HEN, MOSQUITOES
AND MALARIA
HOW DANGEROUS LITTLE PEST
CAUSES MALARIAL FEVER.
Quinine Destroys Germs
Be^t Plan, However, Is to Kill Mosquitoes
at Their Breeding
Places.
Washington, D. C., May 17.?A
man and a mosquito sustain the in
timate relationship of nursing and
nurturing, between them, the little
animal that causes malarial fever.
The man keeps it for a while, nestled
and nourished in the red corpuscles
of his blood. Then he hands it to
the mosquito, who tucks the little
>
one-celled creature snugly away on
the wall of his stomach and nurses
it there for a time. Then the mosquito
passes it back to the man again.
And so on, forever and ever.
Without the man nurse the malaria
germ cannot live, multiply and
replenish the earth. Neither can it
do these things without the mosquito
nurse.. The two must cooperate to
V
keep the malaria germ going.
Malaria Germ Bad Animal.
Now, there is no reason why either
the man or the mosquito should desire
to do this thing. The malaria
germ is a bad animal. It hurts men?
even kills them?and doesn't help
mosquitoes any. Conceivably, both
man and mosquito might wish to b$
rid of it.
If the mosquitoes coifld succeed in
killing all the men, the malaria germ
would die out. On the other hand, if
men could succeed in killing all the
mosquitoes, there would be no more
malaria germs and no more malarial
fever.
And that is the point of "Some.

department of agriculture farmers'
/. . bulletin 450, recently reprinted. The
author is Dr. L. O. Howard, chief of
the bureau of entomology.
Malaria occurs in localities scat
^?c
tered throughout the length and
K\; breadth of the United States whereved
conditions are favorable to the
malarial mosquitoes. It is variously
[f.. known as malarial fever,-'chills and
fever, fever and ague, marsh fever,
intermittent fever, and pernicious
fever. It is caused by parasites which
feed upon the red blood cells. These
parasites are microscopic one-celled
animals called Plasmodia, and are introduced
into the blood through the
proboscis of certain mosquitoes of the
genus Anopheles. Each parasite enters
one of the red blood cells, in
which it lives and gvows. When full
grown, each parasite divides, produc'
ing a number of spores. Each of
these spores leaves the blood cell
that served as its nursery and enters
another one in which it feeds and
grows and in turn, multiplies. Finally,
millions upon millions of them
exist in the blood.
The parasites tend to produce their
spores all at the same time. Millions
of them escape from the blood cells
almost at the same moment. A little
poison escapes from each parasite
with the spores. This little bit of
poison, multiplied by millions, causes
. feyer. After from 6 to 40 hours or
more this poison is eliminated from
the system of the victim, and the fever
leaves him. But pretty shortly another
generation of spores breaks out
and goes hunting for fresh cells,
bringing another attack of fever like
the first. So it goes on for months
or, with some intermissions, possibly
for years.
Much Mooted Question.
! That is what the malarial parasites
do inside the human body. On the
other hand, they get into the mos,
quito's body from the blood of a human
being. You remember the moot
question of which came first, the hen
or the egg? This is another one like
it. Whether the malaria parasite was
first in the mosquito or first in the
man nobody knows. But it passes
from one to the other, back and
forth?not the same individual parasite,
of course, but the same breed
of parasites.
When one of these anopheline mosquitoes
happens to feed on a human
- being whose blood contains malaria
parasites, these are sucked with the
blood into the mosquito s stomach.
" The parasite passes through the
stomach wall and finally attaches itself
to its outer surface.
There it grows and, after a week
under favorable conditions, produces
a large number of spores. These
spores enter the general body cavity
of the mosquito and find their way
into the salivary glands. That mosquito
goes to feed upon a human being
and, with the irritating fluid, injects
the malaria germs into the
. blood of the person. There they multiply,
as before related, and cause
malarial fever. There are some fui'
ther details concerning the sexual

