IF YOU HAVE TUBERCU-
LOSIS, STAY. HOME

NNE of the common beliefs about
~ tuberculosis is that climate Is Of
great Importance in it's treatment. AS

tuberculosis, his friends and relatives

California, Colorado. Arizona, Florida,
the White mountains, or the Adircn.
dacks.
This is not surprising when we re-
member that for many years doctors
held the same opinion. A hundred
years ago, when young man went
into decline" II was customary for
the attending physician TO order a
long sea voyage Sometimes the man
came home we'll. Sometimes he never
came back. When the cause of tuber-
.ulosis was first recognized. about for
ty years ago, 1t was common for doc
tors to send their consumptive patients
TO California or Colorado. Later on
New Mexico and Arizona became pop
1lar resorts for consumptives.

Just as we have learned that no
medicine will cure tuberculosis. so we
have also learned that no climate will
cure IT.
There are four things which every

to have a chance to recover. These
are rest. fresh air. good care and nour-

probably get them better at home than

sELF-ENTERTAINMENT

FRANK MARSHAL lives in the vii
L lage near which l was born. He
was farmer until he was forty-five-
a prosperous farmer whose land had
been left him by his. father. He had
never really worked hard. He had
gone to the district school until he
was fourteen and his father had even
sent him TO boys academy for a
time and had offered to put him
through college, but he was not fond
of study, he saw nothing very prac-
tical in books or in education, and he
came back home at the end of his first
year at the academy and announced
that he was through. He went to work
on the farm, and few years later,
his father having died, he Inherited
1t and took. charge Of it.
He developed no interest outside Of
the routine work in which he was en-
gagged He had no avocations, no hob
bies, no recreations. He never read
book so far as know; he had no in
terest In newspapers excepting in the
one or two technical agricultural pa
pers which his father had subscribed
for and which he paid for each year
In an uninterested way. He had no
interest in music; he could not play
game; the details of travel confused
him and got on his nerves. He was
totally without resources for self-en-
tertainment. 1t had never occurred to
him when he was young that old age
would one day catch up with him and
separate him from his old occupation,
and if he were then to be happy there
must be something within him to form
q basis Of that happiness.
He moved to town when he was
forty-five and gave up work. He sits
by the radiator in winter and on the
porch in summer, restless and discon-
tented. His chief interest Is tending
the furnace in winter and moving the
lawn In summer. He has. four times
as much money as he can spend, but
he's wretchedly unhappy because he
has never learned to enjoy himself.
One of the happiest persons l ever
knew was an old lady, blind and bed
ridden. She had read widely and this
reading had taken her into fields of
poetry and romance, and into every
foreign country on the globes AS she
lay in bed her mind was filed with
beautiful memories; her imagination
carried her far away from the scene
of her misfortune She reDeated to
herself the beautiful things she had
committed to memory :, she sat with
the people she had met in history and
biography and fiction. No one who
visited her was ever impressed with
the fact that she was helpless and
blind. for her mind was full of things
for her own entertainment.

places and damp and shady spots for
them to live In during the daytime.
In early times, 1t was noticed that
malaria often developed In new com.
tries, with the breaking up of the soil,
and disappeared after the land was
drained and settled. This was because
breaking up the soil caused depres-
sions and hollow places in which wa
ter collected. Later on, as the ground
was drained, the mosquitoes disap
peared, because their breeding-places
were destroyed.
The female mosquito lays her eggs,
from 40 to 200 at time, in stagnant
pools; on the margins of ponds and
fresh-water lakes; in roadside ditcbes
and ruts; even in tin cans and broken
bottles.
The eggs hatch in two or three days
and the young females soon begin to
lay eggs. so that If. places are
present, they increase in enormous
quantities.

may be, mosquitoes are harmless I'M

followed with complete success, ma.
laria would entirely disappear, just as
yellow fever is now rapidly disappear
ing from the earth.
The breeding Of mosquitoes can be
prevented by draining all stagnant
pools Of water and destroying all pos
sible breeding-places. II these swamps,
or pools cannot be drained, crude oil
is put into the water. This forms
coating on the top Of the water and
when the mosquito larvae come up to
breathe. they are unable to penetrate
this Aim and die from suffocation.
Mosquito control was first devel-
oped on large scale by General Cor
gas in the Canal Zone. In 1906. when
Gorgas went to Panama, there were
nearly $4,000 cases of malaria among
the 10000 employees working on the
canal. Today there is practically no
malaria In the Canal Zone. Wiping
out malaria in Panama cost the gcv.
eminent $3.50 a year per person. less
than l cent day-about the cost of
q stick of gum.
State boards of health have worked
out methods for malaria control, es-
pecially in our Southern states. so
that any community can be free from
malaria at very slight expense.
If you have malaria in your family
or your community. it's your own fault.
