For months " Fido's Food Shop " purveyed cow-flux ("

unfit for human food "), for dogs and cats at what most people would regard as the outrageous price of Is. 3d. a lb. Lord Woolton evidently so regarded it, for he stepped in and fixed a maximum price of 8d. Fido's Food Shop sold for a week or so at 8d. Fido's Food Shop is now rechristened " Derby Stakes " and Sells horse-flesh (" for human consump- tion only ") at Is. 3d. This,•I believe, has been happening in a number of towns. Lord Woolton has not yet indicated how long he will let himself be fooled. jANU.S.
