HE rat is the worst Minimal
• pest in the world. From its
home among ..filth . it visite
dwellings. and storerooms to
ptlute and destroy human food.
It carries' bubonie plague and many
other diseases fatal to man and has
been responsible for more untimely
deaths among human " beings than all
the wars of history,
In the United States rats and mice
each year destroy crops and other
property valued at over 3300,000,-
- ON. This destruction is • equivalent
to the gross eitinings of an army of
over 200,000 -men.
On many a farm, it the grain.
eaten and wasted by rats and mice
could be sold, the proceeds would
more than pay all the farmer's taxes.
The common brown rat breeds Bis
to ten times .a year and produces an
average of ten young at a .litter.
Young females breed when only three
or four months old. - '
At this rat a pair of rats, breed-
,ing uninterruptefly and without
deaths, would at . the end of three
years (18 generations)' be increased
to -359,709,482 individuals. •
For centuries the world has. been
fighting • rats without organization
and at the,same time has been feed-
ing them and building for them fort-;
resses for concealment. If we are to
fight them on equal terms we must
deny-- them food and hiding places.
We must organize and unite to rid
communities of these pests, The time
to begin is now.
Granaries, corncribs, and poultry
houses may be made rat -proof by
liberal'_ use of cement in the found-
ations and Hoare; or the foms may
be of wood resting upon concrete.
It bas been found that in poult
houses, dry soil or sand may be usdd
as a covering for the cement floor,
and in stables a .wooden floor resting
on concrete is just as satisfactory so
far as the exclusion •.of rats is con -
corned.
The common practice of ° setting
corncribs on posts with inverted pans
at the top often fails to exclude rats,
because the posts are not high
enough to glace the lower cracks of
the structure beyond reach of - the
animals. As rats are excellent jump-
ers, the posts should be tall enough
to prevent the animals from obtain-
ing a foothold at any place within
three feet of the ground. A crib built
in this ,way, however, is not very
satisfactory.
For a, rat -proof crib a well -drained
'site should. be ,chosen, • The outer
walls, laid ix cement, should be sunk
.about 20 inches,into the ground. The
space within the walls should be
grouted thoroughly with cement and
broken stone and - finished with rich
concrete for a floor. -Upon this the
structure may be built. • Even the
walls of the crib may be of concrete.
Corn will not ' mold in contact with
them, provided there is good, ventila-
tion and the roof is water -tight.
However, there are cheaper ways
of excluding rats from either new or
old corncribs. Rats, mice, and spar-
rows may be kept out -effectually by
the use of either an inner or an outer
covering . o1 galvanized -wire netting
of half-inch mesh and heavN enough
_to resist the teeth of the rats. The
netting in common use in screening
cellar windows is suitable for cover-
ing or lining cribs. As rata can climb
the netting,_the entire structure must
be screened, or, if sparrows are not
to be excluded, the wire netting may
be carried up about three feet from
the ground, and above this a belt of
sheet metal about a foot in width
may be tacked to the outside of the
building.
Owing to. their cunning, it is not
always easy to clear rats from prem-
ises by trapping; if food is abundant,
it is impossible. A few adults refuse
to enter the most innocent -looking
trap.; And yet trapping, if persistent-
ly followed, is one of the most effec-
tive ways of destroying the animals.
For general use the improved mod-
ern traps with a wire fall released
by a baited trigger and driven by a
coiled • spring have marked advan-
tages over the old forms, and many
of them may be used at the same
time. These traps, sometimes called
"guillotine" traps, are of many de-
signs, but the more simply construct-
ed are preferable. Probably those
made entirely of metal are the best,
as they are more durable. Traps with
tin or sheet -metal bases are not
recommended. -
A small section of an ear of corn
is an excellent bait if other grain is
not present. Other excellent baits
for rats and mice are oatmeal, toast-
ed cheese, toasted bread (buttered),
fish, fish offal, fresh liver, raw meat,
pine nuts, apples, carrots, and corn,
and sunflower," squash, .,,or pumpkin
seeds. Broken fresh. eggs are good
bait at all seasons, and ripe tomatoes,
green cucumbers, and other fresh
vegetables are very tempting to the
animals in winter. When seed, grain,
or meal is used with a guillotine
trap, it is put on the trigger plate,
or the trigger wire may be bent out-
ward and the bait placed directly
under it. -
Among the principal poisons that
have been recommended for killing
rats and mice are barium carbonate,
stryehnin, arsenic, phosphorus, and
squilla.
