Why Mosquitoes Bite
Some and Pass Others
By LOGAN CLENDENING, NJ. D.

The reaction of different people
to flea bites varies widely. In the
San Francisco Bay region, which
abounds in fleas, they do not en-
croach on the rights of most of
the local population. but are a
source of great misery to new
corners until they acquire an i'm
munity. This usually takes sew
eral months, and in rare instances
is never acquired.
With insects which poison by
injecting a fluid under the skin,
an extract can be made of the
singing part of the insect-heads
of mosquitoes, tails of bees and
wasps-and a solution of the Of
Tending agent obtained for I'M
munizing purposes.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
VI. L. F.-"I would like infor-
nation concerning tuberculosis of
the bone. l have not been able to
find anything about this particu-
lar form of tuberculosis. Have
there been no studies made of 1t!
Or is it rather unimportant in
comparison to other forms the dis
ease has taken?"
Answer tuberculosis of the
bone has been the subject OF a
great many studies and is very
important subject. Orthopedlc
surgeons deal with it constantly.
It occurs usually in children and
affects most often the bones OF the
spine, of the hip, the knee and the
elbow. 1t may run along for long
time and be called rheumatism
or "growing pains" Treatment is
by rest, immobilization of the part
by braces or casts, and the general
treatment of tuberculosis, Great
success has been obtained by expo
sure to sunlight in high mountain
climates-the method of Roller.
Fl. S. M.-"When one has fever
does sponging off with soda water
do more harm than good?"
Answer-Sponging in high fe-
vers is probably the best method
of treatment that we have. 1t Is
not necessary, however, to use
coda water. Plain, tepid water, of
a temperature of about IS should
he used and during the bath the
Temperature can gradually be re-
duced to IS. The patient should be
sponged one limb at a time, then
the abdomen and chest IN front,
then the back, keeping the rest OF
the body covered. The sponge Da1h
should last about 10 minutes.

"The volumes can stand comparison with the labors
of protest. ona1 writer's In respects than mere
quantity. For few Of Statesmen have produced
papers Of such sustained reliability. It Is not
merely In voice and in manner Of delivery that the
President Is eloquent. He Is master Of brilliant

far az this reviewer has been able to find, has the
President yielded to the temptation to remove any

barrassing In the Light Of subsequent events In
