Hotel Manager Puts Ban on Bones and Meat for Canines

- Bones at 40 cents each and chopped meat, at 50 cents a portion for aristocratic dogs have been cut from the kennel menu at the Hotel Majestic, notes the New York American. The Hooverization of this hostelry is now complete, according to the management. Recently there were many dogs in town seeking the blue ribbons at the Garden show. Copeland Townsend, manager, served notice that eatables would not be supplied for dpg consumption at his hostelry. “Many sweets and meats and milk are purchased for blooded dogs,” he said. In explanation. “This food is needed here and by the allies. Even the bones that are given to dogs are in demand. “I,understand a conservation dog biscuit is being manufactured. If this is so* the problem will be solved, but unless it is, some other means must be found to supply pets with food.” Six of the dogs at the Majestic were Poms. They are owned by Miss Estelle Kelcey of San Francisco, who I* said to hare purchased them from a destitute Belgian prince In Paris. v
