Mosquitoes.

Dr. J. H. Townsend, secretary of the state board of health in the monthly bulletin has the following to say about mosquitoes and the inspection of sum- mer resorts:
 On account of the unusually heavy rainfall the past month mosquitoes are likely to be more than ordinarily prevalent this summer, and it is very essential that the people unite in an effort to decrease the number of these pests.
 Mosquitoes can not breed without water. and in order for them to breed for about ten days. Wet grass, while it will attract mosquitoes, is not a breeding place Therefore no possible spot where water can accumulate should be overlooked. Mosquitoes esI- dom breed in large bodies of water; they prefer small pools. rain water that has collected in tin cans, buckets rain barrels, broken bottles, cellars that have water standing in them, badly drained roofs and leaders which per- init water to collect in the sa agging parts without running off. A single old bucket tomato can with water standing in 1t Is capable of furnish ing sufficient mosquitoes to make the neighborhood miserable After every rain storm househoIders should spend few minutes in an insi ectian of their premises to see that all possible recep- tacles or conditions that might permit water to collect are immediately re- moved.
 Inspection of Summer Resorts.
 At this season of the year the state board of health is active on behalf of the large number of citizens who make their summer home or spend their brief vacations al the shore or resorts with in the state.
 Inspector Ham of the board is now engaged in making inspections at these hotels and improvements are suggest ed. In most instances his suggestions are welcomed and the proprietors glad ly do their best to comply with the recommendations. 1t is generally found that the unsanitary conditions present are teh result of ignorance rather than due to wilfuI negligence.
