n WISE general attacks when his
"A enemy's strength is at its weakest.
So the time to attack the mosquito is
not In the middle of the summer, when
there are millions of them, but in the
early spring, when they are beginning
to breed, or, better still, in the late
fall, when there are only few left.
The female mosquito, by which the
breed Is kept aliv,, hides during the
winter in any warm dark place she
can find. This may be a dark, warm
corner of the barn, snug place in the
basement or under old clothes in a sell
dom disturbed closet. If all these ref
uges are thoroughly cleaned and aired
during the winter, the number of hold
over mosquitoes left to start new
crop in the spring will be all the less.
But the effective time for an anti
mosquito campaign is the early spring
and the best way to prevent large
number of young mosquitoes is to de-
stroy the breeding places. The female
mosquito, in the first warm days OF
spring, comes out of her winter hiding
place and starts looking for nice,
warm, wet place in which to lay her
eggs. This may be cistern, rain bar
rel, tub or watering trough. 1t may
be an empty tin can, in which little
water has collected.
But IT, while the air is still frosty,
all rubbish is removed, all bitches
opened up and all places where water
can stand are either drained, oiled or
screened, the lady will not find any
place to lay her eggs and so will die
with her hearts desire to be numer-
GUS mother unfulfilled.
But If she finds any water, she'll
lay about 300 eggs week for about a
month, and as there are about ten
times as many females as male, every
female that survives the winter means
about 100 eggs
The eggs hatch out into wiggleTs in
about two days. It's the wigglers we
used to see In the early spring days
in the rain barrel and the duck pond.
In three days more they are tumhlers
and in another two days they are full
fiedged mosquitoes. They rise in clouds
when you pound the rain barrel or
throw a stone In the pond.
A bit of wire or cotton netting over
the barrel or a little crude oil poured
on the pond will prevent the birth Of
these hundreds of young mosquitoes.
Too much trouble? All right; then
you'll have to put up with the mos
quitoes and possibly with the 'chills
and fever" But don't blame provi-
dence or the climate or anybody but
yourself. Mosquitoes can be prevented
and if you prefer to live with them,
1t is-and may be-your own funeral.

LIVABLE EASEMENTS

TN MOST houses. even the better-built
\ ones, the cellar is a dark, dirty,
moldy hole Often without proper
light or ventilation, used for storing
fruits and vegetables, 1t breeds UNI
pleasant odors Without enough air
or sunlight to keep it sweet, it may
keep the whole house filled with damp
and polluted air.
If the cellar is to be used for stor-
age. it had much better be separate
from the house than under it. There
is no advantage and many disadvan-
tages in living over hole that is used
only for storing decaying fruits and
vegetables.
If the cellar is really necessary
mace, laundry and other cOnveniences,
then it is as much a part Of the house
as the dining room or living rooms and
should be given as much care and
thought as any other part Of the house.
In the earlier days. when basement
walls could only be built of boards,
brick or stone, well-built basement
was a difficult and expensive PROPOSE
ton. But with the present-day con-
crete building methods, dry. water
tight, well-lighted and well-ventilated
basement is possible anywhere. 1t is
literally the foundation of the house
and should be planned and built just
as carefully as any other part of the
house. Even In old houses. base
ment can be constructed that will be
dry, warm and well aired and that will
make all the rest Of the house more
comfortable.
Every basement should have sound,
water-tight walls and an even. smooth,
dry floor. If basement is damp or
musty, the whole house will be af-
fected. A dry, warm basement keeps
the rest of the house dry and warm.
Damp cellars mean higher fuel bills
and less comfort.
If the furnace and laundry are in
the basement, it should be divided into
rooms like the rest of the house. It's
poor economy to allow the dust, dirt
and smoke from the furnace and coal
bin to have free access to the laundry.
Divide the basement into at least
four rooms: Coal bin, furnace room.
laundry and storage room. This need
not require partitions of brick or stone.
Marrow tongue and groove" lumber
or some of the many plasterboard or
"compo-board" substitutes will make
tight, dustproof partition This will
not only keen the furnace dust out OF
the house, but will make the basement
both warmer and dryer. and at the
same time keep the storeroom cooler.
A ceiling Of lumber or plasterboard
will also make the first floor warmer
and prevent cold drafts in the living
room above.
Frequent coats of paiat or white
wash will keep the basement sweet
and clean.
