GIVE THEM A CHANGE.

Lieut.. Col. Frank s. Evans, who enlisted in the British army, rose to rank of colonel in three years and was decorated for bravery by England, France and Belgium, warns the peo- pie that returning soldiers should not be given hero worship, and that char ity should not be offered them. And this warrior states truth that should be sounded everywhere. Our brave boys gave their service, for most part gladly, and they did a great manly work for their country and for humanity When they return they win desire to take the place of men among us-manly men who look upon charity as belittling them and the work they have done. They will, for the most part, readily find places open to them, and it is from them that our leaders in political, social and in- austral life will come.
 All these manly fellows will ask us in this returning from duty well done is to see that they have a chance to work and make their way as men among us. Charity, in the sense too often used, would be little less than an insult to them. They want none of it-nane of idleness or of hero worship.
 We should be and are grateful to =ur soldier and sailor boys, but we honor them and their manhood too much to desire to weaken and destroy the best in them by todying and cod dling--s: thing that, indulged, would de much harm.

There are at least a thousand styles Of dolls but a great number are so breakable that a child cannot be all lowed to handle them and this is where the homemade dolls come in for they are unbreaka bIe and many are even washable which makes them harmless to the child who can toss them around until they become soiIed and a good washing takes away all the germs and restores the toy to the child in it's original form They can be handled in the toughest manner and gre not sDoi1n7.
