Horses and mules are car- rying food and ammunition to the sol- diers in the trenches, thousands of dogs, thousands of carrier pigeons, hundreds of mules and thousands of camels are working to save lives and gain a victory for the Allies. The French have five thousand dogs and the Allies have ' ments had been delayed in coming the helper. <ix million horses and ‘each and are used by the Blue Cross many mules facing death just as the men are doing. To aid these animals | the American Red Star society has been organized in our country, and it is doing for animals what the Red Cross is doing for men. : The dog is one of the most impor- tant animals in the fighting area, and so necessary are the duties that he performs that the Red Star is train- ing dogs and planning to send many of them to France. Though the dogs trained in this country are good for work in our camps, those that will be sent to France will receive most of their training there, for after they have become accustomed to detona- tions and have been taught to be brave and not to bark—for this at- | convalescing horses run. tracts the attention of the enemy— | they must learn the commands in the French language. The French have five thousand trained dogs, and every man in the army realizes how valuable these animals are, for they are used for sen- tinel, patrol, draft, guard, dispatch and carrier work and in some In- stances they clean the trenches of rats. For instance, the sentinel dog is stationed at the “listening points,” and helps in detecting enemy patrols; the patrol dog reconnoiters for small detachments and several can hold an enemy if so commanded. These same dogs carry provisions and military stores when harnessed to vehicles, and when necessary they can pull carts on which the wounded are placed. The invaluable dispatch dog is another type and occupies an lm- portant position, with being intrusted to carry mes- sages between the posts of command in the first line in the sectors bom- barded or beaten by machine guns. Such dogs are swifter than men an run less chance of being shot. The guard dog helps to reduce the number of sentinels around storehouses and factories. Their performances are re- markable. France is using many Red Cross dogs, and many wounded soldiers owe their preservation to them. They ' and it deals with every variety of sick 1 | i | | | | | 1 i 1 e! branch for he is honored | Cross that our American Red Star a that it does will depend on the amount | gentle care 22 the Red Star and fifty thousand first aid leaflets telling how to care for horses have been distributed. When the veterinarian surgeon at one camp wrote the Red Star that his instru- society at once telegraphed a supply house to make up the deficiency. The work in our home training camps is broadening continually, and it is planned that in addition to the aid it will give here the society will work in France and among the fighting contingents. Already an order has been sent abroad to furnish ambu- lances for the American army. These will be similar to those in use in the French army, will accommodate two horses and have quarters for the Such ambulances cost $5000 of the French. This Blue Cross, which was organ- ized in 1912, in three months after war began had hospitals at work in France. Today La Croix Bleue is an effective branch of the French army, and injured horses. Two thousand separate units have been assisted by this Blue Cross and the hospital quar- ters are clean, hygienic and with ample light and air. Drinking water and oats are supplied and there are operating rooms, pharmacies and hos- pitals for sick and debilitated animals. Gentleness, fresh air and sunshine are among the curative agencies, and there are large pasture lands on whic Owing to the care that this society gives bleeding animals, lame, mud- covered and thoroughly unfit for du- ty, regain strength. Some of the an- imals are cured so they can go back | to work after a long period and others are quickly built up so they return in a short time. Horses, like men, suffer from shell shock, overstrain and kindred affections, and need quiet, | and good food to fit them to return. The Blue Cross sends sup- plies to all units, veterinary chests, bandages and drugs, all of which are used before the horse reaches the | field dressing station. The society al- so cares for dogs, many of which are injured in carrying dispatches. A nch of the Blue Cross has been or- ganized in Italy and goes under the name of La Societa’ della Croce Azu- It is work like this of the Blue plans to do abroad. Like the Red Cross, the Red Star depends on dona- tions and the amount of relief work of money received. Women in the War.

Other dogs have been trained never to molest the sol- dier, but to give the sign on their re- turn to the hospital. This sign is usually the lifting of the strap which hangs around their necks into their mouths. But these dogs do not stop at finding the wounded. They are taught never to touch the dead and they draw a light-wheeled ambulance cart on which the wounded soldier is placed. They do well at this work and in pulling the carriages on which the machine guns are mounted. Mas- tiffs are usually used for this last heavy work and when the important part in carrying the light guns from point to point.

