THE INTELLIGENCE OF THE RAT
The extraordinary intelligence ascribed to rats may be a true attribute of tint animal, and if so, our work will develop into a true battle of wits (writes th» Health Department). More especially is this so when the rat is associated with a positive danger now close to our doors —tjie horrible plague. No stone nrust be left unturned. Trapping and poisoning will not succeed unless all other avenues of food supply are closed to our enemies. Everyone, is obliged to use an efficient rubbish tin with a properly fitting lid. Poison or trap—but kill the rat. Poison, may be obtained free from the City' Council.
