Valuable War Dogs.

The duties of dogs in war are va
ried. Some are trained for dispatch
bearing; others show a greater aptl-
tude for patrol duty, while others
make excellent ambulance dogs. Be
sides these there are search dogs,
watch dogs, post dogs, draft dogs, etc.
The dispatch bearers keep two bod
les of soldiers in touch with each 9TH
er. Messages are put in small pouches
that are secured carefully to collar
about the dogs neck. Very frequently
these animals are compelled to make
trips under heavy shell fire. They are
dogs of bravery and daring, and there
Is more than one case on record when

Too Much.

Human life is often painted as pain
fully meager and pinched, but one Of
its most common shadows is regret
bred by lack Of self-restraint. Eating
too much, talking too much, drinking
too much, playing too much, tempting
fate too much by various forms Of
gambling-all these forms of excess
and others also contribute prodigally
to the sum of the worlds pain and
sorrow and multiply its misfortunes.-

Lafayette Flying Corps.

Considerable confusion exists In the
minds Of many persons about the diff
ference between the Lafayette Esca-
drille and the Lafayette Flying corps.
This famous aeronautic body was
the Section .d'Aviation of the Legion
Etrangere in the early days of the
war. To mark the number Of Ameri-
cans who were sharing the dangers and
victories the name was changed to the
Franco-American Flying corps. But as
the United States was not then at war
with Germany complaint was made
that this was a breach Of neutrality.
To avoid giving offense the name
was changed to the Lafayette Flying
corps, which is the present official
designation.

Euef From Peat.

A company has been formed in Nor
way for making fuel from peat by the
Rosendahl method. The raw material
for the new industry will be chiefly
peat from the extensive Norwegian
moors, but any other material may be
used which is sufficiently abundant in
the neighborhood of the factory, par
ticularly wood waste. The product is
said greatly to resemble English coal.

to say that our fellow citizens are
