COUNTY FOOD ADMINISTRATOR
THANKS MERCHANTS
Ocala, Fla. Sept. 6

Ocala, Fla, Sept 6, 1918.
To the Marion County Merchants
Observation-Disclosures:
Please accept my hearty congratU-
latiOns for your patriotic efforts in
observing and carrying forward the
rules and regulations of the county
and federal food administration in
the conservation of food which has
been so helpful in the nations SUI,
preme endeavor to supply our army
and navy and the armies and navies
of our allies with food necessary TO
win the war.
You are urged not to cease your
efforts in well Going but if possible
to increase them now that the harvest
season is at hand. An increased
consumption of corn, potatoes, rice,
syrup and other home grown food
stuffs will save just that much wheat,
sugar and fats that may be trans
ported overseas for our soldiers and
to that extent will be Marion coun-
tvs contribution in bringing the war
to aspeedy and successful terufina-
ton.
AS it is no longer necessary for the
retail merchants to purchase substj-
tutes with their wheat flour from the
wholesaler I want to urge you to buy
your meal and grits from our own
mills as in this way not only will our
farmers be benefited but the trans
portation of foreign meal and grits
this county will save room for the
transportation of other things that
you cannot purchase at home.
In the name of the federal and
county food administration l again
most heartily thank you for your ef
forts, loyalty and patriotism.
Very truly yours,
Clarence Camp,
Marion Co Food Administrator.

MALARIA

The state board of health desires
the people of Florida to realize the
great Importance Of prevention and
control of malaria. To carry out the
prevention measures in the way of
the use of screens is one of the i'm
portant ways as is brought out in the
following excerpt taken from Public
Health Reports:
Quite early in the history of malar-
ia Cell demonstrated the efficiency
of screening the cottages of railroad
employees along the Some SOlomona
division. a VIGOROUSLY malarious sec
ton of Italy. In 25 protected cottages
1873 inhabitants had cases Of fevec,
whereas in 80 unprotected cottages
220 inhabitants had POS cases.
OF more immediate application. how
ever, is the work now in progress
of the routine of the St. Louis South
western railroad. Impressed with the
TACT thai c c~t;-y'ut. q per cent of all ad-
missions to the hospital at Texark'
$40 cases being so treated for five
! days each annually during the past
! four years, and that this was equiva-
lent to about per cent of the total
number of employees, even without
Including cases seen by local physi.
! clans, Mr. Edwin Gould created a
fund for the institution of systematic
preventive measures. These were be-
gun early in 1917 at the request of
the railroad by representatives of
the United States public health ser,
vice, and were later continued by H.
w Van HOyenberg. who was appoint
ed by the railroad to supervise this
work. The data here given were OBJ,
tanned from Mr. Hovenbergs reports.
In general the program included in,
tensive control by suppression of the
propagation of Anopheles mosquitoes
at Tyler and Lufkin and later at Tex
arkana, Keltys and Wildhurst.
In 1916 81 malaria cases were adj
mitted to the hospital at Texarkana
from Tyler and Texarkana. whereas
in 1917, following the mararia work.
only l3 cases were admitted, reduc,
ton of 59.4 per cent. The sale 81
physicians prescriptions containing
quinine was decreased about 40 per
cent. Among bridge and building
gangs, whose bunk cars were screen,
ed reduction of All per cent was
obtained at Kelteys, small lumber
malaria in 1917 and 1916
OF particular interest are the results
obtaine dat Keltys, a small lumber
community, where malaria had been
severe. After one year of work prac-
tically no malaria occurred. The
mill is stated to have shipped 20 per
cent more lumber than ever before.
The manager said that had the dis,
ease prevailed as in the past the mill
would have been closed about half
the time, with a freight loss to the
Cotton Belt railroad of about $4,000
during the months of July to October
The officials of this road have ex.
pressed themselves as highly graft
fed with the results obtained and will
continue and extend the anti-amlaria
measures-State Board of Health.
