MOSQUITOES ENEMIES

CHICAGO, March 17.-"Chills and
fever" are going to have their first
national or international recognition
by malaria congress" which will be
held as section of the third annual
convention of the National Drainage
Congress in st. Louis April 10 to IL.
DR.. A. w. Evans, recently health COM
missioner of Chicago, suggested it and
Immediately there appeared legion
of those who think that if there are to
be tuberculosis congresses and such,
neer days ought to get it's infamy into
the spotlight once at least.
Draining Swamp Lands.
The proposition of draining the
swamp and overlooked lands of the
country, as the Democrats, Republi-
cans and Progressives in their plat
forms declared should be done, arous-
ed DR.. Evans, who cherishes from boy
hood experiences a grudge against
"chills and fever" In discussing it
with Edmund T. Perkins, chairman of
the executive committee of the Nation
al Drainage Congress, he said no drain
age congress would be complete that
did not Systematically and effectually
hold up to public scorn the malaria of
the undrained districts, and the mala-
ria's first assistant, the mosquito.
His Arch Enemy.
AS result the mosquito will be there,
and will have to meet face to face it's
arch enemy, DR.. l.. o. Howard, chief
of the bureau of entomology of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. 1t was DR.. Howard who studied
the mosquito and it's ways as the pest
never was studied before. In the ia
nous bulletin 444, remedies and pre-
ventitives against mosquitoes" issued
two years ago DR.. Howard and his as
sistants were credited with giving the
mosquito knockout blow. 1t was in
that bulletin that drainage was given
the Importance as a health measure
that it already had attained as a
means to increase the countrys soil
wealth by fabulous sum.
In discussing measures of proven
tion against mosquitoes and the trou-
bles they are responsible for, the bull
letin said:
Needs No Argument.
Drainage measures really form a
part of the consideration of the treat
ment Of breeding places. The drain
age of swamp areas for agricultural
or industrial reasons needs no argu-
ment. The value of reclaimed swamp
land for various purposes is we'll
known. The drainage of swamp areas
primarily in order to improve sanitary
conditions and to reduce the scourge
of mosquitoes, which in itself often
prevents the proper development of
nearby regions, is in operation and
needs no argument Drainage on a
small scale for the purpose of doing
away with mosquitoes has been prac-
ticed for a long time, and in many
parts of the country large scale drain
age with mosquito abolition in view
is going on, notably in New Jersey and
in California. Methods of drainage can
not be entered into in this bulletin
but it should be pointed out that in
case of salt marsh land the operation
is inexpensive, and results of great
value have been reached both in Cali
fornia and in New jersey

Extend the Time
to March 81.

DR.. Stephenson, the Doctor in charge of
the United Doctors Office in Richmond,
wishes to make the announcement that on
account of not being able to see all who
wished to take advantage of their Free Of
fer, he has decided to extend the time to
March 31st.
The offer is as follows: Free examina-
ton, free consultation and free treatment
(medicines excepted) to all who call on or
before March the 31st.
A few have misunderstood this great Of
fer, and expected to be given medicine,
free also, and to correct this impression
we will state that all patients must pay for
their own medicine, unless they are worthy
of charity. The doctors services are free,
but patients should bring cash to pay for
their medicines.
The Richmond Institute has been opened
only few weeks, but during this time
many have called and been greatly benefit
ed. Mr. Fred Yedeling, who lives at 126

HEATscAusEs SUFFERING.

On Friday and Saturday OF last
week the mercury reached its high
est point in this Immediate vicinity.
There was much suffering among
man and beast because Of the ter
'rible heat. 3
Workmen who were engaged in
construction work on number of
buildings In process Of erection were
forced to quit. In numerous In
stances prostrations were the result
Of the heat. On Friday afternoon
a number Of the men engaged in the
wrecking Of the old building on low
er Franklin street were overcome by
heat and ON Saturday the force of
masons laying the cement blocks on
the Johnson building on West Main
street, were also. obliged to desert
their post o. duty.
Reports from the rural districts
are to the effect that in number Of
instances where threshing gangs
were at work heat prostations were
experienced. s..
Building operations have been ser
iously hampered because OF the con-
tinued heat Farmers who have their
grain threshed and are anxious to
commence their fall plowing have
found it mex to impossible to get
any Of this work done as yet.
While corn on sandy soil had suffer
ed to a certain extent, the recent
showers have helped toward revivtng
it. The corn on reasonably heavy
soil gives promise Of yielding fully
as heavy crop as last year Un-
less Delaware county is visited with
heavy frosts during the month OF
September the farmers Of Delaware
county will receive good returns from
their corn feds.
