fish, which devour the mosquito wig-
j glers. While mosquitoes breed to
water, they shelter themselves to
. brush and high weeds, especially dur-
1 lng tbe day when the sun ia up. U
is therefore a good plan to cat down
all such weeds, especially in tbe vi-
cinity of houses, so that tbe mosqui-
toes cannot find shelter nearby. It
is a wise precaution in districts In
which the Anopheles mosquito
found, for persons as far as possible
to remain alter dusk to place, which
are properly screened. A good screen
should have a mesh of 14 or 14 wires
to the inch, painted over to lenaen the
size of tbe holes In addition to
screens for the house, sometime, it ia
neoewary to use mosquito
which are limply pieces of fine mesh-
ed materal. placed over ihe bed to
such a manner as to protect the sleep-
er. Spirits of camphor, oil of pepper-
mint and oil of pennyroyal rubbed
the face or hands or a few drops on
the pillow at night will help to keep-
ing away mosquitoes, although this
effect will not endure tho entire
nigbt. Oil of citronella Is e-ren bet-
ter for this purpose A mixture
hich has been recommended as prac-
tical and effective consists of one
onuce of oil of citronella, one ounce
of spirits of campbor and half an
ounce of oil cedar.
In communities where malaria 1*
abundant and where it is difficult, if
not Impossible, to protect one's self
from being bitten, healthy person,
can to a large extent protect them-
selves by using quinine If quinine i.
taken in small doses during the ma-
laria season, it will generally prove
effective to averting disease Four
or five grains a day ordinarily i.
enough to protect, it is best taken
after meal., if in a single dose, oth-
erwise In divided ones In some
places it is customary to take eight
grains twice a week or even ervery
five days, but it has generally been
found that better result, can be ob-
tained from smaller amounts taken
dally Children should be given about
half a. much as grown persons, and
less for small children.
