THE LITTLE SICK GIRL.
(By Edgar A. Guest.)

by Edgar A. Guest.)
The Dostors have shut little Marjorie
in,
Coz something's the matter that's
making her thin,
And they say she must patiently stay
in bed
And be good girl and just eat when
she's fed.
And she can't go out in the sunshine
to pay
Or race with the children for many
a day.
Now, her beds by the window, an
what do you think?
She's teaching the robins that come
there, to wink
Ma cried when the doctoris said 'keeI
her in bed"
"How will we amuse herr" she fire,
quently said,
She's always been eager to romp an
to play,
A regular tom boy, the neighbort
would say,
An now she must lie all the time on
her cot,
An never get out, coz her fever ii
hot"
An pa kissed her cheeks, an patted
her head
An promised to get her some toys fol
her bed.
Ma says she's the best little patient
she knows,
She never complains of her troubles
an woes,
An she's figured out games she can
play all alone,
An forget that she's sick. All the
birds are her own,
She says, an when breakfast an din
nertime comes
An we take up her tray, she just
losses out crumbs
To the robins that live in the elm
tree, out there,
An they're learnin' to wink an to
talk back to her.
She's given them all names. There
is Bobbie an Jack,
An she talks to them all an they
chirp right back.
An last night she told me that one
of them said
They like little girls who must stay
up in bed,
So they come Just as much as they
can to her sill
An sing all their songs, coz they
know she is i'll.
An there isn't doubt, so the doc
tors all tell,
That the birds viii help Marjorie soon
to get well.

sides being able to make certain po-

cause of their superiority on land

put forward additional claims for

The Allied forces have not shelled

FACING THE c

We can work for a time on our
emotions. but 1t. is only when we are
willing. to face the facts in the case
that we can really shoulder the bur-
den at hand and carry 1t to the finish.
Now the facts in the feeding of the
army we plan to send over to France
are these: This army would eat 49,
100000 pounds of beef a month. g.
$4,000 pounds Of bacon. 1,375.000
cans of fresh roast beef. hashed
c0rncd beef and salmon, 13,350,000
pounds Of -four and 100000 pounds
of sugar a month.
If VIC are going t keep u soldiers
we arc sending ''over there" in good
health. we must somehow nag to
send them thisn much food n month.
In addition to this. because u
fields have not vet been ravaged by
war, and because. too. we are able to
keep a fair proportion of men on
farms, the allies look to lis to provide
a great part Of their food supply. This
means that millions more tons of food

Harry Lauder had been working all

And then, onc day, it suddenly
came to me. as if in a revelation, that

which / had always believed. All this

the cruel fates which had taken my
son, there has been comfort and peace
in store for me, and had not
known it. And that comfort and
peace lay in my belief in God, and a
future life beyond this earthly sphere.
While the pain m grief had been
