UNCLE SAM MEETING MALARIA PROBLEM Iniection Rate in gouth About Four Per Cent. of Inhabitants { mosquitoes. Washington, Feb. 14.—Four per cent. of the inhabitants of certain sec- tions of the south have malaria. This estimate, based on the reporting of 204,881 cases during 1914, has led tho United States public health sefvice to give attention to the laria to the increased ma- problem, according an- | | nual report of the Surgeon General. Of 13,526 blood specimens examined by | government officers during the vear, | 1,797 showed malarial infection. The infection rate among white persons was above cight per cent, and amons colored persons twenty per cent. In two countries in the Yazoo valley, 40 out of every 100 inhabitants present- ed evidence of the disease. Striking as the above figures are they are no more remarkable than those relating to the reduction in th: incidence of the discase following sur- veys of the public L~alth service at 34 places in nearly cvery state of the south.