Chicago House Will Seat 5,500,
More Than Xeu York's Hippodrome.
Chicago will soon gain the distinction
of having the largest theater in
the country. Plans are being com
pleted for the erection of a 6-story
building, with a frontage of 225 feet
and a depth of 125 feet, in Cottage
Grove avenue, for theater purpose!
only. The theater will seat nearly
5,500 people, surpassing the seating
space of the Hippodrome in New
York, it is said, and will be erected
by Samuel Katz and Abe J. Balaban,
directors of the Riviera, and Morris
Katz, at a cost of $1,000,000.
Negotiations are being made with
moving picture products to make this
theater the premier presentation
house cf the Middle West. The theater
is to be built along French architectural
lines, with playrooms for
children and women's rest rooms.
The lobby is to be five stories in
height and will be patterned after
the chapel of Versailles, the room
next to the peace conference chamber.
The stage will be as large as
that of the average dramatic theater,
and, according to S. Katz, a scenic artist,
will be employed to paint scenes
for each picture presented. A 50-piece
orchestra will furnish music and a
chorus is to be organized.
It is expected that the theater will
be ready for occupation by next

union of the germs in the stomach of
the mosquito and the development of
sexual forms in the blood of human
beings, but the process of transmission
from mosquito to man and from
man to mosquito is as just stated.
Given one person with malaria germs
in his "blood and a few mosquitoes
to buzz and bite, the disease may be
spread in a short time through an
entire community.
Quinine Compromise.
The way to eliminate malaria, of
course, depends upon the point of
view.. From the standpoint of the
mosquito, as before intimated, it
might appear that the best plan is to
exterminate human beings. From the
human standpoint, the best plan is to
exterminate mosquitoes. As in most
things, however, a compromise is
possible?and the compromise measure
is the one most frequently attempted,
though it is rarely carried
out. That measure is to let both men
and mosquitoes live, but to destroy
all malaria germs with quinine. One
objection to this plan is that the burden
rests too heavily on the man ana
not sufficiently on the mosquito. In
order to make it effective, every human
being with malaria germs in his
blood must take quinine every day,
without fail, for four months.
Any individual may solve the question
for himself simply by refusing
to be bitten by mosquitoes, though
this is extremely troublesome. It
means the thorough screening of
houses and, in summer, of wearing
veils and gloves when out of doors
after sundown?the time when the
malarial-bearing mosquitoes bite. It
is pointed out in the bulletin that
this system was enforced at the stations
on the Italian railroads some
years ago and resulted in a very great
reduction in the malaria rate.
Destruction of the malaria-bearing
mosquitoes, however, is recognized as
much the surest and best way of
stamping out malaria. It has been
practiced with admirable success in
Cuba, Panama, West Africa, Egypt
and portions of India. It is not particularly
difficult. Mosquitoes breed
in water?in pools, springs, watering
troughs, in footprints of cattle in
marshy land, in marshes where fish
are not abundant, in drains and gutters
choked with grass and weeds, in
old boats along waterfronts, in hollows
in rocks, in the backwaters of
even rapid streams, in earthenware

cesspools, in all places carrying water
accumulations, whether pure or foul.
The simplyfying factor, however, is
that they do not fly far. Dr. Howard
thinks it probable that half a mile
is the limit of flight of malarial mosquitoes.
Mosquito destruction at the
breeding places, therefore, is the recognized
best means of ridding the
human race of one of its most persistent
and troublesome infectious
diseases.
How to Accomplish Mosquito Destruction.
The measure for accomplishing
this, including the abolition ol
breeding places, drainage measures
the destruction of larvae by treat
ment of breeding places, and th<
practical use of natural enemies o
mosquitoes are described in a com
panion farmers' bulletin, No. 444.

"I had weak kidneys and pains in

"The pains were there constantly,

irregularly and caused me much annoyance.
I bought a box of Doan's

The above statement was given on

had no trouble with my back or kidneys
since Doan's Kidney Pills cured
