In some re- spects the rat might be regarded as a fifth columnist. It ittllades houses, stores, warehouses and markets; it destroys fabrics and leather destined for war equipment; it attacks all kids •of fond -grains', 'meats, grocer- ies and. Vegetables.. In town and country it attacks poultry, destroying :eggs and chiekens; it even damages the fotindationa :of buildings. • Every - Where it destroys Unceasingly.
