the rat flea spreads infection at an enor-
nous rate when plague happens to be
prevalent.
Rats have also been accused Of convey
ing typhoid germs from the sewers to our
food. How this might come about is quite
obvious and should determine us to keep
rats away from our food.
Cancer is exceedingly common in rod
ents. IL our laboratory workers ever es-
tablish definite connection between
human and rat cancer we should be enor-
mously helped in our fight against this dis
ease, which now battles nearly all our
efforts.
Certain observers have recorded the
fact that in plague abscesses develop In
the groin in the majority of cases before
they appear elsewhere, because the flea
infects the legs of his victims, and they
have connected this with the known fact
that In infantile paralysis in monkeys, In
duced artificially, the initial paralysis will
appear near the site of incubation pfac-
tically always. In other words, flea bites
of the legs by insects infected with In
fantile paralysis would seem to account
for the paralysis OF the legs in most in
stances of infantile paralysis in
children.

fashioned wire cage traps are the best,
but If handled with ungloved hands the
rats will avoid them, as they are wary of
anything smelling of man. Cellar, stable,
sewer and ship rats may be killed by sui
phur and steam fumigation. When poi
sons-such as phosphorus arsenic, stryCh-
min and barium carbonate-are used spe-
cial precautions must be taken to protect
children, chickens and other domestic
animals.
II is known positively to American
health authorities that II single rat gets
ashore at any of our ports bearing the
germs of the bubonic plague the whole
country may be swept by the disease.
Why? Because the one infected rat would
infect other rats, and these in turn their
fellows, until every rat in America be-
came a carrier of the plague. The real
carrier of the minute spirochaete, or para
site of the bubonic plague, Is the flea, with
which the fur of rats is alive. These fieas
hop from rat to rat, from rat to cat. COW,
horse and to man from one of these. The
bubonio plague is no respector of persons,
and the wealthy and well-groomed man
catches II with the same facility as the
poor and impoverished man.

and in its fields and convenient areas.
Rats, naturally, under such stimulus, in

foods alone 10 devour wheat. The news
spread throughout ratdom and rats from
all over the continental island came from
inland to live on the idle luxury of wheat.
determination gangs of men seemingly
made little impression on the millions of
rats, constantly breeding on vast scale
in the midst of luxury. Finally the aston
ishing happened. The rats developed
plague peculiar to themselves, an internal
fungus plague, l judge from the descrip-
ton. With human intelligence the rats
began fleeing from their own plague.
Thousands. millions Of them, fed the coast,
making inland.
The mortality of rats soon became
frightrul. They could not escape mortal
disaster by flight. They dropped dead in
their tracks, even those which reached
the supposed haven Of the far inland.

were made on gophers, which are not only
carriers Of diseases. but destroy crops to
the extent of millions Of dollars worth in

attention was next paid to ground moles,

The transmission OF plague from rats to
human beings comes about through an in
termediary-the fiea. Rats are responsible
for most cases of plague and carry the
disease from one locality to another. There
Is always more or less plague In countries
like India and Arabia, and they furnish
constant source of supply. Rats abound
in those regions and die OF plague in
countless numbers.
The rat flea leaves the rat and bites
human beings. II the rat which II de-
serted was a plague rat, then the flea that
lived upon II has been infected through
sucking its blood. Consequently, when the
infected flea bites q human being the
germ OF plague Ia injected and the dis

possible carriers Of disease. 1t has lately
been proved that the common snail and
the slug pick up disease germs from hui
man leavings and afterward deposit them
on our vegetable food.
The excreta of patients, suffering from
disease, Is taken on and distributed by
flies, neas, lice, bedbugs and other insect
pests. When there is no prscaution, ex-
creta are devoured by rats mice, poultry
and particularly snails. The snail, II is
known, is one Of the most deadly menaccs
to human and lower animal life So far
every known disease germ has found in
the snail an intermediate host. The ex-
creta Of a sick person pass into bird or
mammal as food. The excreta of the bird
or mammal. in turn, pass on to the ground,
where they are devoured by snails and
many noxious insects. Snals are every
