Santa Claus being about to desert
the city streets for his annual rein
deer ride over the roofs, the waits
prepare to sing their centuries old
carols.
In several American cities has been
revived the beautiful old custom of
the "waits" going about from house
to house singing the familiar old
songs. Light the Christmas candles
in your window if you want them to
stop before your home!
God rest you merry, gentlemen; let
nothing you dismay-
they will surely sing that, perhaps
the best known of all old English
carols. And this too:
Hark! The herald angels sing,
Glory to the newborn king.
And, of course, 30 Little Town of
Bethlehem"
Perhaps, too, they will sing what is
said to be the earliest known Christ
mas carol, dating from the Anglo
Norman days of the thirteenth GEN.

Lordlings. listen to our lay
We have come from far away
To seek Christmas.
In this mansion we are told
He his yearly feast doth hold;
'Tis today!
Nav ioy come from God above
To all those who Christmas love.
This carol ends with the toast of
those days:
"Here, then, | bid you all wassall,
cursed be he who will not say drink
hail" "Wassair meaning your
health and "drinkhail" being the usual
and courteous acknowledgment.
One of the best known of all the old
carols, ALTHOUGH not one Of the oldest

and is called the "Song of the An

Post Exchanges Furnish
Little Luxuries Which
Make Camp Life Pleasant.

Men at the cantonment buy many
articles at the post exchanges for less
money than they would have to pay
in their hometown stores. And the
post exchange manager is authority
for the statement that 10000 men
make tremendous demand for 5-cent
packages of candy. About o'clock
in the afternoon there is general
rush for apples, sweet crcakers, and
coffee or milk, despite the fact that
big dinners will be ready couple OF
hours later
/ The problem of supplying the men
T, in Army cantonments with small ne
cessities and luxuries which the Gov
: ernment does not furnish is met by
the Commission on Training Camp
Activities through these post ex-
changes. They are to be found at
each cantonment, there being as rule
one exchange for each regiment.
Each carries an average of $4,000
worth of goods.
Business is nearly all done on a
credit basis. Men obtain books of
5 and 10 cent coupons and pay for
them at the end of the month. Post
exchanges average $1,000 a day in
sales, and as there are about 25O IN
operation, the yearly business WILL ag-
gregate many millions of dollars.
Cymnasiums and Workshops
1 Included in Plans for Care
of Injured Soldiers.
Plans for caring for members of
the expeditionary forces who may be
returned from Europe unfit for furth-
er service include, beside the neces-
sary surgical and medical attention,
instruction in the use of injured and
artificial limbs, and vocational train
ing. The experience of Canada and
European allies in this work has been
of great value to the United States
Government in arranging it's plans.
Equipment for heat treatments and
electric and hydro therapy will be
provided; pymnasiums will furnish on
portunity for special exercise for re-
education in the use of joints, mus
cles. and nerves which have been af-
fected in service; in curative work
shons the man will perform useful
work which at the same time Will
bring these parts into activity.
The aim will be to return every man
into civil life able TO be self-supnort-
ing and useful. and not dependent
merely upon the pension he will re-
ceive from the Government.

A Christmas Prayer.

A christmas Prayer.
God grant no little child may go
With hungry heart or empty hand
Give this thy world one radiant day
To understand, to understand.
Give us the fitting word to say,
The spendthrift smile, the brave ca
ress;
Disclose our hearts and give US now
The courage of our tenderness!
Lord we are old with toll and tears,
Our souls are veiled with various
art,
Yet still the little children keep
Thine ancient simpleness of heart
And they alone of all thy breath
May bind the burning angels eyes
And, striking laughter from the
sword,
Retrace the years to paradise.
They are so brave with love and
dreams,
So eager eyed and, ah, so dear!
