Largest eaters of horsemeat in the U. S. are dogs, who get it chiefly in a can called Ken-L-Ration. Tastiest cuts for human consumption are the tenderloin, tongue, liver and hindquarters.

But sharpness of smell is so inconstant and the weak human nose can detect such minute quantities of a substance, that precise measurement seemed hopeless. Then Dr. Elsberg tried having the subject hold his breath while whiffs of air saturated with coffee or lemon oil from a stoppered flask were pumped up the nostrils, directly against the ends of the olfactory nerves. He found that in normal persons a fairly constant and easily measurable quantity of scent-laden...
