We Must -Combat'
Menace of Rats.
Dr.. Arthur Gibson, Dominion .En-
tomologist;: 'emphasize's that the
common brown or house rat must
still be regarded as man's greatest
enemy in the. animal world, not-..
withstanding statements which
have been made that this rat is
probably •lecreasing in numbers..
It 'invades houses, stores, ware-
houses find markets and besides
destroying fabrics and leather

, 'grains, meats, groceries, fruits,
vegetables, and in short everything
eatable. In ' town and. country it.
attacks the poultry;, destroying the
eggs, atid chickens. Even •fl1 foun=
dations of buildings, also, are
aged by its activities. In its. wide-
.
spread • distribt.`'on, the rates=
troys unceasingly,. and yet; its pres-
once is too often tolerated.
Best Methods o'Control
'The monetary value of the dam..-
age' dobe by rats in Canada is en-
ormous.' To prevent this damage
rats should be denied access' to, the,
• places where.they obtain food and
• rear. their young. That is, every.
building. -should be made rat -proof.
This would e• tall .,readeptien; and
enforcement. of sanitary conditions
by civic and health authorities and
the institution, of a continuous Do-
minion -wide community campaign:
Use Honey. And
Vary l Your Diet
All sorts of medicinal and health
qualities have been• claimed for
honey, often .without much basis
in 'fact: It is not especially laxative
taken in ordinary amounts. It' is
not any easier 'to 'digest than' other'
sugars. It is no better for a diabe-
tic than 'ether'Sugar-a =
-Honey should therefore be cho-
T , se'n as a delicacy because of its
taste and appearance, and because
it becomes possible by its use, oto
vary the diet, and thus increase
the appetite: Unquestionably the
alipetite may frequgntly be -improv-
ed by variations in the taste' and
appearance of feed.
