THE FAITH OF A CHILD.

The nations postal department is
again called upon to meet the annual
problem of what to do with the thou
ands OF letters addressed to Santa
Claus which are now appearing in
large numbers in the postoffices
throughout the country. There have
been hundreds OF schemes proposed
discussed and rejected for taking ade-
ouate care of this problem, for the
tone of the letters and the persistency
with which they appear just before
Christmas present condition that
cannot be ignored or treated lightly.
The fact that an order has been is
sued 10 turn these missives over 10
the charitable organizations, or TO
persons who will use them for benevo-
lent purposes, indicates that the pos
tai department recognizes that they
require a consideration in keeping
with the spirit of the contents and the
occasion that has suggested them.
Most, il not all of these letters to
santa Claus, come from children,
usually from children who have lit
tie il any expectation of being re-
membered at Christmas time in other
than some miraculous way. and strong
in the faith OF some benevolent being
who cares for the children and their
wants. these letters are sent forth on
their mission and the days anxiously
counted until the time when an
answer may be expected. That so
large a number OF these letters have
brought answers that have made
real Christmas for many child. at

FATHER FIGHTING IN FRANCE,
son ILL OF TUBERCULOSIS
Red Cross Seals May Save His Life
But lie Needs Immediate Care.

He is "over there'-somewhere in
France fighting TO make the world
safe for democracy" His wife is here
in a small town in the Middle West,
fighting to keep his home safe for his
return. But she has more deadly
foe to fight than her soldier husband.
Shortly after he left for the front
the eldest boy developed a hacking
cough. His mother thought little of
| 1t for she was not educated in symp-
toms. But as his chest contracted
and his color increased she became
alarmed and consulted physician.
His verdict was that the boy had con-
sumption.
What can the mother do? Money is
scarce and she has to skimp and save
to get along. Though the children
of working age are doing their bit"
their wages are small,an the mother
helps out by taking in washing or now
and then going out for a days
work She cannot send her boy to a
sanatc rum where she must pay for
his care, so his name has been put
on the waiting list of free hos
pital
As the days pass his health and
strength are ebbing. But there is
nothing for him to do but to wait.
Perhaps some one will die in the
overcrowded institution. or some one
will be discharged, then his name will
be brought nearer to the top. But
will he be admitted in time? Why
should he have to wait when every
day means danger for himself and
others?
These questions concern every one
of us. The boys father is fighting
to make the world safe for US. His
mother and sisters are working to
keep the home together until the
father returns. They are all doing
their part Are we doing ours to
keep the soldiers son alive, and TO
make him strong and we'll?
Show your patriotism and love of
country by helping to keep the SOL
dier's families safe from the dread
scrouage of tuberculosis. Buy Red
Cross Christmas Seals to provide care
for consumptives. They will help to
do away with the waiting list and
to establish enough free hospitals for
all

rIRsT MAR CHRISTMAS.

1917 marks our first Christmas OF
war. Suddenly the spirit OF the
christ-child has taken on a new
meaning. "He that loseth his life for
Ny sake shall find it," is a precept
now being put into practice. Fathers
and sons have put aside peace-time
pursuits to give Of their lives for
world Righteousness.
And every wife and mother who has
hidden them goodbye with smile
on her lips and light in her eye has
given Of her own life vicariously
she is ready to suffer separation,
anxiety and sacrifice that righteous
ness may prevail
AS this first Christmas season APP
proaches. her heart thrills with the
thought OF her own contribution to
these momentous times. Individual
gift-givings sinks into insignificance.
Something bigger has come into her
life. She Is losing her life that she
may find it.
cheer fills her own heart in helping
10 bring Il TO cantonment and camp
Already she has sent comfort-kits and
Christmas packages TO those at the
front. Now she is devoting herself TO
those soldiers still here and to their
families.
"How can do most TO help win this
war;" Is the question she continually
asks herself And always she turns
back to her own kitchen TO find there
her real work in the present struggle
for the worlds redemption.
To keep stout heart and steady
aim, our soldiers must be we'll fed.
This she knows.
She also knows that this first
Christmas Of war for her now marks
the fourth Christmas of war for the
brave women OF France. They have
known the thrill of that first Christ
mas when they gave of their still
plentiful stores.
Since then there has been for them
two Christmas seasons when they
gave from their more and more de-
pleted stores. They are now facing
their fourth Christmas of war, still
with q brave smile and courageous
spirit. but with an ever tightening
food supply.
Insistent has been their recent
warning that the next few months will
mean actual privation and need II
abundant help is not forthcoming from
the food supply of the United States
Every woman in America is prepar-
ing her Christmas baskets, in mar

Less wheat in bread and pastry;
less butter on the table and in cook

in place of meat; more fruits and
sweet meats in place of candy and

borne in mind in preparing the Yule-
tide menus.
