There's only one way the packets

the business. It is evident from the

Civil Service Commission Lists Men as

New Examinations viii
Be Needed

Most of the men holding positions on
the outfall sewer expect to get similar
work on the Los Angeles aqueduct.
Daily requests are being made to the
civil service commission to transfer the
outfall men to the aqueduct bureau as
fast as their jobs pass away.
Where the duties are identical the men
are put on the eligible list without
question in the order of their standing
as shown by their last examination
averages When the duties are not the
same a new examination will be neces-
sary.
There are several general foremen on
the outfall contract whose fate Is prob
lematical. as 1t is not likely that the
title general foreman" will be main
tanned on the big waterway Instead
there will be foremen of cement work, of
excavations, of carpentry and so on, the
duties being different in each case.
Hence new examinations will be ordered

INJECT GERMS IN RATS
TO KILL THEM QUICKLY
SCIENCE FINDS NEW WAY TO Ex-
TERMINATE RODENTS
Health Officer Powers Brings from
North News Of New Warfare, Sup
pIementing Traps and Poison
as Death Dealing Agents

Health Officer l.. M. Powers returned
from San Francisco greatly pleased with
the handling of the epidemic there by
the federal and local physicians.
He went north for a short rest and
took the opportunity to visit the hospital
there where the cases are being treated.
One wing of the hospital has been COM
pletely cut off. corrugated iron walls be-
ing built and flooring laid of the same
material, even in the basement, to pre-
vent the ingress or egress of any rats
which might become infested with fleas
or germs there.
Antiseptics and germicides are freely
burned and scattered there so that no
fresh center of infection ay be started
anywhere.
Use Dany's Fluid
The most radical work done there, DR..
Powers says, is that of inoculating rats
as fast as possible with Dany's fluid.
Every rat captured for the experts is
inoculated with this substance.
1t sickens the rats, and spreads an
infection of fatal rat disease annbng them.
They die rapidly from the new sickness
which is thinning out their numbers per-
haps as fast as poisons and rat traps
are doing.
Rats infected with this fluid are also
turned loose on ships, so that any
remaining rodents will become infected
and die quickly.
This Is done after the ships are first
given treatments of sulphur fumes.
Before many days are past San Fran
cisco will practically be ratless city.
The epidemic is spread mainly by rat
fleas. The surest preventive for human
beings Is to anoint the body with penny
royal and sprinkle buhach powder on the
underclothes.
The odors keep the fieas away and pre-
vent possible bites.
