INTERNATIONAL WAR ON MOS
QUITOS.
BY B. Bradfeld, Geneva,
Switzerland.

Malaria is a tremendous obstacle
to progress. Some people think
that it was the cause of the downfall
of the Roman Empire. Nations
which suffer from malaria find their
people have reduced efficiency.
Production is curtailed. Poverty is
prevalent.
The government of India has
warmly invited the Malaria Com
mission of the League of Nations to
pay a visit to that country as soon
Is possible A fight with the mos
quito is now going forward and
India sees the immense value of in.
viting the attacking forces into he
vast territory.
This warfare is conducted on ex
tremely scientific lines. Courses in
prevention of malaria have been
held this year in Hamburg and in
Paris, attended by students from
Asia, Central and South America
and Europe, including Russia. a
new school has or'ened in Rome with
special arrangements for engineers
to study drainage.
Up till now half-a-dozen lines of

Christmas, the day of days,
is upon us once more.
OF all the radiant days of the
year, there are none whose
light has shone so far.
For two thousand years has
it shone with brightness, and it's
radiance is undimmed.
The Christmastide reigns
throughout the Christian world,
bringing with it wealth of
kindly thoughts, prompting re-
membranes to kindred, friend,
mayhap almost forgotten.
And this universal custom of
giving, even though it be but a
card, makes us all kindred at
Christmas time. 1t brings joy
to those who give and happi-
ness to those to whom given.
Would that it's spirit might
last throughout the year. The
spirit that brightens the home,
hangs high the star of hope, re-
veals the nobler side of man.
1t is, in truth, one of the finest
assets of civilization.
Other days we have that are
dear to the heart, but Christ
mas is little dearer to the
heart of the grown-up, and in
finitely dearer to the heart OF
the children. The light OF
Christmas shines for them all
the year around. They bark
back to the joys of it, and look
forward to it in the mystic
future.
Christmas is the day of days
to all humanity.
May your Christmas be full
of joy and happiness, is our
wish, and may it's good cheer go
with you through the year.

CHRISTMAS GREENS

The custom of hanging evergreens
in the house during the yuletide
originally had purpose beyond that
of decoration. In olden days each
kind of evergreen was believed to
confer special blessings on those
who passed beneath its boughs. TO
pass under holly insured good fort
une throughout the year. bay meant
victory, while laurel was supposed
to impart spirit of beauty and
poetry.

looked out at the street.
He saw boy who might have been
sixteen or seventeen, though small for
those years. His suit proclaimed it's
own threadbareness, as well as the
boys thinness, by the way it chung to
him. He tried to pull his ragged cap
down over ears that were flaming
with cold, and Joseph thought he
shrank from putting the worn soles
of his shoes against the freeZing-cold
pavement. But as the boy came oppo-
site the florists window he sheered
inward on the sidewalk to look at the
display of those wares that only peo-
pie who have satisfied their needs in
food and clothes can afford to buy.
Joseph noted with pity the pinched
features, the look of grim control in
the face of one so young. 1t was the
great basket Of pink roses that held
his attention. Joseph expected to see
him turn away with the look of resig-
nation many more prosperous seeming
people have when they must pass the
temptation of flowers. To his sur
prise the lad, seeming to settle the
worn coat little more closely on his
shoulders, entered the shop brislSly.
Just inside the door he shivered with
delight in the warmth. Joseph saw he
had sandy hair and eyes of Irish blue.
'4t's freezing he is, the poor boy"
Joseph murmured to Katie, "and sure
the shop looked friendly.
"And would you like to lock at the
flowers. young sir?" he bowed to the
unpromising customer. you're well

Katie, suddenly appealed to for con-

but there was an expansive smile of
approval with it,
"Your mother might as well sew In

there's fine high school where they
