L I 1 THAI PLEASE WE DO HEALING WOUNDS BIGGEST JOB Broken Homes and Men Must of Disabled Soldiers for They ars already rcbatldlng the broken homes of France. And they sre already rebuilding the broken men. Over here we, too, are getting ready to devote to the same tank the beat ot American iklll and genius, for etch million of our men who eoter action ten tboussnd will be o crippled as to need mechanical appli ance, and they will have to be ie clally educated to UM these so that the action of the missing limbs will be reduplicated as closely as possible. If the Germans had had the entree te certain parts of France last fall they might have seen fields that they once destroyed yielding their best crop In years. And they tulRtit have seen nine of these fields being reaped by men they thought they hud done for. They were men with varying de grees of legleKKtiess and armleiwncg. Some ran (and repaired) tractor en gines. Borne, with both arms gone shove the elbows, spniled the ground with the aid of a clever mechanism to which the spade was hooked. One man, who also had but the stump ot each arm left, not only used a scythe but kept It sharp. The Ued Cross Is running a five- hundred acre farm In France on which the maimed are taught the use of farm Implements and the care of domestic animals, and la already laying Its plans for great work for the maimed In this country. The end and aim of all Its work will be to fit men to re turn to their own homes, and re-eater, as nearly as possible, their former place In life. Sometimes these re-edncated men take a tar higher place In the com munity than they occupied before. Fer Instance, men who have been automo bile mechanicians, and whose legs were mutilated, have been re-educated la mechanical drafting. Bridge work. The Difference. Doing easily whnt others find diffi cult is talent; doing what Is Impossi ble for talent la genius. Amlel. IT! OF WAR OF RED CROSS Be Rebuilt Re-education Future Usefulness. men hnve made similar advances. A Canadian rm-difinlc who was niulmed and afterward re-edticoted became a foreman at more than double his for mer pay. It was only their seeming mliwifortunes thut opened for tbete men the opportunity to secure the edu cation their tulents merited. The Red Cross sends out a strong warning agnlnst mistaken kindness to ward the. maimed men who are even now returning. If, it says, the public Insists on milking lions of these men, It will end by making them babies. If employers hunt through their plants for "snaps" for them, and give thein Jobs that mean little more than hold' log down stools and reminiscing about their nnrlng deeds, then Indeed we shall complete the work of destruction for them, maiming minds as well aa bodies. We, the American people, are going to be asked to spend more time, more money and energy keeping these men In the Fume than It would cost to merely support and amuse them and let It go at that We must make them special harnesses, actually and meta- phorlcally, and then have patience while tbey are getting adjusted to It And we must see that they have their chances at suitable employments. But these men are going to have something more than Just marvelous appliances that will enable them to do almost any kind of work. These men'a tremendous sacrifices won't be paid back by letting them In on life's work, bnt not Its social game. So they are going to have Sunday arms and leg as well as the work-a-day wonders 1 A man with both hands gone may, with perfectly molded fingers, light bis own cigarette or play cards. And a man with his face so ravaged that his beet friend could not restrain 'a shudder may wear, over the disfigured part, a mask that Is perfect and delicate, work of art and science. WALLABY QUICKLY WIPED OUT Australian Pest Dldnt Last Long When Its Pelt Became of Value In the Market Before the advent of the rabbit and the fox in Australia the rock-wallaby made Its home among the cliffs bor dering the Snowy river, where it passes through southern Monaro f.N. 8. W.), literally In thousands. The little red-brown quadruped was then becoming grass pest, and aa his akin was then worth only 4 cents the pelt hunter didn't bother much about him. But an Interested mutton merchant some years ago put a premium on the skins, and the writer and a mate started out one winter morning, with about two inches of frost on the ground and every tree powdered with hoar-frost, for the wallaby ground. The artillery consisted of two guns, one a single muzzle-loader. (The breech-loader waa then a larity on Monaro.) By noon the hunters had downed over sixty wallabies. The beasts were so numerous In some quarters that two wallabies occasion ally fell to a single shot Soon after that the pelt trader scented profit, and the work of demolition began. Now these cliffs are silent and desert ed, save for Reynard and the eternal rabbit, which crops the wallaby' pas tures close and from this rough coun try will never be exterminated. DULL AND CHRONIC HEADACHE Affliction, Physician Asserta, May In variably Be Traced to the Pres ence of Rheumatism. Rheumatic headache may be acute, but In most cases It Is dull and chronic, lasting for weeks, months or years. It Is slightly more common In women than In men, and It occurs very rarely below the age of 20, and most common ly above 40 years of age. The pain Is real and may be constant, or fairly steady with Intermissions, writes Dr. Hugh T. Patrick in the Journal ot American Medical Association. It does not occur In instantaneous shoots or brief excruciating paroxysms, Nansea and vomiting are not present with It There are good days, bad days, but with more or less pain or soreness al- i ways present The headache Is worse after exposure to cold or dampness. This form of headache Is really a rheumatic affection, and evidences of past rheumatism are almost always found. Its exact nature la obscure ; bac terial Infection of the tissues of the aching region Is probable. Treatment consists of prolonged, repeated appli cation of heat and the employment of persistent massage of the area of pain, which is most usually at the back of the head on both sides, and may ex tend down to neck, shoulders and back. It Is tender to deep pressure, but not to surface pressure. Optlmlstlo Thought He hath riches sufficient who hath enough to be charitable. Dally Thought He who begs timidly eoarta re fusal. Seneca.
