FREE SHOE FUND
FOR M KIDDIES
(Continued from Page One.)
:Uipplv the rest."
According to Mr. Carver lack of
shoes causes more "truancy" thSn
all other things put together. Last
year SO children were found unable
to attend school because of lack of
foot covering. The year before there
were 80. Many little boys and girls
attend school, say their teachers,
with foot covering that is not
worthy of the name, so their feet
are exposed to the chill snows and
nipping cold of winter. Poor lit
tle, undernourished and ill-clad chil
dren, suffering from stings of frosted
toes and chilblains, are slow in their
studies and the quickest victims of
childish epidemics. Usually their
families are too proud to ask for
help and get along as best they
mav.
Who Wants To Help?
Who wants to help The Bee sup
ply footwear for some of these little

ministered through the Visiting
Nurses' association, by which many,
young lives were saved. This win

from suffering and kept in school.

PESSIMIST
AND
OPTIMIST
What people SEE depends
largely upon what they
are LOOKING FOR.
"Everything costs double what it used to we still
have to get along on two pounds of sugar a month
business is rotten, and now they ask us to buy Liberty
Bonds," croaks the pessimist.
"EVERY BOY WHO WANTS WORK IS WORK
ING AT THE BEST WAGES THEY EVER RECEIVED
AND BUYING MORE THAN EVER BEFORE: WE
CAN STILL GET TWO POUNDS OF SUGAR A
MONTH: THERE NEVER WAS IN ALL HISTORY"
SO GREAT A VOLUME OF BUSINESS AS IS NOW
AMERICA'S GOOD FORTUNE AND IT IS BOUND TO
HELP EVERYBODY; AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST
OUR GOVERNMENT IS TEACHING US, TO SAVE
AND ALLOWING US TO PLACE OUR MONEY IN
THE SAFEST SECURITIES ON EARTH WHILE GIV-"
TNG US CREDIT FQR BEING PATRIOTS'."
SO SPEAKS THE OPTIMIST.
j s
True, business and the professions have been called
upon to do their bit; valued employees have been called
to the colors, conditions have changed, our obligations
personal, national and international call for retrench
' ment and sacrifice--but ths wrrst that can befall us is
that we may ha,ve to give kv some of our luxuries and
dissipations, but we will all live longer, havemore and
stand a better chance in the "'next world" by doing our
part in the making this world fit to live in.
Do not purposely look through the wrong end of
the telescope and grumble at the distorted view of life.
I have turned many a pessimist into a optimist by
conclusively demonstrating to him that Modern Busi-
ness Methods applied to Dentistry not only insures su-v
perior workmanship and service but actually SAVES
each patient a large percentage of the fee generally
charged by other high class Dentists.
If you are even now trying to decide whether you
should have your teeth properly attended to' Kr use the
money to bu Liberty Bonds and War Saying Stamps
come to me nd I will show you how you, can do both
.with the same money.
