HEALTH ADVICE

The high cost Of board and
lodging for Mr.. Rat is onesof the
big problems in economics Tor the
United States today.
Years ago. when even a rat
could get his rations and a place to
sleep at a nominal sum. a careful
survey was made of the situation.
1t developed that the rat population
kept pace with the human popula-
ton. There was a rat for every
person In the United States. Inves-
legations in feed stores, poultry
stores, the farm. etc, established
the further fact that each rat cost
each person in the United States
one-half of one cent each day.
Estimates today by experts Of
the United States Public Health
Service place the daily cost Of the
rat at M cent for each person in
the United States. or s3.s5 a year.
Just double the pre-war cost, a con-
sentative figure IL the increased
value of foodstuffs since 1910 are
taken into consideration.
