RATS Menace
to Mankind
BY Brice Belden, M. ID.

~ UBoNIC PLAGUE. which Is
known TO be carried by rats
- TO human beings. has APP
peared I'm two places In this country
and also In several South American
seaports. This means possibility
of an outbreak OF the dreadful,
plague In this country, where IL is
usually very rare.
The bacillus. which Is the Original
cause of the bubonic plague. m
tests a certain kind of flea which
lives as a parasite upon rats. This
flea. which comes from the Orient.
IL usually the Egyptian fiea, as th.s
kind Is the most prone to Infection.
However. there Is another carrier
flea. which lis found In America and
Europe, which lives upon squirrels
as well as rats.
. Unfortunately. these small car
riers OF Infection may be parasitic
upon human beings as well as rats.
and herein lies the danger of the
existence OF rats In the community,
and above all rats which have been
brought In upon ships coming from
Oriental countries.
Bubonic plague has always been
inclined TO appear along the trade
routes and has plainly been carried
from Asiatic seaports TO European
and American coast cities. In some
cases II has been conveyed far in
land by the carrying of fleas In
clothing brought from the East In
these ships. or else by the spread
of the fleas through the rat popu-
lation which has come into contact
with the deadly small visitors from
the Orient.
Eastern countries have had plenty
OF experience In dealing with the
problem, and their methods should
be studied in any attempt to offset
the plague in this country. 1t was
found that the rats bred faster than
they could be killed, but that they
could be exterminated through star
walton and by destroying their
nests.
Another important step toward
assuring safety from the menace
would be to steralize all goods car
ried on incoming ships which might
be OF a nature adaptable to carry
ing these Infected fieas from the
East.
