Health Talks By JOHN B. HUBER, AM. MID.
God does not fix the death rate. MAIIARIA PREXETNHION-I

I have been asked a great deal about malaria in the home, in the following relates to the extermina- tion of malaria in large areas, such as large industrial plants, in marsh lands and in unwholesome areas which can be turned into fair ana healthful cities.
 Ronald Reed, an English army sur geon, discovered in 1898 that the ma laria germ (the plasmodium) is con- veyed to man only by the bite of the female anopheleS mosquito. No where else on the globe did the Lady Anopheline (being here as elsewhere in nature, more deadly than the male) flourish so luxuriantly as in Panama. But our Gorgas rendered the Canal Zone so free of malaria, Yellow Jack, and like pestilences, that today only three cities in the whole United When malaria can thus be wiped off the 1sthmus, the like can be achieved anywhere, if the people of the given region, or the group of enterprisers concerned have but the acumen and the backbone to take up the big job.
 Here, then is how Gorgas and his associates worked:
 CD The habitat of anopheIes during the 1arval stage is destroyed within 100 yards of dwellings. The larvae of this mosquito live only as rule, in clear, fresh water that is plentifully supplied with grass and tive and economical plan; once put down they require no more atten- tion- No water being exposed to the surface there is no breeding place left for the mosquito; by means of a horse mower or scythe the grass over the drain can be aIt.

CD All protec- ton for the adult mosqoito must be destroyed The adult is weak on the wing, not generally flying far and needing plenty of grass and brush for protection against the wind. Brush and grass are therefore cleared for

THE ambitions of Greece are
costing the Princess Anasta-

Leeds, almost S1,000,000 this
year, according to friends. In
addition to the 100000, which
it is said she contributed to help
bring about King Constantine's
restoration, it is now reported
that she is to give S500,000 to
the Greek Treasury soon to help
defray the expenses of the Tur-

that the Princess has even con-
sidered selling her famous col

valued just under $1,000,000.

GREAT BRITAIN HELD UP
AS FACTOR FOR PEACE
Arthur Meighan Tells Need of
Settlement in Europe.

HALIFAX. n. S., Aug. 7.-Great Britain
was declared to be the greatest factor
in the world to-day for preserving peace
by Premier Arthur Meighan of Canada,
who arrived here Saturday after several
weeks passed in London In conference
with the Prime Ministers of various
sections of the British Empire.
You cannot In these days." he said,
have peace anywhere unless you have
at least substantial peace In Europe.
The influence of British statesmen in the
councils of the world is greater because
the dominions and India are within the
Empire and because she reflects or wants
to reflect their views as well as her own"
Premier Meighan declined to discuss
the subjects taken up at the conference
In London until he has had an oppor-
tunity TO consult with his colleagues.

MADRID, Aug. THE column of Gen.
Navarro, which was besieged by the
rebellious Moors on Mount Arruit. has
been annihilated. according to a COM
munication received here from Gen.
Berenguer, the Spanish High Commits
sioner in Morocco. Gen. Navarro s
forces comprised several thousand men.
Recent dispatches indicated that the
Spaniards had been driven back to a
line averaging about four miles from
Melilla. The key to the position. Ma
dor. six miles from Melilla, had been
captured by the Moors.
Gen Navarro's column was at Mount
Arruit, eighteen miles away, but all at
tempts to relieve him had failed. The
Moors were reported still to be greatly
excited and intent upon the cNtermina-
ton OF the Spaniards. Gruesome tro-
phies of massacres were passing from
village to village.
The Moors, 1t is said, have an army
organized in European style. with Off
GERS and men drawing pay totalling
more than $4,000 pesetas daily.
The first intimation that Navarro had
met with a crushing disaster came when
Spanish airplanes, which we're taking
ont supplies to the bcsieged column.
failed to locate 1t. It was known the
Moors had been attacking the Spaniards
with artillery and infantry for some
days. and that Navarro's provisions and
munitions were running low.
A Melilla report says a rumor Is be-
ing circulated among the native tribes
men that Gen. Sylvestre. who was re-
ported to have committed suicide after
his defeat by the rebels, is not dead but
is being held prisoner. There is no con-
ffrmation OF the report that Cen Syl-
vcstre's body has been found. Gen Be-
renguer has ordered that a search be
made for It.
Since the recent drive by the Moors
in the region south OF MeliIla, Spanish
forces of the Third Foreign Corps and
men from the command of Gen. Ma
varro have been reported in precarious
position at Mount Arruit. AS Late as
here and also at Nador and zeluan
were continuing TO resist the Moorish
tribesmen, and that airplanes were sup
plying them with food. medicine and
ammunition. Thursday II was reported
that Mount Arruit had been evacuated
and on Friday the capture of Nador and
Zeluan by the Moors was confirmed.

tions in Morocco. 1t is about all the
