They are eating food at the _ Yate of $200,000,000 a year. "The guinea-pigs of Ellis Butler’s story have nothing on the brown rat when it comes to fecundity. It is a good thing nobody tries today to ship a pair by express unless red tape has been cut since the day that Mr. Butler’s characters tried the experiment. Anyway, the biological survey warns people against the depredation and the expense incurred to the public by the common rat. Rats are disease carriers. Typhus and bubonic plague have been transmitted by them. Coopera- tive efforts to stamp out the rat plague are rec- ommended by the survey, which also emphasizes the use of barium carbonate as an effective poison now easily obtainable.

After a Kentucky judge had fined his family doctor. $50 and costs for speeding and had sentenced him to jail for three days, he went on to say: (“You and I are friends.
