they were not being constantly slaughtered

Why Science Has BlaCkIisted Pussy

bTFHAT cats are the worst of frauds and do
mankind more harm than good is one
OF the latest edicts Of science. The
sprightly kittens and staid old tabby cats
which for ages the human race has ranked
among its best friends have oil been placed
on the blacklist along with the horses which
the automobile has displaced and the dogs
which New York City's Health Commissioner
declares unfit for civilized communities.
According to the Biological Survey. the Blu.
reau Of the Department of Agriculture. which
has been investigating the claims of all sorts
OF animals to our consideration. the cat has
been tolerated altogether too long. We have
been deceived into thinking that 1t is q very
useful creature when. as matter Of fact Il is
doing all that any animal could, and more
than most animals do. to destroy our health
wealth and happiness.
The cats case has been decided only after
the most careful elaboration. Arguments for
and against the creature have been heard. but
after weighing them all the court of science
gives the cat the most unsparing condemna.

mice ana rats. The truth is that not one cat
in hundred has the courage to attack rat.
Where rats are at all numerous they are quite
as likely to run the cats out OF the house as
lie the opposite thing TO happen.
Mice are so inoffensiVe that they might be
attacked with IMMUNITY we're II not for the
overpowering laziness which makes the cat
usually disinclined to give them battle. Dr.

Cats might possibly be forgiven for not rid.
