y man in Texas who has found out a
new way to fight the mosquito. His
name is DR.. Charles r. Campbell. He
Is official bacteriologist Of the city OF
San Antonio.
His idea is to employ bats as mos

San Antonio is especially plagued by
mosquitoes-malaria Is more or less
rife in that vicinity-and for a long
time past the inhabitants of the mu'
nicipality and its suburbs have eager

problem. Much benefit has been OBJ

Singing and the Lungs.

II Is we'll known that singing, like
whistling. Is a fine exercise for the
lungs, and some doctors advise those
who fear consumption to 60 IN for
singing for this reason.
At the same time they. OF course.
do not advance the claim that singing
alone will save anyone from or cure
consumption. Acquire the habit OF
taking the big deep breath. which is a
primary requisite OF any kind OF sing
ing. bad or good. and the physical
JOY derived from II will never allow
you to relapse into lazy breathing.

Policeman Fried was on fixed post
when a man came along and told him
about the miniature arsenal. II did
not scare the policeman q bit. He
sauntered over to the hallway and
bore down on the embryonic western
terror. Without pulling q gun on him
and telling him to throw UP his hands
he grabbed him by the scruf of the
neck, gave him an old-fashioned clou,
and said:
Sonny. what have you got in your
pockets?"
With an awful scowl the boy bandit
faced his captor. The oficer took him
upstairs where the family was found
IN a condition OF terror. Fried then
took the pocket edition OF Jesse James
to the West side police station.
The two guns were fully loaded. The
