THE MOSQUITO PLAGUE
AND THE DISTILLERY
Contributed By The Civic League.

quito. Some one objects that the mos
quito do not breed in the mash. No
one contends that they do. but they
breed in the water, made stagnant by
the mash. An authority says that mos
quitoes do not fly far from their breed
ing place. True, but winds blow them
great distances away.
Citizens who live in that section say
they were never troubled with mos
Quitos until last summer. They did
not screen houses nor use bars. Last
summer those who could afford it
screened and also used bars, and were
still unable to cope with the pest.
Those who did not screen became
worn out by the loss of sleep and
looked peaked and done up"
Is our knowledge OF hygiene so de-
fective that public sentiment will per-
NIT this unsanitary condition to ex-
ist? Shall 10000 citizens suffer the
torments OF the damned another sum-
mer because we are so lacking In In
itiative that we will not demand that
this plague spot be eliminated from
our city?
Is the neglect due to ignorance OF
the gravity OF the situation? Scientists
have demonstrated that the mosquito
is a carrier OF malaria. Malaria is a
disease that IL once injecting the sys-
tenn may not yield to years Of eradi-
eating remedies.
Medical men have q waccnward for

capped.
Can people avoid lower state OF
health when their sleep Is broken for
six or seven months by mosquitoes?
Does the health commissioner rea-
lize the menace to the community?
Stricken as we have been, are we
in any mental or physical condition to
resist further blows Of fate?
What Should Be Done.

The pipe which carries the drip rom
the distiilery should be extended to
