How Cat Hypnotizes Birds.

Ever hear OF hypnotZed birds!
That's what happens when a cat
fixes her eyes on a mature bird, and
makes Ii fiutter helplessly toward the
cruel claws
This Is the time Of the year when
bird tragedies are most common So
Miss Matilda Root, chairman of the
Animal Protective league, has begun
her appeal TO cat owners
The young birds suffer more than
the mature ones" said Miss Root.
Now is the time when people should
begin 70 think about protecting the
fedglings before they start to fly
aGreat care should be taken to feed
the cats well. House cats will not
hunt for their meals when their storn-
achs are full
Mature birds can generally keep
out of the way Of danger. That Is, ex.
cept when the cat uses her power OF
mesmerism-
my own pet nearly caught large
robin that way"

in every respect entry into Canada

This will appeal especially to motor
