CAT COMEDY IN POLAND
Because they were.” lazy,” and “ refused to catch rats,”’ the city of Bialystok, Poland, has ordered that “ all cats are to be kept without food for 24 hours every week.” , For some time the city has been overrun by rats, and every means of fighting the plague have failed. Last year some 2,000 cats were imported into the' town, but without any. effect ■ whatsoever. The Town Council has now decided to fine every cat owner 5 zlotys for having overfed' their pets. The money thus obtained will be used to pay one zloty for every rat brought dead or-alive to the town clerk.
