ONE MOSQUITO SPREADS
MALARIA BY WHOLESALE
Tests Show That Single Insect Is

II the mosquito which spreads malaria
the anopheles punetipennis. enfoys life
time of twenty-five days. and each day
and night-of its existence is devoted to
blood orgies on the persons of human
beings there is no knowing how many
individuals that one tiissipated winged fe-
male creature may innoculate. NJ Bruin
Mitzmain. technical assistant, public
health service, has been trying to deter
mime that point In the interest of science.
and to carry on his Investigations he
obtained the volunteer services of hu-
mans who had malaria, and others who
were willing to be inocuiated, and the
Involuntary services of MOSQUITOES The
mosquitoes did not have such a bad time
OF IL from their point of view, as the
usually difficult hunting Of human gore
was made easy for them
In seventeen experiments in which hu-
man beings were employed fourteen
cases OF malarial fever resulted. In an
attempt 10 infect several persons with a
single specimen of auopheles punctinep-
MS one mosquito proved to be the sole
ln1ectiVe agent in one experiment and
one proved TO be the sole infectiye agent
IN three experiments. These two. speci-
mems When applied to the same person
transmitted the infection in five cases
while one Of them used with a third
mosquito succeeded in injecting four per
sons. ~
IN these experimental NEGOTIATIONS it
was demonstrated that in nine INSTANCES
IN winch two mosquitoes succeeded in
transmitting malaria at least one of the
pair was proved to be capable of causing
the disease when used singly
II was demonstrated in eleven expert
Inents that short exposure TO bites w.

To Dictate World Credits.

The immense quantity of gold in the
United States-one-third of all the gold
in the woyld-in his opinion, puts the
onited States in dominant position,
SO that. in future, it can dictate the
credits of the world. This position he
considers SO commanding that it is of
greater benefit than the highest protec-
tive tariff would be.
The possibility of any nation emerg-
ing from the war-crippled in popula-
ton by death and wounds with extern
s1Ne debts and obligations for the de-
pendents of those who fought its bat
tles-and being in a superior condition
10 compete for the worlds commerce.
TO Secretary McAdoo seems a ridiculous
proposlt1on He cannot conceive the
United states made stronger financially
py conflict with Mexico or Germany
and thinks such an argument reduces
itself to the absurd

MR. M'ADOO Confident
AS TO THE ELECTION
Predicts That Both Ohio and In
diana Will Be in the Will
son Column.

Returned from his campaign tour of
the middle west Secretary McAdoo of
the Treasury Department is confident that
President Wilson will carry Ohio and
Indiana and is only a shade less conf
dent that Illinois also will go democratic
at the presidential elections
In Illinois he found extensive leaven of
wisconsin among farmers who have al
ways voted the republican ticket or who
voted progressive. Labor is for Wilson,
he finds as is also a large part Of the
woman vote. Then he was told by a num-
Der of business men who usually vote re-
publican that their ballots would go to
the President
Sure of New York.
He is sure also that his own state, New
York. will be in the democratic column on
election. He declared he has not a doubt
of it.
Secretary McAdoo is grounded in the
faith that the present prosperity of the
United States is not a war phenomenon
but is founded on the Introduction of an
adequate credit system into the business
of the nation by democratic legislation
In the past two years. he illustrates,
since the federal reserve system has been
IN practice. there has not been a tremor
OF panic in Wall street despite the fact
that there have been many situations
threatening to involve the United States
in war either with Germany or Mexico
such rumors in the past, he pointed out
would have shaken the financial structure
of the nation.
As result of the operations of the
federal reserve system, he saws, crops
have been moved without the high
rates of interest and the accompanying
calling in of loans in other parts of the
