Turmimg Evil Into Good

any price. but as it turned out, this
mans whole future was changed Tor
the better by a happening that at
the moment must have seemed ia
him and his family to be colossal dis
aster. His employers determination
TO see that he did not lose by his
mishap. and his own willingness
made it possible to turn the evil into
good.
Our Young men at war will be
coming home, some OF them manned
and untitled for the occupations
they followed before they went
away.
The government has already
planned To rehabilitate these men
so they shall be better off in soine
respects than before-so that, IN
many cases, they can look back to
their injury as to the moment when
their lie fortunes began to be bet
fcred. This is to be done by special
training along lines that will be
wisely chosen for and by each case.
England, France and Canada are
already doing this successfully.
1t will call for cooperation on the
part OF the men themselves, and CO.
operation on the part OF their rela-
tives at home.
Naturally wives and mothers
would like to have these crippled
bows to themselves as soon as pos
sible, and to keep them. In many
cases it will be Tor these wives and
mothers to advise them whether or
not to take advantage of the gov
ernmcnt's offer OF such special train
ing. because the government cannot
make them accept; it can only make
the offer.
Ii and when such day comes,
how selfish it would be to insist on
having the soldier boy remain at
home, when his own future will be
SO benefited by the rehabilitation
that will be offered him
We do not want to have Grip
pied veterans selling lead pencils,
on the streets after this war. we
shall have manned men-that fact
we must face-but in most cases we
can see to it that they, like the fac
tory boy who tried to adjust the
betting. are in some respects at least
better off because of what at the
moment seemed like an oyerwhelm-
ing calamity.

THE BIG CHEER.

When the last battle is fought
and won, thereought to be a cheer
heard round the world. And there
can be, il it is properly arranged.
Imagine great cheer starting at
the battle front and sweeping across
western Europe and the Atlantic,
across American and the Pacific and
Asia and so back to France again
one joyful, prolonged shout partici-
pated in by hundreds OF millions.
The schedule could be fixed, on
land and sea, by cable and telegraph
and wireless.
Wouldn't is be one grand cele-
bration?

Two men rose from table where
they had been sitting. and put on great

His heart beat Its regular seventy-two,
