particularly applicable in remote

Under this plan, the Office of

AUSTIN, Texas, Maft:h -2.—De-
claring that malaria bids fair to
be one of the country's major
health problems under war con-
ditions, Dr. Geo. W. Cox, State
Health Officer, has issued ah
urgent request for all Texans
to cooperate in the destruction of
possible mosquito breeding
places.
“It is inevitable that malaria
will continue to come Jnto this
country with the return of our .
veterans from the tropics," Dr |
Cox said. “Since malaria is j
spread from person to person by *
the Anopholes mosquito, it is
a matter of grave importance
tKat these mosquitoes be 'exter-
minated. The quickest way to do .
that is to provide them no place
to breed and multiply ’’
Dr. Cox pointed out that while
the State Health Department is
carrying on an extensive malaria
control program which is design-
ed to fill in or drain swamps,
ponds, and ditches, neverehtless
every citiden is responsible for
seeing that his own premises are
free from sthagnant water.
“Every bottle, can, or possible
water container in every back-
yard should be either destroyed
or punctured so that they will
not hold water," Dr. Cox said.
/Otherwise, spring rains will fill
them up, and the deadly Anoph-
les mosquito will find an excel-
lent breeding ground.”
Dr. Cox said that the suppres-
sion of the disease is of unusual
importance since quinine, the
specific treatment for malaria, is
exteremely scarce for civilian
use.
