For the man, who THINKS he can and has that

They are doing many things to re­

forgotten and are helping them to
while away the time that passes so
slowly.
Perhaps the most enjoyed of the
things the Auxiliary women have fur­
nished is the fully equipped kitchen­
ette which has been installed. Here
the boys may cook their own meals.
They also have their own mess-kits,
reminiscent of army days. Here
they may free themselves now and
then from the weary routine of mess
hall fare.
The Auxiliary sends big boxes of
foods to the veterans. Their appe­
tites have not been dulled in the
least by the disease which afflicts
them.
Amusements have been provided by
the Auxiliary. Motion picture shows
have been arranged for once each
week. A high-powered radio set has
been installed. Reading matter ga­
lore has been provided for the Car-
ville library. All this, and much more
besides, the Legion Auxiliary has
done. And, when one of the boys
loses in the struggle, the Auxiliary
has arranged that his body shall be
