|MEM®E IAMS CE Th By PHILOKUON Amid the distractions and anxieâ€" ties of the times Sir Stafford Cripps has not forgotten to deplore the death of his favourite Airedale terrier, Joe, as he was called, was a member of the Tailâ€"Waggers Club, as all good dogs should be, and when particulars of the loss appeared the Secrotary of the Club sent a letter of regrets. The folâ€" lowing acknowledgment has been veceived: "Sir Stafford Cripps has received your letter, and he asks me to thank you very much for writing to him about his dog.