Some of the dogs selected had taken part in the Alaskan races that required unlimited en- durance, and this qualification was invaluable in the work which they did in the army. These Alaskan dogs, ac- customed to drawing heavy burdens, have brought supplies and ammuni- tion through mountain passes. They draw carts in summer which fit on narrow-gauge tracks and in winter they pull sledges over the snow. These dogs are more cumbersome than the dispatch dogs, who can carry a mes- sage in three minutes that would take ten minutes for a man. These mes- sages may be important calls for re- enforcements or that firing should be directed in another direction or some equally important hint. The French also employ dogs to carry light lunches and they provide gas masks for the dogs as well as for the men. The French Minister of War has written the American Red Star stating just what kinds of dogs the French desire. He writes that all dogs must be more than one year and less than six years old; they can be of any color except where white pre- dominates and must be in good health, intelligent and wideawake. Shepherd dogs, mastiffs, bulldogs, for terriers and mongrels of these breed can be employed. There are many stories of dogs be- ing decorated by the soldiers for sig- nal bravery on the battlefield and the men grow much attached to the intel- ligent animals. Interesting and important as is the work of dogs and pigeons in war, the American Red Star feéls that the horse is still more valuable. The British have two million horses en- gaged in the war, and it is estimated there may be a demand for as many more. Horses cannot be wholly su- perseded by motors, for they are transports and baggage agents in this war, as they have been in former con- flicts. All army men know that the services of horses are indispensable. If a shot hits a motor and a wheel is blown off that is the end of progress for a time, but if one horse is injured the other horse pulls until a fresh horse can be obtained. The American Red Star Animal Relief long before we entered the war realized the me- cessity that might face us and start- ed to prepare plans to supplement the work of army veterinarians and to raise money to provide adequate fa- cilities for caring for injured animals. Already this society has begun work in the training camps, and in many ways it is aiding veterinary sur- geons and the animals. The society furnishes supplies to remount depots and camps throughout the United States, and the work ranges from first aid leaflets to ambulances. Seventy different camps, forts and army posts have secured aid of some kind from that he | treatment of dyspepsia, however much we field.

We cannot accomplish much in the may temporarily relieve its symptoms, sO long as the blood remains impure. It is a fact not well enough known by people generally that when the stomach, liver and other digestive organs are supplied with impure blood, the digestive process is im- paired, so as to cause faintness and loss of appetite and sometimes a deranged state of the intestines, and in general all the symptoms of dyspepsia. Hood’s Sarsaparilla is of great service in dispepsia, because it purifies the blood, making it the healthy stimulus the diges- tive organs must have for the proper per- formance of other duties. Hood's Sarsa- parilla, especially if taken in a little hot water, has “a magic touch” in dyspepsia. Get it today. 63-27 A Wise Precaution.

Y.—“The entire dye situation in the United States looks very promising, and there is every reason to believe that the industry will be permanent,” said Dr. Louis J. Mates of the National Aniline and Chemical company, who had charge of a large and interesting dyestuffs exhibit at the recent textile show in this city. “These revolving cases here, with their specimens of 130 dyes manufactured from American raw materials—from the bottom up— is a satisfactory answer, it seems to me, to queries concerning what Amer- the dyes that we made from imported intermediates. the war began, however, and we were cut off from foreign supplies of this sort, we have been obliged to build up an intermediate industry of our own. Our chemists have been oblig- ed to devise processes for makin” in- termediates which had never before been made here. Nor have we had the trained chemists necessary for this industry. Nevertheless, during the past three years men skilled in or- ganic chemistry have bobbed up on all sides. The result is that we have now to her importation of dyes f - J b y Yon: (jor 2 number of intermediates of our own many,” he continued in an interview with a representative of the Christian Science Monitor. “Dye manufactur- ers have absolutely duplicated Ger- man dyes, type for type, strength and working quality. Parallel tests have been made of materials dyed in Amer- ican products and in the German; side by side these have been exposed for 30 days out of doors to the com- bination of light and weather, and it was found that the American colors faded only in the same proportion as This disproves the claim that German dyes are necessarily fast. It has been found that the American dyes have the good qualities of the German ones and also their defects.” The exhibit included samples of cotton and woolen materials in pairs, one piece dyed in the American, the other in the German product. Dr. Mates pointed out the fact that where | the American dye showed imperfec- tions, the German showed precisely the same fault. + He explained that if imperfectly dyed American goods were put upon the market, people would at once say that the trouble was that they were American, failing entirely to realize that goods dyed with that same dye which had been prepared in Germany were by no means necessarily fast. Some dyes that are not fast, he pointed out, are eminently suited to certain purposes. “One distinct accomplishment of American dye manufacturers,” he continued, “is the making of synthet- ic indigo; that is really a great achievement for this country. A plant the truly fast dyes that we are get- ting out. that we still lack, among them toluol, which may be obtained from illumin- ating gas.” ——————————————————— A Woman's Job. Fifty-five women deputy sheriffs are now doing scouting and patrol work for the War Department Com- mission on Training Camp Activities. They work in the vicinity of camps in all parts of the country under the Girls’ Protective Bureaus that have been established by the commission. The women chosen for this work have large experience in work with girls. The new duties are intensely person- al in character. They are chiefly con- cerned with the individual girl who is getting into danger. They wear no badge or distinguishing mark, though they co-operate closely with the mil- itary police and local authorities. To make the artificial eye prac- tically indistinguishable is the aim of 2 British army surgeon who is exper- imenting with a ball made of cartil- age as a substitute for a metal or glass one. A sphere of such construc- fion when put in place establishes con- nection with blood vessels and the sur- rounding tissues. When thus fixed in the cavity it is supposed to be capa- ble of movement corresponding to that of a normal eye, and furthermeore fills the space so that there is no de- pression. CASTORIA. CASTORIA.
