Rats  are  the  most  cunning  beasts  known.  They  will  eat  anything  but 
poison.  They  will  go  anywhere  except  in  a  trap.  But  Rid-of-Ruts  (Non- 
Poisonous)  gels  them  every  lime.  So  delicious  to  Rats  arid  Mice  that  they 
go  for  it  like  Ilics  for  molasses.  Clears  this  destructive  pest  in  short 
order  from  houses,  corn  cribs,  grain  bins,  poultry  houses,  stables,  etc. 
Harmless  to  ifomcsiic  animals.  To  clear  u  farm,  figure  at  the  rate  of  3 
Cents  per  lo  re;  once  cleared  1  com  per  acre  per  year  will  keep  It  clear. 
Give  Eid-ot-Ruts  a  trial.  If  it  doesn't  do  all  we  claim,  simply  write  us, 
and  back  comes  the  money.  If  your  dealer  can't  supply  you,  order  direct
