According TO q bulletin issued by the
Ohio stale board Of health. there are
more rats in the United States than
there are people. The Incorporated
Society for the Destruction of Nermin
estimates that there is az least one
rat Tor every nan, woman and child
il the British Isles. Similar estimates
have been made for Germany, France
and Denmark.
The annual cost of each rat to the
country has been computed at $50 in
Great Britain, $3.50 in Denmark and 81
in France AS specimens of the dep
relations of rats, DR.. Lantz, in Pub
lie Health Bulletin No. so, cites the
following:
An Iowa farmer, writing TO an agri-
cultural journal, reported that rats had
destroyed In one winter about SEQ
bushels Of corn Of a total OF 2,000
bushels stored in cribs Another farm
er reported that rats had robbed him
Of an entire summers Matching Of 300
or 400 chicks, and still another one at
ributed his loss in grain and poultry
for one season due to rats as sufficient
to pay his taxes for three years
The upkeep Of a rat in this country
Is about half a cent a day. Estimating
one rat to each person, s167, 100000 are
lost annually by the depredations OF
this pest
Rats begin TO bear'young when three
months Old They win litter about
six times a year and bear from to u

together with the fact that they are
nocturnal in their habits and live in
hidden holes. accounts for the large
rat population and emphasizes the DIFF
ficulty of destruction on a wholesale
scale

To Pension Leiah Hunts pauqhter.


The long memory of British
government departments is curl.
ously illustrated in the new list
of civil service pensions, wherein
Mrs. Cheltenham is described as
the daughter Of the late Leigh
Hunt, for to most of us Leigh Hunt
would seem to belong to a remoter
past, where the use of "the late" is an
irreleyance, since the great critic was
born in 1884 and died in 1869. He and
his have amply earned recognition
from a liberal ministry. It is now q
century ago that the brothers Hunt
made an attack In their paper, the Ex.
aminer, on the savagery of military
lodgings, and suffered prosecution.
They were acquitted, only to be imme-
diately proceeded against for speaking
The truth of the prince regent, and
sentenced to two years imprisonment
and a fine of $500 Carlyle tells US
that Hunt endured "obloquy and ca
lumny from the tory press greater
than any other living writer" And al
though the tory press of today has
little kinship with that of 100 years
ago, there is poetic Justice in the pres
entday pension.

REPUBLICANS ARE BUSY

Need of Hard Work in Counties to
Obtain Full Party Registration.

No time will be lost by the Republi-
can organization in preparing for the
campaign. Unlike the Democrats. who
waited the result of the primary cleo
ton before they were in readiness to
begin their fight, the Republicans whose
candidates are already nominated, are
in position to take the initiative, and
the steering committee named at the
conference on Tuesday will proceed at
once to map out plan of campaign.
Amos Woodcock, private secretary
to former Senator Jackson, the chair
man of the steering committee, has
been appointed secretary and the first
meeting is to be held next Wednesday
afternoon at state headquarters. At this
meeting consideration will be given to
the formation of plans for the registra-
ton of voters. Much will depend upon
the success of the leaders in securing a
complete enrolment. The voters must
be impressed with the Importance of
registering, and this can pc accomplish
ed only through precinct organizations.
1t will be the aim of the steering COM
mittee TO perfect a system at once
which will be fruitful of results.
1t will probably be less difficult to
awaken interest in Baltimore city than
in the counties first, because the voters
there have been registering blennially
for arumber Of years, and again because
they are aware that unless their names
are now placed upon the books they viii
