gue-infected countries, or to prevent
them from getting ashore where they
could infect other rats. Shipmasters
and quarantine authorities will pre-
sdmahIy look after that primary duty.
But that is by no means all. 1t is a
mere stop-gap, to serve until the
greater work can be effected, to wit,
the practical determination of rats, not
merely on shipboard but also through
out the land, in city and country.
There is cause enough for that in
the rats propagation and dissemina-
tion of one of the deadliest and most
hideous of all the diseases which af-
flict the race But if that reason did
not exist in convincing power, there
is another which would be ample.
That is the economic loss which rats
inflict upon the nation. 1t has been
officially and credibly estimated that
in the United States each year rats
consume or destroy at least $780,
100000 worth of agricultural produce,
and do at least 100000 worth of
damage in households. That is a to-
tai of half a billion dollars a year, rep
resenting the total loss which this ma
ton suffers every year from rats.
When it is added that the rat is in all
The Redwood gazette., 1920-09-01

respects a peculiarly offensive crea-
ture, without apparently one redeem
ing trait, the case for a campaign OF
determination should be complete.
The magnitude of the task may to
some seem staggering. But it is by
no means impossible. Some great ci-
ties in other lands have achieved it
and are now free from the vermin
We must remember what was achieved
in Cuba, in Panama, at Suez and else
where, in suppressing yellow fever and
malarious diseases by eXterminating
mosquitoes. If that could be done
there, we should be ashamed to sug-
gest that determination of rats would
be impossible. Of course it would be
an expensive job. 1t might cost mil
lions of dollars to do it thoroughly it
should be done But what are a few
millions, to save a loss of hundreds
of millions yearly? 1t is a job for
universal cooperation, of physicians,
scientists and laymen, of the Fedora!
Government, State Governments, and
municipal authorities, of city and
country, industfialists and farmers
The rat is an all but universal pest,
and universal action against him is
needed.-Harvey's Weekly.

THE BUBONIC
PLAGUE PERIL

"It is a condition that confronts
us, not a theory" in respect to the
bubonic plague. Or rather it is a
condition, plus a conclusively proved
and most pertinent theory. The con-
dition is aminous The theory is re-
assuring, or should be, in a high de-
gree. The condition is, of course,
the very considerable prevalence of
the terrible plague in Mexico, and its
undoubted appearance at one OF
more places in the United States.
That, we say, is ominous. 1t gives
no cause for panic, but it does strong
ly prescribe the employment of all
possible vigilance and energy to pre-
vent any general or considerable in
vasion.
For the proved theory has to do
with the nature of the malady, the
way and means of its propagation,
and the effective method of suppress
sing it. The medium of transmission
is a certain kind of flea, which infests
rats and some other small animals,
but chiefly rats. The rats are suf-
fering from the plague The fleas bite
them and become infected, and then
bite other rats and convey the dis
ease to them; or bite human beings and
make them victims. Obviously, if we
could exterminate the fleas, the pla-
que would be suppressed. But that
would be a difficult job, and indeed
impossible in itself. But it is unnec-
essary. The simpler and equally eff
fective plan is to kill the rats.
That is the task to which sanitari-
ans are now summoned, and in which
the general public may steadily and
should certainly take hand. The
first precautionary measure is to kill
all rats on incoming vessels from pla-
