Owing to the ravages of bubonic plague in Argentina and the 

 impossibility of preventing its spread as long as rats are allowed to 

 breed on the quays where food materials are deposited, a project

 installation of depositories for cereals. The National Department of 

 Hygiene has for a long time been aiming at improvement of the con- 

 ditions of depositories at the ports, railway stations, and in agricultural 

 districts. Many iUustrations are given of hygienic and rat-proof 

 buildings.

 It is considered most probable that the disease has existed in the
