OF mischief. This little insect has
made countless trips to human be-

Panama Canal. Thousands OF lives
were lost Cuba, at one time, particu-
larly suffered from this disease, which
took its heavy toll OF her population
When we think OF yellow fever and
the mosquito, we think OF Doctor
Walter Reed. The experiments OF this
genius first showed that the
chief method of transmitting yellow
fever is the bite OF an infected mos

prevented by the destruction OF the

The result OF this last great scien-
