FURBUSH URGES WAR
AGAINST MOSQUITOES
City's Residents Are Told to
Eliminate All Breeding
Places Of Pests

DR.. e. Lincoln Furbush, director Of
the Department Of Public Health. in
his weekly bulletin. rallies Philadel-
phia's householders against the mos
quito.
The bulletin reads in part
"The time to eliminate the mosquito
nuisance is right now. 1t is folly to
wait until the hibernating mosquitoes
find suitable breeding places to deposit
their eggs and to continue their propa-
CATION before organizing efforts to COM
bat them.
"Clogged rainspoutS which cause the

cd and mcndcd. Very often n mere
depression in the ground may act~as a
receptacle for water in which mosquito
eggs may devclop. In fact. any object
capable of holding water may, during
the snring and summer months. act as
breeding places.
''Thc uususpectcd flowerpot saucer
containing water Is fertile source Of
mosquitoes in the home. The unused
wash pitcher and bowl containing just
enough water may account for tho an
noying mosquito in the bedroom.
"Thcrc is much to be done in the home
of every resident if this nuisance is TO
be properly abatPd. The number of
mosquitoes during the warm weather to
follow will depend largely upon the
efforts of the public to assist the city
authorities in cleaning up the potential
breeding places.
