VALUE or DOGS IN WARFARE
European Armies All Employ Them,
and Testimony 10 That They
Give Good Service.

While there has been devoted q
good deal OF attention to the use OF
dogs in ambulance work. the sentry
dog has figured little In dispatches
The sentry dog was urgently, recon-
mended a year or two ago by some OF
the higher French army officers, but
they received no encouragement from
the war office. Now the need Is acute
~ felt and a corps is being trained as
rapidly as possible A dog Of this
kind will invariably give warning of
the approach OF an enemy lone before
the soldier sentry is aware of It. In
one section of the northern front,
where dogs have been used for the
past month, no night attack of the
Germans has been successful
Not every dog will make a good
enough sentry. They need careful
selection and equally careful train
ing. Many animals that are excellent
as watch dogs or in guarding their
masters property, prove worthless
when removed suddenly to new en-
vironment and stationed under a
stranger.
The English at present have dogs
working with about thirty battal:ons
OF their army. The Russians also use
them rather extensively on sentry
duty.
It is said that the Germans. when
ever they enter new towns. make 1t
rule to collect and train all likely
dogs, and to kill all others. Many
of their signalmen go out accompanied
by dog scouts, who give warning OF

which the Bible teaches? Surely it is
sol And yet there are thousands of
ministers who are preaching Hell-flre

of what they say, and who think they

THE ART OF
ADVERTISING

picking UP an exchange today the
writer noted the advertisement OF
coal dealer 1t had a caption IN DIG
black type as follows:
MIR. Wiseman Says. the auVer
tisement went on to state that mo"
is the time to buy coal cheap - lhiS
was in small type.
This is an illustration of the COM
mon error in emphasis. The puDlc

n wants to know 1t and to be remind
cd If IT, The words Buy Coal Cheap
and Now. are the only ones IN that
advertisement that could influence
the public mind. Those should nave
been set in the heavy type.
The advertisement writer should al
ways keep in mind appealing direct
IN the motives that most influence the
buying public. These motives are
such as the following:
To reduce the cost of living.
To buy for low prices.
To get substantial goods that VIII
wear, to get the latest styles.
To get goods that are artistically
attractive.
And in food products, to get appe-
tizing sanitary and attractive goods
at low prices.
An advertisement that does not APP
peal to the above motives or some
thing equally forcible is defective. 1t
may be useful and help keep the ad-
vertiser before the public. But 1t
does not give the advertiser the full
benefit of the money he has paid for
the space.
To sum up the suggestions Of these
lessons, the following may be oher'
ed as a series of notices for the ad-
vertising writer:
/. Use the reason why motive.
2. Don't crowd 100 much small type
in your space.
3. Give the public information
about your goods.
4. Use plain language as you would
talk to a customer over the counter.
5. Give definite facts about the
goods and state prices.
6. Make the advertising newsy by
telling about what has happened in
your store.
Z. Emphasize the words and senten'
ces that will appeal most keenly to
the public.
s. Address yourself directly to the
motives that lead people to buy.

THE CARE OF
OLD ANIMALS

An interesting news dispatch the
past week reports the death of Nan.
cy Hanks, champion trotter from
1892 to 1894 She breathed her last
at the estate of j. e. Madden of Lex
ington, Kentucky, who bought the
horse several years ago to pension
her.
There Is so much thoughtlessness
in the care of aged animals, that II
is pleasant to see this notice of con-
sideration. Too many faithful beasts
OF everyday life are pushed ahead I'M
til they drop. No halo of the race
track follows their heads.
There are all extremes of sentiment
in this matter. Some people are so
sensitive that they will not take the
life of an aged horse or dog, even
where the animal has passed any en-.
joyment of existence.
They feel keenly the individuality
of animals and putting them out of
the way with chloroform seems al
most like taking the life OF a child.
This over sensitiveness to animal life
is rare.
The faithful horse who has drawn
, a family's burdens for a lifetime
should be something more than a
mere drudge. If he has been treated
with kindness, he makes known his
affection for his masters, and wei

THE VALUE OF
INVESTIGATIONS

There is pretty general agree.
ment that the 100000 spent by the
Industrial Relations Commission, in
its study of the labor problem, has
been wasted. With nearly every mem
Der of the board presenting his own
individual report, Congress and the
country will be as wise as before but
no wiser.
There is a great tendency in the
state legislatures as well as in Con-
gress to sidestep big questions by
handing them over to investigating
commissions. When members don't
know how to vote or are afraid to
vote their convictions, 1t is a great
help to refer matters to a commission
for study. The confiding public are
made to feel that there is something
doing and the weak kneed member
has escaped responsibility.
TIL libraries are full of material for
study of problem like the labor
question. A legislator who does not
know his own mind can find endless
studies of such subjects by the bright
est people in the country, who know
quite as much about them as any poll.
tically appointed committee would
ever learn.
Many legislators take little pains
to make themselves intelligent on
great public questions. They vote the
way the party whips tell them, and
spend their time getting plums for
constituents, attending to their own
private business, or enjoying sports
and social life.
The really conscientious legislator
will find world of material awaiting
his attention of pending problems. 1t
will make his term of service a work
ing one, but his life will be enriched
and his sympathies enlarged. While
technical subjects occasionally need
the service Of special investigating
committees, proposals for such inves.
legations are all to be viewed with
suspicion. They are too often a
means of relieving Legislators from

PROHIBITION IS
COM|NG'' SULzER

Salt Lake,-William Sulzer, former
governor of New York, as an ardent
expondent of prohibition, gave some
of his views and sentiments along
that line in the course of a conversa-
ton yesterday afternoon in the Hotel
Utah.
Mr.. Sultzer was comfortably seated
in an easy chair and seemed more
than willing to talk. He had told of
the greatness of Alaska: he had touch
ed as closely to his pledge as his
friends would allow him on the sub.
jects Of politics and the war and he
had dwelt on the resources of Utah
and the intermountain region-all
these in a former interview. But
there remained yet another subject on
which he was at liberty TO talk and
upon which he waxed enthusiastic.
Il am for prohibition" said Mr..
Sulzer, because prohibition is what

icipalties, states and the nation; be.
cause prohibition will solve the pro-
blem of the high cost of living and be-
cause prohibition Is an economic re.
form that will work revolution in
the industrial development OF ouI
country.
Two Points Of Attack
There are two standpoints from
which to attack the liquor evil: The
moral standpoint and the economic
standpoint Consider these one at {
time. Prohibition refuses to temporizc
with vice; 1t will not compromise Will
immortality. No man should enslav,
himself and fetter his friends. No MAJ
should widow his wife and bring sor
row to the homes of his fellow citi
zens. No man has the moral right L
make his children dotards and drunk
ards and the children of his associ
ates tear-stained orphans. The use o
alcoholic stimulants is blighting tn
flower of our young man hood, moral
ly, mentally and physically, and de
vastating, degererating and decimal
ing the human race. If ! were asket
