The houses from which the infected
rats came were treated just as were
those where the disease attacked hui
man occupants. During one month,
according to Dean A. G. Worcester's
report, $3.50 traps were set and 4O3,-

catching squad. Many houses which
were hopelessly unsanitary were burn
ed during the plague clean up and the
cholera scare which followed it. In
each case the owner was remunerated.
Many of the market places were aban-
doned by order of the authorities un-
tx they could be rebuilt.
AS a result the spread Of both cpl.
denies was prevented and the general
health greatly improved. The natives
