To Be Used by Public Health
Service to Teach chilureR
about Mosquitoes.

WASHINGTON, D. G., Dec. 14.-By
means OF a catechism on malaria. Thu
public health service proposes t
teach children in the public school.
that this disease is conveyed only b,
certain species OF the mosquitoes. and
that II may be prevented. This is
another evidence of the fact that san.
itarians in their efforts to conserve
one of the most valuable of human
possessions health-are turning to
the young instead of to the old and
adopting new methods for health inn
provement. What has been called
the most powerful agent Of ciyiliza-
tion-the public schools, are being
utilized to this end. 4
No longer is 1T accepted that the
three RS form. the sum and SUBJ
stance Of school education. Public
health authorities now agree with
Herbert Spencer that the most useful
knowledge is that which enables a
person to preserve his health and life.
one difficulty in the past has been
to present this knowledge In practical
form for use of teachers and scholars:
In order to meet such difficulty. a
simple catechism or primer on mala-
ria has just been issued. AS with
the shorter catechism of our. youth
which began with What is the chief
end of MANI" the catechism on ma
iaria begins with this question What
Is malaria ?" Question after question
then follows in natural sequence to
impress on the minds OF children
what malarial fever actually is. what
causes It, how it is taken, and how to
prevent it.
Much attention in this primer IS
devoted to a description Of the mos
quitoes that convey malaria, their
larvae and eggs, and their habits and
breeding places. The text is supple-
mented by series OF Illustrations by
means Of which teachers will be able
to identify these pests. and to DEM
onstrate them to their scholars dur
ing field excursions and in the class
room. The curious stages Of deyel-
opment of these pests are illustrated.
first as eggs lying fat on the water.
then as ,cannibal larvae feeding on
each other, and then at the climax OF
OF their careers, when in full possess
sion OF wings and bills, they become
purveyors Of disease to. man.
Undoubtedly. when such simple but
important facts shall have been learn
ca by children. they will convey
THIS information to their homes. and
thus spread the gospel Of sanitary
science. AS a result, 1t may be ex-
pected that their elders as.well as the
children themselves will take great.
er interest in eliminating the breed
Ing places Of mosquitoes, and in tax
ing quinine to destroy injection in
their bodies. and in screening their
homes to guard against the bites of
mosquitoes until malaria will cease to
be the great menace to health and
prosperity It is at present in many
parts of our country.
The use Of this pamphlet in schools
should be encouraged by boards Of
education and teachers wherever
malaria prevails. -

Flames came from his mouth, hands
and legs, and friends who tried to
pull him away were themselves
stricken unconscious.
Mrs. Long claimed that the terrific
force which killed her husband was
caused by both the arc and iuran.
descent light wires being crossed.
The borough Of st. Clair owns its

BAD WEATHER
H:A['TS Work
Convicts Forced to Suspend
Labor on Historic Mound
at MOundsviIIe.

MOUNDSVILI4E, Dec. l4.-Pro-
gress on identifying the old prehis..
Itorlc mound situated on the corner
of Tomlinson avenue and Tenth street
is rapidly going forward under the
direction of Warden Mont q. White
of the state penal Institution. For the
past month, when weather permitted.
9 number of convicts worked the hill,
flltng all cutters along the sides, and
recently track for hauling dirt up
to the top was built on the slope fac
ing the south. for the purpose of till-
ing In the large hole on top, endeAy-
oring to have it look like it did when
it was first seen by the early settlers
Of that vicinity.
To BE Park.
From present weather indications.
no more work will be attempted this
year. but early next spring Mr.. White
intends putting large force of his
men to work again and the place will
be converted into a miniature park.
Grass is to be planted on the slopes
and the ground surrounding it. A
fence will erected so as to keep
Itrespassers off and by the summer Of
1915 Mr.. White intends putting seats
over the ground surrounding the old
imp Of dirt and opening 1t TO the

Beauty Spot.
Although persons will not be al
lowed to trespass on the mound this
coming summer. it will be a place
well worth visiting, and no longer
will 1t be an eyesore picture to gaze
upon as 1t has been in the past. AS
was previously stated, alfthe old dead
shrubbery and debris has been cleared
away and young trees have been
planted to replace many of the old
Eones that have stood on its slopes
since 1t was built by the Mound-build-
ers back In the prehistoric ages.

outlet for it. The cotton men have
adopted a waiting policy. They stand
ready to buy when the market opens
but they have no plan to force it to
open. Mr.. Goodwin was asked the
direct question that if one hundred
bales were to come on the streets
of Ardmore next Monday, would he
be able to buy it, and the reply came
in the negative. There is no outlet
for cotton, he said there are dozen
selling orders 20 one buying order.
No one can tell when the market will
open. 1t may be ten days, and it
may be ten months. Some of the
southern Texas farmers are sending
their cotton to Houston and other
cities and placing it in warehouses,
where about $lj is being advanced
on each bale, about enough to pay
for the picking. When asked if Gov.
ernor Colquitt would be able TO solve
the problem with his warehouse leg
islatiye program, Mr.. Goodwin stated
that legislation was not needed for
the construction of cotton ware
houses, it requires the government
and the states too long to move Too
much red tape is required to give
immediate relief, and he states that
cotton men are not expecting relief
at the hands of State legislatures. Mr..
Goodwin is of the opinion that the
people will find some way to open
up a market, but just how it is to be
done, no one can tel.

