June 26 Was there f ever or will there ever be a bet ter time to wage a war of ex termtnaion against the plague spreader, the raf And if we could be assured there would rever be an other case of this awful disease de veloped within the borders of Texas the extermination of rats would still be well worth while, because of the vast amount of grain and food they eat and destroy, including poultry, besides the damage they do to build La Salle county, alone, reports that rata and mice are to be found by the millions and are doing great damage to growing crops, cutting down corn, cane, et&, and making a clean sweep of meJons and cantaloupes. The state board of health is urging tliat ail Join hands In a statewide crusad, and that not a atone be left unturned to completely eliminate rats from Texas 'and thus remove the pos sibility of the spread of bubonic plague In the future.

Then why not clean up the communi ties and quH. feeding and raising rats, thereby applying preventive meas ures Other precautions may be taken such as rat-proofing build ings, which should be done at the time the building is erected. Dogs, cats and traps may be employed also. According to reports reaching the state board of health about 20 Texas towns already have begun a campaign against rats. Plague is primarily a disease of the rat and secondarily of man. The dis ease Is generally transmitted from rat to rat and from rat to man throuh the agencies of the flea. Fats are great travelers and have carried plagues to all parts of the globe. An Infected rat sepreted In a cargo in the hold of a ship or in a box car may take the disease Into the town at its point of destination- The nreventlon of plague naturally resolves itself Into a war upon these rodents. The measures for repression and destruc tion of rats are as follows. Rat-Proof Building. Hats admitted to a build in cr In trench themselves and are most dif ficult to dislodge. The lower Darts of buildings, to make them rat proof, should be either built out of con crete or reen forced with metal to keep the rata from gnawing through.

Appreciation and honors for the United States because of some wise diplomatic move are foreshadowed. Danger or accident to American women traveling In Europe is indi cated.

All water and drain pipes should be surrounded wl h concrete. Rats find wooden side walks a retreat, and these sidewalks should be replaced with concrete. Well fed rats mature quickly, breed often and have large litters. Scarc ity of food helps to suppress them. All garbage should be placed In well cov ered garbage cans and the garbage frequently removed and burned. Products In a warehouse may be pro tected with wire cages. Perhaps the cheapest and most ef fective poison is barium carbonate. This may be made into a dough with four parts of meal or flour to one part of barium carbonate. Other poi sons are strychnine, arsenic and phosphorus. Killed by Sulphur Fumes Rats may be killed with certainty In any Inclosed structure by the use of sulphur dioxide, carbon bfsulphid, hydrocyanic add gas or carbon mo noxide. Sulphur dioxide is particu larly useful to destroy rats on board ships, in cellars, on ralway cars, stables, sewers and other places which are not Injured by the corro sive sulphur fumes. No less than three potmds of sulphur should be burned for each 100 cubic feet of space. Suspicious cases of bubonic plague having developed at Galveston, many inquiries are being received by the state health department for informa tion as to the symptoms of this dis ease. Dr. C w Goddard, state health of ficer, has prepared a brief diagnosis of the disease. History of the patient having come from an Infested dis trict within two to ten da. s previ ously: High fever; extreme prostra tion, coma or delirium; enlargement of the lymphatic glands, usually In the femoral or Iguinal region, but oc casionally in the axilla, elbow or in the angle of the jaw.

Plans are betns made to entertain a laree crowd, according to C. Phillips, representing the committee. M O:DAY, JTJXB 8, 190. NEPTUNE rules strongly for good this day, while Saturn and Uranus are adverse. The plans tary rule Is held to Impart vision and sound judgment. Although Saturn and Uranus exer cise sinister power likely to be re vealed In underestimating the achieve ments of men and women, Neptune gives power to foresee events ac cording to logical sequence. When the planet supposed to rule the sea Is well aspected. it Is believed that persons who wield power may be directed to do the right thing. Since Neptune is supposed to govern the base of understanding, the rule Is especially favorable for decisions that Involve great responsibilities. Uranus opposed to Saturn threatens new troubles In dockyards. Railway difficulties are prognosti cated and a strike may cause grave results, owing to midsummer condi tions. The imperative need of extreme cleanliness is emphasized by astrolo gers who foretell danger of epidemics during the hot weather, especially those that affect the digestive tracts, fevers and nervous disorders. Horses will gain favor among the wealthy, who will revive an ancient fashion. Theaters continue under a sway puzzling to the seers, since they ap pear to enter more and more into the national life and yet to be subject to some great changes that will involve sweeping reforms. There Is a sign read as foreshadow ing an educational reform that will insure widespread benefits to the poor. Women and children are now sub ject to a direction of the stars mak ing for protective measures of many sorts. Persons whose blrthdate it Is should not travel or remove. They should attend strictly to business, which will then be successful. Children born on this day will be gifted and endowed with traits that should win success.

As To this year's celebration, so far, there la no indication that we are going to celebrate at alL I did see that i there was to be some auto racing In Juarez; a fitting event, a display In a foreign country to commemorate our greatest national holiday. Just the other day one of our leas Important holldaya was celebrated with a large parade and a grand dis play of fireworks.
