Health Official Warns
OF Typhus Danger in Rats

One case of typhus does not make
an epidemic, but the presence in the
District of 100000 rats, together
with typhus report from the 100
block of K street NE, adds up to a
potentially dangerous situation in
the opinion of Maj. William H.
Cary, director of the Health De-
partment's Bureau of Sanitation.
Maj. Cary said in an interview
last night over radio station WMAL
that there are four rules the public
should follow in attacking the rat
problem: /, Keep garbage cans COW
cred; 2, remove trash and refuse
regularly; 2, include rat-proof1ng in
building plans, and 4, trap and poi
son rats. Rats, he explained, are
the reservoir" of typhus, and fleas
transmit the disease to man.
He said red squill' is the best rat
poison, and that it can be obtained
free from the Health Department..
