We entered small room, where we
were given five minutes to undress,
then filed into the bathroom. In here
there were fifteen tubs (barrels sawed
in two) half full Of water. Each tub
contained piece Of laundry soap. The
sergeant informed us that we had just
twelve minutes in which to take our
baths. Soaping ourselves all over, we
took turns in rubbing each others

washed the soap off. The water was

ones were covered with soap, but this
made no difference to the sergeant
who chased us into another room
where we lined up in front of a little
window, resembling the bCX office in a
theater, and received clean underwear
and towels. From here we went into
the room where we had first undressed.
Ten minutes were allowed in which to

and civil laws, texts illuminated and

while.
That is one big phase of the dog
question-thls fact that the presence
Of too many dogs prevents the general
raising of animals whose flesh and
wool are both seriously needed for
our armies overseas. But it is phase
Of it that does not necessarily come
into consideration at all. OF course
your dog is not a sheep-killing dog.
NobOdy's dog ever was a sheep-kllling
dog - until, suddenly, some mans
sheep were slaughtered and that dog
was found to have blood on his chaps
and wool in his teeth.
The United States department of
agriculture is not an enemy to the
dog - it recognizes certain definite
uses for that animal but it realizes
that the country could get on mighty
well with much fewer dogs than 1t
has, and that both the actual and po-
tential meat supply of the country
would be greatly increased thereby.
It has recently sent out several ap-
peals on that point. If you have
dog that serves a genuinely useful
purpose, keep him. He is good citi-
zen. But to help in the worlds sal
vation, get rid of the useless dog!

But the chaplain is empty-handed,
and is at the mercy OF the enemy If
he encounters them, so 1t is doubly
brave for him to go over the top, under
fire, and bring in wounded. Also a
chaplain is not required by the kings
regulations to go over in charge, but
this one did, made three trips under
the hottest kind of fire, each time re-
turning with wounded man on his

learned that q Of our men had been
killed and 81 wounded. Five men were
missing; lost in the darkness, they
must have wandered over into the Ger.
man lines, where they were either
killed or captured.
Speaking Of stretcher bearers and
wounded, it Is very hard for the aver
age civilian to comprehend the enor-
nous cost Of taking care Of wounded
and the war in general. He or she gets
so accustomed to seeing billions Of dol
lars In print that the significance of
the amount Is passed over without
thought.
From an official statement published
in one of the London papers, 1t is
stated that 1t costs between six and
seven thousand pounds ($30,000 to $685.
000) to kill or wound soldier. This
result was attained by taking the cost
of the war to date and dividing 1t by
the killed and wounded.
1t may sound heartless and lnhuman,
but it is fact, nevertheless, that from
a military standpoint 1t is better for
man to be killed than wounded.

GIRLS AND BOYS CLOTHING

For "dress-up" occasions the girls
will require two or more sets of lin
gerie underwear, notes correspond

save time in making and laundering.
Trimmings may be simple homemade
edgings, feather stitching, rickrack
braid or one of the durable torchon
or cluny edges. Sunday frOcks will be
of white and may be of poplin or CAB
erdine in the severer one-pIece styles,
or of muslin in q softer design showing
gathers and frills.

Observation-Disclosures.
HOW DOG LOVERS CAN AID.

The dog rightfully holds
strong place in the minds and
affections of men.
The owner of a good dog finds
in him a most faithful friend.
But it sometimes happens that
the dog most highly esteemed is
also one that kills and worries
the most sheep and is the most
cunning in Obscuring the evil
dences of his guilt.
A well-bred dogs habit Of ly-
ing innocently asleep in the
front yard during daytime is no
proof that the same dog does
not kill sheep at night.
Because of the economic loss
occasioned by sheep-killing dogs,
and because such dogs bring
the whole of their kind into bad
repute, the true admirers and
friends of this animal should
help to further any steps nKely
to result in the limitation Of the
activity Of these discrediting
members of a noble race.
One of the most practicable
methods of accomplishing this
result seems to be to place upon
dogs such a tax as will reduce
the number of superfuOus ones
and result in fewer being kept
by persons who cannot or will
not give them the attention nee
essary to prevent the formation
of habits and associations that
lead to sheep killing.

Milk as a Food.

Economy In the diet does not always
depend upon limiting the use Of GER
tain foods, but it is sometimes ques-
tion Of actually increasing the use Of
foods which furnish nutritlve material
at relatively low cost. Milk belongs
to the latter class, and the housewife
would do we'll to study its food value
and decide whether her family is using
as much as it should. The average
person In this country uses only a
little more than half a pint Of milk
daily, and this quantity can very prof
itably be increased when safe milk is
available.
Many people think Of milk only as
beverage, but If they understood that
it is in reality a nourishing food they
would increase their daily allowance.
We eat foods for two main reasons:
First, to renew body wastes and pro-
mote growth by forming new tissues
and fluids; and, second, to supply en-
ergy for carrying on body functions.
Milk contains the bodybuilding mate
rials (proteln and mineral substances,
such as lime and phosphorus), and
also supplies energy.
The following table, compiled by
specialists Of the department Of agri-
culture, shows the quantities of vari-
GUS foods needed to supply as much
protein or energy as one quart Of
milk:

ON GUARD

At this time of the year people feel weak, tired, listless, their blood is thin, they have lived indoors and perhaps expended all their mental and bodily energy and they want to know how to renew their energy and stamina, over come headaches and backaches, have clear eyes, a smooth, ruddy skin, and feel the exhilaration of real good health tingling thru their body. Good, pure, rich, red blood is the best insurance against ills of all kinds. Almost all diseases come from impure and impov- erished blood. It is to be noticed in the pale or pimply face, the tired, haggard appearance or the listless manner.
 Drink hot water half hour before meals, and for vegetable tonic there's nothing better than Dr. Pierces Golden Medical Discovery, the old-fashioned herbal remedy, which has had such a fine reputation for fifty years. It con- tains no alcohol or narcotics. It is made from Golden Seal root, Blood root, Oregon grape root, Queens root, Black Cherry bark, extracted with gly- cerine and made into tablets and liquid. Tablets sixty cents, at most drug stores.
 In order to insure pure blood and to build up the system try this tonic known as pr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. Get it now!
