Cleveland Dec. T.-That cats spread
tuberculosis ana are menace to the
family was declared yesterday by Dr.
w. l.. Enser of Lakewood. who within
the last six months has conducted moro
than hundred post mortem examina-
tons of felines.
I'VE spend thousands Of dollars erect
ing hospitals for victims OF tuberculosis
and In killing rats to prevent the spread
Of disease, but In the common house cat
we have an enemy more dangerous than
any other known agent in transferring
disease among human beings" said the
doctor.
Among Or. Enser's patients was the
head of "A family who was afflicted with
tuberculosis From the history of the
case. the doctor was convinced that the
family cat had brought the disease 10 the
house. As result he made an nvesti-
cation, procuring hundred or more cats,
which he killed and examined.
81 found In all Of them germs Of
tuberculosis" he declared. "Of course
not all the cats we're in the last stages
of the disease, although at least 30 per
cent. of them were in serious condi-
ton.
81 venture to say that every one Of
them had enough germs TO make IT a
danger to any household Cats proWl
around in various places, and thus carry
the germs with them"

EXCHANGING CHRISTMAS

About ten per cent. Of Christmas pre-
sents are brought back for exchange,
said a state street merchant. THE rea-
son for this IS that many gft SiNrrs do
not inquire into the wants of those to
whom they make presents.
THE first day of business after Christ
mas is a big one at the larger stores
but the sales do not amount to much in
proportion to the goods that are taken
