The Brussels Post, 1916-6-1, Page 7tee-- , A te --- A TEMIS, TUE FAMOUS VAR DOG 11P, IILJ UPERA'IES IN A FRENCH Y IHOSPI'PAL. Sent From the\Front After Year and a Half, of Hard Werle Artemis is the name of the most famous of all the war dogs in France. Ills picture is in lloueeholds through- out the country ;and his'name and history are on the tongue ot, every French child. So the news that Ar- temis has just been invalided back from the front is an item of national importance., It is with relief that the public has learned that he can bo made fit for further duty. Of all the services rendered by dumb animals sincethe beginning of the war, those of Artemis ought to take first place: No dumb animal, besides, has been so 'conspicuously honored in a military way and none conceivably could show greater ap- preciation of the recognition accorded to his services. Artemis, from the point of here- dity, is a rather complex 'creature. Danish in his powerfulframe, he ob viously is related to •.the French mountain sheep dog, by his gray' coat touched with brown. But he is truly Parisian, having been born in the outskirts of the city, and is familiar with its' principal thorough- fares.

Saved Detachment. THIN 13100DED PEOPLE Often Become Seriously 111 Be- fore They Realize It. Some people havo a tendency to be* conic thin -blooded just as others have an ' inherited tendency to' 'rheumatism or 'nervous disorders. The condition in which rho blood becomes so thin that the whole body suffers comes on so gradually that anyone with a na- tural disposition in that direction should watch the symptoms carefully. Bloodlessness can be corrected more easily in the eatlier stages than later. It begins with a tired feeling that rest does not overcome, the complexion becomes pale, slight exertion produces breathlessness and headaches and backaches frequently follow. In the treatnient of troubles due to thin blood no other medicine has had such a great success as Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. They go right to the root of the trouble, make rich, red blood, thus restoring the weakened system to health and strength. Mr. R. F. Ash- ford, Peterboro, Ont., says: "Four years ago my condition became so serious that it seemed to me I pos- sessed every pain and ache and every morbid feeling possible. For months' I had been overworked, and bereave- ment added the last straw necessary to bleak" down my constitution. I had a severe ever-present headache and pains in the back of the eyes, and at the same time I was seldom free from severe neuralgic pains. I was rarely hungry, and when I was it 'seemed to create a morbidness which made my other ills harder to bear. Of course I consulted a doctor, and he told me a rest and a change of air, just the After many struggles and many dif- ficult forced marches, they ultimately were established on the banks of the Yser. Artemis from the beginning of the campaign had gained renown for his exceptional .scent and hie ex- traordinary sense of hearing, which proved of the greatest service in re- connaissance work in which he fre- quently took part. h that I should take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I was decidedly. skeptical, but she got some and bo please her I took them: The result—After the fixst box I was compelled to admit that I really did feel better. After the sec- ond box I ungrudgingly admitted that they were doing me good, and after the sixth box I felt free from every ache and pain and in gratitude I be- gan to praise the pills to others. I am feeling -as fit as I did twenty years ago and I owe it to Dr. Williams' Pink General Luigi Cadorna, Italy's Lead ing Soldier, is the son of a distinguished Italian general of the. nineteenth century, Rafael Cadorna, who, in his younger days, won the Legion of Honor while fighting as a volunteer for France in Algeria, and later did brilliant work as an Army Corps commander against the Austrians in 1868. The present Italian commander-in-chief is in his sixty-sixth year. In 1886 and the years following, as a staff officer at- tached to the Fifth Army Corps' sat Verona, he made a' minute study, tramping on foot es an ordinary sightseer, of the Alpine districts where the Italians are now fighting. Gen. Cadorna's military notes then made, as a fact, form the hand -book which the Italian officers at the front are now using with advantage. As colonel of the loth Bersaglieri in 1891 ho proved a master of the tactics of BEER KEGS WEAPONS OF WAR, Austrians Use Them as Bombs—Fire Them From Cannons, An Italian correspondent writes that the Austrians are now making use of a wooden bomb on the Corso front. The bomb looks like a cask, its outer shell being, in fact, composed of wood- en staves with iron hoops, and it is large enough to contain 220 pounds, of explosives. For the purposes of firing this "beer -cask" bomb is placed in- the mouth of a 420 millimetre gun like a great cork. It does not travel far, and causes far more noisy than destruc- tion. The ` Italians are puzzled'to know. why the Austrians bother about them at all. One reason suggested is that it enables the Austrians to use up the innumerable casks lying idle at the Pilsen breweries now that the export of the famous Pilsen' lager has been stopped. The same correspondent states that the Italiana are using the Roman hel- met for outpost work and in the trenches. Ib is said to be better than the new French helmet, inasmuch as different fibre. it protects the neck and jugular as The pity is, though, that these dis- well. aoveries are either too costly for pro - 1. - duction or that the substances are un- obtainable in Europe, Don't Live in the K 1tc b en— Emancipate yourself from kitchen worry by learning the food value of Shredded Wheat Biscuit.You can prepare a most wholesome, nourishing meal in a few moments by heating a few Shredded Wheat Biscuits in the oven to restore crispness; then cover with berries and serve with milk or cream. • NICKEL VS. PAPER• Wood Pulp Ie Not the Sole Paper Material. Edison is not alarmed by the paper scare; he foresees the day when nickel will be auhstituted for paper in hooka. He estimates that a sheet of nickel one twenty -thousandth of an inch thick is cheaper, more flexible, and more durable than en ordinary sheet of notepaper. The weight would not be great either, for a nickel book, containing forty thousand pages, would only weigh one'pound, and only be two inches thick. The Japanese are wonderful paper manufacturers, paper being put to far more uses in Japan than in Europe, and they cultivate a certain mulberry osier' solely for the use of its bark in paper manufacture, Wood pulp is not by any means the sole paper material, for at the Paris Exhibition of 1889 sixty webs, or rolls, of paper were displayed, each roll being made from a different fibre.

