Extermfnating Rats.

Japan has gone to work with much deter
mination to check the bubonic plague by
killing the rats which spread It. recent
number Of the Japan times says that the
rats, dead and living, that were bought by
the authorities In Toxic on one day num-
bered 128,632. 1t would be good plan in
all countries which are subject to the
plague to put a liberal standing bounty on
rats and exterminate them as far as posi-
BILE. The need Is fully as great In such
places as 1t used to be In America for O
bounty on wolf scalps.

The Influenza.


It Is very well known that the influenza
is not an exclusively modern complaint, but
l am not sure whether a curious reference
to 1t by Bower. the continuator Of Fordun's
chronicle has been noted. Writing of the
year 1920. he says that among those who
died in Scotland that year were Sir Henry
st. Clair, earl Of Orkney; Sir James Doug
las Of Dalkeith, Sir, William D. Abernethy.
Sir William st. Clair. Sir William Cockburn
and many others, all by that fnfirnity
whereby not only great men, but innumer-
able quantity Of the commonalty persisted,
which was vulgaribus termed lie Quhew Gle
Quhew a vulgaribus dicebaturJ' Blower,
XIV. 32). Now, 'quh" In Scottish texts
usually represents the sound Of "wh"
(properly aspirated); therefore 1t seems
that in the fifteenth century the Influenza
was known as the Whew.'' just as it is
known In the twentieth century as ''the
Flue." I have refrained from quoting at
length Bowers explanation Of the cause
OF the epidemic. but there seems little doubt
that the disease was Identical with that
with which we are SO grievously familiar.

TITUsAMEhDmENT KNOCKED OUT

The Supreme Court on last Friday
morning handed down Its opinion in
the celebrated Titus Amendment case,
holding without dissenting voice, tina,
the failure to hsye the amendment SET
on In full in the journal Of the house in
vslidltes the entire amendment and
rendesit null and void. This being
the: case the court did not find it nee
essary. to rule on the question of ex.
tending the terms Of any Of the state
and county officers. Therefore the Off
gers Who were elected at the election Of
1900 will take the Offices to which they
were elected.
Thescpurt's decision means the death
blow to biennial elections, as the ,ques-
tion can not again be submitted to the
people until 1904, and it is doubtful il
lis submitted again.
In view Of the muddle which the Titus
amendment has caused the electors q
the state we believe, would defeat an.
other amendment by an overwhelming
vote.
The decision means that an election
will be held as usual this fall, and al
read y there has started big scramble
for the nominations for state officers.
There is SO much opposition to Gov.
ernor Shaw fora third term that i, il
mot probable be will be candidate.

The Best Treatment.

The grip has SURPRISED the doctors
and health authorities this season by
it's rapid spread and by some novel
symptoms. While it spares nobody it
is proving especially dangerous to mid.

cases eithersa fatal onset Of pneumonia,
or complete breakdown of health and
strength, is apt to follow an attack Of
grip.
The wise course for all is prevention.
By wearing. a .Benson's Porous Plaster
on the chest and back you protect the
lungs from cold and chill and with

CORN is KING.

/. The crop Of corn IN Iowa this year il
305, ,859 94S bushels. illinois is the Sec
ond state in the union for the produc-
ton of corn-Iowa standing first-but
its crop this year fell Al 900 900 bushels
less. Kansas had ,0OO-46, ,5ls m ,re
acres of corn planted than Iowa, but it
yielded 90, 600, 600 bushels less. Kansas
had 756 900 more acres than Iowa, but
its crop yielded l42 600, 900 bushels less.
Compare the corn crop Of Iowa with
that of the states in the east. Maine,
Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecti.
cut, Vermont and New Hampshire-the
New England States produced .00O. 900
bushels, and, no doubt, thought they
were doing right smart in the produc-
tiou of corn, but that would look to an
Iowa man as if he were raising corn for
the purpose Of passing away the time
and just to keep his hand in. In the
whole country there were raised 2,lO5,-
102, ,4l6 bushels, and about one-seventh
of that amount was raised in Iowa. A
million is not easily counted; million
bushels of corn or Of anything else is
not readily comprehended. This will
be largely converted into animal food
and sent into the markets of the world.
T In the matter of other grains Iowa
produces nearly as much wheat as Tex
as, but Texas is FIVE times larger that
Iowa. 1t produces nearly as great a
quantity Of oats as Illinois and holds
its own in that respect with the other
states. If we combine the products OF
corn, oats and wheat, it will be found
that this state stands at the head Of tie
list.
We have no very large cities and cor
sequently no very great amount of
crime, but we have the finest farms, the
finest stock, the finest educational facili-
ties and the finest prospects in the way
of a peaceful, happy life Of any state in
the union.

Baltimore's High Death Rate.


The death record of Baltimore that has
held good in the memory of the very Oldest
inhabitant of the city was broken last week
and the seven days just passed stand as
the most terrible in the history of Balti-
more. The total number Of deaths was 451
of which large percentage Is traceable d.
rectly to the awful heat. Seventy-eieht
died from sunstroke and heat prostration.
Heart trouble. superinduced by the heat.
Killed Is. and 134 children died from infan-
tile diarrhoea, disease largely made fatal
by the heat.
Three-quarters of the whole number of
deaths We're among the very young or the
very old, these having the least power of
resistance to the deadly effect of the hot
wave Young babies and aged men and
Women. whose lives under normal condi-
tions might have been preserved, sue
cumbed by the score. One hundred and
ninety children under one year old died
during the week. this number alone being
only five less than the complete record for
the preceding week. The death rate under
these circumstances ascended like a rocket
and reached the alarming figure 1895 for
the whole population. The record is all
the more remarkable because OF the ex-
tremely low rate of the week before, when
there were but 195 deaths reported. -s..s
