FEAR OF PLAGUE STARTS WAR
Rats and Pet Cats Slaughtered in
I England After Recent lnvestiaa-
ton of Death of Animals.

London.-Fear of the plague has
started a war on rats in several towns
of Suffolk, and in proclamations the
medical officers have warned the pub
lie to destroy all rats and vermin. Even
the domestic cat Is under suspicion,
and many have been sacrificed in the
effort to prevent the plague.
An iron cart. ordinarily used to col.
lect all sorts Of dead animals, Is now
used exclusively for rats, and travels
around the district daily with man
walking ahead and calling on residents
to bring out the rats that have been
killed. The official notice states that
1t has been proven beyond doubt
that certain animals in3Woodbridge
died from the plague and a raid on the
rats is directed because they are be-
.lieved to have much to do with spread
ing disease.
Efforts are being made in London to
keep rats from coming ashore from
vessels. The most effective means Is
to place a concave SIM disk on each
hayser. The rat when he reaches the
disk cannot pass and must either go
back to the ship or jump In the river.

This will conclude the campaign be-
gun year ago, when the National

free printing, and nine paper manu-
. facturers gave the paper for the post

The posters are in six different de-
signs and are all printed in three col

nine feet high Already nearly $500
Of these posters have been hung on
