In advicating a campaign to stamp out the rat Dr. Bowen said the germ-bearing rodent, coupled with the influences of environment, was responsible for the existence of the pneumonic plague which last week devastated the Mexican quarter of Los Angeles and resulted in the death of a score of persons who contracted the disease at the funeral of the first victim. Pneumonic plague is similar to the more common bubonic plague in its symptoms, Dr. Bowen said, the victim being first aware of it by the the presence of severe pains under arm pits and small lumps beneath the skin, which precede infection of the lungs. A serum derived from the plague organism itself if administered while the disease is in its first stage, sometimes is effective. The high mortality rate in New Orleans when that city and other sections of the South were swept by an epidemic is attributed to the 1 hordes of disease-breeding rats which infested the waterfront, Dr. Bowen said. "Rats literally are messengers of death, and constitute the greatest danger to the health of the human race. Virtually all plagues,: 'such as that which devastated London in the sixteenth century, and the comparatively minor outbreak last week in California are traceable to the infected rodent. "Of course, environment influences the mortality rate, and the plague usually claims the majority of its victims from the slums and tenement districts where rats abound." wmmmmmm # m m 1 i m m Sincere Service m When death ¦visits, your home let us relieve you of all the details of the funeral 1 m m m -&.

"Kicking Down "an Oil Well THOSE ot the oil pioneers who could not afford to drill a well by roachinci used the "kicking down" method. A pole of ash or hickory was fastened a one end to work over a support. To the other end was fastened a til tin/ platform, by which the motion of two or three men was made to jeik the spring pole up and down. This motion in turn slightly raised and lowered the drilltn, tools, attached to the pole, which worked inside a wooden .tube. The stroke were rapid, and a sand pump--a spout three inches in diameter, with a hinged bo« torn and a valve working on a sliding rod-removed the borings by sucking then into the spout at each quick upward jerk, q The "kicking down" method w* not for weaklings! The next step toward better power was the use of horsts. ai then, in I860, the steam engine came into general use.
