The Hearing of a Dog In a lunctroote in New York City: e drunk leaned acnoss the eounter, a dog at his feet. The telephone rang. The waiter movedto.,, answer It. The drunk said: 'Wait." Then he beet down, caught the do's snout between his thrumb andinclex finger, clamped thie scout tight. "If that's my wife, tell her Iqeft ihalf an hour ago." The waiter gave tele meseage to the wife and Meg up the receiv- ed. The 'thank straightened ,himself, said to Me: "He would have heard her talk, and 'barred." Yes, the dog would shave beard the wite's elee past the eeceiver plastered against the waiter's ear!: For years a Spitz dog I know took care of a .diabetic wentan by sleep- ing in the crook of her arm,.

But I did not dream it • I would, get first prize."•, -,;Yet, in face of stiff competi- - -lion, Mrs. Andrew did win the • highest prize. And now—what does this, champion say about her baking methods? Has she any secrets? Here are her own • words: "I measured the ingre- dients for mY prize loaf very carefully and of course I used, •)Robin Hood Flour. For six years I have used this flour right along and I bake bread every - week. When I first began bak- •ing with Robin Hood I noticed .an improvement in iny bread immediately, not only in the ease with which it kneads up, •imy bread and rolls. After • • anced shape, so that it will bake out as a well-proportioned loaf with an even, golden colour. I enjoy baking for local fairs, but this is the first time I have won first prize at the big•exhi- bition. And I certainly think Robin Hood Flour shonld have a lot of the credit, for high quality flour makes high quality bread every time." Why not follow the example of this champion bread baker and use Robin Hood Flour yourself. Order it the very next time you need flour!
