Uncle Sans Bug Sleuths After Cats

the house cat. He has been studying
the question for years and knows the
general habits OF cats thoroughly.
There are lots of fallacious tho
ories regarding the usefulness OF
cats" says Or. Fisher "As a matter
of fact they do almost no good and a
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 the
cat And yet there is no doubt in the
world that many child who. for no
apparent reason and from no discern
ible cause, develops a case Of diph-
iberia or scarlet fever owes its illness
and often its death to the cat 1t has
been fondling. Moreover, cats are as
susceptible to hydrophobia as dogs.
The highly pampered pet cat of
the luxurious household never fails
to get out and roam around with the
ordinary alley cat. In many instances
the alley cat, which prowls all night
long with the pet cat. has spent tho
day sleeping in some hut or hovel in
an alley where smallpox. diphtheria
or tuberculosis is hid.
Recently there has been much at
tention paid to rats and the harm
they do, both as destroyers and as
spreaders Of disease. In this connec-
ton the cat has been pointed out as
a valuable aid in keeping down the
rat. That is an error.
81 can state from my personal ob-
servation that only about 8 per cent
OF cats are really mousers. | have
seen cats that would tackle the big
gest rat going and kill him. but such
instances are rare. AS a rule a cat
cares little for a conflict with rat

even millenniums. of conservatism In
customs and speech, the barrier to en-.
lightenment has been broken down
by the Young Turks, and men of en-
terprise have been invited to enter
Palestine-so long held in bondage by
the late sultan-and to form It into a
modern and progressive country.
With the entry of civilization and
modern culture the many peculiar
customs which have been observed
since the days of the patriarchs. and
the poetical speech OF the natives

the smallest actions Of their life the
people rehearse Biblical scenes OF the
days of the patriarchs and speak to
each other in the poetical phraseology
OF the Psalmist and the prophets,
quite unconsciously.

AUDITORIUM-The unprecedented
has happened in San Francisco-Maud
Allan's two extra return dates at the
Valencia theater in that city were sold
out in one day. Never before in the
history of theatricals has such thing
occurred where the ceating capacity OF
an auditorium numbers over 2300.
Through the extra San Francisco and
Los Angeles engagement, Miss Allan
cancelled her reservation on the
Mauretania, leaving New York, May
IL, and agreed to appear at two more
performances in Los Angeles, as well
as in San Francisco, to meet the de-
mand of hundreds of women and resi-
dents of the suburban districts who
were unable to attend the perform
ances given in Los Angeles before.
The first return date will be a mati-
nee at the Auditorium on the after
noon of Friday, May 6, giving special
request program, with additional
! dances not given in this city before.
The Saturday night program is to be
one of big numbers and famous Of
| ferings.
To those who witnessed Miss Allan
before, the cleVerness of her work has
appealed in such a delightful manner
that they are all advance agents for
her return. The orchestra numbers
are being carefully selected, rehearsals
are now on, and the two closing per-
formances of the Maud Allan company
will undoubtedly be the banner ones
of her engagement in this city.
ELASCO-"The Price" will be con-
tinued for another week at the Belasco,
beginning Monday night. This new
Broadhurst play has scored the most
nrofound sensation that the local Bel
asco stage has ever known, and since
the first performance, when Mr.. Broad
hurst revealed new and hitherto un-
suspected powers as a dramatist, the

diences that have manifesto great en-.
