FEARS INVASION
BY MOTQUITOES
ASKS COOPERATION IN DESTROYING
BREEDING PLACES.
Rains Fill Tin Cans
Weeds Conceal Bottles and Jugs Full
of Rain Water and Give Insects
Opportunity to Breed.
Columbia, July 27.?Culex and
anonheles. which are pet names ap
plied by scientists to two varieties of
mosquitoes, promise to make trouble
during the next few days unless
citizens take measures to prevent
their breeding, says Dr. C. E.
Smith, city health officer.
The rains have caused the weeds
to grow up like Jonah's gourd, and
many a back yard is a feeble imitation
of "No Man's Land," with jimpson
and rag weeds flourishing like
the bay tree. Dr. Smith says that
tney may devour, i ne time rrom tne
laying of the egg to the emergence
of the full grown mosquito varies
somewhat according to the temperature
of the water. The mosquitoes
may emerge within as short a period
as nine days after the deposit by the
female, though usually a longer time
is required for development.
V
The female mosquito lives largely
on blood, while the male subsists on
vegetation. The weeds provide excellent
feeding and hiding places for
the mosquitoes, but they do not breed
in the weeds, unless pools of water
are present. By cutting down weeds
hiding places are destroyed and the
mosquito is deprived of a place of
concealment.
Dr. Smith anticipates that the insects
will be disagreeable for a short
time, unless householders use every
precatuion to see that standing water
about the premises is emptied.
Weeds should be cut down in back
yards and efforts made to clear away
rubbish of all kinds so that pools of
viater may evaporate before the eggs
have opportunity to hatch.

Natural Deductions.
"Can you tell .me what the ruler of
Russia was called?" asked the teacher.
"The Czar," roared the class.
i
"And what was the Czar's wife
known as?"
Only two voices answered* this
time:
"The Czarina."
"Ah! said the teacher, eyeing his
flock fondly. "This is very good.
Now, who will tell me what the
Czar's children were called?"
"Czardines!" yelled one little boy.
?
Geographical.
"Papa, where is Atoms?"
"Atoms? I don't know,, my boy.
You mean Athens probably."
"No, I mean Atoms?the place
where everything is blown to."?Awgwan.
' the weeds likely conceal many empty
cans, bottles, and jugs. Garbage collectors
will hardly be able to discover
these cans and the abundant
rains have filled many of them to the
brim. In the shadow of the weeds,
the water in these receptacles will
vaporate slowly, and the female mosquitoes
could ask no better shelter
for their eggs than a hidden tomato
can half full of rain water. It is up
to the housekeeper to empty these
cans and bottles and put them in the
trash box where the garbage man can
find them and cart them off. Otherwise,
mosquitoes will breed in them
and make trouble for neighbors.
The recent rains, Dr. Smith said
, , yesterday, have washed out many
holes in yards, in the streets and in
ditches. These pot holes are full of
water and many of them are hidden
by grass and make ideal places for
the culex and the anopheles to deposit
their eggs.
Houses with flat tin roofs often
hold rain water. Puddles on roofs
are not held in contempt by lady
mosquitoes who deposit eggs without
much regard to elevation.
* Dr. Smith said yesterday that
leaves from trees falling in ditches
and thence being carried into cul
verts sometimes collect and hold water.
Dams are also formed in open
ditches by leaves and debris, and the
high percentage of humidity which
has obtained during the past ten days
has prevented much evaporation, so
that the puddles are now warming in
the sunlight.
With all these factors in their favor,
Dr. Smith expects the mosquitoes .
- to breed with considerable rapidity,
and he hopes that the householders
will cooperate with the health department
in eliminating prospective
mosquito nurseries.
The female mosquito deposits eggs
in water, and in about two days the
eggs hatch wiggle tails, later developing
into mosquitoes and, flying from
their breeding places, seek whom

Kidney Pills.
Here is Bamberg proof of their
merit
L. B. Fowler, contractor and builder,
Church St., saya: "I have found
Doan's Kidney Pills to be a mighty
fine kidney and bladder medicine and
have told a great many people to
try them. Some eight years ago 1
was in awful shape with my kidneys.
The action of these organs was scanty
and weak and the secretions un- j
natural and higMy colored. Nights
I had to get up several times and
mornings I felt all tired out and weak.
My sleep didn't seem to refresh me
any. I was in a bad shape. My
back was as stiff as leather and eo
lame that I couldn't bend oyer. My
kidneys hurt all the ttme and were
in an awful poor condition. I started
to take Doan's Kidney Pills and they
were what my kidneys needed, for
they rid me of all this trouble and
fixed me up In A-l shape again."
