Dear Heloise: My dog really likes his dog bones. I keep them in a glass jar in the kitchen. I buy the large ones and break them in half. He still gets plenty of treats and I save a little money. - Peggy Jones, Falls Church, Va.

We keep some treats in a glass jar also. When we lift the lid, all three dogs come running! - Heloise Send a money- or time-saving hint to Heloise, PO Box 795000, San Antonio TX 78279-5000 or fax it to 210-HELOISE.
