scaly. At times he would dig

would fail asleep.
"I used different drugs
and salves and found they
did no good. Nothing did any
good. Finally I sent for a
free sample of Cuticura Soap and Ointment.
I washed his face with warm water and the
Boap and applied the Ointment. I bought
two cakes of Cuticura Soap and some Cuti
cura Ointment and he is entirely well.
Nothing but Cuticura Soap and Ointment
did it." (Sighed) Mrs. Lillle M. Lyons,

flake graphite is the only lubricant known that will fill up
these holes and build up around these pin points a smooth,
oily veneer that grows finer and more smooth by continual
use and wear. It is unaffected by heat or cold. It will not
turn thin. The Joseph Dixon Crucible Company are the

Trained Canines Play Odd Part In
Europe's War—lnteresting Events j
In the Turmoil
The talcs of gallant St. Bernards
succoring the lost in the Alpine drifts
and the romantie yarns of the smug- I
gler dogs of Flanders are far out- ;
rivaled by the part played by man's
canine allies in the great war in i
Europe.
The utilization of dogs for the pur
pose of drawing lLght field pieces, as j
well as small ammunition wagons and I
hospital stores, has been reduced to a |
science ibv the armies of the warring
nations. It is interesting to note that '
this novel means of transportation was 1
suggested to and rejected ,'oy the Unit- '
ed States government as being im- j
practical, yet Its value has been ef
fectually demonstrated, by nearly every i
power across the so*. - •»>
The economical poliCv -#hieh im
>bues nations and individuals alike !
throughout crowded Guropo fastened '
early upon the dog as an asset in many :
callings, and it is estimated that there 1
are more "working dogs" in Europe 1
than pets. Among the peasantry the 1
canine friend is as useful as among
the Eskimo of the far North, and in
times of dire stress represents a value
as food for his master, thus is useful
to the end.
The importance of the doig for war
use is fully and interestingly told by
Willis J. Abbot in his great book
"The Nations at War," which is be
ing offered by the Star-Independent
to its readers for the mere presenta
tion fee of 08 cents, to cover book
rights and handling. This elaborate
volume, the first authoritative work of
its kind yet issued, is to (be marketed
for $3, but through special arrange
ment the Star-Independent was en
abled to secure a limited quantity of
the first edition for its reaJers at a
mere fraction of its worth.
The volume, written Mr. Ab
bot's staff of able news gatherers in
Europe, represents the highest achieve
ment of some of the keenest minds on
the continent. The book is profusely
illustrated by more than 463 actual
new fresh authoritative photographs,
many taken under fire, ami is embel
lished with' 20 full-page color plates
of thrilling and amazing scenes. Many
of the photos iu this volume would
never have been published had the mil
itary censors known of their existence.
The edition of this volume while large
is rapidly diminishing before the de
mands of Star-Independent readers and
those who have not received a copy
should avail themselves of this golden
opportunity without delay.—Adv.*

How It Works Out
"I'll never forget the favor you
have done me," said the man who
doesn't mind asking for what he wants.
"Don't say that," replied the cold
blooded person. "When a man keeps
brooding over an obligation he's al
most sure to get resentful instead of
appreciative."—Washington Star.
