WOMEN of wealth and promi

Humane Society of Phila
delphia aro earnestly and persist
ently advocating tho enactment of a
law requiring the owners of animals
to send or tako them away on a
vacation' each year. As earnestly

president of tho Horse Aid Society
of New York and founder of tho
Drivers' Club of New York, com
posed of 500 teamsters, whoso pur
pose It is to holp Iho horso through
teaching tho driver humane treat
ment of tho animal, advocates an
animal vacation. Tho society is do
ing excellent work In this direction,
at its new clubhouse, 87 Seventh
avenue, New York.
Mrs. Ehrllch believes your horse,
your dog, your cat, your pet monkey,
your parrot, oven your pet pig and
white mice, need a vacation as
greatly as you yourselves require
the annual lotting down, tho yearly
relaxation from toll, or change from
surroundings. Tako them to the
country for a month, if you can; for
two weeks at any rato.
Keep them away from the sea
shore. They requlro tho grass and
trees and fields.
GIvq tho horso a field of lush
grass for his stomach and soaking
pots. for his burning, tired feet Take,
his shoes off.
Be sure to take the cat's own
cushion along.
Put the birds whero they can see
the trees and carpet their caget
every day with fresh grass.
Provide them with companions ot
their own kind. Animals need so
ciety as greatly as wo do.
Tho dog that has Uvea In a flat
all Winter and has guarded your
house from burglars and against
fire is "all tired out." He 1b on the
vorgo of nervous prostration from
close attention to duty, and should
go where he can bo qulto freo from
care.
Tell tho monkey's boarding mis,
tress to only half fill his cup with
milk or water. There's a scientific
reason.
Thoso and other facts are con
tained in Mrs. Ehrllch'B vacation

"I am working to the same end

please," said an Interviewer from
this newspaper,
"It should be for a month if pos
