KILL MOSQUITOES;

STATE BOARD OF HEALTH AND
q. S. SERVICE WORKING IN
INFECTED SECTIONS.

To locate malaria carrying mosaui-
of this pest prevents the spread OF
malaria, the state board of health and
officers of the United States public
health service have undertaken a cam
Iaign against +'cf1ilis and fever in in
fected counties of Virginia. Details
of the. campaign, of which no previous
announcement has been made, are
given in a special bulletin of the State
board of health, made public today.
Drs. r. II Won Ezdorf and r. C.
perivaux, OF the United States public
health service. have been detailed for
temporary work with the Virginia
Officers. Both are weIl-known au-
thorities on malaria prevention. and
have done much practical work In the
South.
The boards plan is TO take few
typical communities in which malaria
has been spreading and to demonstrate
In these, by practical field work. what
steps are necessary to keep the disease
from spreading. The health officers
begin their campaign in a given To-
cality by making a. thorough survey
tp demonstrate the presence and
breeding places of the anopheles mos
quito WHICH carries the parasite OF
malaria. Efforts are then made TO
enlist the support OF local authorities
in definite cleanup campaigns. fill
ing, draining and oiling by which
mosquitoes can be destroyed. Re-
parts thus far received indicate live
ly public intesest in the counties where
the work ia being done.
In describing the plan, the boards
bulletin reads 10 part as ifdliows:
The people of Virginia are now we'll
advised OF the familiar fact that ma
iaria Is carried from the sick to the
Well by the bite of the anopheles mos
quito. What is needed Is practical
demonstration OF methods by which

be coInbatted.
I'VE have taken few neighborhoods
where malaria is a serious problem.
and we are showing precisely what
can be done to eradicate it. We be-
lieve such neighborhoods can be made
Iohject lessons that will help very much
in fighting malaria.
This disease demands more public
attention than ii has received. Care
.essness has permitted valuable tracts
TO become swampy. In such places.
and wherever stagnant water Is al
lowed to remain, mosquitoes may
breed, and among them may be found

HILL IN
HURRY FOR WATER
WELLS GOING DRY FOR MORE
THAN A YEAR, AND TOWN is
TOO DRY FOR COMFORT.

Tazewell NJ. Darlington and Angus
tine Royal who were appointed by
residents OF Forest Hill to interview
the administrative board In regard to
securing city water for the Forest Hill
people. have requested the board to
fix a date for the discussion of the
question in the near future.
Superintendent Davis of the water
department, will look into the situa-
ton and make his report to the board.
When interviewed last night Mr..
Darlington said that a year or two
ago there were but from twelve to
fifteen houses in Forest Hill. but dur
ing the last year building was at Its
height and now there are more than
a hundred. houses In Forest Hill.
There are the same number OF wells. =
said Mr.. Darlington, land the ground
has been tapped so often that on
some days in the dry season we have
to go without water. The wells over
here have been going dry for more
than a year and with the constantly
increasing drain on them we will be
forced to have city water.
The city pipes are laid as far as
Woodland Heights now and there's is
every reason for the city to lay the
pipes to Forest Hill now that annexa-
ton will be effective in the near
future"
