"The Bubonic Plague Is advancing against us with no uncertain step," declared Dr Samuel G. Dixon, com missioner of health of Pennsylvania, yesterday In the course of his lecture on "State Control of Contagious and Infectious Diseases" In the couran nf j special lectures being given at the College of Pharmacy, Philadelphia, Pa. Marvel at thts-Under normal, con ditions a female rat will bear three to ave Utters of ten, each year. At this rate one pair of rats would in five years increase to over nine hun dred billion, provided all survive. The economic losses from rat depredation in the United States are enormous. A government report says: "It costs tho American people $100,000,000 yearly m grain alone to teed the rat. Add to this $35,000.000 to $50,000.000 In merchandise, poultry, eggs, other foodstuffs, damage to buildings, furni ture, pipes .embankments, founda tions, piers, etc, and you have an amount equal to the revenue of an empire. And so far as anyone baa been able to make out the n t se man no useful purpose. They are wary, alert and dangerous foe, sud lt will require intelligent, energetic and unremitting efforts to euppross them. In some localities the sup pression of the rat has become almost a necessity for the preservation of Ute human race. It has followed man into all parts i "te globe, and where the rat goes, pia gae and other dis eases invariably go. The rodent, in addition to carrying plague, is* also the reservoir of trichinosis and ton other parasites. Furthermore, rats have leprosy. They also have cancer.
