RAT

a most destructive pest and one which should be vigorously exterminated. If a grocer finds his store over-run with them, he should get rid of them at once, for their destructiveness to property is astounding. A good cat is the best remedy. Good traps will also often answer the purpose. If poison is used and any of them die about the premises, chloride of lime or other disinfectants will neutralize the odor.
