FACTS ABOUT MALARIA.
How Mosquitoes Breed the Disc ase
and It's Prevention.

The Department of Agriculture is
continually getting out bulletins for
the farmer, concerning various topics
of interest. Among the recent bulle-
tins was one prepared on the sub
ject, "Facts About Malaria" The
disease, known as malaria, is caused
by parasites that enter the blood,
and feed on the red cells. Warm
climates are peculiarly conductive to
malaria, and 1T is chiefly. in such
climates that malaria is worse
These parasites multiply very rapid
ly and in a short time millions OF
them are in the body. 1t may hap
pen that after having been treated a
person thinks he is free from the dis
ease, and has killed out all but one
of the parasites, but this one may
multiply and give him fever again.
The fever itself is not so dangerous
as is the fact that it weakens the
body, leaving it an easy prey should
death approach in another disease.
The way these parasites are car
ried about is chiefly by the ano-
pheles mosquito. This mosquito
having fed upon person already in
fected with thes malariaI parasite,
gives this parasite to every other
person he bites. This mosquito sell
doms bites before sundown and there
are two ways of distinguishing him;
by the way he holds himself upon
the wall, usually the body of a mos
quito is parallel to the wall upon
which he is standing but this mosqui-
tos' body leans away from the wall
at an angle; then the wing of this
special mosquito is spotted.
These mosuitoes seldom travel
more than half a. mile from Their
breedin~ place, and that is why some
regions are said to be malarious.
There are three different ways to
fight this malaria. First, by me-
chaniaally protecting yourself from
the mosquito by screens, nets etc.
In Italy, where the disease was
especially prevalent several years
ago, it became rule that persons
had to wear wells and gloves in some
district. By this means of mechan-
ical protection the malaria rate was
reduced from 65 or 70 per cent down
to a.. but here it remained. The
second method is that of extermi-
mating the mosquito. Take care that
all cans OF water, pools Of stagnant
water, and even the bacl2wateT of a
running stream, be watched and
guarded. There are many ways OF
killing the mosquitoes, two simple
ways being to pour oil Or throw
lime on the waters where they are
breeding. The third method Of
fighting malaria is that of systemati-
calIy treating the malarious infected
district, usually with quinine. In
italy. free Quinine was distributed
by the government, usually prepared
in some chocolate or other sweet
confectionery. BY this method the
malaria rate vas reduced to per
cent. DR.. Ronald Ross, the dis
coverer of the relation of malaria
with the mosquito advises that an
adult patient take five grains Ct sui
phate of quinine every day for four
months, together with whatever de-
tails of treatment the attending ply
sician should direct.

SCARED TO DEATH
THE SAD FATE OF A YOUNG NEW
YORK BRIDE.
The Glowing Eyes and Shrek of An
Owl at Window Too Much for
Her

The strident scream of an owl and
its shadowy form and cleaning eyes
frightened Mrs. O'Neill, the beautiful
bride of Assistant Corporation Coun-
sci James T. O'Neill, of Brooklyn, to
death Tuesday night.
The bird first appeared on Monday
night while Mr.. and Mrs. O'Nelll,
with hands on each others should
ers were walking along the road
from fashionable Argyll Park to
Babylon. 1t few in front OF their
faces, then hid in the trees and
screamed.
The sunshine and the bright green
cry. of Argyll Park banished from
the minds Of both, on Tuesday, all
memory of the incident. Tuesday
evening they started again upon their
customary walk to the village. They
had scarcely left the lights Of home
behind when double shrek, long
drawn out and terrifying, assailed
their ears, and a spectacular form,
with huge yellow eyes, sWoopet
swiftly toward them. It veered
off only within few feet.
After taking Mrs. O'Neill, who
was frightened, home. O'Nelll
started out again alone, recalling the
lines from Macbeth:
# was the owl that shrieked, the
fatal bellman
Which gives the stern's goodnight.
Later Mr.. O'Neill and his bride ex-
changed some joking words about
her fears and retired. Of sudden,
when all was still, there came a
blood-chilling shrek, a tearing OF
claws and beating of wings at the
wires of the window screen, and the
vision of the great golden eye peer
ing in from the darkness.
Mrs. O'Neill started up with ar
answering scream, then fell back

reentered the room. There was nc
reply. He snapped on a light. His
bride way lying senseless. He sprans
to the telephone and called Father
Logue, priest of Babylon. Then he
called doctor.
The priest was first to come. There
was still life in Mrs. O'Neill as he ad-
ministered the last rites Of the
church. But just as he had finished
the priest touched his hand to q
wrist and said to Mr.. O'Neill:
"She's dead, my son. "

