Sending Prosperity Away.

The disposition to send prosperity
away from home is such an obses-
sion of the Free-Trade party that
when a widely circulating Tar Heel
publication recently applied for in
corporation papers at the North Car
DINA State capital (where Secretary
Daniels lives) the publisher received
a. bid for the seal and corporation
papers from a printing firm in Co.
lumbia-the capital of South Caro-
lina-before he had even time to
pay the North Carolina corporation
clerk for the home corporation pa
pers. OF course North Carolina job
printers enjoy paying taxes to have
their State officials send the home
business into another State. But
that's Free-Trade's way.

SO cold in Minnesota that railroad To-

spilled considerable water when he
tried to put 1t into the locomotives

officers during the year, 1877 show
4 ed malarial infection. The infection
rate among white persons was above
eight per cent, and among colored
persons twenty per cent. In two
counties In the Yazoo Valley, 40
out of every 100 inhabitants pre-
sented evidence of the disease.
Striking as the above figures are
they are no more remarkable than
those relating to the reduction in
the incidence of the disease follow
ing survey of the Public Health Ser
vice at "a places in nearly every
state in the South. In some in
stances from an incidence of fifteen
per cent, in 1914, a reduction has
been accomplished to less than four
or five per cent, in 1915.
One of the important scientific
discoveries made during the year
was in regard to the continuance of
the disease from season to season.
Over 1000 Anopheline mosquitoes in
malarious districts were dissected,
during the early Spring months,
without finding a single infected in
sect, and not until May Is, 1915,
was the first parasite in the body of
mosquito discovered. The Public
Health Service, therefore, concludes
that mosquitoes in the latitude of the
Southern States ordinarily do not
carry the infection through the win
ter. This discovery indicates that
protection from malaria may be Sc
cured by treating human carriers
with quinine previous to the middle
of May thus preventing any infection
from chronic sufferers reaching mos
quitoes and being transmitted by
them to other persons.
Althoug quinine remains the best
means of treating malaria and is al
so Of marked benefit in preventing
infection, the eradication of the dis
ease as whole rests upon the de-
struction of the breeding places of
Anopheline mosquitoes. The Public
Health Service therefore, is urging
a Definite campaign of draining
standing water, the filling Of low
places, and the regarding and train
ing of streams where malarial mos
quitoes breed. The oiling of breed
ing places, and the stocking of
streams with top-feeding minnows,
are further recommended. The Ser
vice also gives advice regarding
screening, and other preventative
measures as part of the educational
campaigns conducted in sections of
infected territory.
This study is typical of the scien-
tific investigations which are being
carried out by the Public Health
Service, all of which have a direct
bearing on eradicating the disease.
The malaria work now includes the
collection of morbidity data, malaria
surveys, demonstration work, scien-
tific field and labratory studies, edu-
cational campaigns, and special stu
dies of impounded water and drain
age projects. Ia

HOW THE GOVERNMENT IS

Four per cent of the Inhabitants
of certain sections of the South have
malaria. This estimate. based on the
reporting of 204.ss1 cases during

Another box full of paper currency
was also received at the department
There is believed to be something like
$500 in the box. The money, however
is mutilated. The box came from Nj
agara Falls. The accompanying com
municaton does not explain how the
money came to it's present shape, nor
does the sender claim ownership. The
communication says merely that the
muti1ated bills were left with the
sender for him to forward for redemp-
tion.
