general habits of cats thoroughly.
There are lots Of fallaclous 'he.
cries regarding the usefulness ol
cats" says DR.. Fisher las matter
If fact they do almost no good ana
great deal of harm. The difficulty IN
following the question of the extent
to which they carry disease is meas
ured by the difficulty of following ,he
cat. And yet there is no DOUBT III 'he
world that many child who, Tor no
annarent reason and from no discern

iberia or scarlet fever owes its illness
and often it's death to the cat II HAS
been fondling. Moreover, cats are d.
snsceptible to hydrophobia as dogs.
THE highly pampered pet cat o.
the luxurious household never lall'
to get out and roam around with Tilt
ordinary alley cat. In many instance
the alley cat, which prowls all nigh
long with the pet cat has spent ID

an alley where smallpox d1ph'heri
