closed against the possible entrance
of mosquitoes. Heavy paper, or bet

will not permit of lacking down Of
such material, this may be fastened
into place by use of strips of adhes

The use of mosquito nets over
beds will give a certain amount ,oi
protection. They should be amply
large, so that they may be easily
tucked in under the mattresses. They
should never be allowed to hang down
t. the floor. The reason for this is
that the mosquitoes may and do hide
under the beds during the daytime
and thus may be able to gain access
to the sleeping individual at night
unless this precaution is taken. Great
care is necessary to see that mosqui
to nets are always in good repair, as
single tear or hole will allow the
entrance of mosquitoes.

Mosquitoes lay their eggs on such

BY DR.. C, H WERNER
County Health Omcer.

COQ0ky I1Ga1l0 OnCcIs
There are two fundamental princi-
pies which must first be understood
and accepted, as upon them are based
che measures to be adopted for the
prevention Of malaria.
/. Malaria lie contracted only
through the bite Of special mosquito.
g. Man infects the mosquito, and
the mosquito in turn infects the man.
These conditions absolutely exclude
air, water and food as being methods
by which malaria may be contracted.
The mosquito is not born with the
malaria germ. but to get them must
first bite a person who has them in
his blood.
Malaria is disease due to a germ
which lives in the red blood cells in
the blood of man. This germ is a
small animal, unlike the germs which
cause typhoid fever, diphtheria and tn,
berculosis, which are vegetables, The
life of the malaria germ requires differ
emit conditions for its existence and
continuance from that Of other germs.
The chain Of life of the malaria
germ is: Man to mosquito to man.
To prevent malaria we must, there
fore, break the chain somewhere, and
for this we may consider the question
under two heads. First:
"Ayoid the Bite of the Mesquite"
This requires a knowledge Of the
life and habits of the mosquito which
is responsible for transmitting. ma
laria.
The Misunderstanding mosquito usUa-
ally bites at dusk or twilight, or
sometime during the hours between
sunset and sunrise. It will also bite.
if hungry, in a dark and shady place
during the day. but the usual time is
about sunset. It is, therefore, pru-
dent to avoid the bite of mosquitoes
at those hours
Screening and Mosquito Bars-Two
measures, easy of adoption. will give
protection. These are screening OF
the bedroom, or preferably the
whole house. and the use Of mesquite
bars.
IN screening the house, this must
he absolute. Windows and doors
must he tight, the windows should be
entirely screened, and not halfway,
or With telesooping screens. The

ures screen your houses

all measures Screen your houses
and make them mosquito proof.
Use mosquito bars over beds if the
house is not well screened.
Use quinine, which will keep your
system free from the malaria germ.
To prevent the breeding Of mos
quitoes, clear bitches of grass a nd
weeds and do away with stagnant wa
ter.

serve all practical purposes.
The farmer should adopt the screen
ing measure first and then look after
the destruction Of breeding places for
mosquitoes.
"Use Quinine asa PrOphylaetic''
Quinine is specific in curing the
disease, and also in preventing it.
The active symptoms of malaria are
easily controlled by the proper ad
rlinistration of quinine, but unfortu-
nately the individual who suffers with
malaria does not usually keep it up
long enough to free his system en-
tlrely of the malaria germ. AS re-
suit, persons frequently carry the
germ in the blood without having ac-
tive symptoms of the disease, and on
being bitten by mosquitoes spread the
infection.
The first principle, therefore, is
that every one suffering with mala-
rial fever should continue treatment
long enough to prevent his injecting
mosquitoes and to avoid the POSSIBLE
ity of developing a relapse.
Qninine, if taken regularly, will also
prevent malaria. Persons exposed to
malaria should, therefore, take small
doses Of quinine.
Quinine, in 5-grain doses for adults,
taken morning and evening on two
consecutive days each week, say, Sat
friday morning and evening, and Sun
day morning and evening, from May
to November 1, or December 1, will
prevent malaria. Where persons are
unusually exposed at night in highly
malarial regions, 8 to grains of quin-
inc should be taken daily during the
height Of the malarial season, August
and September, and on two consecu-
tive days a week during the remain
ing peTlOu.
It is always well for person to
continue the use of quinine for a
month beyond the malarial season. In
the South, malaria prevails mostly
during the months of June, July, Aug
ust and September. 1t decreases If
October, and markedly in November.
Continue quinine, therefore, to Deem
Der !.
There are people who say they can
not take quinine Such persons should
avoid the bites of mosquitoes lat
nigmt).
Summary
To prevent malaria, therefore, use

ure may be used in barrels or other
water containers. but must be repeat
ed every week. The emptying and
wiping out of water containers such
as are found in chicken yards, stables,
etc, before re-flling with water, will
serve all practical purposes.
The farmer should adopt the screen
ing measure first and then look after
the destruction Of breeding places for
mosquitoes.
