four of whom were hoys, who now own farms of their own and are
as- progressive farmers in their respective communities.

through derma 11 y. it's going to io
long war and it's not for us to wonder
when the war will ho over, but rather
for us to keep our minds on that
thought, night and day,—'when will
the German nation lie brought to an
unconditional surrender?'—and when
that times comes there won't be any
Germany-—-from what I have heard
from officers across, in the War. The
German Is a no mean antagonist, but
Sammie's staying power is just the
thing that will cause .'her to get so
thoroughly crippled and beaten.

broken fruit jar, which she had drop

medical aid at once and the little Miss
suffered severely from the loss of blood.
She was taken to the Bartron hospi

.Mr. liates has never held ol'licn nor has he ever before been a

was brief but to the point. lie said, in substan.ee:.
"If I should be elected to the responsible position of Governor

WOUNDED LIMBS RE EDUCATED
TREATMENT BY AN OLD METHOD
(l.iy United Press.)
London, Aug. 17. (My JSIail.) This
uncaged demons of destruction
heretofore unkhown to warfare.
To combat them surgery, has re
organized Its technique.
Great has been the development, of
war's power to tear down, greater by
far is the progress of. science in the
Work of rebuilding. A concrete proof
of this is shown lir'-tlioixccdriL-of the
iHigevjiiiitiiry Oi'thoiS&tie hospital tare,
witli which the American I ted Cross
orthopedic hospitals in London are
allied. Three-fourths of the patients in
these institutions arc being made fit to
re enter the army in some form of ser
vice.
The remarkable achievements of sur
gery have been no more striking than
the results obtained by the slow, patient
processes of orthopedic treatment. In
fact, the latter has made gains even
more spectacular than those of surgery,
for orthopedic sciencc, which before the
war was a more or less obscure anil
humble little brother 'to surgery, has
grown almost overnight to full stature.
Itegan With Children
iP
The word orthopedic literally means
malting a etiitd straight. The science
began with the treatment of children's
deformities. Now it is applied to restor
ing to use soldiers' arms anft legs which
have been stiffened or distorted by
w.ounds, accidents and disea^y.
The problem of the war cripple is
met first by ingenious surgery and
manipulation aiid the careful education
of men in the use of the disabled limbs
second, by training ..disabled soldiers in
the trade for which their disablement
lefisit handicaps them. The lnvlf-way
station between the two is the "gym
nasium."
As the visitor :. follows th$ officer
director into the Military .Orthopedic
gymnasium, he sees a score of soldiers
seated on benches. A sergeant at a
desk in the far ..corner rises as the
director aproachear ''Ail really," Sir," he
Hi
reports. The director turns to the men
with a brisk, "Carry on!"
Slowly the men move out into the
room and take the§' places before the
various pieces of apparatus. Some go
up to the. big adjustable horizontal
beams which stretch across the' room
and place their hands on a beam about
shoulder high. One' approaches a long
strip of canvas' with broad stripes run
nittg fi'om- ejid tf -cart, pale boy
Htretches out on a matcovered bench and
motionless, stares up at the ceiling,
The majority range themselves along
the walls of kuUkrs, climbing-ropes and
hand-grasps. No one speaks. Apparent
ly there is no movement. Absolute
quiet prevails
It is a strange sight for the visitor.
A gym to him h«ui-mcant a plaee foj
vigorous exercise and noisy games.
Here everyone seems to be perfectly
motionless except the soldier on the
striped canvas, who with great effort
and infinite caution is attempting to
move along one of the back lines. lie
is trying to teach a shell-shattered foot
to -walk again.
The visitor was taken by an Ameri
can army surgeon into the massage
and electric-treatment room, a spacious
ward where- a dozen or more soldiers
wre sitting quietly while nurses mas
saged and worked over their injuries.
The young women, kindly sympathetic,
smiled always and talked encouraging
ly to' the patients. Psychology of en
couragement is well understood and
carried out in this hospital.
In this hospital each patient's case
is carefully studied and a general plan
of individual treatment is mapped out.
Several operations may be necessary
and by' means of the X-ray the sur
geons note carefully' the patients pro
gress Thousands of men arc being re
habilitated who before the war would
have discarded as cripples.
After a patient has progressed to
such a point that his injured arm or
leg has begun to furicti6n, lie is ready
for the most interesting part, to him,
of his treatment—wqi in the so-called
curative workshop^, a unique and
highly, important feature of the Military
Orthopedic hospital.
Jtt is not the purpose of these sliops
to teach trades. After they have been
discharged from the'orthopedic hospital
the government, sends the patients to
various technical schools for that kind
of training. The orthopedic workshops
are purely curative.' and the Work to
Which, a patient is .assigned Is chosen
with Special regard to his particular
injury. For example, men suffering
from adhesions or Weak muscles of the
feet are put to work on a treadle fret-'
saw machine, or-jf treadll sewing ma-
chine-
SPhere are more than 1300 patients
at the Military Orthopedic, and the
majority of Vhem, lp the course of
their treatment, are feiven work of
some kind in the curative Workshops.
These $ hops engngf, Jn car pontes work,
boot and shoe making, tailoring, splint
pjaklugfand many other industries.
Everything uaed in the hospital is
Oiade by the patients and there is even
'wll|llvt jVitg.'

Every business has its "morgue",—its files of correspondence of too
little use for place in the main office, yet too' valuable to destroy. And
in many offices these old papers are bundled together and left to the none
too tender mercies of dust, time, handling and—the Janitor.
Globe-Wornicke Transfer and Stor
age cases were designed to remedy
this condition. They take care of
the "dead and dying" correspond
ence of years ago. You can well
afford to pay their trifling cost, for
the service they give when some
forgotten letter is wanted and
quickly.
