The commonest rat shelters are dead spaces between walls and beneath floors. Firestop-ping- , or sealing such walls by fitting sheet metal between the joists and nailing it to the sill is effective in closing that type of rat shelter. Other common rat shelters are, as everyone knows, bins and boxes and bags where produce is stored; also lumber piles and piles of trash and refuse. Trash and waste should, of course, not be allowed to accumu- late, but should be burned at once, and stored materials should be eleI ':: 'iKas,Vm .to feet. vated at least 1 Since food is one of the things which the rat must have, it is important to cut off his supplies.

The first objection may be overcome by using as mild a poison t as possible and by using great care i in choosing . the places where the poison is placed, and the second by g using a very poison. PREPARING A POISON BAIT One of the best poisons to be used jcsa for the purpose is barium carbonate ! (precipitated). This is a heavy. white, mineral salt, only mildly poi sonous, tasteless, odorless, slow in J 4 action, and inexpensive. Neverthe less it must be used with some care for, if taken in sufficient Quantities. i it is fatal to cats, dogs, chickens, and even to larger animals. The barium carbonate should be thoroughly incorporated with a soft cereal (bread, corn meal, rolled oats), cr into meats such as hamburger sr steak or sardines, or into apples, J melons, or tomatoes. Any of these 1 f i" will attract the rodents. The bait should be freshly prepared and should be distributed in teaspoonfuls in all places where the rats are known to feed.

OthCars er compounds, such as creosote, carbolic acid, other coal and wood tar derivatives, kerosene, and the oils of peppermint and winter green are objectionable to rats and are frequently used to drive or keep the rodents out. Certain other compounds, such as copperas, powdered sulphur, lime and lye are effective. 1 M.Jli... ol Am-bridg- e, Brother Patriots British Indian Defenders of Burma Mm? v Tw 3 rn i. 1 , Mubv... g: Commission Light Cruiser Times Torpedoed Juan feu Altf " v t m, "t Wfci W 1 " 1 slow-actin- fellf feUJ lli ok.' r 1i M1 e Y 1.
