A rat can distinguish between two kinds of food, may prefer one to the other or shun both. Put three kinds of victuals before a rat and it will confusedly gobble all. Applying this principle, Ratkiller Nicholes was busily ridding Chicago-temporarily, at least-of several million of its rats. Last week, his work done, he left for St. Louis...
