Another old Tradition auashed

We all remember grotesque and ghast- lv stories. vividly related and eagerly swallowed, about cats killing babies by ..suckin gtheir breaths,' says Dr. Woods Hutchinson in an article on the dread of cats. snakes and mice in Success Maga- zine The sole basis for the belief ap- hears to be a few scattered instances of children having been found dead in bed with A cat in the room. lnasmuch as there are several rare conditions which may produce sudden death In young children. without previous warning, not abIv swellings of the thymus gland, and a cat is as much a part of the ordinary furniture of most houses as chair, the reIat ton between the death of child and the presence of cat is obviously no more than could be accounted for as a coincidence Cats. like "Misther Casey" are "epicures in schlapin." and very fond of soft. warm beds, and this may lead them to curl up in a baby's cradle. If tbe baby happens to be very young or weak. or the cat unusually heavy and 1t should curl up on the baby's chest, the childs respiration might be seriously interfered with. But unless the cat lay rieht over it's mouth and the baby was so feeble. or so swathed or bound down that if could neither cry out nor get its arms loose, 1t is almost inconceivable that any serious, let alone fatal, suffoca' ton could occur.
