NINE HUNDRED BILLION RATS.
Danger of 7ubonio PIasue-Dr. Dixon

Marvel at This-Under normal con-
ditions o female rat will bear three to
five filters Of ten each year. At this
rate one pair of rats would in five
billion, provided all survive. The &C.
onomic losses from rat depreciation in
the United States are enormous. A
government report says: at costs the
American people 100000. 600 yearly in
grain alone to feed the rat. Add to
chandise, poultry, eggs, other food
stuffs, damage to buildings, furniture,
pipes. embellishments, foundations, piers,
ETC., and you have an amount equal to
the revenue of an empire. And, SO,
far as anyone has been able to MIKE
out, the rat serves man no useful pur-
pose. They are g. wary, alert and
dangerous foe, and it viii require in
telligent, energetic and unremitting ef-
forts to suppress them. In some To-
calities the suppression Of the rat has
become almost a necessity for the pre-

followed man into all parts Of the
globe, and where the rat goes, plague
and other diseases invariably go. The
rodent, in addition to carrying plague,
is also the reservoir Of trichinosis and
ten other parasites. Furthermore, rats
have leprosy. They also have cancer,
These tunors occur spontaneously
among wild rats, and may be readily
transferred from rat to rat. The rat
has grown from a nuisance to a danger
and control Of this rodent has become
a serious health problem, as well as
necessity. The above remarkable
figures, facts and comment are taken
from recent issue Of the Journal OF
the American Medical Association and
the reports Of the Agricultural Depart
ment. They are set forth here for the
purpose of calling attention to a re-
Gently discovered remedy, for the rat
pest which seems to have special
claims for consideration. 1t Is called
by the manufacturers Rat Corn, and
the unique qualities claimed for 1t
seem also to be fully substantiated;
these are, that Rat Corn will surely
kill rats, mice and all rodents. It will
not kill human beings. It mummifies
the bodies Of the dead rats, so that
they are entirely free from disagree
able doors or smells. It dries them up,
In fact, by using Rat Corn you can rid
your premises OF the pests and dan

sanitary manner. Investigate Rat
Corn. It is well worthy a trial See

POETRY


There's lone love 70 think OF:
II IL stone-walled. either side.
And II slopes between an orchard
And Held OF meadow wide
TIN Il narrovrs in a hollow,
That is wild with rocks and vines.
And a row OF sombsrins pines.
In tho DAYS OF early summer.
Oft I hnger In that lane.
That with equal grace invites me
In the sunshine or the rain
Then what buttercups ana daisies,
What virburnums tail and fair.
Primroses and Wtld-grape doWerS.
Pink-balled milkweeds, greet me-
there,-
There again, as soon as ever
Come those 1eafy. grassy days.
I must hear the red-winged blackoirdz
And song-sparrows sing their layss
And when there all things are quiet.
Zen the grasses and the leaves
Hear the bntheSome SWALLOWS -tWirte1
Gathered under distant caves
OFT 20 to call the cattle.
BY that lane at close Of day
Oh. how many are the pictures
That delight me on the, wayi
But the home 1 turn to look at.
Almost hidden, like a nest.
In the shadows Of its naples,
Is the picture I love best
Fast the summer is approaching.
signs OF 1t are everywhere.
There is something of its sweetness
In the city's changing air;
And thoueh sounds Of war and tumuit
Come across the misty main.
I am thinking of the quiet
That awaits me in that lane.

ANNOUNCEMENTS
DAVIS THEArRE.
seven Braeks, Wonderful RisIey Ar
lists Vaudeville Attraction Today.

II would seem that all manner Of
athletic feats have been shown in vau-
deville but the famous Bracks who
have just come to this country have
found something new. These sturdy
Teutons do things in risIey that would
seem impossible. In ones, twos, threes
and fours, they fly about from one
pair OF feet to another and somersault
to the floor in a whirlwind fashion
that Is akin to flying. There is a pre-
cision and sharp cut quality in their
work that is thrilling. The septette
range in size from a husky lad of
about II to six-footer Of fine athletic
build. This act was the special fea-
ture attraction for six months at the
New York Hippodrome and this is
their first engagement outside of the
big city.
In the photo-plays three big two reel
features VIII be shown, including the
third chapter of The Diamond from the
Sky. This wonderful serial grows
more interesting each week and the
chapter shown today is one of the
most thrilling instruments OF the Sc
ries, the title of this third chapter be-
ing called The Silent Witness. In 1t
Irving Cummings does many daring
feats. speeding at so miles an hour
and just missing a passenger train
coming in another direction and later
going over a high cliff into the water
below in this same car. Lottie Pick
ford is seen again this week and her
acting Is delight to everyone. Ten
thousand dollars in cash will be paid
to the person who submits the best
suggestion for sequel to The Dia-
mond from the Sky. Follow the pic
ture, closely, at this theatre. Another
feature today that viii especially ap-
peal to the young folks is The CONVEX
sion Of Frosty Blake. a two reel Bron-
cho western drama with the popular
cowboy actor, William s. Hart. Every
one remembers the excellent work done
by Mr. Hart in the Night Stage and
no one will want to miss this feature
with him today. The third feature is
one that will appeal to both young and
old and It is called Fatty's Plucky Pup,
two reel Keystone comedy with this
funny fat fellow keeping everyone in
roars for one solid half hour. This is
one of the latest Keystone special
comedies and It is considered to be
one OF the best they ever turned out.
Matinee everyday at 2:S0, all seats
10 cents, children cents; evenings Z
and 8:46-10, 15, and 20 cents. Don't
let the hot weather keep you from the
