MALARIAL PARASITES IN MAN
When a mosquito injects malarial
parasites into a man’s blood, what be¬
comes of them?
The parasites which she injects enter
the red blood cells. They are then ex¬
tremely small. They grow by feeding
on the blood cells and get bigger and
bigger.. Then their edges become scal¬
loped. Then they divide into a number
of wedge-shaped pieces, meeting in the
middle something like the slices of a
pie. Then the blood cells break up and
set the young parasites free' and each
one of them starts off as a new para¬
site on its own account, and tries to
enter another red blood cell and repeat
the process of Us mother parasite.
Into how many parts does a para¬
site divide?
into from 8 to as many as 24 or 32,
according to the kind, so they may
increase very rapidly.
Are there different kinds of para¬
sites?
Yes, there are at least three kinds,
each %f which produces a different
form of malarial fever.
How long does it take from the time
the parasite enters a red blood cell
until it divides into daughter parasites?
It depends on the kind of parasite.
One kind, the tertian, takes about 48
hours, or two days. Another, the quar¬
tan, takes 72 hours, or throe days. A
third, the estivo-autumnal, from about
24 to 48 hours. This last form is much
less regular in its time than the other
two, Indeed two different forms may he
included under this name. It produces
the worst kind of malarial fever.
What causes the chill and fever of
the man with malaria?
When the infected red blood cells
break up they liberate not only the
bunch of daughter pa.rasit.es, but a
small amount of poison which the par¬
asites have formed, and when a large
number of them do this at the same
time, this causes the chill and fever of
the sick man, which occur just after
the cells break down. It has been esti¬
mated that at least 150,000,000 of par¬
asites must divide at the same time to
liberate enough poison to produce a
chill, and generally many times more
than this.
I
Do all the parasites in the red blood
cells divide into others, as you have
described?
No. Besides the sexless form which
divides to produce chills, there are two
other forms of malarial parasites in the
blood cells. These are the male and fe¬
male forms' of the parasites. These do
not seem to affect the health of the
man in whose blood they exist, but it
is by means of these that the mos¬
quito becomes infected when she
sucks them up.
How does the mosquito become in¬
fected with malarial parasites?
By biting a man who has these male
and female parasites in hi sblood. If
she sucks up both kinds, male and fe¬
male, she may become infected.
What takes place then?
If the mosquito sucks up only the
sexless parasites with the blood she
will not become infected, no matter
how many she takes. If, however, the
proper kind of mosquito takes up the
male and female forms of the parasite,
they join together in her stomach and
pass into her stomach wall, where they
grow. After some time the bodies thus
formed break and set free many young
parasites, some of which finally find
their way to the mouth of the mos¬
quito. There the parasites are mixed
with her saliva, and are injected Into
a man when she bites him; then they
enter the blood cells and start their life
all over again.
How long does this "change take?
Usually about 11 days in the summer.
It takes longer in cool weather than
in hot.
Is the mosquito dangerous to man
until this change is completed?
No. Until the parasites reach her sa¬
liva the mosquito can not inject them
into the person she bites. She is not
dangerous, even if she has bitten a man
with malarial fever, until the time nec¬
essary for this to happen has passed.
Do parasites growing in a mosquito
make her sick, as they do a man in
whom they grow?
No. The mosquito seems to be as
well as ever.
DEATH RATE LOW~
AT STATE SANITARIUM
Milledgeville. Oct. 20.—Through mod¬
ern sanitation the death rate at the
State Sanitarium for the Insane has
been reduced to about 20 a month, it
was announced here today at the close
of the annual meeting of the board of
trustees. Five years ago, it is said, the
death rate was from fifty to eighty a
month.
All of the old officers were re-elected,
and eight nurses were graduated.
The board decided to name a new
nurses’ dormitory in honor of Presi¬
dent John Brantley, for twenty years a
member erf the board. The new build¬
ing is nearing completion and will give
300 additional rooms for the care of
patients, as the nurses are now occu¬
pying rooms in the main building, and
this space will be made available for
patients.

“He didn’t know whet it was *.i )

An Optimist.
“I’m sorry to see you here,” said the

“Oh, there isn’t much change, after

“No?”
“You see, I had been shut up In a

years before I came here. These bars
are just a little thicker, and instead
of being brass they are steel.”
Tact.
“Pa, what is tact?”
“I’ll give you an illustration, son.”
“Yes, pa.”
“Tact is what prevents a gray-haired
man with a wrinkled face from re
minding a youthful looking woman in
a knee-length skirt that they were boy
and girl together.”
An Unfortunate Mistake.
A Dublin magistrate asked a prison*

GOOD HAY WHEN YOU NEED IT
Would a good putting of hay, about
a ton or more per acre, about April 15,
be of any help to you? How about an¬
other the first of June? Wouldn’t these
cuttings come in pretty good time to
help you finish working the cotton and
corn crops? And then on top of that,
how would you like to have two addi
tional cuttings off the same field—one
in July and one early in September?
Wouldn’t these cuttings help mightily
in carrying the stock through the next
winter in good condition for spring
work?
Alfalfa is the crop that will do this
for you. It’s these four and sometimes
five cuttings, some of them coming
when hay is badly needed, that lead
good farmers into taking the trouble
to assure a successful stand of alfalfa.
Bear in mind the few T simple require
inents. It must have well-drained land,
reasonably fertile. It will do better if
the land is limed. An application of
200 to 600,pounds of acid phosphate per
acre is important. Inoculation must be
provided unless the land has previously
grown alfalfa, sweet clover, bur clover,
button clover, or black medic. It must
be sowed on a seedbed that is firm, not
hard, and well pulverized on the sur¬
face. These requirements can be met
fairly easily by the careful farmer.
Sow during the first good season in
September, or wait until spring and
sow during good weather in March.
Twenty pounds of seed per acre usu¬
ally gives a good stand. Don’t cover the
seed deep.—Progressive Farmer.
YOUR JOB
Blessed is the man who has a job
and loves it. Everybody ought to have
job. And if you love your job, you
will make a success of it. If you do not
love your job, get one that you do
love. If you cannot get the job that
you want right now, stick to the one
you have and do your best at it until
you can get wffiat you want. You will
never get what you w r ant by laying
down on your present job. What this
world needs today is men and women
who love their jobs and earn every
dollar they receive in wages. Your suc¬
cess depends upon the succes of your
employer, and it’s up to you to help
to make his business a success. You
will profit by it. Magnify your job;
make a big thing out of it; do it better
than anybody else. You will soon have
a bigger job. Instead of being a job
hunter, jobs will hunt you. This spirit
will bring yoq success in life.—Win¬
der News.
