ERADICATE THE RAT!
A Disease Breeder and Carrier That
Serves No Good Purpose.
Rats are dangerous. They have no
legitimate business, nor can they serve
any good purpose in any community.
Sanitariana are well agreed that rats
'are a serious menace to health. They,
are so filthy in their habits as tenants
i ✓of the sewers and as feeders on every-
thing dirty and diseased that it is no
wonder they are carriers of disease,
:parasites and plague infection.
That rats are afflicted with many dis-
eases more than bubonic plague is con-
firmed by Dr. Rupert Blue, surgeon
general of the United States public
health service, who, speaking on this
,point, says: "Other infections of the
rat are trematodes, or flukes; cestodes,
• or tapeworms; nematodes, or round
worms; protozoa, insects and vegetable
n 'microbes.” Of the rats examined in
San Francisco 84 per cent were in-
gested with tapeworms.
Plague is primarily a disease of the
rat. It is communicated from the
plague stricken rat to other rats and
from rats to man by means of fleas, as
the principal agent, yet it has been
determined many times that handling
a rat [lint has been dead of plague only
•It few hours gives the infection almost
instantly. Two small boys while play-
ing in an unused cellar found the body
'of a dead rat. The corpse was buried
with unusual funeral honors. in forty -
,eight hours both were ill with bubonic
\plague. A laborer tit:thug a slek rat
,-on the wharf picked it up with the
>naked Maud and threw it Into the bay.
He was seized three days tater with
:plague. But the [lea Is the chief ho•
•ocplator. Fleas abandon a rat dead
.of plague and go In search or living
, -beings who still have [lural blood eir-
•eulating in their veins Biting man
they inoculate into hiw the livhr virus
"which starts the disease
Since plague Is it disease due to rats
.and rat fleas and out to filth or dirty
habits, there's only one thing to do to
atvoid plague. eradicate the rats. ;!'his
-can be done by making war on thou.
with traps, poison and starvation. and
-'by "rat proofing" against them; that
is by building them out. As a result
'of the Chinatown plague epidemic in
1907, so efficient was the ratproof c•un-
•structions that followed. that rats and
Illlagee were entirely "built out" of that
:part of the city.
BAD BLOOD
"is The Cause of Boils and Pimples.
When boils or pimples start to break
-out on your face or body you may rest
assured that the blood is in an impure
-state, and that before you can get rid of
;them it will be necessary for you to
jpurify it by using a good medicine that
will drive all the impurities out of the
System.
Burdock l3lood Bitters is a blood puri-
fying remedy. One that has been on the
'market for, the, paSt„ forty., years., „One
that is known from one end of the country
to the other as the best blood purifier
in existence. It cures boils, pimples and
:all other diseases arising from bad blood.
BOIiLS CURED.
Mr. Andrew E. Collier, River Glade,
N.B., was troubled with bond for years,
'in fact, did not know what it was to be
•rid of them until he used Burdock Blood
Bitters. It cured him. •
PIMPLES CURED.
Mr. Otto 'Hoyer, ` orker,' Ont., had'
'his face and fleck break Out with 1pim
He tried severai kinds of medicine Burk 'out succeed. Two bottles of Bitrd
Blood Bitters banished them.

TIlE SITE OF WATERLOO.
Forbear! This plain is still too deal
with cries.
This soil too sanguine for thy stucco
lies.
Shall earth where reeled the guard
thy villa pen,
Where nations groaned be heard the
cackling hen?
A mansion mark where in the gath-
ering murk
Those terrible gray horsemen so did
work?
Here wilt thou dare to live, where
such men died
And on that memorable dust reside!
Here only ever let the solemn moon
Uninterrupted weave a spirit noon.
Here only falter down a pensive dew
From skies too wistful to be purely
blue.
But shouldst thou bund on consecrate
ed ground,
Then bet those houses filled with spec-
tral sound,
Of clashing battle and the ghostly
. war
Of charging hosts against the batter-
ed door!
Let solemn bellow of hollow cannon
boom,
A dreadful cavalry invade the gloom!
Until in awe of those who fell or Sed
The living flee from the more living
dead!
That silence now too conscious is for
sound,
It broods upon itself and is self
bound
Then let no builder of this field have
lease,
'Tis let to time, the property of peace!

Although the boot and mouth dis-
ease has been known in this country
only a generation, it has visited Euro-
pean countries for It couple of cen-
turies and was imported to our shores
by infected cattle. it manifests Itself
in Ulcers about the mouth and feet.
Fever, saliva and lameness are symp-
toms. In malignant outbreaks the
death rate is high, but in mild at.
tacks it is low. However, cattle and
hogs that survive usually continue in
poor condition. The disease is highly,
infectious, cattle, hogs and sheep be-
ing its chief victims.
Like many other diseases, but little
is known of the hoot and mouth ail-
ment and the virus which transmits it.
All that science can tell us is that it is
highly infectious and can be checked
only by stamping it out, killing dis-
eased animals . and disinfecting places
where they have been.

GRAVESTONE LUNCHEONS.
One of the Curious Sights of New
York's Financial District.
In old Trinity churchyard, where
Robert Fulton and Alexander Hamil-
ton lie hurled, dozens of girls can 1313
seen through the pickets of the bronze
fences every day enjoying their noon-
day lunches amid the tombs of the
old time New Yorkers. All about are
high skyscraping office buildings. The
elevated trains clatter and bang over-
head, and on Broadway the trolley's
gongs add tumult to the roar of the
city. Within the old churchyard all
is peace and quiet. it is here that the
girls from these big office buildings
come of a noontime to eat their lunch,
"far from the madding crowd," yet
within a hand's reach of the bustle of
Broad way.
It was only a few years ago that
some girl, a typewriter in a nearby
office building, chanced to let her eyes
fall over the gravestones of old Trinity.
They did not bring thoughts of ghosts
to her mind—they only made her think
that it would be lovely if she could eat
her lunch among such peaceful scenes.
The next day she and a girl friend
brought their lunches. They entered
the churchyard and, seeking a secluded
spot behind the old church, sat down
on an old tomb and began to eat their ;
sandwiches. Nobody objected. The
next day they came again. Otherlgirls,
emerging from stuffy restaurants, saw
them and resolved t� imitate them.
The next day there were half a dozen
there, and nowadays, when the noon
hour is bright and sunny, the number
has increased to sometimes seventy-
five.—New

patch.
Equality of Sex.
There is a little girl in Springfield,
Mass., who, like many of her sex, re-
sents the imputation that the feminine
mind is not so strong as the masculine.
One day her mother remarked on the
apparent lack of intelligence in a lien.
"You can't teach a hen anything,"
she said. "They have done more harm
to the garden than a drove of cattle
would. You can teach a cat, a dog or a
pig something, but a hen—never!"
"EI'ml" exclaimed the child indig-
nantly. "I think they know just as
much as the roosters!"—Youth's Com-
panion.
Mystery of the Stomach.
"Why does not the stomach digestit-
self?" is a .^,ucstion often asked. The
Journal of the American Medical As-
sociation confesses that the reason has
not yet been found. There are many
theories, but not one of them is entirely
satisfactory, and we are still unable
to say more than Hinter said more
than a century ago, "that these living
cells remain intact under such circum-
stances 'because they are alive.' "—
