To Prevent Old Age

'Toxic poisons in the blood are thrown

When suffering from backache, ire

Germs of Malaria Hibernate in Man.

M. B. MitZmain of the United States
public health service, went mosquito
hunting in Mississippi between Febru.
airy and June, 1915. He wanted to
find out where the malaria germs hi.
bernated. There is little or no ma.
laria during the winter. He caught
more than 1000 anopheles mosquitoes
all females. but not one Of them con.
tanned the parasites. At the same
time he examined the blood Of 1874
human beings and found that 1872 OF
them carried the germs.
From this he came to the conclusion
that man and not the mosquito is re-
sponsible for perpetuating malaria
from season to season. Which leads
the Scientific American to suggest
that the way to rid mosquitoes Of ma
laria is to exterminate men.

clear of new debts, but the old ones
hung about her neck like millstones.
Then one day came the strangest
happening of all in the strange link
of peculiar incidents that surrounded
Coila's young life. Ronald was CIV
ing Djalhma some directions about the
garden, when there entered the yard
the counterpart Of Djalhma. In an In
slant Ronald realized that this must
be Djalhma's brother. The twain
rushed into the arms Of one another
startling greeting, for neither spoke.
Solemnly the new arrival placed his
finger on his lips. He tried apparently
to convey some explanation as to the
cause of his appearance to Djalhma:
Ronald was intensely interested. He
reasoned out that Kariza, too, had
come under the ban of silence. He
realized that his mission, making OF
him an exile like Djalhma, must be
an important one. Perhaps it involved
the interests Of Cola.
Apparently Kariza made Djalhma
understand that he had message OF
explanation Of Importance to impart,
Ronald followed them curiously, and
they were so excited and engrossed
in their present personal affairs that
his presence was unheeded.
At the rear of the garden was a ce,
mented tennis court. Over near the
Toulouse were several barrels of sand.
One of these latter Kariza proceed.
ed to wheel up to one end Of the ce-
mented space. He threw off his outer
surtout. He drew from some inner
pocket strange-appearing device. 1t
was sort of a metal funnel, with a
short handle attached. He dipped 1t
in the sand braced back and began
making sand pictures"
Many a time Ronald had read Of
persons among the denizens of India
who had become experts in this line.
Here was one of them, it was proved
forthwith It was marvellous, the &C
curacy, the fineness, the art with
which Kariza prosecuted his work.
Delicately, skillfully as master
painter with his brush, Kariza out
lined and then filled in across the &C.
mented space the features of child,
little girl.
"Coila," uttered Ronald, at must be
that"
"Her father" he added, wondering
ly, as there stood out upon the unique
canvas the portrait Of military-ap-
pearing man.
Then followed the outline Of a
ruined house, a temple and casket,
such as is used to hold treasures, and
then from the folds of his robe Kariza
drew forth rusted metallic box, and
threw open it's cover and revealed a
mass Of glittering gems.
And now Djalhma seemed to under
stand, and Ronald, too, understood as
well. After the years the stolen for
tune of Coila's father had been dis
covered, and the honest, loyal brother
of Djalhma had sacrificed his home
and kin in behalf Of the daughter OF
Col. John Brentwood, the master Of
his brother.
So Cola was rich and all her bust
ness troubles ended. And there was
speedy wedding. And what of
Djalhma and Kariza? They would not
return to their native land. Yet the
ban of silence was unremOved. 1t was
by chance that one day Ronald in the
city came across native Hindoo
traveller, a priest. He told him Of his
mute friends.
There was a ceremonial removal of
the ban of silence, paid for literally
by Ronald, and the curse removed
Djalhma and Kariza sang for joy.
