This caution is offered freely because when the appeal to ECONOMY is generally made no
other thought is given excepting ECONOMY. 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

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

the bubonic plague from tho cnat

Here the rodents are tacked to

plague Is most In evidence.
I The cities on the Atlantlo and gulf

my
hlbltlon ' of commerce, Is almost an lm
possibility, have begun the work Of e-
amlnlng their rodent .population lor
plague. 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. Large
