Two POINTED QUESTIONS ANsweRso

What is the use of making a better ar
ticle than your competitor if you can not
get better price for it?
Ans.--As there is no difference in the
price the public will buy only the better,
so that while cur profits may be smaller
on a single sale they will be much
greater in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
your make is the best?
If both articles are brought prominent
ly before the public both are certain to be
tried and the public will very quickly
pass judgement on them and use only
the better one.
This explains the large sale on Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy. The people
have been using it for years and have
found that it can always be depended up
on. They may occasionally take up with
some fashionable novelty put forth with
exaggerated claims, but are certain to re-
turn to the one remedy that they know

DOGS IN WAR.


CANNES to BE Used for Attacking
Military Cyclists.
From the st. Louis Globe Democrat
A singular phase Of rivalry between the
armies of Germany and France is impend-
ing. The extending use of cycles in mill
tary maneuvers has induced the German
military authorities to put themselves in
position to defeat the onslaught of attack
ing cycle corps in time of war To this end
they are training dogs to distinguish be-
tween German, Austrian and Italian uni
forms from those of French and Russian
soldiers, and when their education in this
respect is sufficiently advanced they are
taught 10 throw themselves on the cyclists
VINO wear the uniform of the supposed enc
my. Wheelmen clad in various uniforms
and so guarded by pads that they are pro-
tected against bites ride past or among the
dogs,W which instantly rush at men costumed
as Freno hmen or Russians, and throw them
over. If dog should make mistake and
attack a representative of the triple alli-
ance ne is severely whipped, while a reward
is given him for assailing the man who per-
sonates an enemy. The dogs selected are
Great Danes, which, from their weight and
strength, are specially fitted for the service.
But the German officers while actively
pushing the drilling of this novel corps, are
understood to dread the employment by the
enemy OF dogs in similar capacity. fear
ing that in this case the animals might
tight among themselves, and, losing their
sense of distinction between friends and
foes, be as dangerous to the one as to the
other. The French military authorities have
become alive to the Importance of such an
issue, and are now urging the training of
dogs on their own account. as the readiest
way of circumventing the intentions of
their neighbors on the other side of the
Rhine.
