Your Health How to Keep It.
 Causes of Illness
(By DIR. HUGH $. CUMMING) Surgeon General, United States
 pMhIic Hcalth Service

l1DIlC 1itdIlll StGN lCG Mosquiocs differ greatly in their habits. Some species are most com monly found near the home of man, and few species are found almost exclusively in the immediate vicinity of human hahitations. This is par ticularly true of the species common ly known aa the yellow fever and donEuc mosquto"6.
 Auotlcr species which may he called th" Tild mosquito frcquenS the common salt marshes. A third class sometimes called the scmi-do- mestic class, may be found both about human hahitation8 and in awamps and fields. IL is to this semi domestic class of mosquitoes that the genus Anopheles belongs.
 The genus Anophcles is the mos tnuito commonly associated with the spread Of malaria and known as the malurial mosquito.
 Mosquitoes pass through Tour stages. he first st&Sr. tn" egg or Ycmbryo; the second stage, the larva; the third, or pupa stage, and fourth, the image or adult Winger insect The thrre caller stages in the lii" of a mosquito are passed in water, NIosauitops do not breed in vrEnta- tian or on the wet grass or bushes,
 Mosquitoes differ moi only in their habits but also in the character of tNeir breeding places. The y"llo" fever mosquito and others of the first species mentioned, may b" found breeding in almost any col ilcction of water near human habita- ition except ground water. They hay" hccn found in old tin cans containing water. in broken bottles, in tubs and barrels, in cistornS in flower pots land in cave guticrs.
 The species of mosquito 10 which the malaria bearing insects belong may be found breeding in partly filled water barrels, in the hoot- rrjnts of animals, in old tin cans, in hollow tree stumps, and in post holes. They usually sccm 10 prefer however, grass bordornd pools and in ditchcs through which water flows but slowly.
 Some species of Anoph"lc breed frequently on the clE' Of fairly free running brooks. The wild mosquito selects a breeding place Of much 'h, same character.

 What does he look like?' cried Peter eagerly,

 Mary had laid down her moga2ine and risen at our entrance and she stood looking from ono of us 10 the other with bright intent regard that was q bit disConcerting in Its very inscrutabiity.

 But Jimmy was not crazy. He had recognized, in the man who was boarding the street car, none other than Kid Divis.
 There was no time for explana- tions. Everything else could wait would have to welt.
 "I'll not let him get away this time" he Snarled.
 He swung aboard the car. just as G,o conductor was closing the door. H. glanced swiftly about him, his head lowered, his eyes peerlnF. He thought, "I mustn't take any chance of being recognized.'
 Divis had moved up in the car. Jimmy saw a newspaper lying on the rear platform. He picked 1t up, slid into the seat nearest the conductor, from where he could observe Divis' back, and shielded his face with the paper.
 He wondered what he would do what his plan of action would ioe-if Diris should see him and leave the car.
 Grab him, that's all" he told himself, and sat, hoping that there would be no such action needed. IL wasn't Divis he wanted, he told himself, It vas Jensen. Divis, if arrested. would only lie again about Jrnsens' whereabouts. Perhaps he was going 10 see Jensen now
 Once Divis glan"ed nervously to- ward the rear of the car. Jimmy, his face exposed, shifted the paper quickly in front of his eyes, striving 1 for an outward show Of nonchalance that he did not feel. ] But Divis had not seen him-or, at least. had not recognized him--for i he turned slowly around again and stared out of tho car window.
 The car rolled on-block after block. Passengers left at nearly every stop, and now a new fear struck Jimmy-that if they rode much further ne and Divis would be alone on the car. In which event, he knew, he must be recognized.
 Minutes passed--to Jimmy. nerv- ous, apprchensive, they seemed like 1 hours.
 The car, with fewer stops 10 make, rushed along at swaying, dizzy speed.
 Jimmy, still behind his newspaper, saw the passengers gradually thin out until there were only three re- maining besides himself and Divis,
 Good night" he said to himself, "Is the man going to the end Of the linc?"
 Another passenger left The car moved on.
 End of the line" sang the con ductor. "All out"
 Divis had risen from his seat. vas walking down the aisle toward the rear platform. Jimmy saw that Divis would pass him.
 He thought, T can't follow hin out What can l do? If trail aftel him he's bound 10 recognize me"
 Struck with A sudden inspiration he closed his eyes and gently tilted his head back. letting the paper fal against his face and completely hid ing it from Divis' view. The othei two passengers preceded Divis out o the car. Divis, with an amused glance at the sleeper in the real seat swung down of the step. Hey in there. end of the line. yelled the conductor. He gave Jim my none too gentle push. Wan off here?'
 "Huh?" Jimmy was acting for th' benefit Of Divls. If he were stil within earshot, he thought, his rus, might work. He said, in voice dis guised and husky, Hell. rode pas . my stop.
