CHRIST FIRST SUFFRAGIST.
Stood for Equal Rights for Women.
Saws Rev. H. B. Smith.

Christ was the first man who stood
for woman suffrage. Rev Herbert
Booth Smith of Knoxville, Tenn. told
the congregation of the New York Ave-
nue. Presbyterian Church yesterday. In
the course of his morning sermon he
said: He scorned the convention of
sex, and up to the time of His coming
woman had been regarded as unworthy,
BY His action toward her he constitut-
ed Himself the first great pro-suffra-
gist."
Dr. Smith also declared Christ had no
patriotism in the sense we speak of 1t
today, but rather His countr. was
bounded on the north by the aurora
borealis. south by the antarctic. east
by the sunrise and west by the JudG-
ment day.
He hated the idea of militarsm
which governs Europe now DR.. Smith
added. "for He was too broad to stop at
the borders of any nation

for constantly. A good plan is to
set aside one day in each week be-
cause that is well within the limit
of the maturing of the eggs; it is
also desired that neighbors COM
pare notes once a week and have
experience meetings. 1t will be
found that breeding places are dis
covered IN most unexpected and
unlikely situations. BY exchang-
ing experiences of this kind, the
overlooking, of hidden bodies of
water will be very much minimi-
zed.
In conclusion, let it be reiterated
that the malaria carrier must first
of all be eliminated. We will
probably always have mosquitoes
but we can at least try to limit the
pest as much as possible.

The Prevention Of Malaria

malaria is the proper handling O
those sick with malaria fever OF
chills, which is the same thing
Ii one such malaria carrier is bit.
ten by mosquito of the right
kind, that mosquito will, in the
course of a week, have as many as
500 thousand spores ip it's salivary
gland, and is able to infect a very
large number of persons. It can
therefore be seen that every per-
son should be made acquainted
with his responsibility to his neigh
bors it he allows himself to become
a malaria carrier. This is only one
example of the enormous socialogic
Importance of disease prevention.
In order to prevent the dissent
nation of malaria in the presence
of malaria carriers, there are sew
eral other possibilities.
1.-The destruction of shelters
for mosquitoes. Mosquitoes can
not live in the bright sunlight
they seek refuge in shrubbery,
brush and weeds, as they are easily
carried by the wind and have a
certain amount Of home attach
ment. Mosquitoes will not, of
their own volition, stray very far
from their breeding places.
All shrubbery which is not or
namental and all weeds, especially
along the banks of ponds, streams
and bitches should be kept out
close to the ground. Ornamental
shrubbery may be sprayed with
mixture of crude and refined oil.
Or it may be fun igated from time
to time by making a smudge in
such relation that the wind will
1rive the fumes or smoke through
The Camden chronicle. (Camden, Tenn.) 1890-current, 1915-07-30

screened house should be limited
as much as possible. Upstairs
doors opening upon porches are
best handled by screening the en-
tire porch. The downstairs open
ings should be vestibuled 80 that
one has to pass two screen doors
to get into the house. This plan
takes care of the fiend who insists
upon standing in the open screen
door and carrying on a lengthy
conversation. 1t is necessary, of
course, to exercise enough Wig
ilance to keep the vestibule itself
clear of mosquitoes.
Fire places must be made NOS
quito proof and also Easements
and servants quarters.
In extreme cases this system
can be supplemented with MOSQUITO
bars. A screened porch is very
desirable. Ifthis is infeasible, one
should anoint with one of the va
rlous aromatic oils recommended
for that purpose.
4-In lividual prophylaxis.-
There are times when one becomes
exposed to bites of mosquitoes such
as on fishing trip-at a picnic
on a visit to a person not as par
ticular with screens as he should
be. Then it is necessary to take
4ulnine to prevent malaria from
developing. For an adult about
twenty grains day for two days,
repeated again in week in the
same way, ought to be sufficient.
In order to make mosquito sup
preston effective, it is necessary
% form a neighborhood organiza-
ion because one householder will
lave little success if his neighbors
ire breeding mosquitoes in water
barrels. roof cutters, tomato cans, :
'onds and puddles. Possible :
breeding places should be searched ,
