"ReaI Dog"

According to the Antwerp corre-
spondent of the Handelsblnd the Ger.
man authorities at Ghent have issued
an administrative order granting per.
mission to the city Of Ghent for the
erection Of n dog slaughter house. One
Of the regulations provides that no dog
butcher may supply more than about
two pounds of dog meat week to each
family.
In the opinion Of the correspondent

soon will be followed in other towns
in Belgium, for want is increasing day
