While visiting at Toddy's bed,
When he was sick one day, he saids
when grow up, I'm going to be
A doctor my own self. You'll see!
The bestest doctor ever wus,
And l shant do like doctors does.
II boys can't sleep, or have bad dreams,
I'm going to give 'em chocolate creams
Instead of medicine-and then
I'll give 'em chocolate creams again.
"And in that little satchel-case
That doctors bring from place to place,
Instead Of things the druggist makes
I'm going to give 'em raisin cakes
And caraway cookies made with spice
And tarts and everything that's nice.
"Tll be so good a doct0r-man
That folks'll call me all they can.
Not when they're sick, but every day,
And I'll get pennies for my pay,
And drive a great big auto, too,
Just like the sure-'nough doctors do,
And walk right up and ring the bell
And say How do? I hope you're we'll,
But II you amt, perhaps you'll try
This nice big piece OF lemon pie
"And IL you get the fever'n-chills.
I won't give little bottled pills,
I'll give you pop and sasparilly
And ice-cream sody, with vanilly.
And IL that kind don't make you we'll,
I'll send the drugstore man to tell
The soda clerk to send you quick
because you're awful, AWFUL sick),
All kinds of flavors he can fill
From his whole fountain-squirt, until
You get the kind you like the best
And then I'LL drink up all the rest!"

LeRoy Tells Of Sea Trip


 Frank LeRoy has received the following letter from his son, Ralph, who is serving the navy.
 What would you rather shoot at than a U-boat? Uncle Sam has ordered an unrestricted. open season for this variety of game. He wants keen, young hunters to man his ocean fox hounds, the submarine chasers. If you want to join in the eX- citememet of this war, here is your chance. If you are the right sort of man. the kind that doesn't weaken, you will make a good sub. chaser man. To begin. with, to go submar inc chasing, it isn't enough to be sound in mind, limb and morals, and to be the right age and sex, as an initial guarantee of fitness and instincts. You have to know something about the modern devices of warfare, such as depth charges, listening tubes and signals. So all the fox hounds are scent to where they get two or three months of in-- tensive war time training. dy the time they say good bye to Gods country, they know all aboat the "110 Hooters. " then comes that long tireSome trip with your boat standing on its head half the time and the other half on it's side, and with the little eating and sleeping that you can get comes the scent of gas and the throbbing of the three 250. HIP engines, which all but drive your chaser from the water like flying fish but after the many tiresome days Of this comes welcome word from the Crows nest land, ho, what a happy bunch, They are across the big pond and will soon be ont again char glng the tin fishes But have accomplished part their task. They have aided in bring ing across convoy of helpless mer- chantmen.
 A few days later they are out again. bucking a stormy sea, which such small boats should only have to look at from a well protected harbor. But still the no Hooters are built to stand that and more.
 All at once there is a crackle in the radio shock which you know is a cry for help, not from another little boat. but from a big one, and you are one of many called for aid. Ton send word by wireless that yor are coming and pasg the word to the engine room "all you've got" You feel her shake and quiver as only a chaser can In short while you are in sight of it. a big, burning freighter is going down and here

secure q strict enforcement of the pro-
posed measure.
