course no mosquitoes can breed except

on the water kills the wiggletails, or

Most cases Of chills and fever, par.

tive diagnosis of malaria in the place
where we know no Misunderstanding

In a region where Anopheles mos.

may be made even if the microscopic
examination of the blood smear fails
to show the malaria parasites, If the
physician finds an enlarged spleen, and
especially when there are other posi-

No good physician even suspects
malaria in the Northern States or

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

Several times recently this depart.
ment has been asked to write an
article on infantile paralysis. This is
not a medical column and in most
cases we prefer to make no mention
of diseases. To write down a list Of
symptoms Is to encourage their dis
covery in q child, and if a child is
really i'll. the parents will recognize
1t and consult a doctor. When there
are fever and illness, home diagnosis
is to be deprecated
The health commissioners of va
riouS States are issuing warnings to
parents because of the spread of in
fantile paralysis, and this column
takes occasion to broadcast that
warning.
Last year infantile paralysis was
not alarmingly prevalent. This year
there has been an increased number
of cases reported within five weeks.
1t Is better that parents be alert for
the signs of the disease so that the
child may be put in the hands Of the
physician and the spread of the dis
ease through ignorance be checked.
The ordinary symptoms may be
nothing more than headache, vomit-
ing. diarrhea and an elevation of tenn
perature. When any of these symp-
toms are present, it is better to let
the doctor take a look at the child to
be sure he is not suffering with in.
fantile paralysis.
1t is thought possible that this
disease is spread by the germs pres
ent in intestinal discharges. 1T is
wise to let no children play with other
children that have symptoms of in
testinal disease such as fever, vomit-
ing, diarrhea; nor to allow their food
to be handled by adults who have any
of these symptoms"
Our health commissioner stresses
the importance of washing ones
hands before handling foods or the
utensils in which they are cooked,
and of killing all flies on the premises.
This warning is not given to alarm
parents. 1t is merely a precaution
that should help them to cut down
this spread of the disease by taking
every precaution, since the symptoms
are in no wise different from any
other less harmful ailments.

THE WOMAN OF FIFTY.FOUR
BY CLYDE CALLISTER..

Perhaps, If we but knew the facts,
the greatest of all the Bonapartes was
Letizia Ramolino, the mother of the
13 children. the greatest of whom was
Napoleon. She was probably more
beautiful than any of her daughters.
She was of FIorentne extraction,
though a Corsican by birth, and it
was through her Italian frugality and
economy that she was able to give her
children the education that their SUI
perior endowments demanded
1t was when Nine Bonaparte was
81 that her son Napoleon was crowned
Emperor and she herself was given
the important title of Madame Mere
under the French government But
though she must have thrilled with
pride at the crowning of her son. it is
said that his extraordinary rise never
dazzled her. She seems, in fact, to
have been less elated by her sons
success than by that of any Of his
brothers and sisters and continued her
rather frugal style of living. greatly
to the displeasure Of the Emperor.

actress, is woman of this age, and

No Mosquitoes, No Malaria.

The name malaria is just as mis-
leading as the name cold" Malaria
means literally bad air, but the name
was given the disease before the ma
ture or cause of the disease was
known. 1t still misleads great many
people who persist in imagining that
malaria is caused by dampness or by
some vague 1h1aRml that comes out of
q swamp, or even by night air.
Malaria is never caused by bad
drinking water, bad air or bad food.
One can get malaria only by being
inoculated by mosquito, and only by
a mosquito of the Anopheles genus or
variety, and only by the female
Anopheles, usually the quadrimacula-
tus variety in this country, and only
when she has had access to malaria
patient and the privilege of drawing
off a sample of the ptient's blood
through her bill. No mosquitoes, no
malaria. At least no other insect,
animal or inanimate carrier has been
found.
The common or garden mosquito
that makes life miserable in many
parts of the Northern States and
Canada cannot carry malaria. These
familiar porch pests are of the Culex
genus or variety There are certain
characteristic differences between
Anopheles and Culex mosquitoes that
every one should know, if only for
peace of mind in case of collision with
the pests.
First, the Culex or non-malaria-
carrying mosquitoes commonly breed
in unscreened cisterns, rain barrels,
hoof prints in the ground, old cans
or bottles left to hold water about the
dooryard, obstructed caves, bird baths,
and the like.
On the other hand Anopheles, or
malaria-carrying mosquitoes, seldom
breed close to habitations, but prefer
ponds or reservoirs or culverts or
sluggish streams or pools in old stone
quarries.
When a Culex alights on the skin
the mosquitoes body is parallel with
the plane of the skin. When an
-Anopheles alights the mosquitoes body
is at an angle with the plane of the

fortunate part OF the latter method is
that the bed will have the blankets

given the housekeeper' or the maid

The correct way to have the blan-
kets on n bed is with the hens at the

bed Is made in n rudimentary way
when the crease between the blankets
is at the top. as if the putting on of

without its being done in a finished
way, whereas 1t is just as much a
| token of efficiency in the care of de.
tails TO have bed made properly
| throughout as to have the spread put
on evenly and the pillows smooth in
the parts that show.
Convenience.
The advantage of having the hens
come at the top, besides it's betraying
knowledge of correct bed making, is
that the person occupying the bed can
use one or both blankets according to
preference. The upper blanket can be
turned back when nights are too
warm for both to be required and be
ir readiness to be pulled up il the
air gets chilly. SO common sense is
back of this right way of putting
blankets on beds, as it generally is in
all things, when we look into the rea-
sons for following approved ways.
Used Separately.
Many home makers cut pairs of
blankets apart. Then there can be
no uncertainty Of these bed COVERINGS
going on upside down. Also it allows
the blankets to be used separately on
different beds as needed. 1t must be
remembered, however, that when two
blankets are used on a bed they should
be alike il the style Of the blankets
is such that they come in pairs. There
are certain kinds of fancy blankets
that come separately, with each end
bound in satin ribbon or finished in
blanket stitch.
Right Finish.
If pairs of blankets are cut apart
the raw edges should be finished to
accord with the top or finished edges.
- >lAV bAdlihC(S are DOunO, tnen the
binding should be matched and the
cut ends bound as neatly as the ex.
pert work already on the blankets.
If the edge Is blanket stitched, then
this stitchery should be used worked
with worsted matching that on the
blanket. The very name of this
stitchery comes from its use as a
blanket finish. 1t is a type of button.
hole stitch in which the stitches are
separate and of uniform depth as well
as distance apart. AS the strands of
weave in a blanket felt together thev
seldom fray, and so a close stitch is
not needed.
Adapting.
If you cannot find binding silk or
tape to match that on the blankets
separated from each other, the blan.
ket stitch in a medium to match the
binding medium can be used. In this
case, when the two are used together
on bed. the sides that match must
come together either at the head or
foot of the bed.
