The nearest point from which the disease has heretofore approached oifr Atlantic and gulf seaboard Is tho Asores. But now It has. found a lodgement In Porto Iljco, where It haa already Vaused over 42 cases and a score of doatha, and In Havana, Cuba, where a dozen persons have been attacked and several deaths have occurred.

Buy what you really need, secure those things for your home and your personal needs that will be of useful saving. Don't buy merchandise just because it's worthy and it's sq very cheap that's false economy and you fail to solve the problem of thrift. Buy of those things offered; that 'you are sure youll need throughout the store on every side we make our bid to youjTpocketbook with first-class, reputable merchandise. It will be hard to resist buying, foT the reductions are immense, more so now with the time rapidly ap proaching when the curtain on the removal sale will be lowered, the house darkened and the doors closed for good. One thing is quite certain, your money will never go farther than in this great sale, for, be sides price reduction, you buy Quality, style and good taste. ' It is impossible for you who are not "in the secret" to know how utterly impossible it is for us to transfer any of our present stock to the new store. When we do open the doors you will at once understand why reductions weae so great and sacrifices so uncompromising Yesterday's bargains are gone today today's bargains will be gone tomorrow Every day from now on the store will be an ever-changing kaleidoscope. Arrange to visit the store every day or so from now until the end of the sale. Yoli will profit wisely and substantially.

The bottom picture shows a typical rat Infesting back yard in the-natlve quarter of Porto Rico where the plague Is most In evidence.

All vessels from Ban "Juan and Havana bound for tha United Btaten, are thoroughly fumigated and every known measure taken to prevent their cringing rata Into our ports. Crusades against rets are also under way In the mrraiened cities. I cannot prophesy what United (States ports. If any, will be attacked, nor can 1 say which, will he the flrat to Buffer from" the Incursion of the plague. Jn- Jeed, It la to be hoped that the tlme'y warning that has been given and the manifold precautions that have ben taken will serve to protect us. But In the meantime It Is the duty of every port having marine communication with other cotintrlrs which are plague Infected to Iwgln nt onoe to rid Itself of rr.te, and to, so provide for-the future that even if Infected rnta be'lmported, they will have no opportunity to entor human dwellings and xpread the dlseaHu through the transference of their floas to man. When the plngtin wns reported tn Pofto Hloo, the public health and ma rine honplta service of the United States, at once doubled lta precautions in order to prevent this ancient dlaoane from gaining access to our eastern and southern ports. Our experience with the disease in California has demonstrated th,e fact that it In only by measures of the utmost promptitude and efficiency rust ftKfi dleeaHCf can be auccessf ully eradicated. Therefore Asslstsnt Bur geon .S. H. Grubbs, who was already In Porto Rico aa chief quarantine officer, Immediately put into operation the ma chinery which Is used to pivent the disease from leaving an Infected port. This mbodics a thorough outgoing quarantine which means Hint all ships are fumigated after discharging a cargo; mat mcy arto-4 lOBdtMl- fewm- -Hrhtw- ana mat the only freight that can be shlpppd is that which has been certi fied as having, orlKln'ated and having ben stored in rat proof surrodhdlnga only. Fleas Carry tbe Plague. ' ' Plague l carried to trmn from the fleas of Infocted rata, So If we can prevent the transportation of rata from Infected ports Into mmlnfected ports, we can prevent the shipment of plague from stricken territory Into clean corn munltles. The altuatlon In Porto 'Rico finally tytcame so scute that 1t was soon seen that more exhaustive measures must be taken. Tiie government of Porto Rico, therefore, requested the assistance of the publlo health and marine hospital service because of the recognized ex perience of this corps In plague warfare Assistant Burgeon R. II. Creel, an of ficer cf great field and laboratory ex perience, was at one ordered to Porto Rico. Aa Ills assistants were sent As sistant Surgeons Joseph Rldlon and T. Lt Williams. Plague has manifested Itself by hu man death In the town of San Juan, Kan- turre, Cnrolljiai Ioiza, Arroyo and Do rado. This really represents quite an extensive area. The heaviest infection, however, has been found In the two most, thtckly populated portions of San Juan, Puerta De Tlerra and Santurce and the work la therefore focused On these points. How do you fight plagueT To fight plague you must not only wage a war of absolute extermina tion upon the rat, but you must also trace the disease among the rodent pop ulation and prevent lta being trans mitted to man. To exterminate the rodents you must Your Pocket Book take Into consideration etery single fao tor of their existence. The flrat thing la to cut off the raft food supply. This Implies a .clean household both Inside and outsltY It does not mean that the remnanta of the meale are merely out of sight, or that the refuse from the stables can be thrown Into an uncovered bin, but It means that all foods' which might temp the rat Shall be rendered Inaccessible by the ie of metal container or metal screening, Once you have done thla It la easy fo kill the rata off by using poisons. It haa been my observation that phos phorus paat Is one of, the best poisonous agent's. It shines at night, and the rata seem to like Its taste and odor. Another advantage It haa Is that It deteriorates,' hence you are not likely to kill an ani mal you never Intended to harm a cou ple of years after you put the poison out No matter what kind of poison Is used, Its must be put out carefully so that children and domestic animals will not 'come In contact with Jt. In order to trace tha course of the disease In rata it le neceasary to obtain samples of tho rodent population. To do this two kinds of traps are used, tha large wire cage trap and the smaller snap trap. The cage trap has the ad vantage that It takea the rats alive and thus permits scientific Investigation of the fleas upon their bodies. In this connection It may be stated that In Ban Francisco and Porto Rico many careful studlea are being made of tha different species of fleas. It requires Just aa much Intelligence and care to trap rata as It does t a, trap mink or otter. The rat bait should be firmly-attached to the trap, the trap must be placed In the runway of the rat. he surroundings must be changed as little as possible, and every precaution taken to prevent frightening the quarry. Time and labAr are 'required to train rat trappers. And a peculiar combina tion of skill and patience la necessary to produce a good rodent hunter. All captured rats muat be tagged to show where, when and how and by whom they are captured. They are then taken to a laboratory and exam ined by a akllled corpa of officers for evidence of disease. The captured rats are first Immersed In an antlseptlo solution to kill the fleas. Next a tacker affixes the rat to a shingle. The shingle Is then given a number so that even If th tags Is lost the identity of the rat remains es tablished. Next the rat Is passed to the skinner who, wlllt a pair of forceps In one hand and a sharp scalpel In the other, re flects the skin from the abdomen of the rat and looks at the' armpits and groins for enlarged glands. He then opena the body and looks .for other evidences of disease. It is remarkable how skilful these laborera become In recognizing plague, leprosy and the host of other dlscaeee which affect rata. Next, the rats are gone over care fully by ai officer who has been trained tn a hygienic laboratory In the recognition of this disease. Should h,e flnj anything suspicious he makes the bacteriological culturea neceasary to es tablish or disprove his diagnosis.: Suppose that a plague-infected rat Is found, the field force Is Immediately notified and the dlatrlcJrom which the Infected animal came Irvayhjected to a thorough cleaning. These sra the measures that have been put In force In Porto Rlro.
