All that section of North Carolina from Rowan County to the sea is more or less menaced by this easi est of preventable diseases. The degree of danger dependsjBntirely upon the intelligence andvigilancQ of the individual communities in their efforts at prevention. Xow that the heavy summer rains are probably for the most part over, the hot days and nights of the next two months mean that anopheles mosquitoes will breed by the billion. The State Board of Health sug gests that the people in every vil lage, community and small town (and city where there is no live health department), take a day off and see that every ditch, filled-up branch or other place where a mos quito delights to live, is thorough ly drained and all the grass and vegetation cleaned off. If this simple procedure, coupled with the daily small dose of quinine in infected localities, were begun now and repeated a few tiraesun- BAf-TIS til frost, thousands and thousands of dollars could be saved ariii much suffering could be easily prevented, to make no mention of the lives saved , OrcranifcP and fit-Art thfl fiurh . ri crkt now.
