CAMP WALTON.

Camp Walton, March S.-Saturday
March 1st called to mind the touch
ing poem 60 from the Indianapolis
News:
THE rain it raineth every hour,
And then it rains some more;
At first we have a gentle shower
And then a steady pour.
Then presently it stops again,
A bit Of blue appears.
The sun comes out a moment, then
The clouds are shedding tears"
And with these weather conditions
we gave up all hope OF attending the
party at Indianola Inn. but q covered
launch came for US and much to our
surprise we found over a hundred
guests assembled.
'-Oh, I thought this weather would
keep you at home"
Keep me at home! Not when there
is party at the Indianola, always
have too good a time for that" were
the remarks heard.
Dancing was the order OF the even
ing and was most thoroughly enjoyed
for there was music in abundance,
Their being two violins. a guitar, har-
monica, accordian and piano and
players for all.
It has been said that poets are
bern and not made" and the same can
be said truthfully Of hostesses. Mrs.
Frances Pryor is an ideal hostess and
not a guest is neglected, partners are
supplied to the bashful ones and no
one has an opportunity to play wall
flower.
Gertrude Whitney favored the COM
pany with the buck and wing dance.
She is a dainty. graceful woman and
dresses in exquisite taste. Her gown
was of pink chiffon trimmed with
pink satin and as she danced swaylng
and swinging with the music many ad-
miring remarks were heard.
Miss Whitney is a writer OF note and
makes a speciality Of book reviewing.
She has left for Chattanooga, but will
return later in the summer.

DISEASE GERMS, AND Is A MEN,
ACE TO THE CIVILIZED WORLD.

In many homes the rat does a great
deal of damage by eating food sup
plies, and his board bill is an expen-
sive proposition, so that today the rat
is undoubtedly the most dangerous
and expensive pest that afflicts hu-
mainly. He not only destroys mil
lions of dollars worth Of property but
promotes the plague, carrying disease
germs and plague-heas from one part
of the world to another. The United
States, England, Germany, Japan and
other countries have already taken
steps to annihilate the rat through ac-
ton of their health or agricultural de-
partments and every household should
Cooperate in this work.
The rat is now known to be the chief
agent in spreading the hubonic plague,
the dread disease that within the past
ten years has destroyed millions of
human beings in India, China and
other Eastern countries and which was
only prevented from spreading in the
United States by the vigorous work Of

Surgeon Rupert Blue and his asso-
ciates in killing off the rats on the
Pacific Coast.
The rapidity with which rats null
tiply is the main reason why there is
so little Roadway in their extermina-
ton. More than twenty young rats
have been found in single nest and
IL is estimated that single pair OF
rats and their progeny would, II none
was killed, in three years increase to
more than ten million.
This is the best time in the whole
year to kill off the rats as the cold
weather has tendency to drive rats
and mice into the homes and thus con-
centrate them Fighting rats is the
same as fighting anything else. The
enemy should be starved by keeping
food supplies in rat proof containers,
and killed by auactive and effective
agent such as a reliable paste that
can be bought in handy Csc packages
from almost any druggist, the kind
mentioned by the government in the
report on the determination of rats
at San Francisco. In selecting the
proper poison ask for one that is sold
under guarantee of money back II it
fails and then in case the rats are not
killed off the purchaser can get back
his money.
The determination of rats is form
of health and property Insurance which
protects the health OF the whole COM
munity and not only should board OF
health make systematic efforts on a
large scale to kill of the rats but
every householder should give his or
her persona. aid in DISCRIMINATING this
destructive pest The rat is under SEN
tence of extinction and must go.