The latter, however, arose to attack him as the officer passed, and was about to deal a mortal blow from behind, when Artemis sprang at him, seized him by the throat and strangled him. RUSSIAN GIFTS TO JAPAN. ConcessionsAre Made In Return for War Munitions. According to the Asahi, of Tokio,' negotiations have been concluded be- , tween Japan and Russia for the trans- ler to Japan of the section . of the Eastern Chinese Railway south of the Sungari. Russia, it is said, also has agreed to give better treatment to that Japanese residents of Asiatic Russia,i The concessions have been made by the Russian Government in payment for the stores of war munitions pro- cured from Japan for use of the Rus- sian armies on the east front and in the Caucasus region, The present state of Russian finances, according to the Asahi, does not permit cash payments to be made for the war sup- plies obtained from Japan. The Jap- anese publication states that as the transfer of the railroad means also the transfer of the influence on the coun- try about it, the Willingness of Russia to part with the raihead shows her good will and friendly spirit toward Japan. It is suggested that Russia In view of her change in policy after the Russo-Jepd.lese war could have no strong objections to the extension of Japanese influence as fat as Harbin, in Manchuriit, silica Russia is now more interested ill' the building of the Amur railway. • "He who has health has hope, And he who has hope has everything."

I While clothed with legal authority the probation officer in a friendly ;capacity advises, assists, encourages ,both parent and child so that the child may remain in his home and be- ' come a good citizen. Likewise the object in bringing a youthful offender before the Children's 'Court (which should not be done bast- ily) . is not to convict him of guilt, but to find out how he can be encour- 1aged,inspired and helped in noble liv- ing.

The Munich commandant has is- sued an order giving power to the police to effect the arrest of ladies who are very fashionably dressed, says an Amsterdam despatch. Con; I spicuous dress., it was stated, meant waste, which was not permissible in war time. The first arrest occurred within two hours of the issue of the order, the lady arrested belonging to one of the best military families in Bavaria. She was taken to the polico head- quarters, but was released after a few hours' detention, after being warned to dregs in a more simple fashion., The Munich papers are unanimous in their protest against the order, under which the polico are made the judge of ladies' fashions and of pro- priety in dress.
