Prevention Of Malaria.

Dr. Molloy of the Government
 Public Health Service delivered
 a very interesting lecture to a
 fair audience of local citizens Wednesday night at the court
 house, his subject being How To Prevent Malaria"
 The destructive record of the
 mosquito in the worlds history furnished an introductory to his subject, the speaker later dem-
 onstrating through established tests that the mosquito was the
 sole conveyor of malaria, which he stated was practically the on- 1 ly disease about which we know
 every material fact necessary to it's eradication.
 How and where the mosquito
 breeds, the three kinds found in this section, how the Anopheles mosquito becomes infected with the malaria parasites from ma- larial carrier, or persons whose blood contains the malaria germ and how they in turn convey the
 germs to other people were all very plainly shown as we'll as the preventive work that should
 be undertaken in every com- munity,-proper drainage and screening of houses.
 'Stereoptican slides were used to illustrate the subject and the manner in which it was so con- prehensively and plainly treated by Dr. Molloy is certain to ac- complish great good through the education of our people against this enervating disease, so prev alent in our lowlands.
 Drs. Molloy and Taylor, the Public Health Service Physi- clans who are Investigating ma- larial producing conditions here, will be in Newport until noon to- morrow and will continue to take blood specimens in the morning at the City Drug Store. Thursday they visited two or three schools in the vicinity of Newport, where they delivered short talks on malaria to the children and took blood speci- mems.
 They wish it understood that they may be found at the City Drug Store from eight o'clock until noon tomorrow morning and any persons who may wish to give them blood specimens will find them there. They are particularly anxious to secure specimens from children, since, as they explained in the lecture last night, children are more susceptible to malarial infections than adults, and are injured a great deal more by this disease.
