THE RATSOF CHICAGO
Five Rodent« to Every One of the
City’« Population.

When the Englishman who recently
wrote a bird book called the sparrow
the avian rat, doubtless hr had the
great numbers of the birds in mind as
well as their rodeut-like habit» of life.
Yet, us a matter of fact, the sparrows,
though in multitude they are like the
leave* on the trees before the army
worm* arrived, ure in reality fr.r less
numerous in this lug city than are the
great gray rats. There are in ( hicago
probably about five rata for every man,
woman and child within the city’s con
fines.
Rats are rrpulsive at best, and nearly
everybody is afraid of them. Possibly
not much cheer will l»e derived from
this statement that there air living In
and about the city’s houses, stores and
waste places some 10,0(X),<)00 of these
cruel toothed, sleek, sharp-eyed crea
tures.
The rat probably has more enemies
than any other animal on earth. It»
|Mkr»ecutors, animate and inanimate,
come in the form of poison, traps, cat«,
dogs, birds, ferrets and men. Some or
all of these agents are at work con
stantly, and yet the city rat thrives,
waxes fat and raises a large family.
It is usserted by authorities that ( hi
cago has more rats in proportion to ita
riae than uny other city on earth. The
conditions here are peculiarly adapted
to the preservation of the species.
Under the wooden sidewalks, which are
still to be found at places even in the
heart of the city, the ruts haxe a haven
of refuge. When driven from buildings
by cats or by ferrets kept for the pur-
|M»se, the Chicago rat makes straight
for the nearest wooden pavement and
under it digs a burrow. The rat is a
true gamin sharp, cunning and, when
necessity requires it, Ixdd. Boldness is
the Chicago rat’s birthright, for in its
veins flows \ iking blood, (hbngo's
rat cHiue from Norway, ant? its first act
was to kjl!
drive out all the black rats
whiCn xvvrV ijtdigenoUB to the Aim r
ican soil.
if anyone should wonder why it is
that despite nil ita enemies the city rat
manages to increase in numbers he may
satisfy his curiosity and gam wisdom
at the same time by taking a spade and
digging out a rat hide at almost any
time between Mmy h 1 and October 1
These months arc the family retiring
times, and during this period three
broods are sent out by « aeh old pair to
begin their predatory existence.
If Iht* man with the spade succeeds
in reaching the end of the hoh* he will
uncover a family of young rodents
which never numbers less than ten and
frequently exceeds If» members. Tak
ing 12 nestlings us the average family ,
each good healthy pair of t In* whiskered
gray ruts will present to the world each
y ea r 3ft of their kind. Now on a Imais of
ft,(MM) ,000 puira of rats it will be seen
that each year there is added to the rat
population of ( hicago something like
1X0,000,000 of young rodents.
In the face of these figures it ceases
to be a cause of surprise Hint poison
and cats and other things cannot en
tirely do away with the city’s rat pest.
It is a matter of congratulation to the
citizens of ( hicago that the cuts and
other rat enemies do the work ns will
ns they do, otherwise the rat iiriny
would not content itself with a com
missariat of bread, meat and cheese
and scraps, but would turn, attack mid
subsist on the ( hicago citixrn himself.

•'I had Ecsema thirty year«, and after a rreat deal

six years I have suffered untold agony and had given up
all hope of ever being free from toe disease, a. I have
been treated by some of the best physicians and have
taken many biood medicines, all in vain. With little
faith left 1 began to take S. 8 8 , and it apparently
made the Ecsema worse, but I knew that thi. was the
way the remedy got rid of the poison. Continuing

clear and smooth, apd I was cured perfectly."

Mr. H. N. Warner, of Kearney,
Neb., says:
"In 1894 I vxi n. icked with
paralysis in my 1:1 s.de. You
might stick a pin to the head
into my left hip and I would not
feel it. I was unable to do any
kind of work, and had to be turned
in bed. I fully made up my mind
that I could not be cured, as I had
used all kinds of medicine an : had
tried many doctors. At last I
was advised to try Dr. Williams’
Pink Pills for Pale People, and I
very reluctantly commenced their
use last September. Before I had
finished my first box I l>egan to
feel much better, and by the time
I had used six boxes the paralysis
disappeared; and although two
months have passed since I finished
my last box, there has been no re
currence of the disease."
