distributed so as to flow over the surface of the
water. Covered cess-pools must have perfectly tight covers, and all
openings must be screened.

4. No waste or other water shall be thrown out or allowed to stand on or
near premises.

Information is requested as to the presence of standing water anywhere,
so that the premises may be inspected and the legal remedies against the
same be applied.

The prompt cooeperation of all persons in the enforcement of the above
regulations is earnestly desired, and they are assured that in this way
the breeding of mosquitoes on their premises may be prevented.

Mosquitoes are, so far as known, the only means of conveying malaria.

"RASHES" OF CHILDHOOD

The following table gives all the characteristics of the rashes that
accompany the eruptive fevers. The term "incubation" means the period of
time which elapses between the time when the child was exposed to, or
caught the disease, and the time when the child is taken sick. It is
sometimes interesting to know where a child could have caught a disease;
so if we know the incubation period we can tell exactly where the child
was on the day, or days, when it was infected.
