Young Ward, who is a basket ball enthusiast, received njuries in a game last winter Following the hurt, this robust young man seemed to almost waste away and became helpless, not even being able to feed him self for ten weeks and unable to walk for about the same time. The doctors at McMinnville Jand Salem where he was in a sana- tarium, pronounced his case tu berculosis and hopeless. Young Ward’s parents did not despair but kept on hoping and strug gling for relief for their son when finally by aid of nerve treatment, on his 19th birthday he told his father he was able to walk around the room and to al most stage a boxing match. He has so far regained use of his arm, which has almost been paralyzed, that he is able to shave himself. The young man has been visiting in Independ ence and Woodburn. We rejoice with Mr. and Mrs. Ward that their cup of happiness has been so well filled.
