not considered as deserving Of any
sympathy from mankind but, on the
contrary, are deemed for various
reasons our inyeterate enemy, it,
therefore, seems proper for any ccm,

discriminating measures have been
successful in practically freeing the
localities of them. For Cairo the
following particular reasons may be
mentioned for campaign against
mosquitoes.
J. General annoyance While
some seasons are much worse than
others still every year mosquitoe
are a nuisance for three or four
months.
q The screening of houses and
porches is very expensive and so
much of a luxury that a great many
of US can not afford it.

their number materially. 1t t. a we'll
