TRACTS CLEARED OF MALARIA
Gratifying Progress Has Been Made
by Those Interested in Conquer
ing the Disease.

Malaria. to which children are sus-
ceptible. has been made largely pre-
ventable disease by a study of the
mosquito carrier. its breeding places
and natural history and by inocula-
tion experiments on animals and man.
II was proved by Italian observers
that the mosquito disseminates bird
malaria in the same manner as in the
human subject.
The final upshot of these investiga-
tlons has been that large tracts of
hitherto waste and dangerous land
have been rendered safe and produc-
tive. widespread cause of debilitat-
ing sickness, and even of death, has
thus been removed.

BEARS KILL SALMON !
Alaskan Bruin Stays Them for
Food and Sport.
Can Eat 500 Pounds at One Meal
GulIs and Terms Also Among
Causes for Waning Fish Sup
ply In Northern Rivers.

Bears that fish in shallow water and
gulls and terms that pluck out the eyes
of their prey are destroying millions
Lester Jones. deputy commissioner of
the bureau of fisheries. who was sent
to Alaska last summer to investigate
the causes of the waning salmon sup
ply. The bears, he says, are the worst
offenders, because they haunt the
shores of streams during the spawn
ing season. and. besides killing huge
quantities for food, slay many thou
sands of others Just for the pure Joy
of the sport
The commissioner In his report tells
how at Black Bear creek in the Cleve-
land peninsula he found the shores for
$50 feet on both sides Uttered with
hundreds upon hundreds of humpback
silver and chum salmon that had been
tossed out of the water by bears
Hardly any of the fish had been mu-
tilated except by the marks of the
bears claws on their backs. All that
was eaten was the cheek" of the sal
mon, the bea.. according to Commits
sioner Jones. being very fastidious and
preferring that part to any other.
AS the bears in Alaska are the larg
est in the world and are noted for
their ravenous appetites. it is easy to
realize how much damage they can do
On Kodiak island, where the full
grown bear weighs three-quarters of
ton, the deputy commissioner
learned from a native that one of
these giants could eat third of his
own weight in salmon in a single day
AS in other parts of the territory"
Mr.. Jones remarks, this bear also
throws considerable numbers of fish
out of the water. many of which it
may never care to touch for food"
While wolves and even eagles are
also doing much harm, Mr.. Jones
found that still greater destruction
was caused by gulls and terms. De
scribing his visit to Sierra creek on
rainy day at low tide, he says:
my attention was first attracted by
a movement of birds in The water and

To remedy this condition MIR. Jones
makes several novel suggestions The
ease with which the bears and gulls
prey upon salmon, he says, is due in
large measure to the number of OBJ

true. and urges that the government

SAVED LIFE OF BABY
Weary German Soldiers Forage
for Starving Little One.
Sturdy Warrior With Pitcher of MIX
Plays Nurse and Scolds While
Tears Roll Down His
Cheeks.

Berlin - How German soldiers
saved the life of French baby is
told in a letter written by an alder
man of a West Prussian city who is
serving as a battalion adjutant at the
front.
I'VE had taken the village by
storm" he writes. THE enemy had to
be driven from every single house,
every barn and every shed. Still we
were within the reach of their field
guns and so 1t was impossible for our
commissary department to furnish 1s
anything to eat We had to subsist
on what we could find in the village
Luckily we discovered a COW in one
of the barns, some of our men were
fortunate In capturing two pigs and
the following night two steers were
brought in from the pasture outside
the village. So the meat question was
solved for some days to come.
But we had hardly anything to
drink. the water was dirty and scarce.
Besides, our men expected something
better and stronger.
I'VE searched every house. went
into every cellar, crept through every
garret and found nothing. Finally
one of our men called my attention
to another house which we had
missed 1t was badly damaged by
shells. The stables were mostly
burned down The yard was covered
with French uniforms. bloody cloth
ing guns and the remnants OF slaugh-
tered animals.
I'm the cellar of this house we dis
covered human beings. There were
six women and eight children hud-
died together. I asked them whether
they had had anything to eat and
they told me the German soldiers had
given them bread, soup and some
meat
While talking TO the women
heard the faint cry of a baby. and in
looking around I discovered in one
Of the corners young mother hold
ing a six months old child to her
breast inquired whether the child
was sick and the mother told me 1t
was starving. 1t had not had any
milk for two days.
1T seems the women had told our
soldiers about the baby, but they had
not understood what was wanted
Then ! remembered we had kept the
COW we found two days ago In our
barn. So we went for the COW.
"One of my men volunteered to
milk and got busy. But there was no
milk. / ordered another soldier to
milk. but the result was the same
negative. The idea struck me that
where so many soldiers wanted milk
for their coffee the cow might have
been MIXED dry. So placed a
guard in front of the cows stall and
ordered him to let no one come near
the animal
Three hours later we tried again
and we're overioyed when we obtained
a pitcher full of milk Immediately
we made haste for the cellar where
the baby was still crying. 1t did not
cry very much longer.
'T he women were profuse in their
thanks and one of my men who car
ried the pitcher scolded them for
making so much noise. He was mad
because tears we're rolling down his
cheeks. He himself is father Of
several small children"
