ANSWERS QUESTIONS
Offensive Odors No Power
To Create Or Trans

CAUSE OF MALARIA
Night Air Is as Harmless as Air
In Daytime as Far as Its Power is
Cause Disease.

Here are the answers to a few OF
the questions that Health Office
Foulks is daily called upcr to eAE.a!r
tc Interested citizens sekA.g iafor.na
ten.
Q-"Can a person contract diseas;
from the odor arising from some de-
caying substance sue as garbage o.
animal or vegetable matter?"
Ans.-No they cannct. The often
s;ve odor g'vor off ~ my rott!nG
=lhatance while very unpleasant has
70 power to create or transmit dis
ease. The bad smell IS caused by gases
formed by tie acti2n If certain bat
:cria provided by natIre ior the pu!.
pose Of breaking " ard disinteg.al
ny dead organic matter into IL
s;n.r.e and original elements SO they
may be used over again in c.hei
forms of life. Nothing 3 wasted by
nature. AS soon as a plant or animal
dies natures sanitary corps start |,
work without delay. Il this were not
so the earth woul,,' soon be covere,
with dead animal ard vegetable mat
,er and nature would sholtiy run Or
IF carbon and other rataral clemc!its.
..len all life would cease &c exist.
Q-"What is the green scum that
fo-rs on the water contained il
>tagnant pools, and Will it cause ma
IA or ether disease?''
Ans The "gree1 scum" is CON
posed of microscopic plants tns,
quickly grow in stagnanI water t:lr-
ing warm weather. Tie ci.orophy!, or
green coloring matte ii these ..in-
Itc water plants, is exatt;y the SAME
as we find in a blade c. grass or the
leaves oil trees. Il enables such pi -:
l. absorb energy dirc1tly from ii:
rays cf the sun, taking up carbon d-
oiidc and breaking it up into its s;na-
pic elements of carbon and oXyg":,.
The carbon is consumed by the pant
cGd the oxygen is given off as gas
This process is called pnotosynth ssis.
This "green "cum" is doing good WORT:
and has no power to cause disease.
These green plants ca1not grow II
water highly polluted with sewage or
l:,uHan filth.
Stagnant water may breed moslni.
ICES, but it don't cause malarial fe"ci
Malaria is caused by small pare site
organism that lives part of its life in
the body of the anopheles mosquito.
and the other part in the blood "or-
puscles of a human being, wher" 1t
completes its development. No person
can in any possible way contract ma
laria unless bitten by a mosquito that
has itself been infected by biting some
other person who has the malarial
parasite in his blood.
Q-"Is night air dangerous to
health; is it miasmatic or capable of
conveying disease?"
'Ans.-Night air is as harmless as
air in the daytime, as far as its power
to cause disease is concerned, This :s
attested by the known fact that pco-
ple who live out in the open both day
and night, are far more healthy than
those who live in houses. The old
idea was that malaria was due t" q
"n,iasm" or infectious matter rising
in the air from swamps at night
That is the reason for the more o!
less deep seated fear of night air
that still prevails.