MYSTERIES OF THE SKIES

Nor is the human body exempt from the joyful feeling that rain en- genders after days of drought. This month has been remarkable for the extreme dryness of the atmosphere. which accounts for that curious sense of relief. described by some one as though you had premonition you were just about to hear good news. which many have noticed after the recent heavy rain.
 When the monsoon first bursts in India, men. women and children will turn out into the rain and laugh and shout with gladness. The excessive sunlight has been held by medical authorities to be at the root of this labor unrest. Frontier officers all ways tell you there is more trouble among turbulent wild tribes during a dry year than a wet one.

II |S ONLY
 A MISTAKE
The Democrat is Led Into Making Some Unfair Statements but of Course it Will Now Tell the FIX act Truth.

Recently the Young Mems Phoenix club. a non-p partisan organization oi this city. invited several of the repub- lican and democratic candidates to at tend dinner at the club and to de- liver speeches on the issues of the campaign. a night being set apart Tor the candidates of each party. Com menting on this occurrence, the Demo- ocrat of yesterday has the following to say:
 Tn reference to the Young Mems club there is not much to say. Very few people ever took this gang very seriously, and now that they are side stepping and flirting with the repub- lican candidates, they will have fewer

friends than before This club ar ranged with the republican state nom inees to hold a meeting at which the republican candidates were to be in- vited to talk The candidates accepted and then by jockeying around and waiting until such time as it was impossible for them to accept, they extended q similar invitation to one or two of the democratic candidates, knowing well that previous engage ments would prevent their acceptance of the invitation. In connection with this it is a significant fact that the secretary of the club. F.. s. Curtis. is the republican nominee for clerk of the superior court. This organization is also supposed to be without poll tics and the Democrats advice to its members is the same as is eXtend- ed to the Y M. C. A
 It is conceded that the Democrat means to be entirely accurate in this matter but it has been misinformed. The truth is that three of the leading democrats were invited Two of them sent word that they could not come, and just before the meeting George Purdy Bullard, the third man invited. informed the club that it would be impossible for him to be present.
 So far from there being any attempt to freeze out the democratic candi- dates, every night from tonight until the date. Of election is open for them. The banquet and speaking will occur on the night they can find it possible to attend.

Germans are Ready for
 their Elections WILL CHOOSE RE|cHsTAG
In That Country as in This a Reduction of the Tariff and the High Cost of Liv- ing Are Among the Is Sues.

BERLIN. Nov. 23.-The announce ment that the Reichstas elections will be held on January F fines :he Nari- uus political parties ready to begin an unusually active campaign.
 Indications are that the elections will call out an unusually large per centage of the voters, the people be- ing discontented with various matters. The Moroccan question perceptibly in creased the discontent of the people. and it is evident from the columns of many of the most loyal newspapers that d general feeling prevails that Germany has lost prestige during the controversy with France
 The high cost of many of the nee essarieS of life and the refusal of the imperial government to make any tar tiff reductions. to admit frozen meat from Argentine. and to grant other measures of relief has further deep ened the general discontent.
 The bitterness caused by the pro- longed controversy over the financial legislation of 1909 also remains most intense. and it will probably be the most influential factor in the cleo tions Although there are many par ties in Germany, il has seldom oc- cured that the government groups and the opposition parties have been so clearly separated. on the side Of the government are the conservative and clerical parties: opposed to it are the national liberals, radicals and so- cialists Although the three last named are themselves sharply divided. it is certain that they will assist each other in many districts upon reballots after their own candidate has been eliminated on the first vote.
 The conservatives and clericals vii! even support each other on the first vote in districts where they see that they cannot possibly elect their o"n man. Nevertheless. it already seems practically certain that they will sui fer a severe defeat on January 12.
 Tn many extra elections held within the past two years a heavy shrinliage of conservative and clerical votes was observed, and these parties haze lost a number of their stronghOlds n the lii erals and socialists Thee leIical party. for example. has lost three seats within a year on by-elections, two to the national liberals and one to the socialists. Recently their candi- date was defeated at Constance by above 1000 majority by a national lib- eral although the clericals had held the district uninterruptedly for about twenty years: and several weeks ago they lost Dusseldorf to the socialists after having steadily held it since the empire was founded.
 The conservatives were also busted from several of their strongest con stituencies by the national liberals and radicals owing to this drift among the voters. these latter parties and the socialists enter the campaign with unusually high hopes, especially the socialists.
