FOOD CONSERVATION.
TO THE EDITOR. Sir, —May I be permitted to suggest to the Women Citizens' Association that a practical way of helping to conserve limited food supplies would be the clearance of the useless dogs to be seen daily trotting at' the heels of women in the shopping areas. There are far too many of these creatures about the City, polluting the streets by day and making the nights hideous with their howling. Nothing is said regarding the contamination of food supplies stacked about the doors and on the floors of certain producedealers and purveyors of fruit and garden produce in our own City. Are there no inspectors to see to this and protect the innocent consumers? The taxes for charitable aid are now becoming so burdensome that every care should bo taken to ensure that none of the rands are expended by the recipients of aid on the maintenance of useless animals of any kind. These are matters the association might well look into.—l am, etc., - Economy. June 2.
