Besides being IN fntolerable nuisance.
mosquitoes are the only means by which
malarial fever is carried"
NO standing water, no mosquitoes
No mosquitoes, no malaria"
The above quotations are taken from a
pamphlet on THE determination Of
Mosquitoes" Issued by the Health De-
partment Of Richmond ana fully In
dOrsed by Health Officer W. c. Wood
ward OF the District
DR.. Woodward said today that while
not as prevalent as formerly, the cases
OF malaria may be reduced still more
by following the suggestions made by
the Richmond board Of health. The
filling in Of the Potomac fats. he said,
has reduced malaria 10 a large extent
but a great reduction can be made by
the observation Of certain regulations.
The local department, he added, has
not the means 10 conduct a campaign
against the mosquito. but results can
be obtained by the cooperation of the
citizens in hghting the pests.
Breed in Quiet Water.
The following is taken from the bull
letin issued by the Richmond author
sites:
ANY collection Of standing water
from an old tin can or bucket 10 a ditch
or ponds a good breeding place for
mosquitoes. Do not permit such 2. breed
ing place 10 exist on your premises and
DO not tolerate any on the premises of
your neighbors."
II kerosene oil is poured over the
water containing mosquito larvae or
pupae, II forms a thin film over the
surface and the young mosquitoes can
not stick their breathing tubes through
10 get the air One quart of kerosene
oil is sufficient 10 form a film over "A
pool twenty feet in diameter.
Regular applications OF kerosene oil
once week during the summer and fall
Will, therefore. be certain to prevent
any breeding of mosquitoes in the pool
so treated.
What a Can Can Dc.
But pools and bitches are by no
means the only breeding places for mos
quitoes. A single old bucket or tomato
can. left with water standing in IL, or
so left that it can become filed with
rain water. is capable OF furnishing a
sufficient number Of mosquitoes 10 make
the surrounding block miserable.
"A very little effort on the part OF
everyone will rid the -ity Of mosquitoes,
making malaria a rare disease and en-
able you 10 sit out of doors at night and
sleep with comfort. If you regard this
as worth while, do your part.
ANY person with malaria who neg
lects treatment is not only losing valIi-

steadily undermined, but he is also a
menace to others"