Poison for rats should never be
placed in open or unsheltered places.
This applies particularly to stryehniu

WILSON LOOKS AN OLD FEEBLE
• MAN -
After the delegation of fifteen pro -
League Republicans made their visit
to President' Wilson recently, Hamil-
ton . Holt, leader of the 'group, issued
a statement which •shocked everyone
who read it, because of its description
of Mr. Wilson's appearance and de-
jected manner.
Five other members of the delega-
tion were asked subsequently to des-
cribe the visit and the President.
Their statements were as follows: .
Mrs. S - huyler N. Warren; of New
York:
"I am of young. I have had many
solemn moments in my life, but I can
assure you that, when' we stood in the
presence of President Wilson in that
room at the White House, I consider
it the most solemn moment of my
life. The men with us stood with
tears in their eyes in the presence of
this great man, stricken, aged, worn,
and yet with not „a line in his face
that showed bitterness, rancor, or
malice. He had but one thought, one
dream, in his heart. There, was no
bitterness left toward his enemies. He
seemed far away from the vanity and
folly of the world,, as if he were just
living_to see the ideal accomplished.
"If the•people who revile him could
just see him as he sat in his wheel
chair -if he could be transported to
Carnegie Hall` just as he is to -day for
the whole world to see -a man suffer-
ing, aged and yet burning with zeal
for this great ideal. I don't believe
he would have an_enemy,in the world.
"The - change that -I saw, the thing
that crushed me so, was to see how
President Wilson, from a eon 'parative-
ly young man as I saw him last, had
Veen converted into an old,. old man
-not broken', but old! That to me is
the tragedy.. and cruel thing.
The Rev. Dr. Arthur J. Brown of
New York,:
"I was shocked by the President's
appearance. I expected, of course, to
find that - his illness had resulted in
some abatement of his former phy-
sical strength, but I had been led by
public reports to believe that he had
regained a large proportion. of his
viri)ity. Instead of this, ,we found a
broken man, his face was drawn and

haggard, his eyes were dull, his voice
,was low and weak. It was pathetic
I to see that once splendidly alert and
vigorous man so completely shatter-
ed. We gained the impression,' too,
that he was not only broken_ in health.
but that he was heart broken over
the - humiliating position into which,
partizan and personal 'enmities- had
brought our country, delaying the
realization of that great consumla-
tion of the Legue of Nations for
which he toiled so hard and sacrificed
so much. -
"We left the White House feeling
that we had witnessed a scene of
what may prove to be of historic sig-
nificance, a scene in which the splen-
dor of a great mind and spirit had
triumphed for a moment over physi-
cal weakness and pain, but that the
lamp of physical life was burning
dangerously low. It was one bf -the
most moving experiences of my :life."
Joseph M. Price, of New York. -
"It was a horrible shock to .see
President Wilson. Probably to those
who have been with him constantly
' the change has not seemed so tremen-
dous, and probably he has been a
:great deal worse than he is now, but
the physical change in the man is
something of which the people of the
country have absolutely no realiza-
tion. "At times when he' was reading
his address I didn't think he could
finish. He feels so much about this
subject _ of the League - of Nations!"

