Yt wo iiuvo him u uniform of white,
With a ctiiiiMoh vvota on hit flunk.
And hi Wfiii IiIk rnnw with a luillly iido.
Ah he rar-d throUKh a wa of mud, O
Till the whin of hi uniform wa ilyutl
With the uoiiiK flow of a crimson thlo
And Ills crosa wns a a i near of blood.
Ills post was a lino where the wounded piled,
And hU chief wan a HUi jit'on'M nun.
A man union; men, wlih the heart of a child,
A itiawter of mercy who worked uml winlled
And who mulled when hln work was done.
And the two toiled on for ihelr cu.iliy'n weul,
ln honored unarineil udhuiik-
A handaKO. a wpotiK'- and a spul to kneel,
In a turturltiK tempest of xpllntercd Hteel,
On it short hour's sleep and u bone.
Tin- man had a mlnlon lo ease the palu
Of his brothers Who fell nml bled,
And his dog went out on a Kan-soaked plain,
To snuffle and sniff through tho mounds of slain
Kor the living am mis the dead;
And many u mother, who knelt and prayed
At the cross for her battling son,
May ever thank Clod that his death was stayed
In a cause of a cro that won.
It won through the rush of a, trampling host,
Over shattered and hcavintf Rfound,
Where a dust-cloud hung llku u devil's ghost
And the weal kum thundered Iroin coast to eoanl,
Till tlto whole world shook with tho sound;
Where the hut shells Hcreamed and the shrapnel nana;
To the 1kih.su boom of the guns,
Where tho bayonets clashed and the rifles Hang
With a resonant, roaring, crash I ni? clang.
In the path of the blood-mud Huns.
The whistles shrilled! And the K'uy hordes burst
From u sulphurous pall of smoke,
To falter and reel, like a man athlrsl.
Vet onward, In waves of a sea accursed.
And our thin lines wavered and broke.
i
Itack, back we were bent, till a counter-blow
WriN launched In a turbulent tide.
And khaki columns were locked with tho foe,
In a dizzily-tumbling whirlpool flow,
Where the billows of fury ride.
Where tho Kau-le clawed at a Vulture's crest
And tore with his benk at a crown.
There n surgeon lay, with a while hand presl
To a wound in his undefended breast,
When a 1'i-iisshtn had struck him down,
Hut the war dog stood by his fallen mate.
Then straight fur a throat he leaped,
And another note In the, hymn of hate
WaH ripped from Its scroll by tho fangs or Fate,
In n harvest of horror reaped.
i
And a dog had reaped. In the princely pride
Of a trust that should live unmarred,
Though tho bullets scorched through his quivering hide,
Till ho sank to earth at his mauler's side
rnconiiuercd and still on guard! V
Jlo crouched by his own, like a brother's twin,
And with blood on his bristling fur.
"Hy Clod!" screiuned a boy. In the battle's din,
''I'm going out yonder and bring him in!' '
And he went through hell for a cur. 1
Hut the cur recoiled from Hit) pitying hand
That was stretched for his own relief,
And snarled at the buy, iu a hoarse command
Thul even a human could understand,
Ho he stooped for the helpless chief.
llo lirted him up on his strong young back,
And the dog saluted In joy -With
a hark as clear as a rifle's crack,
Then he dragged himself on tbo shot-swept track
Of the staggering,, reeling hoy.
And our line went mad, to Its roaring rear,
with tho homage of houIh astir,
While the trenches rocked with a triple cheer
Kor those who had laughed In the faco of Fear;
For a nftin! For a hoy! And a cur!
Did the chief pass out? Did the war flog die.
lhl the chief pass mil? I'M the war dog die,
And his mission of mercy fall?
Kb answered himself and gave us Hut lie,
In th gleam of one swollen, blood-shot eyo
And n wag uf Ills bleeding tail.
Through battered Belgium and wrath-riven France.
Where. tho banners f Itrltaln wavo.
Ho lolled In a nebulous morphia trance,
Ah ho rolled iu n Hod Cross ambulance,
And cheated u warrior's grave.
At ihu hospital base his cheating was worse,
If Ihe -theft of our hearts be sin.
For ho sponged on a mnjor-gencrat's purse,
And licked the lears from the cheek of his nurse,
As she tenderly tucked him In.
H they gave him another cross lo wear,
Though they wanted to glvn him ten;
hut he kept Just two which was Just and fair
Tho cross on his flank uml a Croix do lluerre,
Fur the envy of lesser men.
Yet. he only asks, with a pleading paw.
When thin madness of Might shall cease.
To hold In your bosoms one human law:
Itomumber uur dogs In the days of war
And our dogs In tho days of peace.

Simple Extract From Ox's Liver Puts Drugs to Shamel

DULL AND. HEADACHY DAYS GONE FOREVER!

I If you are a sufferer from con
I slipation,' sick headaches and mls
; erable logy days, and have tried
'everything in the world to get rid
! i the trouble, this is your salva
; tlon! You can throw away your
j drugs and with a simple producl
of nature cm-reel your constipation
! for good, enjoy a healthy, complete
'.evacuation every day and be- HMI

I getlc.
Nothing less than ox gall, a se
cretion from heef livers, has been
found to be a remarkable correc-
tive of constipation because of Its
Miction on the howelfi through- the
liver. Constipation is a condition
that shows your liver is not acting
right. Your liver Is not pouring
enough bile into the bowels. 1 silo
Is u natural purgative and the bow
els require a quart a day at least.
l!ut often, due to sluggish liver, the
; supply Is less than half a pint.
'.Then the bowels "tie up," become
I sort of paralyzed and you have eon
uiinttlon. -
Ox gall stimulates the liver In u
perfectly natural way strengthens
and builds up the liver so that it
produces the necessary amount, of ;
bile lor the bowels. When the
bowels get sufficient bile they move :
automatically every day. freely,
easily and fully, and yuu n.loy
vour full' measure of glorious
: health.
Try the ox wall treatment for just
a few days and see the U f fere nee '
it makes! The treatment consists
; simply of taking two Dioxol tablets
a day at bedtime for a short time.
Dioxol tablets are genuine ox gall.
, guaranteed, in dainty tasteless
! form, each tablet containing 1 (I
dropH of the pure ox gall. The ;
treatment is inexpensive, as Dioxol
tablets cost less than 2c apiece at
any good drug store. It is essen- 1
tint that you gel the genuine, lnire ,
ox 'gall and for this reason It - Is
i Important to ask for Dioxol tablets.
. .Make a :t-day test of this treatment
and see the joyous change. Special

Is Your Light Bill Higher Now?
That probably nieaus 'you're saving on your gasoline and tin;
bill, cutting down oir Vodas 'and excursions . . , staying
around home more these cool nights.
During the fall and winter months you will naturally be using
more electricitv than you did last summer when days were longer
and the weather called you out-of-doors evenings. Xow .the
whole family enjoys the comfort of lighted, lamps conveniently
near, of quick little electric heaters glowing warmly. In fact, all ;
your appliances -are .'doubtless' doing heavier duty, particularly
the cooking appliances,-for this is the "hungry season", when sub
stantial hot meals-are most popular. '
j .'.'-.
And so if your electricity bill begins to increase slightly at this
time of the year, remember that it's because you're enjoying in
creased electrical service and convenience, that you're actually
using almost twice as much electricity as you did in June!
