DETERMINATION can not be successful
unless there is close cooperation oil

DR.. Andrews urges three methods oil
eliminating rats They are
Fret protection OF foodstuffs by
keeping all foodstuffs and feeds from
Second, by trapping.
Third. by poisoning.
Dr. Andrews says, however. that tht
records show that the determination OF
rats by poisoning has proven a failure
In intensive campaigns for the eXtermi.
nation Of the rodents In San Francisco
and New orleans.
The economic loss from rats In the
United States, Or. Andrews says,
amounts TO almost billion dollars.
