Easy NOW TO KILL RATS

CAPTAIN C. c. Adell, commander OF
the Kew West Naval Base, should be COM
mended for his activity in the fight against
rats in Key West. But the determination
of rats is comparatively simple matter to
what if used to be- A poison has been dis
covered that is a sure killer, so much so 1t
is sold with a guarantee to rid any house
or locality within Is days.
The Citizen can't recall the name of
the poison, but Captain Adell can easily
get full information about it by communi-
eating with the Department of Agricul-
ture in Washington. 1t requires five days
for the poison mixed with ground corn, to
kill rat that returns, night after night
till the final knockout, to eat the poison
which turns his blood stream almost into
water.
Tens of thousands of rats have been
killed recently, chiefly in farming COM
munities. Hundreds of reports have been
made of the complete determination of
rats.
Key West has waged warfare against
rats on several other occasions, but in those
times, as is at present the case, the term
rodent has been used as though only
rat is a rodent. But a squirrel, beaver,
porcupine, hare, or any other manned
that gnaws, is a rodent. That term is gen.
eral; let us besspecific and say rat"
which instantly stamps the mind with all
the implications pertaining to that pest as
a disease carrier and destroyer of food
stlffs designed for human consumption.
That destruction of foodstuffs ran to more
than billion dollars year in the United
States before the newest poison to kill
rats was discovered.
Aside from the poison, the best way
to fight against rats is to have few cats
in ones yards. The last FL years the writ
err has not once been bothered by rats be-
cause he has had cats in his yard during
that time. But on many occasions, during
that period, he has seen in his yard dead
rats r3niee that his cats had killed. He
reasoned, and still reasons, that it is faa
better to spend little money feeding
cats than to be pestered by rats, with their
diseasezbearing lice and fleas
The Citizen trusts that residents of
Key West generally will give full support
ito Captain Adells efforts to rid the COM
mlInity of rats. That goal can be attained
if every resident sets out bait saturated
] with the latest discovery in the extermina-
ton 7of rats.

Faith.
It's been a few hundred years
now since this earth has realisti-
cally considered spiritual values.
We've rolled merrily along, de-
pending upon mechanical inven-
tons and mankind itself to solve
cur problems. Evidence shows
this ride is becoming rather
bumpy now.
Always in the past, we've man
aged to overcome one wrong by
creating a greater wrong. When
bows and arrows were in vogue,
the creation of armor solved the
problem. Then in rapid success
sion came gun powder, rifles,
macnlneguns. gas, bombs, etc.
It's a nice solution for our trou-
bles-the creation of greater and
deadlier forms of destruction. But
the drawback is that Man has
hisN limitations.

Though he sometimes gives a
first-class imitation of the latter.
History shows that there is sort
of a saturation point-a point
when human beings cannot in
crease their troubles anymore
through bull-headed stubborneSs.
This is when they begin to turn
to the old stand-by-spiritual
values. Surprisingly enough, those
spiritual values are always there
and they always provide a solu-
ton for mankind'S messed-up af-
fairs.

Philosophy

It's considered suicide for a
newspaperman to talk about
philosophy or religion. Readers
have their own set opinions, or
they are not interested. Be that
as it may, I like the study of
these subjects.
If you will check Roman his
tory Immediately following Jesus
Christ, you will discover that they
had a wonderful, material civili-
cation. The divergent views on
politics, moral ethics, ETC., caused
their downfall. The Christians,
by the same token, were able to
survive and build toward a bet
ter world because of their unified
belief and dependency in one
God.
Elsewhere in the world, and
at different dates, the Jews were
able to survive because of these
came reasons.
All recorded history points 10
the fact that survival of a people
is dependent on the acceptance
of certain spiritual values.
If you have time, read Justin's
First Apology" You might find
good excuse for being a Chris
tan. Justin, an early martyr,
was a philosopher and traveller.
He was sentenced to death for
Christian beliefs. When threat
ened with this punishment, he
replied to his Roman captors:
by prayer we can be saved
through our Lord Jesus Christ
even after punishment, for. that
will become to us salvation -.
at the judgement of our
Lord and Saviour. -
In the light of Justin's philoso-
ply, perhaps our troubles, if
borne properly, will ultimately
lead to our salvation. Not so
much as a race or a people, but
as separate individuals seeking
only the fulfilment of the phrase,
Thy will be done"

CHICAGO, July 18.-The White

piled by a funeral home, to serv-
ice Yankee pitchers in the distant
center field bull pen and it could

the visitors.

we didn't happen to need a relief
pitcher-Allie Reynolds pitched
a no-hitter.'
Last night. in the last of the
ninth. when the Yanks had to re-
place Reynolds, Reliefer Stubby
Overmire walked in from the bull
pen. The big black limousine,
however. slowly toured the field
at the same time. On it's rear

And the White Sox won, 4-3,

CLEVELAND, July 18. - The
first major league pitcher to win
his 18th victory Of the season
Bob Feller of Cleveland today ap-
peared a shoo-in to post more
than 20 triumphs.
The big highlander, enjoying
his best season since 1916, beat
the Red Sox, 8-6, last night tc
put the Indians closer to first
place than they've been since May
|8.
Now 80 and In his 18th season
with the Tribe, Feller's great
hurting career has one notable
deficiency: He's never won Q
World Series game.
From the way things have beer
going in the past month, Bob anc
his team mates intend to do some
thing about remedying that. Il
they succeed, Feller could achieve
Jail three of the goals he set fol
himself when this season started
% to pitch third no-hitter
(2) to win 20 games and Cd tc
score a World Series victory.
Feller's Surge Big Help.
Feller pitched his third no-hit-
ter against Detroit here July /
II he can win even half his starts
from here out. he will reach 2C
victories again for the first time
in four years. (He had 10. Is
and 16 the last three seasons and
an even 20 in 1947.)
The Indians were at low ebt
one month ago today after drop
ping three in Washington and
Feller started them on q comeback
by hurting a 81 victory over the
Red Sox. The Tribe was nine
games behind league leading Chi
cago then and in the ensuing
month they won 20 against
losses. Feller won four of these
but took two of the three beatings
he's had so far.
Bob's only loss against three
victories during July was to Allie
Reynolds no-hitter here last
week.
This July showing enable Feller
to catch up with and pass Sal
Maglie Of the Giants, who won his
18th on June 26; Elwin Preach

his 18th July 4. two days before

has fewer losses-two to Feller's
three. Newcombe and Maglie have
dropped four each, Raschi and
