THE MAN WHO WENT TO WAR

How many of us are paying any heet) to the problems that will arise immediate ly after the declaration of peace! We read vague paragraphs about reconstrue Lion, and we love an idea that Dr. Addi BON 15 dealing with all that sort of thing." and so we think no more about it. But leaving it all to Dr. Addison will not to. It we do not look out, wo qbull find all our problets hursting on is before we bave prepared a solution of any of them

What is the employer to when the war is aver-dismiss the substitute who knows! all about the job and reinstate the mus who has forgotten all about it!

Such a problem as this is not to be solved sentimentally. The substitution of an inefficient man for an efficient will result in loss, not merely to im employer
