THOR centuries an enemy has been
at work in our midst destroying
millions of the worlds population,
In comparison with which the great
European War would be mere Skin
mish.
1.-THE rat is responsible for more
deaths among humau beings than all
the wars Of history. Oceans fail to
limit its activities" says Mr.. Frank
Baackes, vice president Of the Ameri-
can Steel and Wire Company.

for the plague called black death
devastated Europe for fifty years, kill
ing two.thirds or three-fourths of the
population in large territories, or
about twenty-five million persons.
India has lost since 1896 nearly nine
millions Of it's Inhabitants.
1.-The disease is still ravaging Asia,
Africa, Australia and South America
and has now attacked Europe and
North America.
Through the fieas that infest them,
rats are of course wholly responsible
for the transmission of the bubonic
plague, and it has been proved also
that rats are active agents in spread
ing pneumonia plague. Septic pneu-
monia and epidemic jaundice in man
and trichinae in the pig have also been
traced to the rat. He is also sus-
pected of being the carrier of infan-
tile paralysis. He undoubtedly car
ries many kinds of infectious germs
from his haunts of filth, leaving them
upon human food. .s
Doctors disagree as to the origin Of
the so-called influenza. although most
of them have agreed that it is closely
related to the pneumonia which SO
frequently follows. May not the rat
have had something to do with the
spreading Of this recent plague!

They spent the rest of the time argu-
