MOSQUITO CONTROL INCREASES
VALUE OF LAND In
MARYLAND

While the primary purpose of
ditching for control Of mosquitoes
is to get rid of pest and nuisance
that Is often an actual menace to
health, the increase in the value of
land for agricultural, industrial and
residential purposes cannot be dis
regarded, according to DR.. Ernest N.
Cory, State Entomologist.
DR.. Cory points out that in those
areas where ditching of salt marshes
for control of mosquitoes has been
maintained consistently, land values
have been known to increase as much
as five times. This Is proved by
the increase In the taxable basis of
lands which were once under the
scourge of the insect, but which have
been since relieved of the major por-
ton of the mosquito menace.
1t is emphasized by the State
Entomologist that while to most peo-
pie the mosquito bite may have no
particular significance beyond the
discomfort attendant upon it, II care
full thought is given to the matter of
mosquito prevalence and bites, 1t will
be seen quite readily that aside from
the discomfort and annoyance the
presence of mosquitoes in any large
number deters people from using a
particular territory for residence or
recreation and so land values are
seriously and appreciably affected.

FARM PRODUCTS PRICES 20 PCT
BELOW PEAKS

Prices of eight major farm COM
modities from which the bulk of
farm income is derived have declined
an average of 20 per cent in Chicago
markets since the recovery peaks
were reached, a survey showed. Their
average level is the lowest since
June. 1886.
Six of the items-hogs, wheat
corn, oats, cotton, and eggs-are
selling well below what they were
bringing a year ago. The prices of
only two-butter and cattle-are
higher.
All, however, are we'll above the
low levels of 1892 and 1893. Cattle,
for example, are more than triple
their low of February, 1888. Hogs
and corn are triple their values of
December, 1892; wheat cotton, eggs,
and oats are practically double the
lows and butter is more than dou-
BILE.
The grains and cotton have lost
the most price ground since their
market peaks were reached during
the last year, the survey showed.
The present price of December corn
il AZ per cent below the top it reach
ed at the close of 1886. Wheat has
declined "a per cent, cotton As per
cent, and oats Al per cent.
fastest estimates released by the
Bureau of Agricultural Economics
indicated farm prices are expected
to average lower in 1898 than In
1887. Crop and livestock marketings
are expected to be larger in the
early months Of next year.

A Few Facts About
Tuberculosis
Buy Christmas Seals And Help In
The Fight Against The Disease

Buy Christmas Seals And Help In
The Fight Against The Disease
The tuberculosis death rate in
Maryland has been reduced from
204.1 per 100000 population to S1.9
per 100, 900 since the Christmas Seal
sales were commenced.
tuberculosis ranks seventh as a
cause of death among all diseases
over the complete span of life.
Tuberculosis Is the greatest cause
of death between the ages of 10 and
As, the most productive period OF
life.
In Maryland last year, 1427 people
died of tuberculosis.
It has been estimated that there
are approximately nine active cases
of tuberculosis in existance for each
annual death.
The tuberculosis death rate among
unskilled laborers is about seven
times as high as that of professional
workers.
More than 10000 people In the
United States died of tuberculosis
last year.
The average cost per case for each
individual afflicted with tuberculosis
is 100000.
The approximate cost Of treatment
of tuberculosis, a preventable dis
ease, to the taxpayers of the nation
for q year is three-quarters of bill
lion dollars.
Money spent on the cure Of tuber-
culosis Is money we'll spent, but we
must also work toward the cradle
ton of it by prevention as we'll as
by cure.
tuberculosis is a preventable dis
ease, as we'll as durable, and the
Christmas Seals make possible a pro-
gram of prevention.
More than forty countries have
held Christmas Seal sales at one time
or another in an attempt to cradle
ate this disease.
The Maryland tuberculosis Asso-
citation Is the Christmas Seal agency
for the state of Maryland. 1t Is
affiliated with the National Tubercur
osis Association.
The Christmas Seal sales were
commenced in Denmark, being a pro-
duct of the mind Of Einar Holboell,
a Danish postal clerk. They were
introduced into this country in 1907
by Miss Emily Bissell of Wilmington,
Delaware.
In order to decrease the ravages OF
tuberculosis the following four
groups of society must be concentrat-
ed upon. They are: men in industry,
young women, colored people of all
ages, and adolescent school children.
Among the activities maitained by
the Maryland Association for work
ing with those groups and others
are: clinics, the Miracle house, teach
ing clincs for colored physicians,
medical research, health education,
and the purchase of diagnostic equip
ment.
1t is more necessary now than ever
before to continue the fight with in
creased vigor. After the many years
Of depression and privation, an in
crease in tuberculosis deaths would
be the result of relaxing our efforts.
BY pursuing this work we will spare
generations of the future much tor
ment and unnecessary loss OF life. AS
Goethe once said, "He who moves
not forward goes backwards.

Always On The Job

An emergency call was received
at the Central archaeological Labor
atory Of the State Department OF
Health, at. midnight, one night last
week, from a physician In Southern
Maryland, for laboratory aid in the
diagnosis Of suspected case of
pneumonia. Members of the patients
family served as the Doctors mes
sengers and brought a specimen of
sputum for examination.
In speaking Of the experience, DR..
r. II. Riley, Director of the State
Department of Health said that some
of the laboratory STAFF are always on
call after the days work is over, for
emergency service. Accordingly, In
less than thirty minutes, the tests
were under way. The verdict was
positive for a certain type of pned-
monia, and a few hours later, the
serum used in combating that part
ocular type of the disease was being
administered.
Service of this sort is available
at the department laboratories scat
tered throughout the State, to physi-
clans practicing in the counties, at
any hour of the night, DR.. Riley
said. The laboratories are so situated
that they form a network covering
the entire State. The Central labora-
tory is located at the headquarters
of the department In Baltimore City
the laboratory for the Eastern Shore
Is at Hurlock, and the other branch
laboratories are at Cumberland,
Hagerstown, Frederick, and Rock
Vile. All are in operation every day
in the year, including Sundays, and
holidays.
During the last four months, from
July to the end of October-over 3d.
900 tests for the presence of disease
producing germs have been made in
the six laboratories on specimens
submitted by physicians, to aid in the
diagnosis of diphtheria, scarlet fever
typhoid, dysentery, undulant fever,
spotted fever, meningitis, pneumon-
ia, and others communicable dis
eases. "These figures, DR.. Riley
said, represent only part of the
work carried on. In addition to the
tests made for physicians Ill private
practice, and for State institutions,
examinations for the presence of dis
ease-bearing germs in water, milk,
oysters and other foods constitute
an important part of the activities
of the laboratories.
physicians who avail themselves
of the service of the bureau of Bac-
teriology either take, or send the
specimens or other material submit
ted for examination to the near
est laboratory Containers for the
specimens, with instructions as to
their use, are supplied to the doctors,
free of charge. A report of the lab
oratory findings is sent to the doctor
by telephone or mail as soon as the
tests are completed. A duplicate copy
of the report is sent at the same
time to the County Health officer.
DR.. C. A. Perry is Chief of the
Bureau.
There are about 500 physicians
practicing in the Counties, and the
number who make use of the labora
tories has increased steadily, year b.
year No charge is made for the ex
aminations. Practicing physicians
in Baltimore are served by the lab
oratories of the Baltimore City De-
partment of Health"
