WAsHINGToN.-A bitter war 0

VIZ ASHINGTON.-A bitter war on
w the house cat has been declared
by the department of agriculture. Elk
perts in the biological bureau of that
department are making exhaustive in
vestigations of the cat as a spreader
OF disease. Already they have found
out enough to convince them that as
much danger turks in cat as in a
rat, and rats are known to be fatal
distributors of plague.
Upon the completion of these In.
vestigations efforts will be made by
the Federal authorities to have cat
license laws passed. 1t is much more
desirable, they say, to have license
for cats than license for dogs.
I'VE know that cats carry disease"
said H. W. Henshaw, chief of the bu-
reau, in discussing the fight against
tabby, but we do not know to what
extent We are practically certain
they carry diphtheria, scarlet fever
and ringworm, and we suspect they
carry tuberculosis. All this we want
to find out OF course the fight to
bring about a cat license will be a
hard one. Such a suggestion will be
scoffed at. But in time people will
come to realize what a menace cats
are. That is what we hope to do
bring the people to such a realiza-
ton"

MEET IN CONGRESS AT ROME
international Gathering of Foes of Tu-
bercuIosIs to Be Held Late In
September.

Oficial announcement c. the Seventh
international Congress on Tuberculo-
sis, which will include representatives
from every civilized country in the
world, has been made by the National
Association for the Study and Proven
ton OF tuberculosis. The congress
will be held In Rome from September
"a to 80, 1911, and will be similar In
many respects to that held In Wash
ington in the fall of 1908. The con-
gress, which meets every three years,
will be under the direct patronage Of
the king and queen of Italy
An American committee of 100 will
be appointed as the official represen-
tatives of the United States. Mean
while the National Association for the
Study and Prevention of tuberculosis
is acting In that capacity and its Office
in New York will be the headquarters
for the United States delegation. The
secretary general Of the congress is
Prof. Vittorio Ascoli of Rome.
AS a direct result of the stimulus Of
the last international congress held in
this country the American committee
will be able to report that the number
of tuberculosis agencies in this coun-
try have been tripled in thu three
years. Mere than twice as much
money is being spent in the fight
against tuberculosis by private socie-
ties and institutions, and the appropri-
atoms of federal, state, municipal and
county have increased nearly four
fold It is estimated that nearly $751;
100000 will be spent in anti-tuberculo-
ais work In 1910.
