An organiaed trafLie in DOES and cats

An organized traffic in dogs and cats
has been discovered in Duchess county,
New York, for the purposes of vivisection.
The dogs go to the Vassar college medi-
cal laboratory and the CATS are killed and
skinned before being shipped. This is the
report Of the wires from Poughkeepsie,
but it is a little difficult to understand
how dead cats can be of any use to vivi-
