CHICAGO. There nro 1,000,000
homeless cats In Chicago.
IIim lis a problem that seen
must bo given serious consideration,
Jin the opinion of Hugo Krauso, secre
tary of the Anti-Cruelty society.
As Constantinople collected all its
stray doga and placed them upon an
,lsland in the Mediterranean, thoro to
(starve to death, so Chicago must de
vise some plan of ridding itself of
(the half-starved felines that infest
vory alloy and practically every
jbulldlng in the older portions of the
city and are found in hundreds in the
J)aaement8 of loop buildings.
I Tho Anti-Cruelty society haa no
means with which thoroughly to por
orm tho task. Officials of the dog
pound nro said to have refused to un
dertake it because of the old super
stition that tho exterminator of a
jbiacn. cat will ever after be unlucky.
!And many of the homeless cats are
black,
I "Something must bo done immedi
ately, cither to provide ( homos for
these stray cats or to exterminate

This alono, regardless of tho fact that
they aro a menace to health, is suf
ficient reason."
Over in North Halsted Rtreet thoro
is one building, recently vacated by a
laundry, where more than a dozen cats
sleep during tho day and at night wan
der through tho alloys looking for
food. At a small storo at 617 Wells
street, a large wild tramp feline makes
Its hem? in th flooring, coming out
only at night. It has defied all efforts
at capture.
Only a few days ago a largo down
town restaurant was renovated. In
tho cellars nearly two score of stray)
cats were found. Thirty-ftvo of them
were sent to the Humano society
which maintains a large cattery, sorts
out tho best of the felines and finds
homes for them and chloroforms the
remainder.
According to statistics ono femalo
stray cat will bring from ten to fifty
kittens Into tho world each year.
Throughout the entire city tho cat pop
ulation is increasing rapidly and even
in the newer districts owners of pet
cats, in giving kittens to their friends,
aro laying the foundation for a future
pest of homeless felines.
New York city Is solving the prob

to tho Humane society and this de

nnd for powder I would suggost n llt

Dust is lnovltablo with travel by

to obtain tho means of a face bath,
and If loft on long the dust will seri

In placo of tho benzoin it is possi

too much of any of these things, as
they all scorch tho skin after a whllo.
