losquito Week
b WOODS HUTCHINSON, M. D.
One would have thought that the
ring poets, chanting from time im-
"morial, would have dug up and !
ymed every possible and imaginable!
s'n of spring. But while they fang i
e changes industriously and ad
useam upon the bud and the spud j
d the flower and the shower and
lambkin and the diirklet and the
i?lrt. they, in the vernacular, "oer
kcd one hest bet."
I heir verges are full of the music
the birds from "'Hie. lime of the
iging of birds is lornr" and
lancer's quaint ','smalr foule inak
n melodic.'' Hut they totally fnr

iic equally t harat (eristic and even
ire Mimng and inspiiing, though
a differenj kind of "frenzy," and
t is, the liifrh pitched pipe of the
osquito as he sinus in your ear,
ith apologies to Tennyson;
n the spring the Mar-eyed daisies
Fleck the sisard with gold and
white;
' the spring the wanton skeeter'
W'akes and flies abroad to bite."
Of all spring song thr mosquito'
the greatest and most important
lessage" for us - one which we
gleet at our peril.
I rom a health point of view, we
e about coining to the conclusion :
at the proper study of mankind It
sects, l.'p to a decade or so ago
! regarded them merely as trivial
noyanies, "trifle light a air" to
x ua, very exasperating and trying
times, but to be regarded chiefly
a means of grace for the develop-
erit of patience and other Christian
illicit and unworthy of more than a
ssing moment' thought or atten
in by icrioits-niinded and grown-up
rsoni. Now we have discovered
at they must be counted among the
a'lliest t)d most destructive
iiiiiii Iff
I
'uemies of the huiiian species and
dealt with accordingly.
No oilier single group of agencies,
outside of our own species, mow
through our ranks such a fearful
swath of deaili and destruction of
working power, of suffering and sick
ness and financial loss as the mos
quito with his original package of
malaria and jellow fever, the free
delivery fly with his typhoid and
summer dysentery, the flea with his
bubonic plague, the 'lice with their
spotted typhus fever and the tf.rtsc
fly with his flipping sickness,
Even the bomb dropping rrppelin
and aeroplanes are not to be men
tioned in ihe same breath with the
mosquito and the fly as destroyers of
life and limb. A million lives a year
by malaria and yellow fevers and
another million bv bubonic plague
and sleeping siikness would be a
moderate estimate.
Nor should we console onr'-elves
with the illii'ion that iuscts are
dangerous only in the tropics The
malaria tarrying mosquito ranges
clear up to our northern boundary,
and many a new settlement in our
middle west and northwest hat been
broken up and driven out hy malaria,
just as the earliest Virginia settlers
at Jamestown were,
A famous old pioneer physician of
the middle west used to declare that,
in I, is opinion. Mulligan, Indiana,
Illinois and Iowa cotibj never have
been settled by the while race with
out the aid of quinine!
All through pioneer days and up
to thirty or forty years ago malaria
used to be quite common along the
coast and rivers of New Yoik, New
Jersey, ( ounce ti lit and Southern j
Massachusetts, arnl even in tins day
a fair sprinkling of cases of malaria
drift into our New York hospital
every spring and cummer from Long
Island and the Connecticut and New
JJrsey coasts.
The mosquito is still our enemy
and well deserves a "cleaniii week'
of his own, while the fly, of course,
is always and everywhere with us,
busily spreading disease genus and
other filth by aeroplane parcels post,
and whenever we will we may swat
him good to our own benefit.

matter of such vital importance that
it behooves the woman who would be
well dressed to give a great deal of
time and thought to its choosing.

have been made double with one side
dyed in color to match one' gweattr.
These are blocked so that the top of
the hat is white and the under side
of color or vice versa. Some of these

Every day 1 hear men and women
of middle age. sighing for the lost
illusion of youth.
A the embroidered work of art i

life more beautiful than the illusion
of youth, if we have used care in the

Even if we have married the de
sign, we have the added experience
which youth lacks, and we are pre
pared to do better work on the next
pattern given by the Great Artist.
Too late! There is no such thing
as any knowledge, or success, or hap
piness coming too late.
There is no such thing a time,
save in our own imagination.
It is all eternity. It is a circle
without beginning or end.
Wc have always lived, and will al
ways live. There it no need of let
ting your body, your heart or your
mind wither away because a few
year have gone by, and the tradi
tion of men tells you that youth has
passed.
Keep expectant, keep hopeful, keep
sympathetic and ambitious and be
occupied.
The best of life Is before you
whether here or hereafter doe not j
matter, so long as you lose no hour
of happiness and usefulness by mis
taken ideas gained from mistaken
traditions.
Discard them.
Right about facet March! '
V'ou are on the road to happiness
now. There are goal at every step.
And there are better goal farther on.
Keep marching!

Immortality must be earned. Heav

by the mumbling of formula and ad
herence to traditional creed, not by
long prayer for God to do our work

lie wtih tilove, will, eclf-control,
helpfulness and hope.
These are the qualities which pro

They must not depend upon them.

the Girl
Leads
BY THE JESTER.
It caught my eve the other day,
thi phrase with which I have headed
my article. In these nay I have be
come accustomed to regard it al
most a a platitude. 1 didn't know
that we male things led in sufficient
anything to need emphasizing the
fact that girls lead in one special di
rection. I fancied wr merely fol
lowed nowadays. I believe I think
so still.
Having to fill a column, it is of
rourse no good taking the converse.
"Where girls don't lead" would leave
me staring at a blank writing block
for hours together. No, let (lie title
stand as it is. They often lead me a
devil of a dance, I readily adt.iit. but
'tis a pleasant one (sometimes), and
the "sometimes" makes up for the
others.
The old idea, generally accepted
and I believe originally intended, was
that man led beraiiae he was the
stronger sex. lie was, furthermore,
perfectly prepared to substantiate
the claim if any of his womankind
disputed his rightfor which purpose
he kept hi club handy, and ueer
let his arm weaken from want of
practice.
Followed then the o lo say con
seicntious objectors, who argued
thus:
"We are indisputably the stronger
sex, therefore we will be content,
haviig the strength, not to use it,
merely to talk about it, because we
know we possess it.
.Seeing men waver, girls naturally
leapt at the chance.
"You mustn't hit 1.," said they;
"you must talk to us and coax us,
We're weaker than you are,"
So man started to argue instead,
and he' got the worst of the argu
ment ever since,
Provided she' really pretty, really
dainty and really fascinating, you can
back any girl in the world to twist
the biggest, the strongest, or the
cleverest man, round her little fin
ger in les time than it take to write
thi entence.
What is more, he will back her
lelf to do it. When she fails she
uaually marrie him to get to the
bottom of the puzzle that way. Girls
love noveltie. Having solved the
problem it ceases to interest her.
A certain literary crank, whose
ideas, possibly, had been warped by
bitter home experience, once wrote
in a book dealing with the relations
of the exes:
"Woman should be kept in a hutch
at the bottom of the garden."
Personally, 1 never hold with mere
vulgar abuse, but I think some of us
realize that there i a ubtratuiri of
truth underlying the remark,
I am beginning to realize myself
that girl do lead nowadays in nearly
everything. And what i more, they
lead in most ease in the cleverest of
way, by letting us men believe that
it i we who do to.
Unfortunately, thi new ene of
power ia turning the head of some
of them, may even turn the head of
all. If they are wise I mean really
wise they will realize that however
far a pendlum awing one way, it
muat eventually swing back again.
