By The President
Dr. Samuel Garner, president of The
Society for Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals, has the following to say in
The report submitted today:
II wish to call attention to one item
of our agents report. namely, where
he speaks of being called to remove a
can from the cats head. Most people
throw their empty cans into the garb-
age. and dogs and cats seeking their
food, thrust their heads into such cans
to clean out the remains and their
heads become so wedged in that the
animals cannot free themselves. All
empty cans, before being thrown into
the garbage, should have their open
ings so mashed in that animals cannot
get their heads into them.
81 am much pleased now and then to
see persons carrying chickens and
ducks along the street in a humane
way, that is, with their heads up under
or across their arms instead of hang
ing down. This shows that the teach
ings of our Society are beginning to
take effect.
Humane persons vii help US in
these matters. We cannot do it all
ourselves. Especially, they should re-
member that, as the Society is sup
ported by voluntarily contributions,
their donations will always be CRATE
fully received.
We are glad to acknowledge
through Miss Jessup the recent of
$40 from Mr.. and MIS-. Julian Harris.
the same 10 he applied as membership
dues for themselves, their daughter.
Sallie, and their dog, Turk" We
have also new member in the person
of Mrs. Alex. F. Jenkins, of Balti
