malari1.
To prevent malaria therefore Is
double problem. First. mosquitoes
must be kept from biting persons
sick with malaria. Second these
same mosquitoes. II infected. must bc
kept from biting well persons.
These things can be accomplished
either by preventing the mosquito
from reaching sufferer from ma.
laria or the malarinl germ can be
destroyed In the blood OF the infect.
ed person.
Quininc possesses the power. when
introduced into the human system.
Of entirely neutralizlng the malarial
poison. Of killing the germ.
Mosquitoes can be prevented from
reaching the malarial patient by pre-.
venting their breeding during the
summer months and by barring out
by screens those which do survive.
The germ In the patients blood
should also be destroyed 40 that II
a mosquito does succeed In biting
him Il shall not become infected.
Finally the accidentally infected
mosquito must be prevented from
biting n well person. This can only
be done by killing the mosquito and
discriminating the species.

PROTEST AGAINST
NO COAL ORDER

Cereal beverage manufacturers Of
the nation are conducting a tele-
graphic campaign in an attempt TO
have DR.. Garfield modify the recent
no coal order OF the fuel administra-
ton against the breweries and the
cereal beverage makers
When the brewers representatives
came down last week to protest, they
were unable to see GARFIELD and only
their attorney was received by ]. B.
Noyes, head OF the conservation d.
vision OF the administration. The
brewers are also the largest cereal
beverage makers. and anticipating
that possibility Of war time prohibit
ton they have made heavy invest
ments to manufacture this class of
drinks Many thousands of kilograms
have been received by the fuel ad-
mtnistration during the last two
days, so similarly worded that the ad-
ministration believes the cereal beV-

toners and sympathizers a form teIe-
gram to be sent here. There is no

NEW REGULATIONS
IN EFFECT TODAY
LIMIT SUGAR SALES

Today the new sugar regulations
go into effect in the District OF Co.
lumbia and all over the United States.
They have been formulated to con
serve sugar for fruit preservation and
for domestic use. The Food Admins
tration believes that IL the sugar
rules are given the hearty support the
flour regulations received. there will
be enough sugar for all reasonable
needs.
For the last fifteen days there has
been a swarm OF visitors at the office
of District Food Administrator c. r.
Wilson, at Dol Sixteenth street north
west. They have been filing their ap-
plications for sugar and obtaining
certificates. which alone will enable
dealers and CONNECTION manufacturers
to buy the sugar they need during
July, August and September.
II there is any sugar found in the
hands Of any person in Washington
in excess OF his needs from month to
month 1t will be confiscated and his
celtifcate will be revoked.
Retailers have pledged themselves not
to sell any f4mily more than three
pounds OF sugar per person per month
and not more than two pounds at 4
time to a city family. and not more
than hve pounds to a country family.
A statement from customers is also re-
CURED that they have not purchased
anywhere more than three pounds Of
sugar per person a month.

MILITANT PAC|F|ST

CAMP MEADE, Nd, July 16.-Pri-
Vate William Rantor. OF Philadelphia,
one Of the militant pacihsts, who
went SO far as to wage a Campaign
against the Liberty loans by mail
sent out from camp, has been SEN
fenced to ten years at hard labor by
court-martial.
hantor, as an objector to service,
tried to win over the other directors
and others to his theories. He stood
out as noisy opponent to all gov
ornamental authority, and for a while
even was opposed to having his hair
cut kantor had plenty OF energy
When IL was matter OF talk, as he
had been a street orator in PhiladeI-
phia before his number was called I'D
in the selective draft.
He carried his hatred Of the coun-
try to the point where he even op-
posed hlm plays in which patriotic
sentiments were expressed in the
plots. He called the Liberty loan a
slavery loan, and rejoiced when, as he
thought, the success of the campaign
was in doubt. Rantor became some
what popular among the gun dodgers
OF the conscientious directors de-
tachment who could find no argu-
ments OF their own and allowed
ksntor TO be their spokesman. He
used his influence to prevent many
from responding to the opportunities
for service that were made from time
