DOCTOR TELLS
how To FIGHT
THE MOSQUITO
Saws No Doubt Remains That
determination Can Be
Accomplished.

THE experimental stage in connec-.
ton with the extermlnauono OF me
mosouito has long since passed. and,
no doubt remains that this Import;
ant work may be successfully accom-
plished. provided proper means are:
employed. and provided that the
work is under the direction and con-,
troll OF, federal. state or mun1ctpal
authorities, says DR.. -Alvah h Doty.;
:foroffteen years health officer Of the;
port of New York In the Journal OF
the American Medical Association
Dr. Doty SCOTS at the behet.s
which has often been advanced, that
birds and bats are. the best extermin-
ators Of inland mosquitoes and hsh
of the swamp variety
..The inland mosquito is found in
every state he says, but the salt
water species abides only on the sea-
coast marshes. although 1t often
the interior IN search
of food The two never<b breed e2-
cept in their own environment, sanc
when mosquitoes arctic be extermln-
ated the most sensible course IS TO
examine the pest, find out which
species it belongs to and then look
for the breeding place in the nearest
suitable environment
The inland mosquito will breed
in almost any receptacle which con-
tains water, preferably that wh1ch IS
stagnant or polluted The insects
as rule do not breed in large bod;
les of water. but prefer small pools
where there is an abundance OF veg
citation.
There Is but one way by which
the breeding place Of the salt water
mosquito can be successfully de-
stroyed and that is by draining the
swamp land where these insects
propagate
"a word may be said regarding
the use Of petroleum. This oil should
be used only for temporary purposes
and must not be accepted as sub
stitute for the permanent destruc-
ton Of breeding places. Semi-rehned
and not the crude oil should be used,
for the latter does not spread over
the surface of the water and the re-
fined oil is too thin and more ex-
pensive. Petroleum does not poison
the larvae, but destroys them in
mechanical way; foS when it is spread
over the surface Of the water as
film It plugs up the minute openings
OF the respiratory tract of the lar
vac as they come to the surface for
afr, which Is necessary every min
ute or So
although petroleum is a valuable
temporary agent in dealing with the
inland mosquito it is worthless IN
the destruction OF the striped legged
or coast mosquito, chiefly on ae-
count OF the great area involved
