Enforce Fire Laws
In National Forests

Notwithstanding the very hazard
Gus condition now prevailing thruout
the intermountain country, reports
of Numerous cases Of carelessness
with fire within the National forests
are being received by the Ogden Of
fee of the forest service. A rigor-
Gus enforcement of the state and
federal laws prohibiting carelessness
in use of fire on public lands is to-
day being ordered by the forest
service.
In his letter Of instruction to the
field officers, the district forester
calls attention to the fact that the
newspapers of the intermountain
territory have for years given wide
publicity to the need for care in the
use of fire on open lands. In addi-
ton, the National forests are plenti-
fully sprinkled with posters and no.
tees quoting the federal laws and
the penalties prescribed. for viola
tons thereof. The states also have
laws on their statute books to which
wide publicity has been given by
state officers. Notwithstanding
these facts, hundreds of fires due to
human agency occur each year and
most of them bear evidence Of wilful
neglect or gross carelessness. The
interests at stake are too great to
permit continuance of this condi-
ton, and hereafter, persons guilty
of starting forest fires will be prose-
cuted to the full extent of the law.

CARE OF THE DOG IN SUMMER

August Is nearly always spoken
Of as dog days" but the name does
not represent the fact from the dog s
standpoint. Indeed, such treat
ment is accorded him that the hot
weather often sees an end to his So
journ among us. During the very
hot days we do everything to make
ourselves comfortable. We change
our diet, clothing and manner of liv-
ing, and forget the dog. Sometimes
his own efforts to obtain relief are
thwarted by the children, who alone
of all animals seem to be oblivious
to the scorching weather and who
seem rendered more active and full
of mischief by the very oppression
which wearies us all. Perhaps a
plea for consideration will not fall
upon barren ground.
The first consideration should be
that of quenching the dogs thirst.
In many cases he Is parched with
thirst while the drinking water is
just beyond his nose tantalizing him
to the point of madness. Provide
for your dogs comfort as we'll as
y
water in an accessible place and
keep it as cool as possible. Out of
doors make some arrangement for
a trough or water-pan, where the
dog can find it, lest he may suffer
the consequences Of drinking foul
water, which is often disastrous
II you have been urged to keep
stick Of sulphur in the water and
cannot resist, be assured that it is
as harmless as the water itself, but
has no cooling virtue.
Sulphur may be used to advantage
in cooling the dog In real hot weather
but it should not be used in stick
form. Mix equal parts of powdered
sulphur and magnesia thoroly to-
gether and put as much as will cover
q ten cont piece In the evening meal.
Continue this treatment for a week,
stirring the medicine we'll into the
food each night. This will be found
to have cooling effect and will help
to keep the animal in condition. II
your dog is small one, smaller than
a fox terrier, reduce this prescribed
dose by half. The skin is the surest
indication of the dogs condition, and
if it feels burning the above treat
ment should be begun at once.
Indigestible food, tainted water,
too much green food, dirty kennel,
or a number Of allied causes, may re-
suit In diarrhea. Prevention is the
safest and best cure. Small doses
of castor oil will often give relief.
If f1eas or other parasites bother
the dog, get rid of them as quickly as
possible. Mix two drains of anise-
seed oil with three ounces of ether
and spray into the dogs fur by
means of an atomizer.
: Too much fondling or teasing will
often bring on commissions in a
puppy. Rest and quiet will do more
to cure the dog of these than any
thing else.
The dogs diet should be changed
when the thermometer goes up.
Don't keep on feeding fat and heat
ing food If you wish to have him

ACTION BETTER THAN WORDS
How Lieutenant Colonel WhittIesey
Answered the Boche Demand
That He Surrender.

Lieut.. Col. Charles W. Whittlesey,
commander Of the "Lost Battalion"
and winner Of the first congressional
medal Of the war, has been dubbed
Go-to-Hell Whittlesey, because of his
reputed pithy answer to the German
demand to surrender. Now comes
Lieut.. Arthur McKeogh, adjutant Of
the battalion, with the complete story
which he tells In Everybody's. "As
matter Of fact" writes Lieutenant
McKeogh, "the colonel sent back no
written answer whatever. To those
nearest him he did suggest that the
Boches could take the well-known easy
descent. But the most complete, prac-
teal and splendid answer that could
have been made to the German pro-
posal he made as he finished reading
the note.
ION the side Of the hill our airplane
lfaisoa agent had spread out his panel
to Indicate the battalion's position to
the divisional planes that had been try
ing to drop message cylinders and
even food within reach Of the COM
n1and. That panel was an equilateral
cloth triangle, more than six feet long.
Moreover, with the exception Of small
black patch, 1t was white. The
thought sprang into the colonel's mind
that inclined as twas on comparatively
open ground, the big signal device was
visible in the Boche lines.
And It was white. Messages and food
were essential enough, God knows, but
suppose the. Germans mistook that
panel for surrender

TOO few USE THEIR BRAINS
Result TruthfuIIy May Be Said to Be
the Greatest Waste In tho
World.

