Cats Banished From a Hospital.
Commercial Tribune.

From the Cincinnati commercial tribune.
As a sanitary precaution the hundred or
more cats which now infest the City Hos
pital must go. The edict was sent forth
after a conference of learned men, who de-
cided that Pussy and her big brother Tom
may be responsible for the spreading of dis
ease i'm the hospital. The cats, originally
some twenty In number were introduced
in the hospital several months ago. when a
plague of rats overran the place and fright
ened the patients nearly out of their wits.
The rats are gone. through the agency of
a professional rat catcher. but the cats are
present and thriving wonderfully. Instead
of twenty, 1t is now said the number will
exceed a hundred. The doctors say that
too many cats are a menace to the public
health. They argue that some intermedi-
AIRY. perhaps the cat flea. passes from beast
to man. and vice versa. and In this way dis
ease is spread. superintendent Fehrenbatch
has no regret In giving up the cats. He
says they will make an excellent consign-
ment of -boarders at the Rescue Home for
Small Animals being snrted in Cincinnati
IL they are not wanted there they will be
taken to the country and turned at large.

Not only women of naturally peppery

held by the advocates of vegetarianism to
influence the character for the better as
