Marling This Fall.

So, starting thU Is the sen-son when the malaria plfismodld onu be found most, readily in Uio blood of human carriers, county health officers and nurses will go to every rural grammar and take a drop ot blood from the linger of each child. Tills blood will be smeared thick, ly on a glass slide. Blood usually Is drawn out thin for examination under a microscope, but when looking the malaria germs a thick film is bf-st. The blood spot will be dried and stained and examined under the microscope by the technicians Miss Wilcox has trained for the work. When they find malaria that child's name will be noted and ono of the nowly-trolned mosquito experta will go to the child's home and carefully examine the entire neighborhood to find the breeding ol the malaria mosquitoes In that region.

And they will bo led in bsuile by hundreds ot thousands nl little children, In case you think this old dis- tase enemy has lost its grip, consider the estimates of a rmlionnl authority on the subject, Dr. Louis L. Williams, of the U. S. Public Health Service.

Dr. Williams believes that there were 4,000.000 Cases of malaria last summer. That Is 10 times more (han the annual Dumber of cancer cnses, nearly times the number of smallpox cases reported annually. Dr. Williams made It clear that his iigiirp is only nn Mn- lariB cases are not reported with any degree of reported at all, in That is one of the things the four score malaria fighters arc going to battle.

Without knowing how many malaria cases exist, It Is hnrd to lay plans for wiping It out, Mosquito Carries.piularlo. Malaria is eau.ied by a germ called a plasmodlum which, RS many a school cUllci now Knows, is carried by a particular kind of mosquito. The malaria plasmodlum, and there are three different kinds of these germs, must spend part of their lives in the mosquito's body and part in man's body. The mosquito sucks them up with the blood when she bites a malaria patient or carrier and Inter transfers them to another victim of her bite. Knowing this much nnd knowIng: the habits of the malaria mosquito, you would think that the disease could be brought under control, practically eradicated.

Scientist-; think so too, but they have been hampered in putting their knowledge to work, chiefly by Inok and partly by Sack of a unified plan of attack. Social security money made available to state health departments from the federal government is now helping out on the financial angle. The plan of attack has been drawn by health authorities of the federal government and of 13 southern Tennessee, Oklahoma, Kentucky, Arkansas, Mississippi, New Mexico, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina and Louisiana. ThetD are the states where most malaria is iound in this country. Texas has already started its own campaign along the same lines as the other states have Just adopted.

First step was the training of captains and their aides for the flght. This was done in a special school, the first school for malarioi- oglsts ever conducted In this country. Dr. Williams occupied the post of principal and the faculty was S. H-llli the ilroj) of lilood 111 umUir a cover to protect It from clust and allowed lo dry.

But school is Just starting for thousands of grammar school children In the rural districts of the south and this fact provides the nritl- malarla warriors with a chanco! to fire their opening guns. These little school children will lend the fighters to the strongholds of the molarln mosquitoes. Muni Kind Strongholds. Finding thcsa strongholds Is tho first nnd most Important Job for tho anti-matarla fighters.

Health authorities know that malaria Is found chiefly In rural and small villages. They know also that there may be much malaria In tills county, none in that one, Dr. Williams explained, pointing to one of his maps. But malaria Is not "spread out evenly over a county liko butter on HMUOM RID IS AiAIN Shows 2:30, 7:00, 9:00 Children ZOo LYRIC Theatre TONtTfi "BORN TO FIGHT" with Fra.iklF narro A Jirk La KXTKA Joe Louis and Tommy Farr riOJIT PICTURE ASK About the picture that is the talk of all Emporia!

With this Information, the county and state health officers caniglt down and plan their budgets to get the best possible control over the old chills and fever plague. It will be the first time auch unified malaria control plans can be carried out and, In Dr. Williams' opinion, will In a short time reduce the amount of malaria In each state "For years I've eaten QUAKER OATS' the "BIG TEN" Commutioner of JOHN L.
