His Civilian Record,

May I suggest to the government
that every man be treated according to
his civilian merits? These are DEM
ocratic days. We should not say to
discharged men: "Were you an Off
cer?" or "Were you a private?" We
should say: "Now you have finished
with war, we must deal with you on a
civilian basis. What were you before
you Joined up? What do you think
you are best suited for? With you
time is precious, just as it is with us.
We want to help you to earn living
in the way that you can earn it best"
Treat discharged men according to
their abilities, and not according to the
positions they have held in the serv-
ices. That is the real solution Of the
prOblem-the key to the satisfactory
settlement of the difficulty Of the dis
charged. Square pegs in round holes
are a nuisance everywhere, as we in
the army know only too well. Let US
go fOrward.-London Daily News.

New Kind of Candy,

If someone offered you box of
chocolate bOnbons which were so de-
ucious that you apologized for the
number you ate, and then someone
told you that the chief ingredients of
their interior was POTATOES,
wouldn't it surprise you? Food Ad-
ministrator Peden of Texas, who had
this experience, was more than sur
prised. The filling of the bOnbOns was
suggestive of coconut and very deli
cate to the taste. Potato candy is a
logical follow-up to tapioca flour
bread, whale steak, mesquite strip
and other interesting food revela-
tons brought about as result of the
war.-Dallas (Texas) News.

Eacn soul selects the sort of afflu.

the Philadelphia Ledger. You NAV
choose that you will gain the whole
world, no matter what becomes OF the

patron who desires merely a plain

That is due 20 the fact that the bar

average pay OF the barber Is from SIC
to $50 a week. In addition 10 that, ne
receives commission Of about ~ per
