Abolition of cats, as sanitary
and health protecting measure Is
now imperative. Cats have no more
place in the world than cockroaches.
mosquitoes or flies.
The present movement to be done
with cats. is gaining popularity all
over the world-cats are now being
exterminated everywhere rapidly.
Why7
No other animal has as many dis
eases as the cat
A cat viii push its nose far down
into the throat OF an infant and
suck its breath until the baby dies.
A cat will jump upon a corpse and
tear the face OF the dead
A cat will return in the morning
from sneaking about old houses,
sheds and garbage. and vomit mag
gots on the diningroom floor.
Cats are given more credit for
catching mice than they deserve.
Keeping a cat is toadying to de-
pravity, as the snake charmer to her
snakes and the Indian and monkey
to their vermin.
Cats make night hideous with
their screams. and frighten sick peo-
pie and children.
The greatest destroyer OF song
birds is the cat Upon test ii has
been found that cats kill song birds
at the rate OF 55 birds a cat every
year.
Killing cats is the most popular
movement ever started and the joli-
est. Everybody smiles and kills cats
and then smiles. Smiles come first
and smiles come last, and cats pass
out between. Song birds. success
and character remain.

BY MRS. GEORGE ktsSSLElt'
National Secretary, American Cat
Association.
Cats are the most gentle OF crea-
lures. They are embellishments to a
household and the most model Of
pets.
What can equal the grace and
poise of a cat as it marches with the
step Of an aristocrat? What other
animal is so clean in habits?
The services OF cats cannot be
overestimated. They rid home,
granary and store of rats and other
rodents.
They are comforts to the spinster.
They are undring friends to those
who love and care for them.
There is something about a cat
that arouses instincts OF gentleness
and kindness in those who are fond
of them.
Cats do not suck the breath from
infants. Nor do they maraud the
nesting place Of birds as much as
mas Deen represented.
The person who dislikes cats has
something harsh in his nature. Fol-
cats are the essence Of refinement
one seldom sees a pedigreed
despOiling or ravaging. II is the
common alley variety that does most
OF the harm.
Instead of killing cats, let us bring
laws into being that will make re-
sponsible persons care for them.
There is no need in butcherine
these helpless things. Instead let us
all lend a hand to see that cats gen.
orally suffer less and thereby make
them more useful.
No well cared for cat kills birds
It is the eternally hungry variety
that does the mischief.
And when a cat kills a bird its in.
stincts are commanding it to do so ir
! the preservation OF its own life.

And chaos would be certain

OF a manhood good and noble,
With the pluck instead of fate"
It's dream OF love in action,
Men who'll lead the nations far,
With the Golden Rule before them
AS their leading. guiding star.

town buildings. When such ques- tion is broached at town meetings now, it is promptly killed and buried. Frequent discussion of this fact may bring the tight-fsted voters to real ization that we must pay as we go.
 Out of about TAO voters we doubt if more than hundred attended the business meeting. And out of that hundred not more than a half dozen had any voice in the meeting. If more taxpayers would help to spend the money they give to the town each year, by attending town meeting and taking an active part in it, the whole town would be just so much better off.
