1.-THE BULLETIN co.
IN DEFENSE or THE SWAMP.
Southern Writer Sees Little Harm In
Them, But Public Opinion Is
Against Him.

Out OF Georgia comes defense and
even praise OF the swamps. DR.. Ro-
land Harper IN a publication of the
Georgia Forest association. declares
that swamps are not so black nor so
noxious as they are painted, the Wash
ington Post says. He even predicts
time when swamps will be reserved
as parks for the preservation of their
scenic beauties, which are not yet APP
preciated by nature lovers An addi-
tional reason for preservation of the
swanps he finds in the great need OF
forestation for the protection of the
sources of streams, an argument in
which there is considerable merit, al
though most of the great swamps are
found not at the sources of streams,
but near the mouths of rivers
From time immemoral swamps have
been identified with malaria and other
fevers and diseases. Dr. Harper thinks
they have been much mallgned in this
respect. declaring that there can be
no objection TO swamps on hygienic
grounds since the discovery that
malaria is spread only by the agency
OF mosquitoes. But right here the doc.
tor overlooks the most potent argu-
ment for the draining of the swamps,
for it is only by drainage that the
great breeding haunts Of the mosqui-
toes and other disease-bearing insects
can be rendered innocuous. The exist.
ence of large swamp near any center
of population is a grave menace to
health and inevitably reduces the eco.
nomic, industrial and social efficiency
of the people in the vicinity. As The
south is to-day the greatest sufferer
from the blighting effects of malaria
and the diseases that follow in its
train it is somewhat remarkable that
a defense of these pest spots should
come from the pen Of an intelligent.
observing southeTner 81
II is a matter of history that can be
verified BY reference to any standard
textbook that malarial diseases have
disappeared from Europe and the
northern part OF the United States in
almost exact proportion to the drain.
ing of the swamps Il is a necessary
step in civilizations battle with dis.
case. The widespread aversion 10 and
dread of swamps that refuses 10 recog.
nize their aesthetic values. which DR..
Harper deplores. is a deep-seatedi
popular instinct founded upon cen
utries of bitter warfare with swamp
bred disease.

Keeping Healthy.

II has been demonstrated that the
size. strength and health Of every part
Of the body depend on good blood and
pure air. II the stomach is supplied
with unhealthful food, or if 1t is
loaded with more than the body re
quires, the blood becomes impure, and
consequently all other parts suffer
more or less from the cause If the
air you breathe is loaded with efflu
via from the lungs and skin. or is di-
luted by being over-heated. the system
suffers for want of oxygen.
