Does The Business
San FrnnclBco, Jan. 30 Wnr on
tho rnt, which heretofore has ben
carried on 4n a desultory manner,
was inaugurated in earnest today,
poisons and traps being set out by
thousands of householders, store
keepers, stnblo owners and others, as
we'.l aa 1y tho regular corps of rat
catchers in -tho health department.
Owing to tho lack of publicity glvon
the cxistonco In this city of bubonic
plague, tho public failed to respond
In proper manner to tho requests of
tho health officers to aid in the cam
paign of extermination, but the pub
lished statement of Dr. Blue, of tho
marlno hospital corps, who is In
chnrud of tho plague, situation, to
tho offoct that there would bo an ep
idemic hero when tho warm weath-
or coraeB unless tho rats wero exter
minated, and tho city cleaned up
otherwise, .has nrousoJ tho people 'If
tho gravity ot tho situation. Whilo
tho spread of tho plaguo has been
chockoU, Dr. Dluo declared that In
fection among rats Is so groat as to
cauBO alarm. Ho pointed out thnt
In cities where tho mortality duo to
plaguo is tho greatost, the por cent
age of rat infection is two, whereas
the prosont Infection found In rats
in this city is 1 per cont.
There was a porfoot run on tho
hardwaro shops today by seekers af
ter traps and druggists wero ulmost
overwhelmed by purchasers of rat
poisons.. Tho war will bo kept up
unrolontlngly and It is oxpootod that
by tho time the battleship fleet ar
rives tho city will be In a thoroughly
santary condition.

comoa an aotlvo issue today, Is one
of the hardest nuts that the Ntw

to craok. On one side is that part
of the public that is opposed to horse
racing, and on the other is the now
