BXEUMOX1C PLAGUE
From time Immemorial the
very mention of. plague has struck
terror to the hearts of mankind
in practically every land and na
tion of the globe. With the estab
lismcnt of international travel the
tragedy of plague . began. , No
oyier disease of man has ever
assumed the alarming proportions
of this one dread malady that
could, when enshrouded in me
dieval superstition, decimate one
fourth of the entire population of
the known world. .

exact cause and most of the fac-
THRIFT IN DRESS AN ASSET v
IN PERSONAL UPBUILDING
By S. W. Straus, President American Society for Thrift
f'Ji movement is in progress
hlch has for its object the
encouragement of better stand
ards of dress among the men of
'fais country, j'. ?'
; There comes to the mind with
"the mention of this movement
jhe problem of
personal thrift in :!
dress. These are
questions of! more
j importance than
j might seem to bej
fche case at a casual
! glance. It cannot
ifbe denied that we
are influenced in -our
. judgment of
! others by appear-
rces. '- : ? . -
For example,1 a
j iyoung man who s
; japplymg lor a po
I teition will be at a great di sad van-,
S stage if he is slovenly attired or if ,
! is flashily over-dressed. It is
i aot the amount of money spent
'on clothes that counts ; it is the
i general impression of neatness,
cleanliness, self-respect, success, ;
tmbition and respect for the good
cpinion of others, which are con
veyed in part through the
edium of one's appareL
One of the outstanding char-'--t
Eristics of the miser, is his
slovenly, ill-kempt appearance.
One of the predominating charac
teristics of the spendthrift is his
tendency toward flashy clothes.
In this day j and age of the
world, no man, especially the
young man with his hopes and
dreams t of great
success, can afford
to neglect his per
sonal appearance.
C 1 oth e s do not
make the man, but
a good appearance
is part of one's
equipment for the
battle of life.
Any movement
now in progress
which has for its
, object merely mak
ing people spend
more money for
clothes is economically unsound,
but any educational movement
which seeks legitimately to en
courage sensible practices in these
matters is worthy of praise,
t The desire for fine clothes and
the ambition to dress better than
others have proved the secret of
many a person's downfall. But
it is within the meaning of good
thrift to dress . sensibly. ' Money
spent to maintain surh standard
is not wasted. O

tors underlying the mode of trans
mission, plague has lost its ability
to spread death and destruction
broadcast; yet until the world! can
be induced to take certain essen
tial precautions, plague will conti
nue to exist. It is only on I; the
actual ete of an outbreak that; the
public will demand active measur
es of prevention.; j
Rodent plague has been slum
bering along the Pacific coast for
a number of years. The present
outbreak of pneumonic plague in
Los Angeles emphasizes the fact
that plague stilt exists in ;this
country. ! The relation between
bubonic and pneumonic .1 plague
presumably dependent on the
variation in jthe characteristic of
the rate of bacili concerned In" a
given outbreak. The black death of
the Middle Ages is to be regarded
as plague pneumonia. It is high
ly contagious. The specific cause
is the Bacillus pestis. Infection
is produced by inoculation, inhala
tion, ingestcion or Blight mechani
cal abrasion. Rodents arc the
natural reservoirs of plague. In
fection spreads from rat to rat by
means of the flea. The infection
is caused by the flea bite. Plague
always occurs first as an epizoo
tic among rats , or other rodents
and it is usually only as the rat
population is decimated by the
ravages of the disease that the rat
flea is forced to bite man to ob
tain food. The ground squirrel
acts as a reservoir fors the rural
spread of infection, which ; may
then, be tansmitted to the more
domestic rats.
Sariitary control of plague, like,
that of most other communicable
diseases, is concerned first with
infected human beings and ani
mals. The plague bacillus does
not exist long outside of the body
and the disease is spread by the,
discharges j The prevention of
plague consists of a campaign for
the extermination of rats and ver
min, and the proper isolation of
human cases. Long range pre
ventive measures are . necessary.
All seaport towns having commu
nication with plague countries
should examine rats caught about
wharves and, other places, for
plague. - Plague may slumber, in
rats, ground squirrels and other
rodents for years ' before human
cases occur. Plague can be con
trolled effectively " by measures
directed against the rat.'
Exterminate the rat:- 1. By
starving him, through; the use of
rat-proof receptacles for food, and
covered metal garbage cans.
21 By depriving him of breed
ing places, through the abolition
of planed yards and passageways.
3. By refusing him admission
to the comfort of your buildings,
through rat-proof construction,
and screened basement openings.
4. By killing him at every op
portunity. 5. ; By demanding city anti-rat
ordinances and state anti-rat laws.
When a nickle nurser marries a
gold digger, their children .are
sure to be afflicted with the gimmes.
Sugar Crop in Philippines
Promises Better Condition
MANILA, Nov. 15 The centri
fugal sugar crop of the Philippine
Inlands for the coining season,
1924.1925, is estimated at 41S,
00 metric tons by the Philippine
Sugar association. : This' is an in
crease1 of 107,911 tons, or 34. 7 per
cent over the previous year. . In
a statement the sugar association
says': i ; . ' . ,i ;
"This is expected to be the larg
est increase j In tons shown since
the development of modern sugar
culture in the islands, although
not the largest per cent ot in
crease shown in any yeaj. The
big increase In production Will
mean much more money 4or, the
planters and better times for the
islands generally, especially if the
upward tendency of prices contin
ues. Practically every sugar cen
tral 1n the Philippines will have a
big Increase n output this year."
