Safeguard Your
Food Supplies

Many families now buy food in larg-
er quantities than usual, either to
save on the cost or to be sure of what
they want. These people should guard
carefully against rats which in one
night may destroy whole ham, sever
al dozen eggs, or damage several dol
lars worth of other foods. The only
way to prevent this is by exterminat-
ing the rats or mice and this is most
easily accomplished by using Stearns'
Paste. A small box of this paste,
which can be bought for few cents.
often exterminates a whole family of
rodents in a single night; it is also
effective with reaches and waterbugs.
