How to Destroy Mosquitoes by Pre-
ventive Measures.
A teacupful Of water standing ten
days is enough to breed over 200 mos
quitoes. A %bucketfnl Of water may
breed enough to infest a community.
Some species Of mosquitoes lay their
eggs on the water, others lay them in
the water, and still others lay them in
the marsh mud. All the eggs hatch
out first into "~wrigglers," andthen they
turn into what are called "pupae." The
grown mosquitoes finally emerge from
the pupae and fly into the air. Both
wriggler and pupae are readily seen
with the naked eye.
Don't waste time swatting mosqui-
toes, Prevent their breeding by drain
ing or filling ponds and puddles or, If
near the seashore, by connecting the
marshes with tidal water, by emptying
or screening rain barrels, removing all
old tins, boxes, tubs, pals, bottles,
broken crockery and other things
which collect water. Report to the
department of health the location of
any pools Or puddles, particularly
those which do not dry up within a
week.
Be on the constant lookout for stand,

tives believe the deer, hearing the
tigers voice and unable from the re-
verberating nature of the sound to 10.
cate the position of the enemy, stands
still and SO gives him the chance of
stalking them. Sportsmen hold there is
probably some truth in this, for unless
one is following the tiger and has seen

we entered it in order that we and u

might fabricate a new and better civili-

liberty Of person, liberty of belief, free

"We entered this war to remove from

threatened to deny us that right.
"Never during the progress of this

Asked to say a word on the scope Of
the war preparations he is superintend-

"The mere business Of this enterprise
is very great. Perhaps I can give some
Idea to you Of what it means if I quote
for your information q few compare
tive figures.
"Take, for instance, the subject Of
~aeronautics. In 1915 the congress ap-
propriated something less than half q
million dollars for the building Of air
craft in the army. In 1917 the appro-
priation was SAT, 100000, and now con-
gress has appropriated the great sum
Of $640,0O0, 900 for the building Of aero