Tillman county has a farmer who
reaps a harvest of $4OO an acre from
his farm. This man is out in what
is known as the arid region of the
state but he has equipped his farm
for irrigation. He says he does not
need irrigation very much in some
years but on other years he depends
upon his plant for moisture. Pota-
toes are raised as his chief crop He
always makes a big crop and always
has a market for the yield. Some of
his land this lear has been devoted
to turnips and he will compare the
Yields of potatoes and turnips. There
are several thousands of acres Of land
in Carter county which can be irrigat-
ed at a fair cost.

a eABeATH THOUGHT.

II is of interest to note how olteh
in the past people have chosen to IN
terpret passages in the Bible as IN
tending rebuke or warning or even
threats of disaster, whereas today the
very opposite meaning, may be found
In them. An example of this is seen in
a saving of Paul's "FOr the flesh
lusteth against the Spirit, and the
Spirit against the flesh: and these
are contrary the one to the other: so
that We cannot do the things that ye
would" Perhaps on account of the
context people have usually read this
TO mean that the flesh fOrbids strug-
Cling humanity to do the good things
that they would choose to do. Youth,
however, is more ready to insist on
the constructive or hopeful aspects of
all things and therefore it is entirely
natural that a boy asked to explain
this text instantly answered, "Why
il means that Spirit always wins and
so God keeps you from doing the
wrong things that you would While
this differs from the usual interpre-
tation il shows that the unbiased
thought of youth promptly grasped
the opportunity to affirm the victory
of Spirit and Gods power to save hui
manity from doing the dictates of the
flesh.-Mary Stanhope.

WHEN EAGER TO CRITICIZE.

When you are eager to criticize,
just stop a moment and put yourself
soberly in the place of the man you
wish to criticize, reflect on his diff
culties, and especially on what you
are sure must be his good intentions.
Reflect also on your own vast ignor-
ance of the facts he has to deal with.
You will be surprised to find how
much tanner your tongue grows

The girls of Carter county who are
raising tomatoes under the leadership
of Mrs. v A. Niblack have demon
strated that Carter county soil can
be made to produce from $3.50 to as
high as $400 an acre when planted
to tomatoes. Mrs. Niblack has done
useful work the past season. The
fall moisture will make the second
crop and the county will have a vast
amount of caned tomatoes this year.
This work is a portion of a great plan
of economy and industry, it is worthy
of being encouraged by every citizen.
1t has been demonstrated that every
vacant city lot can be made to pro-
duce something. The girls of the clubs
have spent a busy and profitable
summer.

LOSS OF EIGHT MILLIONS.

The state of Oklahoma has com
mission to regulate oil pipe lines but
recent developments show that the
state needs commission to regulate
the producers more than to regulate
pipe lines The present system of oil
production has resulted in bringing 10
the surface many millions of barrels
of oil in excess of the capacity of the
pipe lines to convey to the relineries.
Some of this oil is Ill earthen storage
where it is being drunk up by the
earth on the lower side and the sur
face is giving to the air the volatile
gases that make it valuable. The gas
escaping from steel and earthen stor-
ages endanger the oil at all times
from lightning and from incendia-
rism One stroke of match can start
a fire that will destroy a million dol
lars worth of oil.
1t may be said that this is the oil
mans business If he wants to jeop-
ardize his property he has right to
do so. The oil man does have the
property right to the oil but there is
another right to it which belongs to
all the people. Commerce and labor
need that oil and it was placed here
by nature for such use. Labor needs
il to convey to refineres, labor again
needs it to refine, labor again needs
it for distribution and commerce
needs to turn the wheels of indus
try.
\ law that will prohibit the storing
of oil will not injure any one. There
are companies in the Healdton field
who have very little or no oil on the
surface. There are other companies
with smaller daily production
which have as much as quarter of a
million barrels exposed to fire and
exposed to the elements which de-
stroy it, over production forced the
pipe line people to store over 100000
barrels of oil one. half of which has
been destroyed and besides that de
struction $4,000 of property in steel
tanks were swept away.
Such waste is criminal. Our
courts can never with good conscience
try to regulate pipe lines without also
regulating the producer.
The value of oil to commerce which
means the people as a whole is not
the mere pittance for it in the field.
The value is represented by the value
of the refined product. Each barrel
of oil is worth SO instead of soc and
the state commissions must look upon
it as being worth this sum. There
are forty-two or more by-products of
petroleum and $40 a barrel is a light
estimate upon its value. If 1000
barrels of oil were destroyed in
Healdton the past week four millions
of wealth are gone and can never be
replaced. The same kind of loss oc-
Cured in the Cushing field. The state
of Oklahoma the past week contrib
uted to the loss column Of the world
eight millions of dollars in two fires.
This loss could have been saved TO
the people ii the law had prepared for
the regulation of the producing oil
companies.
