usually bites in the daytime. although
it likes to keep out of the sun.
Neither of these mosquitoes is as big

that they cause many other diseases

and are great mosquito breeders. More
over. much of the water is kept in open
barrels. and the garbage is left in un-
covered cans or in open boxes until taken
away. Later it is loaded upon street
car made for the purpose. and thus car
ried out to the crematory or incfnerator.
The covering of the garbage cans would
take away great deal of the rat food
