These insects breed by preference in stable man- ure, but when this not not casily ac- | cessible, they ' wiil breed also in | garbage and other filth. With cleaner garbage cans, the breeding places of files will be limited and their agency in carrying typhoid fever and other’| bacilli to food of human beings will | be largely removed. Meanwhile the screening of windows is not a luxury, but is as necessary as the roof on the house. Should Be Vaccinated. Persons going to unfamiliar locali- ties where they will be subject to the danger of typhoid infection should protect themselves by anti-ty- phoid vaccination. This in healthy persons is a harmless procedure, and confers almost absolute immunity against infection lasting for at least three years. Its efficlency has again been demonstrated in the present Eu- ropean war, as well as during the re- cent occupancy in Vera Cruz by the United States troops.” 5 Destroy Pools. * i In regard to mosquitoes Dr. Town- ' sesd said it should not be forgotten that most of our city mosquitoes breed | in the locality in which they are ' found. Wet grass will attrack the , insects but it js not a breeding place, i They prefer small pools of water, such as rain water collected in broken ves- | sels, tin cags, rain barreis, broken | bottles and pools on badly sagged | roofs The state’s mortality list for April numbered 1,720 which was 82 less than in March and 70 more than in | April of last year.
