One night there was rain IN

lived in his hollow stump bunga-

weather turned very cold, the ram
stopped and puddles Of water
froze into ice ali over the country.

TWELVE YEARS AFTER

Twelve years is long time to look
ahead. but looking backward 1t seems
short enough.
Only yesterday the world was dellr-
ious over the dawn of peace after IouI
long years of slaughter. We threw OH
restraint and gave vent to our JOY IN
celebration that extended throughout the
world, and which for enthusiasm ana SIN
cerity, has never been eQualled.
The war was over. 1t was over Ior Us
who survived it. 1t had been over some
time for millions Of men and women VINO
had been caught IN its terrible Jaws anu
whose lives had been snuffed out.
Much as we would like to hold only
pleasant thoughts on Armistice Day. we
cannot help but think that Armlstlce uay
did not mean the close Of the war 1or
thousands of men and women.
Yesterday we talked with veteran
who has been in hospital the greater
part of the II years since that first Arm
istice Day. Last week we recorded the
death of a conrade, whose llto had oeen
one constant struggle against the ray
aces of gas. He fought hard for his lie
as he had fought for his country in
France. but he could not overcome the
terrible handicap which the war mad
placed upon him.
The knowledge that there are thouS-
ands of men in hospitals and out, still
suffering from their wartime eXperlenc-
es. is most vivid with US as we recall the
original Armistice Day. For these,
generous government wishes to DO every
thing that it is possible to 90, IN order TO
alleviate their sufferlngs. 1t Is NOT al
ways easy to do this. Red tape ana lax
itv of one sort or another. often deprive
the veteran of the rights that are his due.
We cherish the memory Of our war
dead. Armistice Day is consecrated TO
them. To those of US who came out OF
the World War with no marks Armlstlce
Day may well be considered day for re-
joicing. =,
of US may show greater consideration and
understanding for the veterans upon

vention of one of the common yet
dreaded diseases of childhood. He

Dr.. Fox spoke OF the differences
between antitoxin and toXin-antl-
toxin. the one being used in the
treatment of diphtheria and the
other to prevent the disease and
being given only to well children.
He said that toXin-antitoXln IS a

he saved himself from going plop

Uncle Wiggily was having fun on
