The United States Department of Ag-

at 81. AS the rat population easily
equals the human population, the loss,
due TO rats, in this country alone, av

of the dreaded BLACK DEATH" which
have killed more human beings than
all wars in the worlds history, may
be introduced into the human system
by the bite of the rat f1et. The bubonic
plague, typhus, and other terrible dis
eases are directly traceable to the rat.
Thus. from the standpoint of public

LOOKING WHERE 1T ISN'T

Certain Iowans and the mayor of
New York. finding that ham which
sells for "a cents in Iowa sells for
fifty cents in New York, that the
railway freight on same is less than
three quarters of cent, are wonder
ing how they may reduce the freight.
1t appears, however, that no one
has discovered how this would reduce
the retail price in the metropolis. If
the three-quarters of a cent, the
freight cost. were entirely taken off
does anyone suppose the retailers
would take cent off the selling
price? Why, in Paris, the sellers of
merchandise, hearing the government
intends to increase taxes, didn't wait
for this to be done but Immediately
marked up the prices. 1t would be
scandalous for New York to be less
enterprising than Paris.
Henry Ford's success in selling a
little less than his councillors seems
to have made but little impression on
the mercantile world. This should
worry Henry. Some of the rest of
us. however, are left to wonder just
what Is that in which enterprise con-
sists, whether in ability to put up the
price or in ability to reduce it.

trary it seems that Nit. Earring ton
