TO PLEASE VETERAN
 IS SOME TASK

Washington, Oct 13-That you can please some of the people some of the time, but never all the people all of the time is not an unusual eXperi- ence The Federal Board for Voca- tional Education in it's work with the disabled soldiers is still finding truth in the saying. Much time and thought have been expended in ar ranging a plain by which the disabled men in training might be paid twice a. month instead of once. Although the bi-monthly payments greatly in crease the work of the office force, the Board willingly accepted the scheme for the convenience of the men, Now a blind soldier, in tram ing, writes asking that his check be sent only once a month, as it is too much of an undertaking to attend to cashing the check twice a month. This request is not unreasonable, for little things that are no trouble to most of us, are often 1aborious to those who have lost their sight. It only goes to show how many different likes and dislikes must be considered ed by the Board, when making deci- sions as to the best ways of meeting the needs of disabled soldiers under it's care.
 Vocational advisers meet the same differences in the attitude of the men towards the choice of their new vacations. It Is sometimes necessary

CEDDES OPPOSED TO GIDDY GIRLS
 IN HIS OFFICE

London, Oct. 13-Flippant girls are to be barred from the office of the new Ministry Of Transport because Sir Eric Geddes. the new minister of that department objects to low necked bIouses, flashy dresses, gos- sip in the corridors and organized tea parties.
 A woman secretary told a reporter: 'fSir Eric does not like to see crowds of these young people about I am told that he dislikes very much the loud apparel and particularly low necks and he has no time for their childish laughter and chattering. He has expressed a wish that the wom- en members of the staff shall be staid and wear. 'quietish' clothes. The days of the flapper are over, at least as far as this department is concern ed"

 "A baby these days is a very ex- pensive addition to the average Brit ish family said another doctor. 'aThe cost of everything from blan- kets to perambulators has practical Iy doubled. Milk is a shilling a quart and nurses three guineas a week. The infants extensive ward robe is also costly affair these days, while his cot costs twice as much as before the war.

 much meat.

When you wake up with bacEache and dull misery In the kidney region it generally means you have been eating too much meat says a we'll known authority. Meat forms uric acid which overworl1s the kidneys in their effort to filter it from the blood and they become sort of paralyzed and Ioggg. When your kidneys get sluggish and clog you must relieve them, like you relieve your bowels; removing all the body's urinous waste else you have backache. sick headache. dizzy speIlss your stomach sours, tongue Is coated, and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine Is cloudy, full of sediment channels often get sore, water scaIds and you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night,

to refuse to recommend their choice of an occupation. Dentistry Is clear ly unsuitable for a man with a stiff arm. and a course in medicine is out of the question for a tuberculous man, with no previous training as a physician. These men must be led into other vacations more adapted to their experiences and their disabilt- ties. This is the work of the voca- tiona1 adviser, and the numbers now carrying on in their new work, con- tented and independent, are witness es to the successful way in which the advisers have met their problems. The number of disabled men taking vocational training under supervision of the Federal Board Is now consid- erably in excess of 10000.
