To n reader of Mr. Saltus' books
his fondness for cats is remarked
A contemporary writer recalls see
ing him one. wintry day on Broad
way, New York, accompanied by
several cats, and adds:
"If by any chance you talked to
him about a cat uml stopped for a
moment In your story, ho would
urge, you, (io on, please.' H was
s;ihl of htm, ho who was too urtls
toeratlr ever to go Into a store to
buy things for himself, would stop
at tin first huteher shop and pur
chasn a pi era of liver if ho had just
made the uciiualntanco of a stray
cat in tho street."
.Mr. Saltus' regard for aulmats.
, anil particularly for cats, is ex
plained by his widow.
Through a great oxlent," she
wild, "it was developed through my
Influence, ns animal rescue work

Owing lo heart trouble, which

any weight, I resetted dogs and Mr.

of buying meat and bones for these
dumb ami defenseless Utile ones,
and tinlmals, with their unerring
Instinct, loved Mr. Saltus. Ills lint
act every night was to take our pet
dog Toto for a walk around the
H'l'iure." '
1'iion the death of Toto, Mr.
Sallus asked that 11 ashes be pre
served in order that they might bo
Interred with his own. This was
done.
Mrs. Saltus. who has arranged
that her estate shall go to the
eanse lit her death, sums lip the
cause of animal rescue work In this
rather plaintive utalenient:
"The need Is so great uml there
lite so few whti cure.'
"Kroni my experience," she add
ed, "I realize that It Is the hu
mans who need educating, as much
as tho animals saving, If tho work
Is to be permanent."

Reliable News
IF. "SO-AND-SO" told you that "Somebody" said
"such-and-such" was a good buy you probably
wouldn't buy it.
But if you read an advertisement in 'this paper
about the merits of that product you'd have con
fidence in it. ,
Advertisements are reliable. The merchant' or
manufacturer who signs an advertisement knows
that he must keep faith, lie knows that when you
come in to buy you will expect the goods to be just
what he has claimed. He realizes that if he de
ceives you once, your trade is lost.
Never was there a more severe test of the worth
of a product than advertising! You can pin your
faith to an advertised product every time. It in
vites the inspection -of millions and it must he wor
thy or it cannot live.
Read the advertisements for reliable news of what
is wise to buy.
Advertising removes risk from Inning.
