-every dog has his day," le an old
proverb earl it seems that In at least
one country at the pt safest time the
dogs are really having their day. An
interview with an official of the
V tenon Animal Hospital printed la a
recent issue of the Neuss Wiener
Journal brings to light tbe following
rather unusual facts.
"11 Is a tact that persona frequent-
ly come here early in the morning
seeking dogs before our onee hours
begin. Moat of them are wives of
buslaees men, foremen, professional
men„ and others, wbo have been
called to the colors, but there ate
also women who have learned that
we have alce dogs for distribution
and, coaeegosntly, come looking for
these faithful and trustworthy guar-
dians, especially In view of the
wholesale robberies and the sinister
actMities of numerous gangs of
youthful thieves. Ae you know, a
close watch has to be kept over the
power belts ID the factories to pre-
vent their disappearance, as is also
the case with lumber is the yards
and all kinds of goods :a the storru
and warehouses.
The article gopa on to say that
the dog hate become a most des.red
animal and that people willingly

Dogs are very expeuaive, espec
if they are keen -eased and loyal gu

however, are not 111 style.
Other years many persons have
put an end to their dogs wben It was
time to pay the New Year tax but
this year there was a great falling
off In the number of dogs extermi-
nated.
Many of the women owning dogs
have husbands at the front and are
afraid to stay alone, and so they keep
a shaggy companion to give warning
of the preseace of strangers at the
door.

'-would fill the news-
papers. As it is,
you simply read of
so many tons of
shipping sunk by
submarines.
Yet from the few
words you read, you
must picture scores of scenes like the illustra-
tion. 15,000 men of this service, not officially
recognized by the governments, have suffered
death in order that sold' rs, munitions and food
may cross the ocean. Re ember their widows
and orphans, dependent fo life itself on your
generosity.
Let Your Donation Be
An Appreciation of
This Sacrifice!
As each day sees new victims of the U -Boat, more
and more mouths wait to be fed—widows and orphans,
who cannot look to governments for relief.
"They shall not want!" Say this in the only way
that counts—by your contribution.
WE MUST listen to the call that comes from the
deep—"Remember the Lusitania I Remember Captain
Fryatt I Remember the 176 vessels lost, together with all
trace of crew and cargo! Remember the 15,000 men of
the Merchant Marini, who have already made the supreme
sacrifice! Remember the widows and orphans!"
