been thinking of nothing else.

"Al right then" said Connors. Ring the dinner

And with that he sprang at Jean like tiger. Our

him sudden jerk forward.

ground shoulder high, and then suddenly stepped
from under him, letting him fall with thud that

clasped his feet together, and locked them. Then
as Jean started to rise he half and turned with

back, squeezing the breath out of him as he rolled
over in his attempt to free himself.

gasped and struggled in the dreadful knee grip,

But poor Jean could neither get up even cry
nough. Two relentless knees holding him viselike

mosquitoes breed in sinks, rain
barrels, tin cans, partially OBJ
structed drains, etc.. and he en-
phasized the Importance of avoid
ing conditions about premises
that furnish breeding places. He
explained that the mosquito
whose bite causes malaria has
well-deflned marks upon its wings
and when seen upon a wall or
other surface it places it's
kind feet upon the surface
and that its body is at an
angle of about As degrees
with the surface; while the other
hind of mosquito-the town mos
quito has no marks upon it's
wings and when it lights upon
surface it curls it's hind legs over
its back and has its body parallel
with the surface. 1t will thus
be seen that your town mosquito
is rather inclined to put on airs,
but both kinds are danger

izens and the best way to
exterminate them is to keep
all receptacles in VIII c h
water accumulates free from
water, and in the case of ponds
it is best to cover the surface Of
the water with oil, which forms
an effective bar to their breed
ing. Also, the windows and doors
Of every residence should be
screened, which can be cheap
ly done by means Of mos
quito netting, if wire screens are
too expensive.
No less undesirable citizen is
the fly. Where filth abounds
there the fly doth much more

almost every epidemic of typhoid

breed in decaying vegetables
