Bringing the Boys Home.

Some of the boys will be coming back from Eu-
rope before long. It may be a number of weeks, or
it may be several months. but is now regarded as
only a question Of time when they will be their
way.
This country doubt viii be expected to keep
large force in Europe till every detail of the peace
agreement is complied with by Germany 1t is right
much better than can allies, whose power
has been reduced by four years of bloodshed SO
there is only of the abIe-bodied males left
We are also in better financial shape than they and
we are fresher and more fit
There seems to be general feeling that Ameri-
cans who have had a share in the heavy fighting
should be the first to be relieved from duty and
brought home leaving those who have not been
posed to the risks the front to do police duty.
While it will not be good policy to take any
men from private life where they useful and train
them for the army, where they may be Of little
count it might be advisable to soldiers in
training camps for tour of duty abroad. Most Of
them, no doubt viii want TO go.
As the draft by which the army was chosen was
selective one SO should be the system OF return
ing the troops to private life Those useful in
civil pursuits skilled workers men with business
responsibilities with families dependent upon
them-should be the first to be discharged
No doubt these are among the considerations that
the war department will take into account in its
future disposition Of fighting forces.

The Surgical Bread Pill.

Most young doctors yearn to be
surgeons, because the average lay
man in this country still imagines
that a doctor who ventures to oper-
ate on folks knows more and is
entitled to a larger fee than the
doctor who has the courage not to
operate. l remember how anxious
was for such eminence when /
entered practice-so very anxious
that when l hung out my shingle
it read Surgeon and Physician"
instead of Physician and Sur
geon," and I couldn't understand
why everybody hurried past my Of
fee without stopping to see me, ur-
til one day l grew ashamed and
took down three or four of my
signs, and after that the poor old
public proved easy meat
With luck and a large gift of
front and winning personality and
a rich father and a patient fiancee,
and so on, a certain number of
young doctors make a go of it and
count themselves among the elect.
After 10 or 20 years of it these doc
tors are rather inclined to see moth
ing but red. If it is operable, we'll
and good. If it isn't operable, it is
hopeless. The bread pill in its
thousand and one varities enjoys a
vogue with the born surgeon. If
the treatment isn't surgical, it
doesn't matter much what is pre-
scribed, in the born surgeons opin-

Health T all[kS
BY DIR. Wyilliana Brady M. ID.


Operations are so popular that a
certain class of men and women,
particularly women, with a little
more money and a little more leis-
ure than are good for healthy peo-
pie, can't be happy till they have
one And with the country blessed
with SO many born surgeons It is
not difficult to purchase any kind
of crochet work one may desire.
Today good many people are
taking surgical bread pills. AS in
the use of drugs, SO in the use of
the knife there is often a psychical
influence to be considered. There
can be no question that most pa
tients are deeply impressed by the
preparation for and the after-care
given to the subject. of operation
Among physicians there is no doubt
of the beneficial influence of a few
weeks rest in bed for certain %'ner-
vous" patients, whether the opera
ton is curative or not.
Bread pills or sugar pills are pre-
scribed not only by ordinary physi-
clans and specialists. Our surgical
brethren owe many a grateful pa
tient to psychology.

THE TWO PATHS.
By Elmore Drury.

| It was a supreme hour with
Helen Rossiter. She stood alone in
| her rather pretty and comfortable
room in a good grade city board
| ing house, turning over and over in
| her hand a flashing gem-studded
! pin, the velvet case that had con-
tanned it and a brief note lying on
the stand at her side. The pretty
! trinket fascinated her, yet Helen
knew that she had no right to ac-
cept it.
She was an ambitious girl had
received a thorough commercial
college education and had come to
the busy, busting metropolis six
months previous to find her fond
est dreams realized.
You are the luckiest girl l ever
knew" a friend had said to her.
and Helen had quite flushed with
| satisfaction and triumph as she
realized the fact as true. She had
obtained work at the start in the
employ of an aggressive, up-to-date
mail-order concern operated By
Andre Lesion, a man who was
liberal, almost extravagant where
the investment of a dollar brought
two. He was OF expensive tastes
and surrounded himself with per
sons who shared his free lance
business ideas. He had been mar
ried and divorced twice, but was
in no sense a bad man at heart. He
took the world as it came, and
when his wives tired OF him gave
them generous stipend ind did
not break his heart over their de-
parture.
There were frequent banquets.
theater parties and outings given
to his employees. Always there was
chaperon for the young ladies
and everything was circumspect.
In the office boxes Of chocolates
and flowers were common. Lesion
counted upon IT that this profusion
would influence those he employed
10 give their best work in return.
