RAT MANkIND'S GREAT ENEMY
Rodents determination Would Be of
InestimabIe Benefit 20 the Whole
Human Race.

The bubonic plague of today Is iden-
teal with the black death OF the mid
die ages. Primarily a disease of ro-
dents, caused by short dumb-ben
shaped microscopic vegetable. the pest
bacillus. it occurs in man III three
forms. the pneumonia, which has a
death rate Of almost 100 per cent: the
septicaemic. which is nearly as fatal.
and the bubonic, in which even with
the most modern methods Of treatment
the mortality is about 90 per cent. It
is a disease OF commerce. spreading
around the globe in the. body OF the
ship-borne rat 1t is estimated that
every case Of human plague costs the
municipality in which it occurs at
least $500. This does not take into
account the enormous loss due TO dis
astrous guarantees and the CONNER
cial paralysis which the fear Of the
disease 50 frequently produces
The disease is now treated with a
serum discovered through the genius
OF Yersin- This is used IN much the
same way as is diphtheria anti-toxin
Plague is transferred from the sick
rodent TO the well man by feas. The
sick rat has enormous numbers OF
plague baciIli IN its blood The blood
Is taken By the flea. which, leaving the
sick rat. seeks refuge and sustenanee
on the body OF q human being. to
whom il transfers the Infection
Since plague is a disease OF rodents
and since it is carried from sick ro-
dents 10 vel men by rodent heas, safe
" from the disease lies In the exclu-
sion Of rodents, not only exclusion
from the habitaticn Of man but also
from the ports and cities of the world.
Those who dwell IN rat-proof surround
ings take no plague Not only should
man dwell in rat-proof surroundings,
but he should also live in rat-free sur
rOundings- The day Is past when the
rodent served 8 useful purpose as the

Municipal cleanliness may be regard

The speaker. an elderly man with a
fine, broad brow. hollow cheeks and an
angular frame, looked from the hotel

METHODIST CHURCH NOTES.

SUNDAY morning The DdSLULs LSCN
G. W. Douglass, preached on the text,
Behold, now is the accepted time;
behold. now is the day of salvation"
In opening, the preacher said that it
was his purpose to speak especially
to those who attend church but have
not become processing Christians.
Concerning such he proposed the fol-
lowing questions: First, is it a lack
of information? The reply was that
in some instances this may be the
case. This can hardly be true, how
ever, concerning the majority of
church attendants. The next ques-
ton was: Is it because of a lack of
urgency and a sense of reality? If
so, some blame must be laid at the
door of ministers, if they do not pre-
sent the matter outside the pulpit,
and to Christian people if they do
not live earnestly for Christ and en-
deavor to induce others to do the
same. If Christians do not lay stress
on these things in daily life, they can
not expect others to esteem them as
of great practical Importance. When
men turn to the New Testament they
find the matter of salvation set forth
as of supreme Importance. To be
saved IS a momentous matter both for
this life and for the world to come.
For those who have lived many years
the best time is already past. Gods
time is now The future Is uncer-
tain. Men know that they ought to
become Christians. When a duty be-
comes imperative how much better
men feel having performed it. Peo-
pie were told they would go out of the
church either in a lost or saved con-
dition- They were urged to decide
Immediately to become followers of
Jesus Cards were distributed, CIV
ing each an opportunity to avOw HIM
self
Beside a special piece of music by
the choir, a duet was sung by Misses
Pearl Densmore and Annie Gallagher.
The fact was noticeable that of the
good-sized congregation hardly any
body was late. Such promptness helps
both minister and people.
In the evening the pastor spoke on
the subject, How to Live Success
fui Christian Life" The points en-
phasized were as follows: Com
plete and unconditional surrender to
Christ, a close walk with God, seek
ing immediate restoration when we
fall into sin, prayer, Bible study, and
Christian service.

THOSE SAMMIES
SCRAPPIEST BUNCH IN EUROPE.
THOROUGHLY MAD, WANT
REVENGE.

With the American Army in
France, Tuesday, Nov. 16.-The
third series of American battalions is
now occupying the first line and the
second American detachments to en-
ter the trenches have returned to
their billets. The relief was accom-
plished on a brilliant starlight night
without the knowledge of the Ger
mans. Included among the return
ing troops is the company which bore
the brunt of the recent raid on the
American trenches.
Openings here and there in the
ranks showed how many men had
been killed, wounded and made pris-
oTers in the trench fight. After the
company was dismissed an officer of
the battalion watched the men splash
off through the mud and said:
There goes the scrappiest bunch
of soldiers in France. They are mad
all through and are just hiding their
time till they get a chance to repay
the Germans for what happened to
their comrades. They will get their
revenge before this war is over. You
can depend on that"

STATE FINANCES
STATION AGENTS TROUBLES
LAID TO THE GAME.

Aberdeen, Nov. 16.-Thirty days
work and 81 nights of poker proved
the undoing of F. r. Snyder, brought
back from st. Louis, Mo-, to face an
embezzlement charge preferred by
officials of the Minneapolis & st.
Louis railroad. Snyderswas the COM
pany's agent at Stratford, IL miles
from Aberdeen. After working a
month, he absconded, and was found
short in his accounts with the rail-
road to the extent Of $500. He
owed the Wells Fargo Express COM
pany 5000 more. Snyder confessed
to Sheriff Wyckoff that he. played
poker every night during his stay at
Stratford. At first he was lucky,
and bought an automobile with his
winnings. Then his luck changed,
and he took company money in an
effort to recoup his losses. 1t was
through an effort to secure his auto
mobile. which was in an Aberdeen
garage. that led to Snyder's arrest at
st. Louis.

JUDGE CONVICTED
FORMER MADISON MAN SHORT
In HIS ACCOUNTS.

Sioux Falls, Nov. 16.-George w.
Judge, for several years a resident of
Madison, but for the past few years
agent for the Hamm Brewing COM
pany at Marion, has just been con-
victed In the circuit court at Parker
of embezzlement in connection with
the Hamm agency. Shortly after the
breweries were forced out of bust
ness in this state last July ii was
charged that Judge was short in his
accounts with the brewery, but his
friends believed that the seeming
shortness was due to errors which
might have been made in the closing
days of business. The jury looked
at the evidence in another light, how
ever, and he was found guilty. Judge
will be sentenced on December IL,
provided the new trial asked for by
attorneys for the accused man Is not
granted.
Mr.. Judge is an oldtimer in the
state and Is well known in Sioux
Falls.

erty destroyed. But the next report
WITH nave a different showing, with
the heavy fire loss at Sisseton, which
reached a quarter of a million dol
lars, with insurance of only about
half that amount. There has also
been a heavy fire loss of hay and
grass in the western part of the state,
one fire alone in Dewey county burn
ing rel $4,000 tons of hay worth
many thousands of dollars on the
ground and a quarter of a million on
the market. Numerous smaller fires
covering practically all sections west
of the Missouri river, and consider.
able territory in the eastern and CEN
trail parts of the state has no doubt
more than doubled this loss, all of it
without insurance. The loss of
stacked hay is a severe one, but no
more so than to the range grass it
self in the cattle country, which will
mean the moving of large herds of
cattle for winter feeding, and the
purchase of hay to make up for that
lost.
