Nowadays when\ngerms are mentioned nearly everyone\nImmediately connects them with influenza. At least neither germs nor\ninfluenza is a subject with which any\nono can took upon as In any way good.\nBut as ono doctor points out, too\nmany peoplo jump to tho unfortunate\nand disturbing conclusion that all\ngerms aro disease producing, wheroas\nin point ot fact most of them nre quite\nhealthful and not a few are absolutely\nnecessary to normal human existence\nSome germs are the scavengers that\nconvert dead and decomposing matter\ninto material necessary for plant\ngrowth. Othor germs are necessary\nto bread-making; still others givo to\nbuttor ite peculiar flavor and still\nothers ripen cheese.\nNevertheless, thero are the dangerous gorms. But even admitting thir\ndanger to tho human body, it is material only when there is susceptibility.\nBy the latter is meant tho weakening\nof tho body by starvation, alcoholism\nor any other agency by which tho organs and tissues mny be weakened.\nSo when ono thinks of gorms, remember that all gorms are not bad\nand that tho bod ones are not dangerous  unlOHS  there  Is  susceptibility.\ncertlflcto to which the stamps arc to 1\nbo attached,\nObviously this Is nn excellent return\nwhen tho nature of tho security Is\ntaken into ecoount.

An American surgeon,\nwriting in the Now York Medical Journal says:\n\"After threo years' observation of tho\nwounded pnsslng across Switzerland In\nboth directions, the wounded French\nfrom Germany and tho wounded Ger\nmnna from France, I can unhesitating\nly say that French surgery has shown\nItsolf far superior to that of the land\nof Kultur. Lot mo take nn example,\nthat of amputation stumps. The French\nwounded who have been amputated on\nthe other side of tho Rhine have been\nmostly In a fenrful condition which\nwill require renmputation in France.\nTho amputated Germans coming from\nLyons ond elsewhere are In fino condition nnd the operative results would\nhe a credit to the nrt of surgery of\nany country. Fractures have received\npractically no treatment whatever by\nGorman surgeons. They seem to consider that a splint put on 'any old\nway' will do.\n\"One point 1 wish to make here, and\nthat is that surgeons of neutral countries who have seen the Germans at\nwork have assured me lhat the poor\noperating was not confined lo the\nFrench prisoners, but was just the\nsame In the case of their own wounded.\nAs ono very competent neutral surgeon put it to mc, 'They had lost their\nheads completely.' I think that the\nreason for tbls Is easily explained.\nGerman surgeons are merely specialized puppets, like the rest of the race.\nTheir university training has boon of\ntho kind that Inspires no initiative,\nund when thrown on their own resources they aro at sea.\n\"A French physician prisoner Ir\nGermany at the beginning of tho war\nwns ordered to an Internment camp in\nQiistrow to treat the French prisoners suffering from an epidemic of ly\nphold fever.

A billion dollars ln the bank Is a start.\nLord Rosebery says: \"Thrift is the\nsurest and strongest foundation of an\nempire\u2014so sure, so strong and so no\nccssury that no great empire enn\nlong exist lhat disregards It.\" Thus\ndoes this eminent Hritlsh statesman\nre-echo the words of tho wise of all\nages. Tlie need of thrift has not boon\noutgrown. The greatest of financiers\ntoday say that through It chiefly will\ntho nations recover from the effects\nof the great war.\nMAKING OF TOYS IS NEW\nINDUSTRY FOR CANADA\n\"Tho toy business In Canada has\ncome to stay.\"\nSuch was tho emphatic assertion of\nthe head of the toy department in ono\nof tho big Toronto stores, when talking on this subject recently.\nIt will be recalled that whon tho\nsupply of Oerman made toys was\nabruptly cut off four years ago, thero\nwas at tho time lltcrall nothing to\ntake their plnce. No ono horo knew\nhow to mako toys. R had never been\na Canndlan industry.\n'But,\" said tho toy man previously\nreferred to, \"it was one of those enses\nwhere necessity really is the mother\nof invention,\" Canadians were soon\ntrying their hands at toy making. Tho\nfirst attempts woro crude. But now,\nnfter threo years of endeavor, Canadian manufacturers hnve achieved\nthings which nre novel, attractive and\nsbstantlal. No that thoy havo\nreached dizzy heights of perfection.\nNo ono clnims that. Rut anyone going through the toy shops this yenr\ncan judge for himself.\nJapan, France, England, tho Unltod\nSlates nnd Cannda hnvo all contributed their quota of toys to Santa Claus'\npnek and tho product of each country offers Interesting contrast to the\nothors,\nChrlstmns is the season when little\ngirls have Ihelr doll families replenished, Judging by tho hundreds and\nthousands of dolls thnt are lying,\nstanding, sitting and lolling propped\nup by a motnl stand In all the toy\nshops. It seems Impossible that by\nChristmas day nearly all theso dolls\nwill have boen sold and will have become tho joy of some youthful mother\nheart. There are dolls of mnny nationalities, shape:; and sizes. Some\nwith real hair and eyes that open and\nshut, other With camouflaged hair.\nThoro aro no end of ladles from Japan\nthis year. What tho Japanese think\nwe look llko Is unflatterlngly apparent in tho expression they introduce\non tho faces of tho dolls which are ordained for sale here. After a brief\nsurvey of the different types of dolls\nIt Is easy to discover which had been\nmndo In Japan compared with those\nmado in Canada and America. The\nFrench and English dolls are again\ndifferent from tho occidental product\nand easily distinguished. They are up\nto tho present superior to anything\nthnt hns been nchievod In other lands.\nCnnndlnn dolls have improved very\nmuch this year. They havo joints and\ncan boast of real hair in all shades,\nand when dressed up in the fine silks\nthey are enough to win tho heart of\nany small mother. They also coBt n\nbig sum of money. The majority of\ntho Canadian dolls on sale in tho shops\nIhls year havo been mndo in Toronto,\nnnd their faces express a great con-\nlent, ns would becomo a true Toronto\nbeauty, nglow with smiles, rosy\ncheeks nnd bluo eyes.\nAmerican    dolls    have    wonderful\nhnlr and a high look.
