Do Something for the Boys.

: Secretary Shaw makes few tersa
remarks every little while on THE
Boy" The Secretary is pretty sure to
make the friendship of boys generally
because he talks directly to fathers
when he says that boys want the COM
panionship Of boys and that the home
should welcome the boy as much as 1t
does the baby and the man. Secretary
Shaw calls attention to the fact that
the world is producing a higher type OF
womanhood than of manhood; that
there are more young women whom
you would welcome to your homes as
daughters-in-law than young men
whom you would welcome as sons-in-
law. He says there is no excuse for
this, although there are reasons
among which is that about the only
place where the boy is sure Of a cordial
greeting is where you do not desire
him to 60.

CAT CANNOT SUCK BREATH. 4

Old Superstition IL Upset by the
Highest Medical Authorities.
Can a cat really suck the breath of a
child?
We have always heard that it could.
Away back in early childhood we dis
tinctly remember of frequent warn
ings to look out for the cat. Do not
allow the cat to get into bed with the
baby, as it is liable to suck the baby's
breath, which would cause the baby to
die
Is there any foundation for such q
notion as this? We never could dis
cover any real meaning to the belief
that a cat can suck the breath of a
child. Indeed, the sentence is totally
unintelligible.
What is meant by sucking the
breath? 1t may be true that the cat
attracted by the breath of a child
who had recently been nursing, might
attempt to interfere in some manner
with the child's mouth. In young cats
the impulse to nurse might be excited
by the smell of the child's breath.
1t Is barely possible that the cat might
be seized with desire to bite or to de-
YOUR the childs lips or tongue, lured
in a position to deny these possibili-
ties. Maybe they are true.
But not any of these suppositions
furnish basis for the statement that
the cat is liable to suck the childs
breath. We have always heard this
statement with shudder of horror.
1t seems to convey some weird, hor-
rible tragedy that can hardly be imag-
ined. But it is mere fancy, the Ori-
gin of which is hard to explain.
Yet we would advise mothers to be
careful about leaving the infant with
cat. We do not favor the idea of
cats sleeping with children. Nor do
we favor the practice of children play
ing with cats, handling them. mopping
them around the floor, fondling them,
dressing them up as dolls. 1t is not
good for the cat. 1t is not good for
the child. Neither cats nor dogs ought
to be treated in this manner. They are
all right in their place, but they are
not fit for playthings.
If the superstition that cat can
suck a child's breath has operated as a
preventive to mothers allowing their
children to play with cats it has served
n very good purpose. but such childish
notions are hardly compatible with ma
ture reflection. 1t is one of the old
wives fables which may have served
a good purpose, but it is too ridiculous
for repetition. There are other and
better reasons why the cat and baby
should not be left together than the
vague, unintelligible fear that the cat
will suck the child's breath.-Medical
Talk.
