or four months old.
At this rate pair of rats, breed
ing uninterruptedly and without
deaths, would at the end of three
years (1S generations) be Increased
to 369,7O9,4S2 individuals.
For centuries the world has been
fighting rats without organization
and at the same time has been feed
ing them and building for them fort
resses and concealment. II we are to
fight them on equal terms we must
deny them food and hiding places.
We must organize and unite to rid
communities of these pests. The time
to begin now"
To successfully accomplish this
task we must unite in our efforts, and
urge the necessity of cooperation and
organization in the work of rat de-
struction as OF the utmost import
ance. To destroy all the animals on
the premises of single farmer in
n community has little permanent
value, since they are soon replaced
from nearby farms. If, however,
the farmers of an entire township or
county unite In efforts TO get rid of
rats, much more lasting results may
be attained. If continued from fear
to year. such organized efforts are
very effective.
Many organizations already formed
should be interested in destroying
rats. Chambers of Commerce, civic
societies. and citizens associations in
towns and farmers and women's
clubs In rural communities will find
the subject of great Importance. Boys
and girls clubs, Boy Scouts. and sim
liar organizations could do excellent
work In this campaign and should be
enrolled for active service.
Now therefore. I, J. B. A. Robert
son, the Governor OF the State of
Oklahoma. do hereby proclaim the
week beginning July 21st. 1919, as
RAT DIFFERENTIATION WEEK and
urge wide publicity OF this campaign
throughout the State by the press,
pulpit and all other sources which
have been so valuable during prev
ious campaigns of a similar nature.

About Digestion

Digestion begins in the mouth.
The food should be thoroughly mas
ticated and insalivated before II Is
swallowed. When this is habituallly
neglected stomach trouble is almost
sure to follow. If you now have indi-
gestion eat no beef or veal and spar
ingly OF other meats, masticate your
food thoroughly and you may recover
without taking any medicine. II your
bowels are constipated take Cham
berlain's Tablets. They not only cause
gentle movement OF the bowels but
aid digestion and strengthen the
stomach.
