GOVERNMENT SCALE
————————————.————.______ _
Cordova Mill & Lumber Co.
WASHINGTON, May 7. — The pub
lic health service has just begun the
most extensive anti-malaria campaign
ever undertaken in the United States
with a view to protection of the
health of the soldiers in the Southern
cantonments. Congress has authoriz
ed this crusade and provided the
funds and it is expected that $400,
000 will have been spent by Uncle
Sam in this work by July 1, 1919.
This is exclusive of the government’s
part in the cooperative health work
now being carried on in the vicinity
of these cantonments by the public
health service, the American Red
Cross and the local health authori
ties.
Because malaria is conveyed only
by the bite of a certain mosquito
which flies only a short distance from
its breeding place, ihe eradication of
the mosquito will be undertaken in
zones two miles wide around each
jcamp likely to have malaria. Breed
ing and hiding places will he ditched,
drained, and cleared, undrainable still
water in which the mosquitos breed
will be oiled and minnows will be in
stalled to eat the mosquito larvae off
the top of the water. Even dynamite
will be resorted to in this nation-wide
, health campaign, to eliminate dan
gerous breeding places and the work
. supplemented by screening and by
: use of quinine for preventive and
: curative purposes. ;
: cooperation of the state and local
: authorities and of the people in eac'
: place is expected. Posters will be put
: UP in the post offices, railroad sta
tions and other places in the South.
Previous operations of the federal
health service against the mosquitos
have been enthusiastically received
by the people in each place affected,
because of the results in the reduc
tion of malaria and eradication of the
mosquitos. Kor years the public
health service has studied the most
practicable means for preventing ma
laria and demonstrations have been
conducted in many places in the
South.
In the building of the Panama Ca
nal one of the greatest difficulties en
countered was the presence of swarms
of mosquitos, which conveyed yellow
fever and malaria to the workmen.
The engineer largely responsible for
the success in the campaign against
yellow fever mosquitos in the canal
zone will supervise this anti-malaria
campaign and associated with him
will be an officer of the public health
service widely recognized as one of
the foremost authorities in the United
, States on mosquito-borne diseases.
Under them will be experienced offi
cers of that service and sanitary en
gineers. along with a large force of
laborers and large equipment.
Malaria is one of the most serious
diseases in certain sections of the
country. During certain seasons more
than ninety per cent of all calls made
by physicians in many distrcts in
the United States are for malaria. It
is one of the greatest health prob
lems now, not only so far as the sol
diers are concerned but also because
of the necessity to produce a maxi
mum of food and other supplies re
lated to the war. The efficiency of
the laborer in the South, according
to public health service officials, has
been markedly reduced by the di
sease. These experts say that the
anti-malaria campaign will reduce
malaria generally and stimulate simi
lar work by local health authorities.
