Fact. And it is a fact to be proud of, a act t hat-proves whatean- be done by systematic work, About tins time two years ago a census was taken of Last Lumberton and it was found that 43 ner cent of the children had had chills and fever malaria, during the year; last year the per cent came down to 11; and a census taken Friday of last week revealed the gratifying fact that during the past year not a single case of malaria has been known among the boys and girls of t.1 a T . 1. t T.n 4-1. East Lumberton. Practically the same record has been made in Lum berton proper, and at the other mill villages near town. Two years ago in the Lumberton graded school the per cent was 33; last year it was ten; this year it is nothing. Drain.Krp nd removal of tin cans. srropnn on .lnora and windows and quinine: these three have turned the trick, have changed the scale for better and .made -people efficient where before they were half alive and very . inefficient and the great est of these is quinine. It ha3 been f.-rnislied free bv the Lumberton cot . ton mills and that has nroven a wise investment for them. The National That the same treatment will not oil, if further proof at this late, day were necessary, by the exerience in East Lumberton. As stated above, malaria has been stamped out, while berton there were more cases of ty- phoid fever than had been known in three years. This is further proof of the fact that one is a mosquito born disease and the other a fly born and filth disease. Sanitary con ditions so far as typhoid is concern ed were rather neglected with the suit that there was something of there being -m-that-section-as-m-anv cases as vhe entire county combined.
