It is within our power to lessen materially the discomfort and disease spread by the mosquito. First the participation <?1 every man, woman and child of ua, and second, X proper Uhderstapdlng of the life history of the mosquito, and the proper methods for their systematic, destruction. The chief important fact about mosquitoes is this. Without the existence of standing water their breed4 ing is infbposeWc; furthermore they require at least ten days in such water for development, so that ample time is always ours after rains to locale all possible breeding places and do away with them by draining, Ailing or covering with oil. The eggs require immersion in water for their inctfba/tion. The larval and pupal fortps also must live in water in order to develop to the adult stage. It is ?this peculiarity of which we should take advantage, for by removing all pools and collections of standing water, we prevent the incubation of eggs and the development of larvae or wrigglers. The female mosquito lays from fifty to two hundred eggs in -water, the eggs are laid singly or in masses. The larvae escapes from under the sides of the eggs in from ten hours to two or three days. The larvae are air breathers, they remain at the surface of the water or return to it from -time to time to take in air. Since th* process " of development takes place in .water the preferred ; mothod ietf p'reveiftlon Is obvious. Co not allow collections of water to remain as long as ten days. Mosquitoes have the habit of hibernation, remaining in a torpid, state for indefinite periods during cold weather; The anopheles or malaria mosquito hibernates in adult form preferring dark closets, the under sides of shelves in attics and pantries, under culverts, bridges, stairways, in out houses, etc. The larvae and papae feed on an animal matter suspended in the water *in which they develop. The adult mosquito lives on plant juices, the honey of flowers and fruit juices, but the male will live indefinitely on water alone, and does not bite or care for Warm blood, yfherpas the female is constantly seeking aj meal of blood from some warm blooded animal or person and often will not lay her eggs without first having this meal. Under normal summer conditions, the life of the adydt mosquito is short, and dependent mainly op the opportunity for propagation. Several broods a season may be'produced by a, single female. Mosquitoes do not fly threat distances, generally speaking they are found only within a shorj distance of .their breeding place, but they nrfy* travel some distance when aided by'winds. Their vertical range is also limited, the l&er atories of houses are usually more thickly inferfted than the upper stories. That mosquitoes spread disease . had been suspected for some time, even as f*r back as the time of the earliest medical writers, this has (been proved definitely in the case of. malarial and yellow fever. There .J* today no other belief tenable concerning the transmission of malarial fever. It is a fact that malaria cannot be*-transmitted from one person to another ekeept by the Anopheles most qulto. II we could exterminate this one mosquito it would entirely, abolish malaria, and since the measures directed against Anopheles will 4,??troy all other forms, the relief from annoyance will be vastly gratifying. The germ or parasite can enter the body only by the bite of an Anopheles. mosquito, which must previously have nui lied up the genu along with blond from some oth$r person having malaria of several days duration. The mosquito is harmless unless it has previously bitten a malaria - infected individual. These facts have been proven by the experiments of scientists time after time. Furthermore, ^iHws^aver b^h that the disease can be acquired or transmitted in. any other way, although pinstaking efforts have been made by drinking swamp water, breathing bad air, etc. The only way to fight the mosquito if v to destroy his place and opportunity for breeding, the main Object fa the removal of all collections of standing water within a week after their formation. All drains and ditches should be kept clean and given sufficient fall tajCMty off water. Each and every place that can't be drained should be treated with oil.
