half a cent daily. Based on this calculation of average plundering
it is shown that no léss asum than $167,000,000 is sacrificed annually
by reason of rat depredations. The rat is simply a scourge with no SEPTEM BER
redeeming qualities. He eats as heavily into the means of subsist-

to the public treasury. A few million dollars spent in a system atized
war of rat extermination in which every community should take
part, employing every known death-dealing device compatable with
public safety, would be one sure way of reducing the cost of living.
