THE RAT, n. - The Rat Is an Ally to the Kaiser. ' (Utah Public Health Association) To kill the rat Is a patriotic duty. The V. 3. Department of Agriculture is distributing thousands of posters calling call-ing attention to the destructlveness of the rat and urging a war of extermination extermina-tion upon him. In the interest of the conservation of health and life, the conservation of food, and the conservation conser-vation of natural resources, every rat should be destroyed. He serves no useful purpose. He Is cowardly and filthy. To feed such a creature Is bad enough, but he destroys ten times as much as he eats. "By spreading fatal diseases the rat has killed more people than bullets have. He is Just as filthy and dangerous danger-ous as ever," says the government poster. H)e is "the most destructive and dangerous of animal pests. While America is trying to feed the allies this pest annually destroyes foodstuffs . worth $200,000,000." ; "Rats," says another authority, "destroy "de-stroy grain while growing; invade stores, destroy flowers, laces, silks, carpets; eat fruits, vegetables, meat, etc., in the market; destroy by pollution pollu-tion ten times as much as they eat; cause conflagration by dragging matches Into their holes; gnaw lead pipes and floors of houses; ruin artificial arti-ficial ponds and embankments by burrowing; bur-rowing; destroy eggs and young poultry; poul-try; damage foundations, floors, doors, piers; in ''rt, they have become the vort mammalian pest among us." Rats are chiefly responsible for the spreed of the dreaded bubonic plague. I Trichinosis, uscally contracted by man through eating raw or undercooked pork, would probably soon disappear if rats were eradicated around slaughter houses, butcher shops, hog pens and bimllar places. Rats frequent garbage cans, sewers, dumps, etc., and then visit our storehouses, pan'.rles and kitchens. In this way they convey typhoid and probably other maladies, "Poison rats! Trap rats! Never let one go! Make houses, stores, granaries, gran-aries, elevators rat-proof." C Many a happy home in this city can trace its prosperity to the want ad. page. Out of employment?
