There are many ma tura! breeding

: = 3 80 - /. 3
There are many natural breeding
places of the malaria bearing mos
quitos, in most. communities.
In speaking Of the control oflmqss
quitos Dr.. Flanagan. says: There
are no breeding places in the COM
munity that cannot be- controlled by
one or more of the known methods
of preventing mosquitoes. A large
perc emtage of the annoyance suffer
ed by people can be obviated by
every householder seeing that there
is no water remaining in artificial
containers to cause the s'wrigglers" "
to appear. Pour little kerosene OIL!
in the rain barrels. In regard to tne
natural breeding places Of the an
obheles, or malar;al mosquito, the
matter of control is little more dl1-
fic1;t, hut it can be done. The first
thing needed is to open up the
streams and clean off the banks: and
where the waetr is sluggish add oil
bv the installation Of automatic oil
dsrips. With proper cooperation ana
a small expenditure of money every
community can be made mosquito
free and malaria kept out.

THE PASSING BOOK STORE

An editorial in the New York
Times recently feeling lamented the
passing of the book store.
The Times assigns certain condi-
tions as causes for the gradual pass
ing of the bookstore, but the princi
pal reason seems to be the lack of
taste for reading which is so much
in evidence in this busy age of the
world.
Proprietors of Ecw and second
hand bookstores in the large cite;
are Arabians-that is they are liable
to fold their tents at any time and
stea! away or embark in other chan
nols Of trade. Three were recently
located On Eleventh street, between
Pennsylvania avenue and E street:
Washington. They vanished almost
in Il night.
Bookstores, new and secondhand,
are stable institutions in London.
They flourish in many places on the
Strand. Regent street, Piccadilly and
ether thoroughfares, and are liber-
ally pstronlzed.
The father of Doctor Samuel john
son was a bookseller. He disposed
of his stock from stall in the
L:tchfeM market area. For many
wears he appeared on market days
III his collections. On one occasion
hi old man was indisposed and I'M
attic to take his accustomed position.
and he requested his son Samuel to
take his place in the market. The
yopngster fatty refused. His father
subsequently paid the debt of na-
ture. Johnson. after he became ia
nous, was often troubled By recol-
lection of his refusal to s. to the
market at the request Of his >aged
father, ard cnce q year tire grca-
scholar repaired to the market area
in L;tchfeld and took position at
the spot where his father sod books.
As he grew older and new genera
tion appeared in Litchfie,d this now
s.derly man annually attracted at"
tention by stardirg bareheaded
sometimes while .rhtping was flash
ing and rain falling. But few could
explain his actions. He was doing
penance.
Conscience, that Divine witress III
the human soul, grinds slowly, but
exceeding fine.
