n.SES IN UEFENSE OF DOG
Toronto Newspaper Man Vigorously
Condemns Silly Proposal That
They Be Killed Off In Wartime,

A wrathful correspondent of the
Mail and Empire suggests that dogs
ought to be killed off in wartime or
else such Il stiff tax imposed upon
their owners as greatly to reduce the
dog population. Similar views have
been expressed since the war in Eng
land. Only the other day Lord Claud
Hamilton said that pet dogs are
nuisance and that If he had his way
ne would slaughter all the Pelingese
dogs in the country and have them
made into meat pies" Not long ago
Punch presented a picture of tough
looking citizen grooming an equally
tough-looking bull terrier. while Gu
rate addressed him as follows: Don't
YOU think, my good man, that In war
time you would he better employed In
keeping useful animal, pig for
instance" "Yus,' growled the dog
fancicr, "and nice fool I'd look
goin rattin' with pig" Proposals to
destroy dogs are founded rather on
personal prejudice or ignorance than
.n consideration of the advantage
10 he gained by their determination.
The assertion that they consume much
food that might better be converted
to human use Is not justified. AS
rule dogs live on table scraps and odds
and ends of food which would other
wise be wasted. AS for the Hamilton
suggestion about making Pekes into
meat pies, 1t is probable that all the
PekeS in the British isles would not
tprovide a single enjoyable meal for
1 zone battalion.
II Is true that dogs frequently kill
I ;heep. but they also kill cats and rats
and thus help to square the account.
In thousands of farmhouses they con-
sttuie an invaluable guard for the
women folk They even do such chores
as driving up the cows, churning the
milk, fetching and carrying and per-
forming other services that make
amends for the undeniable fact that
they get their hair on the furniture
nnd come into the kitchen with muddy
paws. AT the front they are doing war

they are beasts Of burden. They carry
messages from the trenches to head
quarters in the rear. They guard
against enemy raids; they locate the
wounded lying In No Mans Land. and
are real pal to many thousands or
homesirk soldiers. A proposal to abol-
iSh dogs is about as sensible as II pro-
posnl to abolish nephews. and has
ABOUT as much chance of succeeding

Bluff That Failed.

General Plumer, who has recently
been recalled to France from Italy,
can be very ironical when he chooses,
as the following story proves:
Shortly before the war, when he
held the Irish command, regiment
was being maneuvered before him on
field day, and the colonel in charge
succeeded in getting his men mixed up
pretty thoroughly.
However, he went grimly on, and at
last, calling halt. rode up to Plumer
with an air of importance.
~ flatter myself that was extremely
well done, sir" he said, evidently with
the idea of trying to bluff that moth
ing had gone wrong.
"Oh, excellent" was General Plum
er's suave reply. "But may l ask what
on earth you were trying to doT-

Zeppelin Limitations.

Baslng his statements on accurate
measurements OF Zeppelin that was
brought down In England last Octo.
Der, on known facts regarding the
lifting power of hydrogen gas, on the
state of the barometer during the
flight, on the temperature of the air
recorded in the arship'S log, .1hadoo
Jahoz writes in Aeronautcs as fol-
lows:
"It would appear from the forego-
ing that the latest type of Zeppelin
Is designed to attain Il height or
1900 to $4,000 feet when over its OBJ
iective and after dropping its bombs,
but is capable of going even higher un-
der stress of circumstances and at the
risk of suffering some slight damage
on returning to It's base.
"Thcse conclusions accord well with
Mr.. Warner Aliens statements that
these airShips are built with view to
hying between 10000 and $4,000 feet.
OF course, on short flight they could

The recent survey made by the Food
Adn,I nj strators Of the Allied countries
o. the food resources of the 22o,C0o, 900
people fighting Germany shows that to
maintain sufficient suppies and neces.
sary reserves against possible disaster
there must be maintained in the entire
Allied world q conservation OF wheat
flour during the coming year.
II has been agreed that the wheat
bread of our Allies shall contain 20 per
cent. Of other grains than wheat, and
it is only fair that We should bear our
share In this saving.
For this purpose, regulations have
been formulated, effective September
1st, providing for the preparation and
marketing of mixed flours. These flours
will be labeled "Victory Mixed Flour
and sold without offsstting cereals.
Standard wheat Hour may still be
purchased, however, at the rate Of four
pounds to each pound Of corn Hour,
barley flour, or cornmeal, thus repeal
Ing the fifty-fifty order.
This repeal, however. is not intend
ed to convey the fact that wheat thrift
may now be disc continued. The Food
Administration still depends upon tho
loyal cooperation Of the American
people to purchase in moderation and
continue the economy which has made
possible this let up in the regulations

ALLIED CALL FOR BEEF
SPLENDIDLY MET BY U. S. 4.

During the fiscal year, 1917-191S, the
United States shipped to allied destina
tions 3,100, 100000 pounds of meats and
fats, an increase of S44,60O,000 pounds
over the shipments Of the preceding
year.
In June alone 92,173,OOO pounds OF
beef and 169,331,O0O pounds of pork
went overseas, though the pre-war
monthly shipment of those two meats
averaged only 1,066,000 and 41,53l 900
pounds month.
This shipment to our Allies was
made possible because of the splendid
response of the American people to
the appeal of ther Food Admin.stra.
tor. AS result it was possible to lift
the restrictions on beef month sooner
than had been calculated. Thrift is
still asked for, but 1t Is no longer re.
quired of public eating places to serve
beef at only one meal day or for
householders to limit their weeks pur-
chases to 20 ounces Of clear beef per
person.
Extreme drought in the southwest
has resulted in bringing lot OF cattle
to market and therefore Marylanders
are requested to turn their atteItlon
to the lighter grades of meat In order
to save the heavier qualities for over
seas shipment.

Western Soldiers Ruuued.

The "early to bed and early to RISE
slogan is noticeable on the faces OF
the boys in khaki who are arriving
here from the West and other parts of
the country. These youths are GER
tainly typical of the real American
Health brawn and muscle are their
principal characteristics and with all
this there is certain amount of chiv-
airy that is not seen in New York.
The average New Yorker is pale in
dividual. Indoor work, Of course, Is
responsible for this and he always Is
in such a hurry that he thinks of no
one but himself. Some of the New
York youths marvel at the appearance
of these visitors from the West. They
cannot understand why they should be
so ruddy. The explanation is easy.
1t is because they spend more time In
the open. Nevertheless the appearance
of the boys from other parts of the

Insects That Have Food Value

Among insects which have been and

well as by the Indians of North and

whether there shall be an advance in
price for spring wheat.
The possibility of peace before the
