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

London.-Fear of the plague has
started 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
lcct all sorts of dead animals, is now
used exclusively for rats, and travels
around the district daily with a man
walking ahead and calling on residents
to bring out the rats that have been
killed. The official notice states that
it has been proven beyond a doubt
that certain animals in Woodbridge
died from the plague and 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
hawser. The rat when he reaches the
disk cannot pass and must either go
back to the ship or jump in the river.

A few hours later he was crushed I'm.

carrying him to a hospital.
Mr.. and Mrs. McGrath were startled
by screams from the room where
Charles slept. The lad ran to his moth

mother, l dreamed I was dead" he
cried. Il was all covered with blood
and they put flowers all over me in a
coffin"
Believing that the child was i'll, Mrs.
McGrath did not allow him to attend
school. Charles and four-year-old
Charles Keenelly went to the roof of
the McGrath home to fly kite.
Soon afterward Mrs. McGrath heard
screams from the housetop. She ran
to the fiat and found her son pinned
under a mass Of brick and mortar,
fallen from the top Of the chimney.

which was nailed up against, q large
tree close by the house. ..
In this box several telephone wires
converged. It was q sort of neigh

What was the surprise Of the tele.

filled with nuts. They took out three
peach baskets full, each one holding
at least two quarts.
Rioting among the nuts were the
