Answer to Question 1:
Governor Eden, last Colonial

ancestor Of Anthony Eden of
England, owned the famous race
horse "Whynot," one of the
greatest race horses of his day.
Governor Eden is buried at the

people-and two people only
pay the bills for Maryland rae

who brings his horse to Pimlico

contributes no money to Mary

DOGS CONTRIBUTE
TO FAMINE RELIEF
Pet Food Manufacture Cut Back
to 80 Per Cent of l945

Americas dogs, like the American
people, are doing their bit toward
the alienation of famine conditions
abroad, reports the Gaines Dog Re-
search Center, New York City.
AS step in meeting Americas
commitments of food supplies for
overseas shipments, this country's
pet food manufacturers have been
cut back in their production to 80
per cent of what they put out last
year. This means that Fido will get
only four-fifths of his favorite pre-
pared dog food he received during
1915. He had looked forward to larger
portions of food with the return of
peace, and is naturally disappointed
in receiving even less than he did in
the midst of war. But Fido is not
growing is taking it like good
sport. Like the general public, how
ever, he is naturally hopeful that the
emergency will end before very long.
Reduction in the volume of pre-
pared dog foods this year comes as
setback to the dog owning house
wife as well. For years, and particu-
larly during the war years, she has
been depending on dry dog foods for
meeting the nutritional requirements
of her household pet. Keeping dog
on meal-type food involves no more
effort than giving him a drink of
water. One merely measures out the
required amount and adds warm
water, milk, soup or gravy in the
consistency preferred by the pet. No
muss, no waste of leftovers, and-of
course-no fussing in the kitchen and
no special cooking of dog dishes.
Small wonder homemakers have gone
in for it in big way!
The established popularity of dry
dog foods, by the way, is already
source of deep concern for manufac-
turers of canned dog foods-when
they come back. And for these rea-
sons: without benefit of fresh meat
or canned food for years Americas
dogs have emerged from the war in
better health than ever before. Dry
dog foods are easily mixed with
table scraps, and there are no left
overs to be kept under refrigeration.
An entire months supply takes less
shelf space than weeks supply of
the canned dog foods, and more and
more dog-owners are beginning to
balk at paying the same rate for
moisture as for the solid part of food.
The Gaines Dog Research Center
offers the following feeding sugges-
tions as particularly applicable for
the duration of the famine emer-
gency:
l. Maintain a regular feeding
schedule. Unless feeding regularity
is maintained, dog is likely to "go
off feed"

bles overpower all the more delicate
1avors. However, a slice or two of
onion added when the soup is put on
to heat for about fifteen minutes for
serving, gives fresh out-of-the-gar-
den flavor.
The Vegetable Mixture may be
thinned with milk or water before
heated for serving, but is much
better when thinned with meat stock
or broth. Vegetable soup gets along
all right without garnish, but if
it is to be the mainstay Of a lunch
or supper, you might like a piece
of toast covered with grated cheese
floating in each bowl. Crackers
or bread sticks are usually served
with vegetable soup but our choice
is midget corn pones, about two
inches long, crusty and hot.

Chief of Staff, U. S. Army

Millions of American fighting
men upon return to civilian life
have discovered that allotment of
part of current income for in
vestment in United States Savings
Bonds has become a vital element
in family life.
During their military service
they were made familiar with war
bonds as a force for their per-

In a campaign on the battlefield,
victory may depend upon how ably
an army and its individual mem

The ex-soldier is fortunate to find
that the Treasury Department with

Avoid feeding chicken or fish bones
and anything else with sharp edges.
8. If your dog does not clean UP
his plate within a reasonable time,
prepare smaller amount the next
time. Also cut down on his helping
if he is putting on too much weight.

active. When he becomes hungry,
he'll eat again-and his fast usually
