Rats and Fires.

At a time when everyone Is COM
planning of the high cost of living 1t
might be well to see If we cannot elm
tnate two great sources of waste-fires
and rats.
Most fires are needless. All rats
are so. Some years ago study Of the
rat problem in Philadelphia arrived at
the conclusion thnt the rodents of that
city ate more than million dollars
worth Of food each year. At that rate.
the disgusting creatures can hardly
cost less than $1OO,OOO,OOO per year
to the whole country. This is pref
ty high price to pay for the compan-
i0nship of impish pests which, besides
their other bad habits. undermine
floors and carry the most dreaded Of
all diseases. bubonic plague.
Yet fires are more expensive than
rats In 1915-the last year for which
figures are at hand-the American
people paid out in premiums for fire
Insurance $410,361 BAG OF this vast
sum Mt least thrce-fourths could be
saved by reducing our fire record to
the rate prevailing In England, France
or Germany; and even in our time and
nation $500, 100000 per year is saw
ing worth noting, and one which
would have a perceptible effect on the
cost of living.
