Every dog is more dog when he's fed the Diet of Champions

Prize winner or pal, Ken-L-Biskit brings out the best in your dog Concentrated Ken-L-Biskit provides twice the power of lean beefsteak!* *Ken-L-Biskit is a concentrated kibble. Ounce for ounce, it provides twice the calories (energy-power) of the most flavorful lean beefsteak you can feed your family. And unlike so many other dry dog foods, Ken-L-Biskit is not "blown up." This means, cup for cup, there's more protein, more vitamins, more minerals, more of every nutrient your dog is known to need. Because Ken-L-Biskit does so much more, you can feed less of it. Hence a most happy economy. And slow oven baking enriches the great flavor of Ken-L-Biskit. Makes for best digestibility, too. Since every bit of every bite works to create the peak condition and wonderful spirit of a champion, it's no wonder Ken-L-Biskit is the world's largest-selling kibbled dog food! Now available at your favorite food store. KEN-L-BISKIT Official food at more American Kennel Club Shows than all other dog foods combined!

Dining-Room Table

Continued from page 13 —including the children—gathered about one table. We invite other guests more frequently and spend many stimulating hours with them at the table after dinner. Through these gatherings our children have learned respect for their elders and for dissenting opinions and have been introduced to the wonderful world of ideas. Manners have become part of everyday living. Our children have learned not to speak when someone else is talking, to seat the womenfolk, to offer in a large and sometimes strange group a prayer of thanksgiving that has meaning and substance, to sit patiently and not stuff themselves. Oh, they still sometimes have to be reminded, but they're learning to discharge these responsibilities with gra[c]ing good humor. THERE HAS BEEN an evolutionary interest on the part of our children in the nonfamily guests we frequently invite to dine with us. At our invitation, they now stay to listen to after-dinner conversation, even offering an occasional contribution or question. We encourage this, and the children have developed a healthy curiosity and respect for opinions and philosophies new to them. But most important, we've learned to communicate—and thereby have grown, both as a family and as individuals. We talk about new plays and books and movies. We discuss the shades of meaning of new words, and we thrash over current events endlessly and heatedly since we have a frequent division of political opinion. But now it is friendly disagreement, and it adds up to tolerance in our children—a virtue, indeed—while preserving their individuality. We recently rented our house for a year to take sabbatical in another part of the country. Although our tenant had his own furniture, he looked long and lovingly at our dining-room table, then said hesitantly: "I don't have anything I can use in this room. Would it be out of line to ask you to leave your table?" He has it now, with our blessing. I could tell from the spark in his eyes when he saw the table that he's one of us. May our table contribute to his family as it has to ours.
