ERADICATE THE RAT!
A Disease Breeder and Carrier That
Serves No Good Purpose.

a Disease Breeder and Carrier That
Serves No Good Purpose.
Rats are dangerous. They have no
legitimate business, nor can they serve
any good purpose in any community.
Sanitarians are well agreed that rats
are a serious menace to health. They
are so filthy in their habits as tenants
of the sewers and as feeders on every
thing dirty and diseased that it Is no
wonder they are carriers of disease,
parasites and plague infection.
That rats are afflicted with many dis
eases more than bubonic plague is con-
firmed by DR.. Rupert Blue, surgeon
general of the United States public
health service, who, speaking ON this
point. SAYS Other infections Of the
rat are trematodes, or fukes; cestodes.
or fpeworms; nematodes, or round
worms; protocol, insects and vegetable
microbes" OF the rats examined In
San Francisco "a per cent were in
Tested with tapeworms.
Plague is primarily a disease OF the
rat. 1t is communicated from the
plague stricken rat to other rats and
from rats to man by means of fieas, as
the principal agent, yet it has been
determined many times that handling
a rat that has been dead of plague only
a few hours gives the infection almost
instantly. Two small boys while play
ing in an unused cellar found the body
of dead rat. The corpse was buried
with unusual funeral honors. In forty
eight hours both were i'll with bubonie
plague. A laborer finding a sick rat
on the wharf picked it up with the
naked hand and threw it into the bay
He was seized three days later with
plague. But the flea is the chief in
oculator. Fleas abandon rat dead
of plague and go in search OF living
beings who still have warm blood cir
culating in their veins. Biting man
they inoculate into him the living VIRUS
which starts the disease.
Since plague IS disease due to rats
and rat feas and not to filth or dirty
habits, there's only one thing to do TO
avoid pldEues eEdulSdAc lnC AHI7' A'
can be done by making war on them
with traps, poison and starvation, and
by rat proofing" against them; that
is by building them out. AS result
of the Chinatown plague epidemic In
1907. so efficient was the ratproof con-
structions that followed, that rats and
plague were entirely ''built out" Of that
part OF the city.

PARIS, Jan. IA dispatch from
Dunkirk says dozen German aero
planes bombarded Dunkirk and en-
virons Sunday. Thirty bombs were
thrown by the airmen, but there were
few victims. The material damaged
was unimportant.
Ready For Battle.
According to the Copenhagen cor
respondent of the Temps the entire
German high seas fleet is massed at
Wilhelmshaven and Cuxhaven, ready
to sally forth and meet the British
dreadnaughts. The Kiel port is abso-
lutely denuded of first-class ships and
and only few obsolete vessels remain
in the harbor, he says.
Aviator Brought Down.

continue the journey, for they turned
their machines and steered in the di-
rection of Dunkirk.
Following the report of the ap-
proach of the hostile air squadron, a
vigilant aeroplane and automobile
patrol was established.
A Zeppelin airship, accompanied by
three German monoplanes, passed
over Furnes, Dunkirk and Calais Sat-
urday night, according to The Daily
Chronicles French frontier cores

LII was believed, the correspondent
adds, that the aircraft were headed
for Dover, but they were flying very
high and did not attack the towns

monthly statement system.
The work on the statement, as we'll

All this work is done in mechanical
