black velvet makes its appearance at

BRITONS FEEL LACK OF DOGS
PLAQUE of Rats Has Followed the Re-
duction of the Canine Popula-
ton Of the Country.

An inquiry has been received from
an American firm as to the possibili-
ties offered in the British market for
the introduction and sale of poison for
the destruction of rats. Just at pres
ent considerable interest is being man.
ifested in this country in the question
of rat destruction, and attention is be-
ing called to the enormous amount OF
damage done by these pests. The min
istry of food has just issued an order
giving power to local authorities to
take such measures as may appear to
them to be necessary to secure the de-
struction of rats.
Rats are increasing enormously all
over England, both in the cities and
rural districts, and an organized cam
paign of determination has become nee
essary. The difficulty Is to obtain
a suitable poison. Local authorities
will probably find that If any good is
to be done they will have to set up a
rat destruction instruction Office and
supply the dose, for the average house
holder possesses little knowledge of
rat killing.
| Perhaps one cause of the increase
and the growing audacity of the rodent
is the scarcity of dogs. The dog has
almost disappeared in some cities and
rural districts. The breeding Of dogs
has been severely curtailed owing &c
the fact that biscuits are expensive and
of bad quality and bones cannot be
bought.-London Mail.

first, of course. Never were such col

result is not garish and crude, as one
might fancy when reading that "col-
