MALARIA, OR cHlLs AND 4
FEVER. 4
BY DR.. w. s. feathers, .
, Dean OF the Medical Department. .
e~<>><>><>>>~>> .

-
Mississippi should be malaria free
state. This can be accomplished by
eaucating the people on the simple,
ana In the main, inexpensive measures
necessary in the prevention of this dis
ease, The information at hand is suf-
nctent but the trouble is getting the
people to apply the methods of pre-
vention that are known to the trust
worthy.
However this is problem that
should concern the people of Missis-
sippi when it is known that something
! like 10000 people in this state suffered
mom malaria during the past year. 1t
Is not possible to estimate the finan-
fcial loss to the state from this source,
II not mentioning the loss in human life.
a When it is known that the number Of
cases of malaria were reduced seventy
per cent in the Panama Canal Zone
in four years by screening, drainage
and the proper use of quinine, it would
seem that our people would become
greatly interested in accomplishing
the same result But there are certain
facts which must be kept in mind in
our fight against this disease
The germ of this disease requires
two hosts for its existence, viz; the
mosquito and the human being. Then
there are three factors necessary in
the spread of this disease. /. A per-
son suffering from malaria. 2. An in
fected mosquito 3. A susceptible per-
son. A link in this chain must be
broken.
Then it is of practical importance
to note that only a certain type Of
mosquito carries the germ 1t is only
the female of this mosquito that
spreads the disease. 1t is also true
that this mosquito fiys only at night,
Z that is between shutdown and sun-up.
Moreover the germ of malaria will not
Z. live in the body of the mosquito when
the surrounding temperature remains
for any length of time below so de-
grees. 1t is then clear that the mos
quito does not carry the germ over
winter. This is done by the human
being who has the germ in his blood
OF the two hosts, man is the COM
mon carrier of the germ, from one sea-
son to another With these facts
clear in mind it would seem that two
measures are of the greatest impor-
lance in the prevention and eradica-
ton of malaria; first. the necessity
of more uniform and complete screen
ing of the home, both white and col
ored Second the curing of people
ease. The screening of homes and
the protection against the mosquito
from biting people who are suffering
from malaria would be an invaluable
means OF eradicating the disease.
Moreover, if people who suffer from
malaria during the warm months and
were not cured could be induced to
take quinine during the winter months
until the blood is free of the germ,
this would result in great reduction
of the disease. In other words there
would be fewer people who would be
suffering from the disease the follow
ing season, and for this reason the
source of infection of the mosquito
would be decreased. The two impor-
tant factors then in fighting malaria
are screening and curing people who
ire suffering from the disease.

HELD SAFETY MENACE
Nebraskan Declares Stand
Is a Complete Reversal
of Policy.

Washington. D. c., Nov s. William
H. Bryan came out squarely against
President Wilson's national defense
plan today in a formal statement in
which he took issue with the presi-
dents views as expressed last night
before the Manhattan club in New
York.
"A departure from our traditions;
reversal of our national policy.
menace to our peace and safety, and
challenge to the spirit of Christianity,
which teaches US to influence others
by example rather than by exciting
fear" is Mr.. Bryan's view of the ma
tional defense plans. Mr.. Bryans
statement reiterates his expressed
views on preparedness and was re-
garded as the opening gun in the fight
which administration leaders expect
in congress.
,
Il have read the presidents speech
at New York with sorrow and concern.
He is doing what he believes to be his
duty, and so long as man follows his
conscience and judgment we cannot
/ criticize his motives, but we may be
compelled to dissent from his conclus-
| ions. ! feel ii my duty to dissent, and
as he has given his views with dear
ness and emphasis, those who differ
from him are under like obligation to
express themselves with equal clear
ness.
Position the Same.
He GAYS that his position is differ
ent from that of the private individual
in that the individual is free to speak
his own thoughts and risk his own
opinion. This sentence is little OBJ
scure. Insofar as he expresses his own
opinion, he does not differ from the
private citizen except that he speaks
under a sense Of official responsibility,
but where a nations fate is involved in
a policy every private citizen who loves
his country and tries to serve it is con-
scious of responsibility. The president
will not assume that he is more deeply
interested in the welfare of his country
than the millions who elected him TO
be for the time being their spokesman.
And if. as he evidently believes, he is
giving voice TO the opinions of his own
countrymen he is, of course. anxious
to have them as frank with him as he
has been with them. How. otherwise,
can be know whether he represents or
misrepresents their views?
He has announced a policy which
has never before been adopted in this
country, and never endorsed b. any
party in the country, and he has no
way OF knowing, until he hears from
the people. whether he has correctly
interpreted the Will of the public"
