BOYS LIFE.

Last Thursday night Messrs Bert
and Earl White, John Thomas Yates
and Sylvester Creekmoore were
camping at Echols Old Mill on Oco-
bla Greek. They had retired for the
night when they were awakened by
their dogs baying. The dogs We're
much disturbed and the object OF
disturbance seemed near at hand, SO
the fishermen decided to repair from
the camp-site. In making away Syl-
vester Creekmoore, with shot gun
In hand, stumbled over a stump.
His gun was accidentally fred land a
mule standing between him and
Bert White received the whole dis
charge. The mule lived but few
minutes.
The boys seemed to think that but
for the mule Bert White would have
been shot The mule belonged to Mr..
II. j. White, the father of Bert White.
Mr.. White expressed himself as not
grieving over the loss OF the mule as

PRECAUTIONS FOR MALARIA

There is perhaps no more impor-
tant problem in the State OF Missis-
sippi In disease prevention than In
the control and eradication of Mala-
ria. 1t is well known fact a person
can only contract malaria through
the bite OF mosquito OF q certain
type and this mosquito usually flies
only at night. 1t Is then clear that q
person becomes infected with mala-
fia, as rule, by the bite OF the
anopheles mosquito between sunset
and sunrise. The danger from infec-
tion is greatly reduced by living in a
screened house and having at least
O. part OF the porch screened. II all
people who contract malaria would
disinfect their blood by taking qui-
nine continuously for period OF
two months, this one thing would
greatly reduce the disease each year.
1t is of interest to note that mala-
ria has decreased In Mississippi dur
Ing the past six years both In cases
and deaths. In 1916 there were 1885,
707 cases OF malaria reported by the
physicians of the state. In 1920, 49,
376 cases. While the deaths from
malaria have decreased from 1892 in
. 1915 to 653 in 1919. There isno reason
why people should be injected with
tllis disease If the proper precautions
are taken to prevent 1t. There are
two important factors that should
be observed in the prevention OF
malaria: First, avoid the bite OF the
mosquito especially at night or be-
tween sundown and sunup; second,
take proper treatment, II injected,
for a period OF two months In order
to thoroughly sterilize the blood, or,
La other words, destroy the para
sites IN the blood by the use OF ,qni-
nine. Many people make the mistake
of taking patent medicines or quiz
nine tonics instead Of using pure
quinine for treating this disease. A
person who contracts malaria should
consult a physician and take the
treatment continuously until the
blood is proven to be negative. This
usually requires about two months
treatment
Bulletins on the prevention and
cure OF malaria may be obtained free
from the State Board Of Health.
