The decrease in numl>er of old vet '*rans in attendance from year to year is very noticeable—this time only 11 being in line as they marched to the graves of their comrade#,* who are huned at this hollowed spot.

There were others in the low grounds almost as bad off and the people of the town decided that they could not afford such a menace. Dr. Carter told them that in his experience he had found malaria to do more damage to the whole population where it exists than any of the great epidemic dis eases that the layman looks on with such horror—yellow fever, bubonic plague, etc. By public subscriptoin the people raised a fund of $15,000, practically $5 per capita which was duplicated from other sources by the cooperating organizations and the work put under way. A topographical survey of the town and adjacent territory was made and every pool, pond and swamp defined and marked for drainage. Thirty miles of ditches will be required and the work ’ is already well advanced. The United States public health ser- ice. whiclf**upervisea the work, learned much during the war about making* camp sites moaquito free by drainage j and these lessons are bring put into i practice for the benefit wf the civil > population.
