germ OF malaria on his feet. as the
housefy carries the typhoid bacillus,
but In his salivary gland.
The mosquito is known as tho "in-
termediate host Of the rnalaria1 para
site. In other words, the parasite ia
received into the digestive tract OF the
mosquito and Hospitality entertained
and developed until 1t passes into the
~saIivary gland, from which It is In

Avoid the a~nopheles mosquito and
you will avoid malaria. Bad air has
positively nothing to do with malaria.

home. A small pail of standing water
will produce thousands. i have seen
countless swarms Of mosquitoes on a
golf course where the sole breeding
places were a few water boxes for
washing golf balls.
Allow no standing water around
your place. Screen your water barrel
or cistern. Pour coal oil along the
margin Of swamps or slew running
streams. Drain all stagnant water.
Deprive the mosquito Of q place to
breed and The fever and ague, will
nor ses you.
