Time in Humane Work.
DOGS, CATS and PARROTS

Little Bowered Cottage and Put
Out OF Their Misery II Too
Sick to Recover.

Kansas City, Mo.-Wouid you be
willing to give more than half Of your
modest income to make life less rig
orous for suffering or neglected AMI
mnlsl
Such is the sacrifice being made by
Miss Sarah and ii. ii. Jacobs of Kan
,as City. Kan, across the river from
here. And it is no mere passing
,hobby, they have been doing this for
the last quarter century. The jacobs
are nationally known for their un-
selfish work.
Living In little cottage, surround
ed by rose bushes. bird houses, flower
beds and fruit trees, these two have
consecrated their lives to nmellorating
the hardships visited upon mans often
neglected and abused companions.
III. II. Jacobs provides the income
by working as a bookkeeper on the
Missouri side. while Miss Sarah looks
after the home and its numerous pets.
And there are muny dogs In the
Jacobs home-ten dogs, two score
cats, and two parrots. The care OF
these pets. however, represents only a
minor part of the activities of the
two workers. Both are officers In the
Wyundotte County Humane society
and labor necessarily TO benefit ami
mai life through that source. With
all this the Jacobs are not unmindful
of the needs of unfortunate children,
and even adults of their city, as they
are active in the Associated Charities.
Miss Sarah. who was found at home
busy with her charges, said that her
first instruction in humane work
was when she was a little girl and
her father taught her that 1t was just
as easy to step around an anthill as
to crush it with her heel.

There is nothing mawkish about
their views, however. Miss Sarah,
as president of the Humane society,
has personally chloroformed hun

"It sometimes is eXpedlent," she
said, "to remove them to avert fur

Says Farmers Go Crazy
for Lack of Recreation

Washington. - One of the
reasons why you cant keep
'em down on the farm" was ex-
planned here at the seventy
seventh annual convention of
the American Institute of Home
opathy.
More farmers go crazy every
year in the United States than
any other class of citizenship,
DR.. ]. Nj, Lee of Rochester, n.
Y. told the convention. Work,
worry and lack of recreation are
the causes.
Professional men-clergymen,
physicians and lawyers-are less
likely to 90 crazy, DIR. Lee said.
However, DIR. Lee warned,
don't be- too sure of yourself. for
insanity is slowly but steadily
increasing.

who have found them suffering in the
streets or were too poor to look after
them. Many carry a story of human
interest, with sometimes tragedy.
There is Cinderella, who has been
brutally wounded. The Jacobs decided
to chloroform the animal to relieve its
Intense suffering. Finally IL struggled
over to the open fireplace and curled
up In the warm ashes. Soon IL showed
signs Of rallyInG and they concluded II
should live. II did recover. The Incl
dent reminded them of the fairy story
of the little girl sitting In the ashes
and who later was able to wear the
glass slipper and the spotted hound
became Cinderella.
Miss Jacobs told of a cat that saved
their lives. A leaky gas jet had filled
the house with fumes while they slept.
The cat mewed In vain and finally
leaped upon the bed and scratched
Miss Jacobs TO a waking position and
realization Of their danger.
Cats Interesting Career.
Ynrrow, a cat with an interesting
career. was named after Mary Craige
Yarrow, noted humane worker OF
Philadelphia. This cat once was
companion to a little boy The boy
died and on the night of his funeral
the animal was carried away and
locked In a freight car bound for Ar
kansas. A fortnight later the cat re-
turned home nearly starved. The
boys mother took II to the Jacobs
home.
Some of the animals of other days,
especial favorites who had earned
some mark of distinction, are buried in
the flower garden. There are no
markers, save stone border around
the grave of Hermano (Mexican for
brother) long in the family. Hermano
had saved Miss Jacobs life in Texas
