XXXIII. Beatrice Announces 



WOOF ! woof ! woof !" 

 Translated and properly censored, 

 this means that Beatrice presents her 

 compliments to the Food Board and 

 announces the arrival of nine hungry little bacon 

 producers, 



"Woof! woof! woof!" 



She also announces that she is food controller for 

 her family and doesn't care a "woof" for regula- 

 tions that are made at Ottawa. She recognises only 

 the law of supply and demand, and if she doesn't 

 get her full rations of swill, bran and similar necessi- 

 ties she is not afraid to express her opinions of 

 everything and everybody, including the censorship. 

 She now has to do the eating for ten, and the job 

 is one for which she is fitted by both personal in- 

 clinations and hereditary instincts. 

 "Woof! woof! woof!" 



She furthermore announces that she is ready to 

 bite the head off any one who lays a finger on any 

 member of her family. She stands ready to fight for
