Better Care Of AnimaIs

Lovers OF animals will be glad
to hear that the Department OF
Agriculture has found q way to
enforce the so-callcd twenty
eight hour law" which requires
railroad companies to unload cat
tie from tho ears In which they
are transported, give them water
and a rest OF i've hours once In
every period Of twenty-eight
hours. For some time the law has
been virtually a dead letter. The
railroad companies In general,
pursuing the course which wa s
most convenient or most profitable
have paid thei: fines without com
plant and broken the law again .
Now, however, the Department Of
Agriculture has adopted the plan
Of bringing civil suits for damages
In the name and for the benefit OF
the United States. Papers fixing
damages at $500 In each case have
been prepared In 1900 suits agains /

ready to compromise tho claims
