Dugmore in Country Life. Yesterday
repaired the blinds, which l have
used each year, and built a couple of
new ones on very promising leads, so
feel that l am ready for my friends
when they come. My blind, or gaze,
as the Observation-Disclosures call 1t, is
simple affair composed of about
dozen small Ar trees stuck securely
into the bog, arranged in circle. open
at the southern end. On the north
side facing the leads the branches are
cut away, leaving an opening through
which the camera protrudes. The Sc

sketching, but the cold wind makes

threw a bomb into the convention by
declaring most sanitarians are too
"fussy' about eggs and meat and
milk.
Suppose there are blood rings in
the eggs. what is the harm" he ask
ed. Use a little common sense and
don't waste them but use them for
food. blood rings and all. If your
oysters are polluted. cook them and
use them for food: II the milk Is a lit
tie low in standard. cook 1t and use
1t for food: and II there Is a little
tuberculosis in the beer cattle use
parts Of which are not affected. Use
a little common sense In these things.
Remember there are 100000 900 peo-

can't afford to waste the food for lit

of the analysis Of foods Is superfuous
