be "decatulated" Il the ''mariars" and
toms" Of the burg. continue to give up
the ghost in any. such numbers as is
being reported daily to the Board OF

The epidemic. Of feline deaths began
in July and from the 10th OF that
month to to-day 100 poor "mousers"
have shunled off this mortal coil and
departed for the Cats Happy housing

After a searching investigation into
the cause OF death and several post
mcrtem examina atoms one OF the
Health officers puts himself on record
as OF the opinion that poor pussie
died from feas" would be the proper
coroner's verdict in most cases.
Worried by these pesky little critters
the victims get thin and sick, fail 10
eat and finally crawl away into a back
lot or the weeds in some field and die
of starvation.
The last wish Of these poor felines
no doubt Is that in cat Heaven there
will be no heas and plenty OF mice.
II the death rate continues 20 in
crease there is a strong likelihood Of
cat fur becoming the popular fur Of
the winter in the city. as some very
fine "tabbies' OF all kinds and sizes
are leaving this lonely vale Of tears
and bulldogs.
