INTEREST IS SHOWN IN
FIGHT on MALARIA
Several Virginia Communities Decide
to Take Part in Draining
Campaigns


With clearer understanding OF
the causes of malaria Virginia IS
experiencing new interest in meth
DDS to eliminate the disease and to
free its citizens from the exceed
iingly serious consequences OF It's
prevalence.
Malaria would no longer be trans
mitted from one person to another
and must disappear eventually
should the carrier of the disease, the
anophcles mosquito, be extermlnated
The fundamental principle of malaria
prevention is, of course, the destruc-
ton Of the breeding places OF these
disease carriers. They do not breea
in live streams but in standing wa
ter, whether such standing water be
in stagnant ponds. unscreened rain
barrels or even in cans about the
premises.
!; Detailed surveys have been made
recently With view to the elimina-
tien of malaria IN several Eastern
Virginia communities and some OF
:fs:ese have already agreed to con-
tribute, along with the state board
OF health, and the international
health board, to the expenses OF
drainage campaigns.
The anopheles mosquito rs not the
originator of malaria, but is the only
ln6wn means Of carrying the dis.
case from enc person to another.
tShe insect sucks the blood of d per-
son already infected and, in due
course Of time, in enjoying a meal
at the expense Of another individual
deposits the infection in the blood Of
the second party. Hence, in inau@u.
rating anti malaria movements. it is
essential that all persons whose blood
tests indicate the presence of the
germ should take systematic quinine
dosage for several weeks to elimi-
mate the germs from the systems.
Otherwise all the drainage that may
be done will do their Individual cases
no good.

THEN AND now!

--O-'-~
Do Won remember the days before
we had telephone or automoDlleS' Cie
DAYS before the movie came lnlo eAIs-
tence. the days when electrlc iis.,'S
were used only in large public Dulid,
ings and in homes OF the very Ftch
THEY'RE not so far back in the darN
ages at that. Scarcely 4 gercTaIioil
in fact. , ala
When the undermining changes ana
take place, the cities were the 1lrst TO
benefit. First the telephone, when put
offices and factories, business places
in general and finally private homes
into easy communication Win each
other. Then electric lights, spreading
with the telephone from stores anu
public buildings to private residences
Next the automobile, beginning WIN
the old lone lungers" that chugsed
along the streets and stalled frequent
w and at the most inconVenlent placeS'
And last of all the movie, which mas
grown to its present proportions from
the nickel theater' beginning. WINE
all of these things came first 10 CITY
people. it is gratifying to note tnat
they are now nearly as common IN 'he
cOntry as in town.
Telephone lines were extended quite
rapidly, until now practically every
farm house is in easy communications
with neighbors and with the city. A
great Improvement over the days
when it was necessary to hitch up ana
drive several miles in order to denver
short message or transact some SIN
pie business. Then, as soon as the au-
tomobile had been proved praCtlCa
as soon as there was a fair chance OF
expecting it to run several miles with
cut attention and to get along without
constant repairs, it was taken up rapid
ly by the farmer, until today there is
scarcely a farm without q car and
many with trucks and tractors as we'll.
Electric lights and the movies we're
late in coming to the country, but their
day has finally arrived. The farm cleo,
trio plant has been developed to the
point where it gives complete electric
service,-light everywhere and plenty
of power for pumping, milking, separa-
ting, washing, sweeping and other kind
of farm work. And these same small
plants have made possible movie thea
ters in every country village.
Electricity is the force which has
placed the country even with the city
enjoyment of every motern conyen
fence.
