that the giving of toy soldiers. swords
cannon and other war-like paraphernalia
of toyland to children helps to impiant
the war idea in their minds and that they
should be educated from it rather than in
to it. Mrs. Stoner might go a step fur

tales which many father and GRANDPA
Their can tell the youngsters be banned

The man who gave out ten rules for

to talk business there.
Yet people who come into contact with
unhappy married couples-probate judges

OF the troubles come from the ineffective

woman needs nothing for personal expen-

money. but requires that She ask him for
it, which naturally il hard on a sclf-re-

accordingly, Or perhaps she is dcliber-