SAYS SHAVING IS - BAD. FOR
HEALTH
~
If beards lessen pain and lengthen
life, its is obviously wrong and fool-
ish to shave. This is the contention
of Dr. Arthur MacD i'ald, of Wash-
ington,
ashington, D. C., who writes ' on the sub-
ject in The Medical World (Philo-
delphia) . Dr. MacDonald calls at-
tention to the fact that shaving is
largely a matter of - fashion. At the
end of the twelfth century beards
were in disfavor, but : when Francis
I. let his grow to hide the scar of a
burn, they came into fashion' again.
And - when Louis XIII. became King
of France as a beardless boy the
practice of shaving at once prebailed.
throughout France. The question of
expediency or health bad obviously
no place in these changes, and Dr.
MacDonald believes that it is equally.
without influence in' the present- pre-
ferenee for smziothly shaved - faces,
If we consid'ere, sanitation in the
matter, he says, we should let our
beards grow; for they protect the,
face and throat against undue heat
and cold, filter out dust and organ-
isms, andimprove the personal ap-
pearance -an item that he considers
to fare within the domain of hygiene.
Writes Dr.. MacDonald:
"You might as well shave the fur
off the squirrel and' cut the feathers
from a bird as to shave the hairs
from the `face.
"At the present time the habit of
shaving, especially in our country,
appears to be at its maximum in
history. It is a form of egomlania,
the results of .which` may culminate
•in death before deah is normally
due.
"It is objected that the beard and
mustache, are uncleanly affairs. But
it goes without saying that they
should be kept scrupulously clean.
"But how about women? As a
rule, women have more fat beneath
the skin than men have, especially in•
the neck and face. ... It is- a pro-
tector of the summits of the lungs,
the main air -passages, and the great
blood -vessels. The laryn' and trachea
in women appear to be -deeper seated
than in men. Yet, notwithstanding
such safeguards, women_ are said to
have more facial neuralgia than men.
"Among bearded railroad' leen, who
are often exposed to the elements, -,
it has been found that pulmonary and
respiratory affections are comparative-
ly rare. It is said that the sappers
and miners . of the French army, who
are rdmarkable for the size arid beau-
ty of their beards, enjoy a special
immunity from bronchial affections.
"Just as the hair protects the head
so does the beard the face. The mus-
tache is nature's respirator, while the
hair covering the jaws and throat
gives warmth and protection to the
delicate structures under it, especi-
ally the faucek and the larynx. The
hair of the mustache absorbs the
miasma and the moisture of fogs; the
beard takes heat from the warm
breath of the mouth as it leaves the
chest, and supplies it to the cold air
taken in.
"If a inan would have increased
• immunity from toothache, relaxed
uvala, coughs, - colds, inflammation,
desquamation, and all the, rheums let
him grow a beard. It helps to avoid
the irritating effects of the ' sun's
s
ra tending protect t e d g to p o et from
freckles."
Preliminary study of the beard
cited by Dr. MacDonald has been
made on fifty-three strong, healthy
men from twenty-five - to forty-five
years of age, who shaved the face
after having previously worn the full
beard. At first, all of them experi-
enced unpleasant sensations of cold,
and only fourteen of them became
speedily accustomed to the change.
The others suffered with affections
of the teeth and jaws, rheumatism
of the gums, enlar'gemen't of the sub-
maxillary glands, and rapid increase.
of cavities in previously affected
teeth. To quote further:
"The beard also helps to protect
the skin from• insects, especially mos- I quitoes, the main, if not the only,
cause of i malarias..... - Relatively
few 'people die of malaria, but it
weakens . their resistance to other
diseases, especially pneumonia,. which
often ends in death.
"Beard and mustache tend to
lessen colds, and thus furthers pro-
tect from greater dangers.
"A cold is- increased and prolonged
by abnormal conditions of . the nose
and throat. Smoke, dust, and fog can
produce such] conditions; thus dust
from a quarry when breathed into
the nose irritates the mucous mem-
brane. The mustache ' would keep
Much of the dust out, lessening :the
irritation.
"The beard may be grown to hide
facial defects, to cover up an un-
even face and make it ,look more
symmetrical; in short, to improve
the personal appearance."
