They were good old times.

Cumberland Post Wants
Boat Named for City

Fort Cumberland post of the Legion,
Cumberland, Md, will ask the mayor
and city council to request the Navy
department to name light cruiser or
gunboat for the city of Cumberland.
1t is pointed out that there has not
been a ship in the navy for years
named Cumberland. During the Civil
war the wooden frigate Cumberland
was sunk by the ironclad Virginia.
The wooden Cumberland put up
good fight against It's armored antag-

the Monitor and the Merrimac which

Do A,uay With Mosquito
and Malaria Vanisjtes

1t is estimated that the deaths
annually from malaria number
some two millions, and this figure
may probably be- multiplied by two
or three hundred If we would arrive
at the totar number of people In
the world affected by the COM
plant.
Malaria is mainly q disease OF
the tropics, and Is caused by MI
mute parasite In the blood. The
parasite In one malaria patient
may number anything from one
hundred to q thousand millions. In
many cases there are more para
sites than there are people on the
earth, and for ages 1t was believed
that marshes and malaria were IN
some way connected.
Sir Ronald Ross discovered that
1t was not the marsh, but the mos
quito which bred In the marsh
which was the originator of the
disease. and he declares that the
parasite of - malaria is, to the
mosquito which carries 1t. as a dime
would be to a hippopotamus!
When dIsease-carrying mosquito
bites, 1t injects saliva In which
are the malaria parasites. These
are carried into the human circu
latory system and 80 throughout
the body.
The cure for malaria is QWnine
but the prevention of malaria is
the destruction Of the mosquito IL
which 1t breeds.

Famous Old Church

This year sees the three hundred
and siXty-fourth anniversary Of the
demolition of the magnificent
Church of st. John al Perth, the
restoration of which is now contem.
plated. sf
This Is without doubt one Of the
most interesting churches in Scot
land, says the Weekly Edinburgh
Scotsman. Tradition ascribes its
foundation to the Picts, but, who.
ever founded it, it is one of the
earliest stone churches built in the
country; and, in the Twelfth and
Thirteenth centuries. as evidenced
both by ancient documents and by
the surviving remnants of the edi-
fee of that time, it was magnifi-
cent and extensive. The monk of
Dunfermline, to whom It was
granted, allowed it to fall into dis
repair-a state Of affairs which
Robert the Bruce set about rem
edying, but the restoration was
stayed by his death.
