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,. When
her breathing changed because She
was -sinking into a coma, the dog
would dasrh into the •ruext ream and
wake the woman's daughter. Any dog'
would be quicker at 'detecting a
change in breathing rate than any
doctor.
A Cat That Knows Monday
My gerageman told me that a cat
neet door went out eery Monday at
7.45 pen. The next Monday I in-
vestigated. Sure enough- at 7.45 a
yellovv cat •came down his walk and
stopped at the curb for he traffic
lghts. When ileY -changed he cross-
ed. I de not say he saw the lights
change; perhaps be only saw the
people• who .sawthem change., ,He
moped close to their feet. None- of
them noticed' him, as they would have

HER LOAF OF
WHITE BREAD

AT THECANADIAN NATIONAL
pCHIBITION
MRS. W. C. ANDREW, STREETWILLE, ONT.
I took my prizewinning
loaf out of the oven," says Mrs.
Andew, "I thought it was the
/nicest loaf of bread I had ever
made. 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! The first,
second, third and fourth prizes
for white bread at the c anadian
National Exhibition were all
won with Robin Hood Flour,
so it must be good! Every bag

The convention, was held to be a

was called upon to 'offer a petition
for Divine guidance, which, he did in
