drinking
water from stagnant pools in which
the mosquitoes have laid their eggs.

constant cough The sufferer is
worst at night, and the patient be-

The only remedy lies in an opera
ton, which in itself is dangerous and
rarely successful. If the worm, which
is female, is injured and dies
through the operation, its poison gets
into the blood. the disease is increased
thousandfold and the chances Of re-
Covery are small.

SUPERIOR COURT.

Tn the superior court, short calendar session, yesterday, Judge Shumway heard three motions relating to the af- fairs of the Lion brewery in Alling- town. ..>
 On motion of Receiver Charles F. Bollman, for compensation, his pay was fixed at $6 a week.
 Motion for permission to foreclose mechanics liens was heard but decision was reserved. These liens amount to S33. coo.
 Attorney Tillson wanted permission to take out of the brewery a carbon ator delivered there year ago by a New York concern. The machine is worth S4,500. He said the machine was put in under conditional sale and should not be counted among the assets os the estate.
 Attorney J. B. Ullman, representing Rourke Brothers, objected to the pro- position. He disputed the conditional bill of sale and said the machine be- longs to creditors the same as any other asset. There will be another hearing on this question.
 The matter of amending the time for a sale was deferred. Attorney Will liam A. Wright, representing the re- ceiver, said the parties in interest wish ed to talk it over. .
