There are over forty species of mos-
quitoes in this part of the country. and
they have habits as Well defined as
those of different kinds of birds or
other animals. It is convenient, how-
ever, to group them into three large
classes: 1, the swamp and woods mos-
quitoes; 2, those of the salt marshes,
and 3, the domestic or rain barrel
mosquitoes.
The Swamp and W ds Mosquitoes:
These mosquitoes ma :e their appear-

The first eggs to hatch .

Td' Get Rid of Mosquitoes.
Don’t waste time swatting mosqui-

SONAR LAW‘S ADDRESS.
Ameliorative Treatment for Prison-

LONDON, April 14.-——Andrew Bonar
Law, the government spokesman,
said in the House of Commons today ‘
- that the irish government had decid-s
ed to treat those prisoners in Mount-i
joy prison who were arrested on sus-I'
picion by competent military author-
ity differently from other classes of
prisoners, and they would receive
ameliorative treatment.
Most of the morning newspapers do
not comment on Andrew Bonar Law's
address in which he announced the
government's decision relative to the
Hunger strike of Irish political pris-
oners held in Mountjoy jail in Dub-

How Mosquitoes Breed.
Mosquitoes breed only in water.
They do not breed in the grass, or in
shrubs or bushes, but rank growths of
grass, or weeds or shrubs may con-
ceal small breeding places. Moro-

and other shady plpces to rest during
the day and to escape the hot rays of
