SECRETS OF
HEALTH
by DR.. Brice Belden-

y
During the construction period
of the Canal-the now immortal
Gorgas once remarked: Our next
objective must be TO drive the
rats out of Panama" Sheer
phantasy, it seemed to me then.
Now. however, the danger from
the plague. the chief disease
communicated by rats. has been
practically eliminated from that
port.
Before the war rats in many
parts of the world already consti-
tuted a veritable plague, and the
consequences of this were mark
eddy increased by the four years
of war. Without any exaggera-
ton it may be said that rats
today are a public scourge. The
campaign against them cannot be
a private matter and, if it is to
be successful, properly organized
and uniform legislative measures
are necessary. The Health Sec
ton of the League of Nations has
shown a certain interest in the
matter and 1t seems likely that
international collaboration is not
far distant. Prof. Louis maintains
that the time has come to take
energetic measures to combat the
real danger threatening public
health and to prevent the enor-
nous economic losses occasioned
by rodents
1t is well-known that rats are
carriers of plague germs. Since
the beginning of the Eighth Gen.
fury Europe has fortunately been
free from any extensive epidemic
Of plague. although local cpl
denies have been caused from
time to time by plague-infested
rats brought in by shipping.
1t has been found that there
are five large plague cenLers
from which the disease spreads
suddenly at intervals; these are
the territories west and east of
the Himalayas, the mountains or
Altai in Asia, the country of the
Nile delta and Brazil. Plague
germs are in most cases trans
mitted by rats, and plague may
spread slowly among rats be-
fore any outbreak occurs among
human beings. The only practi.
cal means of checking this slow
spread is by destroying as many
rats as possible.
Rats also play an important
part in spreading infectious jaun-
dice, and there is another disease
known in Europe as rat-bite
fever Rats are great carriers
and dissemina tors of trichinosis. a
disease caused by eating infected
or measly pork. There are some
areas where rats are very serl'
ously infected by this germ. and
rats ought to be compulsori!y eX-
terminated in all districts where
trichinosis has been discovered
in swine. Rats. moreover, are
important in the propagation OF
foot-and mouth disease, and when
the farms are disinfected they
find their way to other farms,
sometimes at a great distance.
and thus spread the disease.
As carriers Lf tuberculosis from
stable to stable and from animal
to animal rats no doubt play a
part, especially among birds. 1t
was thought at one time that the
tuberculosis of animals was not
poultry and other birds, but re-
cent work in Denmark and else
where tends to show that bird
tuberculosis germs may infect
animals and human beings.
In short. the indictment of rats
is long and grave one. and they
play a far more important part
in contagion and the propagation
of infectious diseases than is
@enera1ly supposed

Want to succeed? Want to
sell your stuff to the world? OF
course you do. Then take this
tip from a friend
SELL YOURSELF FIRST. FOR
YOU ARE YOUR OWN MOST
IMPORTANT CUSTOMER, AND
UNLESS YOU CAN SELL YOUR
STUFF TO YOURSELF 100 per
cent, YOU'LL NEVER BE ABLE
TO SELL 1T TO THE WORLD.
Most of us start life believing
that success depends on manipu-
cumstances.. 1t doesn't.
SUCCESS DEPENDS ON THE
PROPER MANIPULATION OF
YOURSELF AND YOUR OWN
CIRCUMSTANCES, NOT THE
OTHER FELLOW.
IT'S YOUR ATTITUDE, NOT
THE OTHER MANS, WHICH
WILL DETERMINE THE sue.
CESS OR FAILURE OF YOUR
PLANS, YOU MUST SELL
YOURSELF FIRST.
But remember this" selling
yourself" means much more than
wanting to do a thing or think
ing you can do it. Selling your
self an idea-committing your
self to pay the price of whatever
hardship or sacrifice may be
entailed in putting that idea
over.
Selling yourself means believ-
ing in the thing you want TO do
so thoroughly that you are filled
with FIGHTING FAITH.

One of the committee was Albert Williams, who suggested that it might be placed in the memorial building.

 Turns Over Building
 Mir. Bowen then insroduced the chairman of the building committee saying that six years ago the alumni of Woodstock Academy determined to put up a gymnasium in memory of Mir. Hall. principal of the academy over twenty-five years, and the com mittee went diligently to work to get subscriptions, some small. some larger. but with an ever increasing fund. 'The chairman of the building committee, whom we all know, all honor and all love is with us today, Mir W. C. Child" said Mir Bowen.
 Mir. Child said that the occasion was pretty nearly the happiest of his life. In 1921 goodbye was said to Mr Hall. Since that time money has been raised. II was at first purposed to use t as ss fund to help worthy pupils through the academy but. re- membering how Mir. Halt used to wrinkle his face as the boys came into the school room covered N tn precipitation, after engaging in sport. it was felt that Mir. Hall would have appreciated a place where there were shower baths. This thought changed the plan and instead of a fund to assist pupils gymnasium was determined upon as memorial. Co be called the Hall Memorial Gym nasium.
 The committee worked very hard. The building committee, Mir. Samp- son, Mir. Pike and Mir. Peekham; also Henry Baker, Albert Williams and w. E. Child for the Alumni. Mrs. Albert Hubbard acted as secretary and MT. Sampson as treasurer. Mir. Williams was active in grading.
