Show TO GET RID OF MOSQUITOES. Amusing Circular Issued by Nmi York Board of Health. The New York board of health has issued a circular in which all cases of malaria are laid to the bite of mosquitoes. mos-quitoes. "Before going to bed,'1 this circular says, "one should kill all the mosquitoes resting on the bedroom walls, In the closets or under articles of furniture." But how? The nights are now short. Possibly an athletic man might run down a mosquito mos-quito and tie the critter till its tongue hangs out and its legs wabble. Then a single well directed blow on the point of the mosquito's jaw would settle its hash. But some of us are not athletes. "The insects already in the room are apt to give the most trouble," the circular says naively. True! Too true! In fact, the mosquitoes which are in the bald-headed man's flat, three flights up, never trouble us in the least. Out of 2,509 murderers of Christians in Turkey last year there were only Gl cases in which the murderers were punished. |
