Paper Plates for Animal Pets,

Using paper plates for animal pets
will be found to be good plan. Some
people do not take the care to wash
plates kept for dogs and cats, al.
though they should be kept scrupu-
lously clean and be used for no other
purpose. Paper plates, which may
be bought by the hundred for but lit
tie money. may be burned after they
have been used. 1t Is also a good
idea to have a piece of zinc put on
the back porch, where the pets are
likely to be fed, and place the dishes
on this for them. The zinc is easily
cleaned.
