Costs $180,000,000 to Support Rats in Country Each Year, Statistics Show.
Start National Campaign.
    There is a rat for every person in the United States.
    If every man, women and child was to make his and her financial prorata contribution to what these hundred million or more rats exceed for upkeep annually. On this basis the United States pays its rats about $180,000,000 every year which would build and maintain a university or keep Mexico satified for a long time.
    The United States Public Health service has figured this out and issues these and many more rat facts in a brochure that calls upon all Americans who are fond of hearth to enlist in the government’s war against the Norway or brown rat, the common black rat and the Alexandrian rat, who is a particularly mean beast of untidy habits and a native disreguard for the most elemental niceties of life.
    Under “Rout the Rat” the Public Health service issues the following anti-rat rules.
Rout The Rat!
    By starving him through the use of rat proof receptacles for food and covered metal garbage cans.
    By refusing him admission to the comfort of your buildings through rat proof construction and sealed basement openings.
    By killing him at every opportunity.
    By demanding city anti-rat ordinances and state anti-rat laws.
