cause of malarial fever.


If we could contribute a portion
of the money we expend in treating
and caring for those who are sick of
malaria, and burying those who die
we would be relieved of an enormous
expense.
A report from the Bureau of VII
tai Statistics shows that in Sumter
county alone sixteen persons died
from this disease last year, and from
information obtained through the of
flee of the State Collaborating Epi-
demiologist it is shown that each
death represents three hundred and
fortysix cases of this disease that
get better and do not die.
With the information we have
malaria Is not problem; simply get
rid of the mosquitoes. II not prac-
tical to drain all ponds and stagnant
pools of water, pour crude oil on all
mountaineering places every two
weeks. Screen your house and use
mosquito bar over your bed if
necessary.

INTERFERENCE.

INTERFERENCE. -
For an hour or more Dick waited
patiently at his wireless dictagraph
IN Gafrick's room.
In 5the silence, broken now and
then by some amateur, he had
plenty of time to think of Ruth.
In spite of himself his suspicious
ried him on to the Parr robbery, now
known to have included the taking
nj valuable jewels as5well as the loot
ing of the Parr cellar of some of its
choicest vintages. His thoughts ran
beyond that, to the radio dance and
the suspicious signaling from che
tower of the Gerard house.
Who was the ringIeader of this
miserable affair? He thought of
Brock, of Georges-and of Jack Cur
tbs. He gritted his teeth. He hated
the very name of the debonair ad-
veHtnrer.
D:ck started from his reverie. The
dictagIaph was working! -
Through the high resistance head
pieces ne heard voices, almost as if
from one of the old Photographs. He
strained his ears to recognize the
voices, 1t was Vira speaking. To
Ruth?
We'll, here We are again. For a
second last night | though we were
never going to get to the old Inner
Circle again. You're some driver.

Dick, at the other ,snd,v had been a
bit wprried about the ethics Of what
mIarrhk's detective proclivities had

he would stop if it were not for what
Guy Fould say. If he had stopped
long enough he might have admitted
that Ne was just like the other mil

would have liked an eafful ON, the

MALARIA DUE ONLY
TO MOSQUITO BITE

During the rainy, warm weather
there is an increase of mosquitoes
that may carry the poison producing
malaria fever. Malaria is prevalent
in our county and mosquitoes NAY
easily become infected by sucking
blood from those suffering from this
disease. A mosquito must first suck
blood from a person who has ma
laria before he can carry the poison

MILLS STORY
OF HIS ESCAPE
SENSATIONAL
Auto Bandit In Troy Jail
Describes Many
Exploits

TROY, N. Y, Nov. 18-The de-
tailed story of now George Mills,
captured here for breaking jail at
s.. Johnsbury, VT, and for steal
ing several automobiles, escaped
from the police of Worcester at
Se;rS Island, Indian Lake, and
why he entered into the maze of
activities which brought about his
present plight, was told by Mills
in his cell in Rensselaer, county Jail
where he is incarcerated.
Considerable prodding was nee
essary to persuade the sensational
young bandit to tell his story. He
appeared at first somewhat resent
full. He asserted that he did not
wish to tell anything about his ex-
ploits. At length he consented
when he was told that his escape
from Worcester was deep mys-
terry which defied solution.

o'clock in the morning with a Cad

the success of the affair, came be

ed. Mr.. Coombs spoke of the many
friends he had met in St. Johns
bury during his short stay and
said that he was coming back next
year to stage the Elks Frolc for
1928.
There was a professional touch
to the whole performance which
has never before been seen at Il
local talent show and the Elks
Frolic of 1922 was an unqualified
success and all who participated in
it from the little tots, who 50
charmingly staged the wedding
scenes to the oluer ones, deserve