The recent invention which renders
wireless transmission Independent Of
atmospheric conditions and the dis
covery by which seven messages can
be sent simultaneously over a tele-
phone wire are striking instances Of
latent possibilities long unsupported.
For thousands of years we did not
even suspect the existence Of cleo.
tricity, and, being ignorant, derived
no advantage from 1t.
If we had never heard music, we
would say 1t was merely the dream Of
a simpleton to expect the most beauti-
ful harmony Of sounds from a combi-
nation Of wood, intestines Of q dead
cat and hairs from the tail Of horse.
But the violin, plus the man who
knows how, accomplishes the wonder
full result.
Active talent is the source Of both
quantity and quality Of production,
and that does not lie in capital but
in men, and it usually is latent.
Every man has power and courage,
but not all of them know 1t.

ton of the war department, approved
of course by Secretary Baker in pur-

demonstration of the need for the
house inquiry which the Graham
committee is beginning. It was
clearly disclosed that a number of
the Democrats were as deeply dis
satisfied as Republicans with import
ant phases Of the war department g
course.
The senate cut the salary Of G. w.
Hare, director of sales Of the war
department, now $4,000 a year. to

HE DIED IN FRANCE
Helen M. Richardson

| Helen NJ. Richardson
In sunny France a nameless un.
marked grave
O'ergrown by poppies, matined by
! the birds,
Proclaims the resting place of one
who fell
That earth it's liberty might still re.
tain.
Ununiformed, 'unhelmeted he went
No thought of well-earned glory fol-
a shield.
In sunny France, unmpurned his
body lies.
He knew not why he went; at mans
behest
He Jared him forth upon that sum-
mer day
Caparisoned with naught but faith
full love
For one who companied him upon
the way.
Amid the deafening roar of bursting
shells
nd smoke that blurred his return
he went down
And left his rider to escape un-
harmed.
A horse,-you say;-but when a
human life
Is, saved what matters that horse
should fall!
say it is a hero's grave that hides
Beneath the poppies red in sunny
France.
He fell as falls the man behind the
+ gun,
With no less courage in his faithful
heart.
May he not claim his recompense,
perchance,
When angels pass the word-he died
in France?

facilities elsewhere, especially al
Fort Sill, Okla This, however, was
by no means the only purchase which
was criticised, and it was made clear
that the secretary of war had done
a thing which congress might have
sanctioned had the war continued,
nut which the coming on of peace
made very different.
Uses Plain Language
Senator Lenroot used plain Ian
guage in expressing his view Of the
matter. He said:
"Mr. President, assuming that the
committees of either of the houses
had expressed approval of project
fthis kind, it did not in the least
degree warrant the war department
in time of peace in using money ap-
propriated for war purposes for a
mp that had never been author
lied by congress. Never been auth
orized! The fact is that the house
committee on appropriations ex-
pressly refused to make specific
appropriation for Camp Benning.
The committee on military affairs of
the senate never did reconsider it's
action; it never did by tie vote de-
cline to express any opinion concern
ing it. What did happen before the
committee was this: Effort was
made to have the committee recon-
slider it's action disappearing the
project, and that motion failed by q
tie vote. That is what happened. So
that the action of the military af-
fairs committee stands today as dis
approvings this project; and, not
withstandfng the fact that the war
department or the secretary Of war
had no moral right to take these
millions of dollars of the govern
ment's money and put 1t into this
camp than I would have the right
to steal so much money from my
neighbor, nevertheless they have
gone on and expended millions of
dollars upon this site out of appro-
priations made by congress for the
purpose Of carrying on the war. The
result is we are now obligated to an
expenditure of $2,800,000 for the
purchase of this land"
Senator Lenroot, however, was by
no means alone in his criticism. !,
Senator King of Utah, Senator
Mcclellan of Tennessee, and other
democratic senator's were equally
emphatic.
Senator King declared the action
of the war department was "repre-
hensible," fragrant abuse Of power"
and that a fitting rebuke should be
administered to executive officers,
who fly in the face Of decency, honor
and propriety." He called for pun
ishment THOSE responsible for the
waste.
Senator Owen of Oklahoma was
also critical Of the proceeding. He
called the departments method of
dealing with war supplies Infinitely

BY this method you can always have the

Karo is fine, clear syrup, with a natural

It blends the fruit with the sugar, doing
away with one Of the great difficulties Of

You can depend on it that fruit put up
