: France is living in the lap of

France to the folks at home n
Naturally the folks at home" at
ter receiving such a letter have lit

food administration when it says
that unless we save food for France,
it will starve.
Yet this is the actual state of at.

Of all the food we can send it. The
reason our soldiers who are over
there do not know the real condi-
ton of things is that at the front or
in their camps there is no food

Even in visiting the French homes

anything to make an American feel
at home among them, even though to
do so means using all their months

1 Also. since the American soldier
is the best paid soldier in the
world. he can afford TO buy what
little food there is on the French
market without realizing that the
majority of the French inhabitants
themselves cannot afford to pay the
high prices that the scarcity of food
in France creates.
All these things account for the
American soldier writing home that
there is no food shortage in France.
The true state Of affairs, however,
is revealed by letter recently REL

American Mothers May
Be Proud of Their Boys

BY DIR. JENNY B. MERRILL.

The phenomenal success of Amer.
lean boys at the front after an un.
usually short military training was
not only cause of thankfulness, but
indicated that American mothers
methods of discipline Had not beer
so indulgeht nor lax in the past as
some good critics have feared.
There has been blessing in dis
guise in the free action and self-as-
sertion that are allowed American
children,
Fifty/years ago, little book en-
,itled "Children's Rights" appeared
in this country. Perhaps it went too
far, but children had suffered long
from too great severity. Herbert
Spencer in England wrote of chill
Gren's rights as we'll as of women's.
The words of progressive thinkers
on both subjects were needed. Later
from Sweden, Ellen Key sent out
The Century of the Child Later
yet, from Italy, came DR.. Monies

the child by arbitrary discipline, and
her advocacy of discipline "based

their inspiration and guidance from

Germany, Follow the Child"

suppressed it.
Froebel was in sense a martyr

own nations rejection of the kinder

he turned hopefully towards Amer

his ideas would flourish under demo-
cratic protection and guidance.

Set Together Dur
ing Holidays.

Z VERY one is working busily
l. for the opening of the Red
Cross drive. The headquarters are
b Ting and peeping in between the
huge posters pasted on the windows
we saw everyone there. OF course
parties are nil again, so those who
are still hale and hearty are deyot
ing all their time to making tn,
drive a great success.
Mrs. Frank Judson is wonderfully
proud of her roll call slogan and W.
don't blame herfor it's very original
and appealing. She stopped US or
the street the other day to tell us
about it and to show us one of th'
lovely cards, designed by our clever
artist, Miss Helen Eastman.
Things are a bit quiet, we must
admit. Even the army folk are moi
entertaining, and only foursome al
dinner or perhaps cup of tea and
friend or two relieves the monot-
ony these December days. plans
are progressing rapidly for the Vic
tory Christmas, however. Mrs. f.
w. Crockett at Fort Crook, assisted
by a number of the officers wives,
will trim the huge tree, and on Mon
lay evening, December Is, all the
men at the post will be honor guests
at a real Christmas party. The huge
branches of an evergreen will bend
beneath Neir burden for there will
be gift for every soldier, gay with
red ribbons and holly. The women
Of the Service league are responsible
for the idea and have expended
every effort to pass along the Christ
mas spirit
Some wonderful parties are being
planned for the holidays. Christmas
night the younger set will have
cotillion at the new Athletic club,
and with the men home from the
forts, what could be jollier? The
New Years eve party is to surpass
all others, we hear.
g. We/have had a hint as to- the ia
yors, and they are really works OF
art. There will be little dinner
and dancing will follow until the
bells ring out announcing the COM
ing of the glad New Year.
One of the gay little affairs for
the yuletide will be the openine
dance Al She Winter Dancing club.
AT meeting of the directors, held
Saturday at the HenshaW hotel. the
final plans Were completed for
beautiful Christmas party. Many
of the members will be home on
leave, and others are returning tor
stay after a long absence in the
service of Uncle Sam.

disgrace, wounds, physical, mental or
they were not stopped.
To my thinking. we ought not TO
say that a man succeeds in spite Of
handicaps, but because Of handi-
caps. The man to feel sorry for is
the poor fellow who is rich in every
thing but defects. He is the one
whose case is most nearly hopeless.
What has the wretch got to exercise
his will power on? or to set his teeth
in? or to brace himself against? A
mancan't get strong by lifting cream
puffs or sticking pansies in his but
tonhole.
When he wakes up in the morn
ing he has no pet demon sitting on
the foot of his bed defying him and
bringing him OUT of the nest of sloth
with a roar People are SO cantan-
kerous that they never get over the
childhood longing to do what they
are warned against. When destiny
says You can't" a man of real stuff
replies, IN sho wyou."
The things people do best are the
impossible things. The novel that
had most effect on American history
was written by the timid little wife
of a clergyman, and the noblest war
poem ever written by an American
was written by a woman. The Spar
tans who put their weaklings to
death never accomplished anything
but little fairly good fighting. The
race is not to the swift, but to the
lame, the halt and the blind. It's the
grit that counts.
Perhaps the stoutest hearted poem
in any language was written by a
poor bedridden invalid who spent a
good part of his time in hospitals un-
der the surgeons knives. He wrote
that marvellous defiance:
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole 70 pole,
l thank whatever gods there be
For my unconquerable soul
In the fell clutch of circumstance
1 have not WINGED nor cried aloud.
Beneath the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
