But when the ' New Year day arrives, this folly let's be ending, let's renovate our wasted lives, and cut out foolish spending. It's time we were in training now, for future self-denial, for framing up a solemn vow that we'll give thrift a trial. The old year, shaken, bent,and white, goes out by easy stages; the new year's coming. start it right, and pickle half your wages! The vows we made in other years would do for idle friskers; we swore we'd cut out cards and beers and cigarettes and whiskers. But we are facing sterner times; retrenchment is the motto; the watchword now is, "Salt the dimes," and you'll agree we'd ought to. The old year, in its going, tells a tale of money-burning; the new .year's coming, wearing bells. then new leaves let's be turning! WALT MASON. CITY NEWS IN BRIEF.

UNK THtS XltA3! 1 I" OUSTED FLAT"! ^7" SHELL-SHOCKED PATIENTS Facilities for Their Care at Walter Reed Hospital Inadequate. To the Mi lor of The Star: For some time I have been intending' to write an article on how the shell-shocked boys at Walter Reed Hospital were cared for, and since reading of the lire on Sunday I feel this is the opportune time. Of course I presume the people in charge of these wards do the best they can with what they have, but there is absolutely no reason why these boys should not have everything that would tend to restore their minds. They are virtually in jail, as these wards where they are kept are not adequate in any sense of the word. When you put forty or fifty shellshocked boys in one room and give them just a few hours' recreation each week, give them the plainest food and let them sit for hours and hours, is there any chance for them? The government spends money lavishly for everything, and I am sure that money spent for a home where these boys could have pleasant and healthful surroundings with quiet, pleasant rooms for those who should not be in with dozens of others, would be money well spent. Some of the surgeons said this lire would set these boys back a year in their recovery. There is no chance for these boys until the government sees fit to establish a home where they can have rest, quiet, nourishing food and recreation. That is what all asylums and sanatoriums have, and it is an outrage for our government to neglect such things as this. The public pays little attention to such things. It seems to have forgotten these boys who made their country safe for them to live in. As a wounded soldier said to me, The only ones who know what this war has meant are the families of those who were killed or wounded and the few who visit the hospitals. BERTHA CUSTER.

«Another Vow

...«For long, long months we've

they?) on any one who hedges.Until the Christmas season

drifts, amuck we'll still be run»r__ , 1.1iiing, iur wc inuM uiuw uui

,selves for gifts, for doodads cutei and cunning. But when the' New Year day arrives, this folly

let's be ending, let's renovateour wasted lives, and cut outfoolish spending. It's time we

were in training now, for futureself-denial, for framing up asolemn vow that we'll give thrifta trial. The old year, shaken,bent,and white, goes out by easystages; the new year's coming.start it right, and pickle halfyour wages! The vows we madein other years would do for idlefriskers; we swore we'd cut outcards and beers and cigarettesand whiskers. But we are facingsterner times; retrenchmentis the motto; the watchwordnow is, "Salt the dimes," andyou'll agree we'd ought to. Theold year, in its going, tells a taleof money-burning; the new

^7"SHELL-SHOCKED PATIENTSFacilities for Their Care at Walter

Reed Hospital Inadequate.To the Mi lor of The Star:For some time I have been intending'to write an article on how the

shell-shocked boys at Walter ReedHospital were cared for, and sincereading of the lire on Sunday I feelthis is the opportune time. Of course

I presume the people in charge ofthese wards do the best they canwith what they have, but there isabsolutely no reason why these boysshould not have everything thatwould tend to restore their minds.They are virtually in jail, as thesewards where they are kept are notadequate in any sense of the word.When you put forty or fifty shellshockedboys in one room and givethem just a few hours' recreationeach week, give them the plainestfood and let them sit for hours andhours, is there any chance for them?The government spends money lavishlyfor everything, and I am surethat money spent for a home wherethese boys could have pleasant andhealthful surroundings with quiet,pleasant rooms for those who shouldnot be in with dozens of others, wouldbe money well spent.Some of the surgeons said this lire

would set these boys back a yearin their recovery. There is no chancefor these boys until the governmentsees fit to establish a home wherethey can have rest, quiet, nourishingfood and recreation. That is what allasylums and sanatoriums have, andit is an outrage for our governmentto neglect such things as this.The public pays little attention to

such things. It seems to have forgottenthese boys who made theircountry safe for them to live in. Asa wounded soldier said to me, Theonly ones who know what this warhas meant are the families of thosewho were killed or wounded and thefew who visit the hospitals.
