disease. Patient investigation of
malarial conditions has impressed
government health officials with the
belief that mosquitoes in the latitude
of the southern states ordinarily do
not carry infection through the win
ter, infected mosquitoes rarely being
found before May Is. This discovery
is strengthening the belief that ii is
possible to decrease not only the
preyalency Of malaria itself, but to
relieve the public of the enervating
effects of this disease, by treating
human carriers of malaria with qui-
nine previous to the middle of May
thus preventing any infection from
chronic sufferers reaching mosquitoes
and being transmitted by them to
other persons. Quinine is specific
for malaria, and its intelligent use
in malarial sections of Oklahoma
would tend rapidly to stamp out the
disease.
Disobeying Rules of Health.
Oklahomas recent experience with
influenza, and the predisposing con
ditions that result in pneumonia, and
the various affections that involve the
upper air passages, should deeply
impress the public with the great
value of preventative health meas
ures. Careless and wilfuI disobedi-
ence to ordinary rules of health have
cost the people of Oklahoma appall-
ingly during the last four or five
months. But more and more the pub
lie is learning that it is as unwise
and as dangerously wasteful to neg
lect the prevention of disease as it
would be to let fire gain headway in
ones home without trying to eXtin-
guish it.

More than 12000 voters pulled the
lever over MaCViCar's name and gave
him almost three times as many votes
as Lewis f. ROYAL. his opponent. The
