having established warehouses at con-
venient locations.

considering building a fine modern
hotel to meet a rapidly approaching
necessity for increased accommoda-
tons. Business houses of various
lines have been established and are
flourishing.
Work on the drainage system has
progressed rapidly, many thousands Of
acres being now ready for cultivation
north, south and west of Fellsmere,
with large area to be made available

Punch Holes In Discarded Receptacies
and Stop Malaria, Doctor Suggests.
Punch holes in the bottom of tin
cans and prevent malaria. This is a
suggestion for the destruction of mos
quito breeding places contained in an
article on Mosquito Malaria" in the
New York weekly public health service
report.
Mosquitoes, the report says, are the
only known agents for the transmits
sion of malaria. Dr. Charles Wardel,
professor of zoology in the public
health service, made trip of investi-
CATION into the subject Of mosquitoes
and malaria through a state where
there was much malaria and found
mosquito larvae by thousands in empty
tin cans that had been thrown into
boxes or on to trash heaps and in
which rainwater had collected. The
writer points out what a simple health
measure it would have been for a per-
son who opens and empties cans to
punch a hole or two in the bottom OF
each.
Tin buckets that had contained
paint, glass bottles, kegs, barrels. wa
ter tight boxes and in one case an ole
iron safe, door side up, all furnished
their quota of mosquitoes to add to The
prevailing illness.
