RATS RELISH ALLEGED POISON
Experiments Prove FaIIacy of Ad-
vertisements.

Nerttsemente.
Prof David z LantZ. expert at the
Biological Survey, has been conducting
more experiments to test the efficacy OF
rat poison
He went to a rat cage at the survey
yesterday morning. and where he should
have found, according to the advertise
ment. two dozen dead rats he discovered
that the occupants were very much alive
and squeaing with hunger. the sure
enough ,exterminator having but served
as an appetizer.
Prof. Lantz has carried on several like
experiments with these rats, who have
eaten so much poison that nothing short
OF strychnine and bichlOride will give
them even a passing pain.
The rats in question constitute a large
majority Of the two families born last
MAY. In spite Of the many poisonous
doses which they have taken. twenty
four veterans, hale and hearty, are still
game and looking for more.
The food which proved 10 be such a
tonic 10 the rats was advertised in the
following terms;
This food Is the greatest invention of
the age. After eating H. and he must eat
II II he has a chance. the biggest and
boldest rat will lie down to a dreamless
sleep. Responding to the insidious power
OF the food as II passes through his arte-
ries and into the capillaries Of his system,
the tissues harden and the body OF Mr.
Rat becomes impervious to the attacks OF
decomposition.
The body Of a rat killed by this food
may lie forever within the walls OF your
house without giving out the slightest
odor. We will give s. reward Tor any rat
which. after being killed by this food
remains in the walls Of the house and
emHs bad odors"
