ABATE THE MOSQUITO.

Topeka and vicinity have not suffer
ed much from standing water this
spring. That is one of the compensa-
tions that go with a lack of excessive
moisture.
That there is at least little standing
water, however, is evidenced by the
exasperating song of an occasional
mosquito on the evening air these
nights. There are not many of them,
but even one mosquito proclaims
standing water.
The mosquito is a pest. He is far
worse than an equivalent number of
house flies. He-or she-can not only
create a vast amount of discomfort and
pain, but certain species are RESPONSE
BILE for malaria. Swamps and marshes
are supposed to be responsible for this
disease, but the responsibility comes
largely because of the breeding places
for malarial mosquitoes that swamps
afford.
Yet with a little care the mosquito
can be entirely abated in a community
like Topeka. All that is necessary is
to see that no water stands open for
several days at a time to afford a
breeding place for the pests.
Standing water does not necessarily
mean ponds or bitches covered with
green scum. Open rain barrels and old
tin cans hidden in the weeds Of vacant
lots, where the rain water in them
does not evaporate for several days.
afford the incest kind of mosquito
homes. Every "wiggler" in a rain bar
rel today means a mosquito next week.
And that mosquito-and the rain bar
rel-means several hundred mosquitoes
next month Do not wonder at the
presence of mosquitoes If you keep an
open rain barrel on your premises.
The way to abate the mosquito is to
cover the rain barrel with netting and
see that no water stands In old cans or
other receptacles in the neighborhood.
Persons who are so unfortunate as to
live in the neighborhood of little stag
nant pools that cannot be drained or
readily dried up. can destroy such
ponds as mosquito breeders by pouring
a little crude oil on the water-iust
enough to make a thin film. This de-
stroys the "wigglers'' when they come
up to breathe.
There is no use in a community like
Topeka tolerating a single mosquito.
Abate him.
