HEALTH NOTES.


It has been estimated by those who
have had experience in understanding
campaigns that in the average city
there is at least one rat per inhabitant.
If this estimate is even approximately
correct, Chicago has a rat population of
2,0O0, 900 or more. 1t is also estimated
that the average life Of a rat is Eve
years; 50 that on this basis, 2,OO0, 900
rats die in Chicago every i've years.
This would mean that on this rate Of
mortality, 100000 rats die each year in
Chicago or over 1000 daily. Now, the
query arises, what becomes Of the dead
rats. Surgeon V. G. HeiseF, of the
U. s. Public Health Service and Chief
Quarantine officer for the Philippine
Islands. has raised this same question
in connection with his thorough and
effective campaign of rat extermina-
ton in the City of Manila. He esti-
mates that the rat mortality in Manila
is not less than $4,000 a year; and yet
in all his vigorous clean up work in
that city q dead rat was rarely dis
covered. His observations also COW
cred a careful investigation of the
garbage destruction plants where in
several days deliveries of garbage and
refuse only one dead rat was found.
1t was also noted that the Sanitary
officers were seldom troubled with com
plants as to odors from rats that had
died in inaccessible places; so that from
no source was it found possible to
obtain any definite information as to
what becomes of the dead rats. Con-
Guiding his article in a recent issue of
the Public Health Reports, DR.. Heiser
suggests that further studies along
these lines be made and expresses the
belief that the knowledge, if it could
be obtained, might prove to be useful
in the destruction of rats and in rid
ding our cities of these dangerous and
expensive pests.
During these sultry August days,
dress the baby ightly-the fewer
clothes the better. The baby that is
over dressed just to make it look sweet
and pretty will be cross and uneom-
Portable, and cross because it is I'M
comfortable And don't starch the
baby's dresses, let them be as soft
and comfortable as you know how to
make them. Babies that are healthy
and good-natured do not need a lot of
nice clothes to make them pretty any
more than you would use artificial aid
to add to the beauty of a bunch of
fresh blown roses.
So, in hot weather, the less clothes
the baby has to contend with, the bet
ter off it will be. Shoes and stockings
should not be thought of. For every
day wear, binder and napkin, with pos
sibly the Eghtest of short gown or slip
are plenty. But there are some things
the baby should have. 1t should have
at least two baths a day. 1t should
have a drink of eool-not ieed-boiIed
water several times a day. 1t should
have plenty Of good fresh air. and if
dependent on cows milk, it should be
fresh, clean and pure. If you have a
baby in the home, write to the Depart
ment Of Health, and we will be glad
to send you the little booklet telling
you how to take care Of the baby. You
know if babies are worth having, they
are worth saving. So, let's save the
babies.
