The time when the cat could be con-

communities the country over are be-
ing aroused to a realization that it is
a menace, not only from sanitary
but from humane standpoint.
A Carrier of Disease.
She said the cat is carrier of dis
ease, and said further that thirty-one
millions of birds are killed yearly by
cats. THE cat is not necessary for
the catching of rats and MICE" she
said. "A good trap is more effective"
Mrs. Giles Scott Rafter, president of
the congress. also spoke in favor of
the determination of the stray cats.
A communication was read from the
District Commissioners stating that the
suggestion of the child welfare COM
mittee for the tagging of cats would be
given consideration.

CABINET CONCENTRATES
on FOOD PROBLEM

Washington, April 24-Food condl-
tons in several of the nations OF the
Entente allies have been reported to
the American government as critical,
and as result President Wilson and
his advisors at today's cabinet meet
ing concentrated their attention upon
what is being done to increase the
food supply of the United States, and
provide additional ships to carry pro-
duce to Europe.
Realizing that it will take time to
make more plentiful American har-
vests, the immediate object OF the
goyernmentswil be to prevent waste
to systematic the distribution and
expectation of foodstuffs SO that the
best possible use can be made OF
supplies already on hand.
The President sketched briefly tc
his cabinet today the information al
ready received from Foreign Minis
ter Balfour, of Great Britain After
ward it became evident that move
ments already well under way to bet
ter food and shipping conditions viii
be speeded up.
The entire weight of the admins
tration is to be thrown behind thu
recommendation Of Secretary Hous
ton, before Congress, to strengthen
the government machinery for con
trolling the food situation. The ad
ministration desires to be in a posi-
ton to direct the flow of surplus
food to the friendly nations where |
is most needed.
Secretary Wilson reported tina
plans are well under way for increas
ing the labor supply on the farms
and on the construction of merchan
d. vessels. Organized labor, he said, |
lending its active cooperation.

To the People of Kentucky:
We believe that the study of Gods

the Kentucky Sunday School Associa-
ton has designated Sunday, May 9th,
as the Fourth "Go-To-Sunday-School
Day" when it is expected that again
One Million People will attend the
Sunday Schools of the State. We con-
graduate this Association upon the
great work it has done in making
Greater and Better Sunday Schools for
a Greater and Better Kentucky.
Believing simplicity in the great
work that is being done in our Sun
day Schools, and DESTROYS of encour-
aging the efforts of those who are
contributing their time, energy and
money to this great cause, we unite in
the invitation to all Kentuckians, as
well as the visitors within our Dor
ders, to attend the Sunday School OF
their choice on May 9Th, 1917.
We hope that every Sunday School
will so carefully observe this day that
there may be the largest attendance
ever known in the State, and that al
visitors will receive such cordia
welcome they will become regular
members of the Sunday School. Lei
us make this the beginning of new
era in the Sunday School work O
