PAYNE SAYS START
NOW ON MOSQUITOES
Important Preventive Measures
Suggested By County Health
Commissioner

DR.. ]. w. Payne, county health
commissioner, today declared that
this is the best time to begin a fight
fight on mosquitoes, asserting that
malaria is due solely to the malarial
parasire being pumped into the
blood by the mosquito.
This being the season in which
mosquitoes are just beginning to
breed, said DIR Payne, l wish to call
attntion to a few of the most
important preventive measures,
so as nearly as possible stamp out
Malaria i'll cur county during the
coming season.
1t is impossible for the mosquito
to carry the malaria parasite in its
system throughout winter season,
SO if every person who has malaria
in their blood would begin now and
take ten grains of Quinine each day
for Sixty days, it would get the ma.
laria out of his system, and at the
same time this Qu;nine would pre-
vent the mosquito from transmitting
the malaria from one person to an
other.
'The taking OF quinine at this
time is of extreme Importance as
it is preventative as we'll as a
cure.
To prevent new cases of malaria
we will have turn our attention to
the prevention of the breeding Of
mosquitoes.
''They only breed in standing or
very slowly moving water SO drain
ing is of most Importance, and
where this is impractical we mus re
sort to the oiling of these places
every seven days.
Where we can't do either we
must screen with not less than No,
16 mesh screens ocer all pools, kin
dows, chimney flues, ana all other
openings.
~ wish to call attention to the
householder to the following which
will aid materially in our fight
against this dreaded and prevent
able disease.
keep your premises clear Of
weeds, brush, aud tin cans.
"Abo!ish all open water contain
ers.
Cover water containers in open
yard water closets.
keep house cutters clear of wa.
ter.
Use bed nets if necessary.
Report and care for all fevc~
patients.
Correct refrigerator drainage.
Consult your doctor or Com.
missioner of Health for protective
measures.
Let's win this fight against the
mosquito and malaria this year.

UNDERWOOD CALLED
FRIEND Of LABOR

ATLANTA, April 8,-That SEN
ator Oscar Underwood now candi-
date for president, favors a square
deal for labor, was the opinion ex-
pressed here today by labor lead
ers who are more or less satisfied
with politics and who see in the
forthcoming national convention
strong probability of his nomina-
ton.
Attention is called to the fact
here today that in addition to the
stand theAlabama Senator took on
the railroad question in congress
at a critical time, giving the rail-
way systems the opportunity to re-
establish their credit and develop
their property, that when he was
member of the Interstate Commerce
Commission he insisted upon COM
pulsory arbitration of disputes be-
tween railway men and their en-
ployers.
This section was holly contested.
There had been considerable talk
of the possibility of such a strike
Senator Underwood said in COM
mittee hearing
What l want to see is a way to
avoid that difficulty that will not
do injustice. You say you rep
resent a great body Of men, but
my Colleagues and l represent the
public"
Mr.. Underwood as a member Of
the house was one of the champion
of the law which abolished the rail
way blacklist an arrangement which
prevented an employe discharged by
one railway from securing a lob
with another. IF he was not a
friend to labor why did he do this?
Is a question put here by number
Of labor leaders.
He also voted for the anti-iniunc-
ZION Dill which forbade federal
judges from enjoining strikers, for
the bill limiting immigration for the
compensation bill for injuries for
workmen engaged in interstate
commerce; for the Board of Media
ton and Consolation; for anti,
trust act which declared labor to be
neither a commodity nor an article
Of comerce; for the eight hour
day for persons engaged in inter
state commerce; for a minimum
wage bill in the District Of Colum-
bia, and for the LaFollette Sea
mans bill.
Looks like he is a pretty good
friend to labor since he stood. out

ment of all railway disputes it is
