IS DREADED MALADY
From time Immemorial the very
mention of plague has struck terror
to the hearts of mankind In practical-,
ly every land and nation of the globe.'
W ith the establishment of Interna­
tional travel the tragedy of plague
began. No other disease of man has
ever assumed the alarming propor­
tions of this one dread malady that
could, when enshrouded In medieval
superstition, decimate one-fourth of
(he entire population of the known
world.

plague has lost Its ability to spread

until the world can be Induced to
take certain essential precautions,
plague will continue to exist. It ta
only on tha actual eve of an out­
