T&n conrpberate this for a fact, for
some pighta after \ unpacked my

had grows familiar during ? those
last weeks of my sojourn in the land
of flowers and I killed severe|.
More than one or two of our citi

The life of the individual mos

this nuisance must be combattod
Its source. , j
: .It is a. much easier task ?'tp get
rid 6f the mosquito than the fly.
If the town and the' private citizera
co-operate, the. mosquito, is not dif
ficult of extermination. ? I
Nothing capable of holding. Wateir
should be allowed to' be 'about the
premises. Chifckens drinking parts
and flower pot' saycefs should be
emptied daily. ; Flower vases antl
bedroom pitchers should be, emptied
at leant fbnwj a week ^before being

kerosene every ten days so long of

If every householder will observe
tho? simple . rules and r citizens
report to our mayor', or one of the
ald$rtpen,- the whereabouts of any
pond which could be a breeding

quantity of kerosene is applied to
