RAT MANKlND'S GREAT ENEMY
Rodents Determination Would Be of lnestimable Benefit to the Whole
 Human Race.

The bubonic plague of today is iden- hcal with the black death of the mid dle ages. Primarily a disease of TO- dents, caused by short dumb-bell shaped microscopic vegetable, the pest bacillus, it occurs in man in 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 50 per cent. It Is a disease of commerce, spreading around the globe in the body of the ship-borne rat. It is estimated that every case of human plague costs the municipality in which it occurs at least $75OO. This does not take into account the enormous loss due to dis astrous quarantines and the commer- eial paralysis which the fear of the disease so 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 fieas. The sick rat has enormous numbers of plague bacilli in it's blood. The blood is taken by the flea, which, leaving the sick rat seeks refuge and sustenance on the body of a human being, to whom it transfers the infection
 Since plague is a disease of rodents and since it is carried from sick TO- dents to we'll men by rodent fleas, safe- ty from the disease lies in the exclu- sion of rodents, not only exclusion from the habitation 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 useful purpose as the unpaid city scavenger.s Rats will not come where there is no food for them. Municipal cleanliness may be regard ed as a partial insurance against plague. The prayer that no plague come nigh our dwelling is best an- swered, however, by rat-proofing the habitations of man. Modern sanitary science has evolved simple and eff cient weapon against the pestilence which walketh in darkness and strik- eth at monday and the United States public health service has put this knowledge into practical operation and thus speedily eradicated plague, wherever it has appeared in the Unit ed States.

Fate Inevitable.

Harry Shunk, an Ohio product, who has long been prominent in minstrel and vaudeville circles, is fond of em. ploying his leisure moments in hunting out characters and gaining odd side. lights on human nature.
 At carnival in a southern town two colOred boys stood near the edge of a crowd that had assembled to watch a high diver.
 As the daring athlete slowly mount ed a tall pole to a tiny platform GO feet in the air, a brass band on the ground played ''chills-and-fever music
 When the diver left his perch plunged head downward into a small tank on the ground, and "scooped" out onto the ground like a flash, the music broke into a lively strain.
 The colored boys held their breath until the daredevil feat had been ac. complished, then one said to the other, as they turned to go:
 "Some time dat ban am gonna play, and dat man ain't gona heah it.'
