the "outmodeo' coroner system was
urged today by representatives of

Slege, said that he could cite Is
scases Of mysterious death in the
Slast 20 years which have gone into

tvestigation.
The medical examiner system, it
vas explained. would set up a CEN
stral office in Richmond with deputy
examiners in all sections of the
estate. The cost would be relatively
small.
Another phase of the proposed
qlaw would require certificate from
sthe chief medical examiner before
"a body could be cremated since,

Asentative of the medical society
ssaid, cremation could provide a
'~eover for crime.

SO much for the commercial dog foods
which are well balanced diets and easily pre-
pared. Now how about the home cooked
meal which almost every dog owner would
like to give his pet occasionally?
Here the meat ingredient is problem. but
il certainly can be solved Lurgs or lights
hoofs which dogs like and which are like hard
ened gelatine, ears. lips, cheeks nostrils and
tail ends are meat products which certainly
do not encroach on the meat supply for
human beings
With such meats you can make a broth in
which an excellent stew may be prepared. In
il go cereals and fresh vegetables. Or the
broth may be used as gravy To pour over a
cereal-vegetable dinner, which may also in
clude raw vegetables such as carrots. spinach
celery tops, lettuce sliced up cabbage. OF
course a dog is not a vegetarian. But the
meat broth will supply the lure for him to
eat this food.
You'd be surprised at some of the food
which dogs become fond of. I've known pets
to love grapefruit, peanut butter raisins
sauerkraut and apple sauce, TO name just a
few items.
Some dogs are partial TO fish. others are
not. Thus inexpensive fish may be. used
optionally TO provide the broth mentioned
above. II there is any stale whole wheat
bread left over. piece may be toasted and
"dunked' in the gravy you have prepared.

and begs then by all means be firm. Call him
TO his food dish, and if he still refuses say to
him in the language in which you and he have
come TO understand each other: Sorry old
pal; maybe tomorrow" And when you put
out that meal on the following day, he'll eat it.
Yes, we've got to take good care of our
dogs these days, for our canine friends are
needed both on our far flung. battle lines and
on the home front, and there is no telling
when or where what breed of dog will per-
form some valiant service, as the illustrations
at the left show.

But let's look at the true picture Dog
owners, 5000 600 of them, are every bit as
patriotic as other Americans. They too have
menfolks in the armed forces.
They too put ten per cent of their salaries
into War Bonds, not 10 cash them a few months
later on but TO hold on to them until maturity.
They too are eager to conserve food and
see that it is rationed equally for all
Their pets aren't getting steaks by any
means. They're on strictly wartime rations.
But they're keeping fit and healthy just as
any dog a diet that is planned for mans
best friend for the duration Let's examine
this diet and see If it is depriving any human
being in the country of his quota of food
First of all there is meat Scientists en-
ployed by some of the foremost meat packing
concerns of the country have carefully studied
the utilization of meat by-products as food
for CANNES. Through their efforts, the lips,
cheeks, ears and other portions of cattle,
inedible for humans, have been carefully
processed to supply meat base for dog food
While there's little nourshment in this
alone, it does provide the meaty taste which
dog relishes. To this base are added steamed
bone meal, a by-product which gives a dog
his beneficial quota of calcium and phos-
phouus, fish liver OIL supplying vitamins A
and d, easily digestible cereals of which there
table foods such as beet pulp of which there
is certainly no shortage and dry skim milk
which supplies vitamins B-1 and c..
OF course the combination of these ingre-
dents is varied by different manufacturers.
