I'm kind of sorry I did. Turns out, ac cording to the best minds in France, that a lot of tabbies Harman Nichols 00 better at the table than a lot of people and most dogs. That is if menus have anything to do with it. Three Paris outfits, the Cat club, Le Club des Amis des Chats, and le Cerele Felin de Paris, now advertise cat menus of the week. The French Government Tourist office in New York was kind enough to send me some sample menus. While a dog can get along, partly on table scraps and part ly on vitamins and partly on stuff dealt by the left hand when nobody is looking, the puss has to be ied four times a day. Grown dogs, according to the vets, are supposed to get only one feed a day. tablespoons of beef Hew Fire Chief Is Appointed at GH; Discuss Drainage By MRS.
