These are no days for twaddling
tongues or twiddling thumbs. We are
al war in earnest witness lengthen
ing casualty lists. I-'rum now on
every one of us must lie prepared to
bear greater responsibilities 1^11
ever before.
it is itupossihiie In conduct our
lives as we did previous to the war.
We must overhaul our whole system
of living and preface everything we
do with the question, "is this helping
to win the war?"
Not until we have the firm know!-j
'■'I."" ’hat everything, not alone in our
business affairs, but also in the home, j
is helping, not hindering, our victory,
can we hope to crush Germany,
which for years has governed both
the public and private lives of her
people with but one object in view—!
that of some day being strong enough{
to | ut every nation under foot that'
could dispute her supremacy
l-et the woman who hesitates to put
her cooking on a wheatless basis re
member that it is her duty to go
without any wheat from now until the
next harvest
"Hut." some housewife may say. “the
official ration of wheat is a pound
and a half per person per week. Why
should I go without wheat when this
ration is allowed by tin- loot] admin
istraiion ?'
: 'nils is a legitim;.piestion, but'
one easily answered. After a careful.
survey Ot the nation's wheat supply
the food administration has estimated'

country cuts his wheat ration to a
pound anil a half per week
Hut there will he some who can not
pos-dlily do ibis. much as they would
like In do it. These people are the
ones who keep the wheels of ..a
industry moving. Many of these
nre working extra hours to keep the
nation apace ui the enormously in
creasing demands of war. They have
little time lo cook at home and must
therefor,. buy most of their food, a

LONDON. June ill! I by mail). "It
you give a man a damp rag and set
him at work cleaning windows you
will see that he is continually work
ing his lingers as though he were
grasping a spring dumbbell Hut
while he would tire of the dumbbell
in a few minutes, he will clean win
dows for several hours without exces
sive fatigue.”
This, explained the officer in charge
of the military orthopedic: hospital to
the Associated Press correspondent,
is the principle of the latest and best
euraive workshops. Wounded men
who have been left with some dis
ability—stiffened fingers or arms or
legs are given some exercise which
is necessary for them in a form in
which they do not tire of it. and in
which their minds ate occupied, not
with themselves and their injury, but
with the work they do.
These workshops have brought a
great change into the military ortho
pcdic hospitals. They have become
He most interesting part of a won
derful course of treatment, ingenious
trgery and ^manipulation, which is
restoring to the army three* fourths ot
the crippled men who pass through
the hospitals
Sir Robert Jones, head of the ortho
i.edic hospitals in (Sreat Britain, has
described them in the early days as
"dreary places, full of dispirited men.
most of whom had spent many months
in hospital, and many of whom had
undergone several operation? . '
Nov* all that i 'hanged. Half of
the hospital buildings do not look like
hospitals at all They are mere!;,
workshops, where men arc making
all manner of things, from surgical
hoots to cigarettes, (font steel splints
to scenery tor thcatci.-. and i; i- o ly
w hen one sees a crutch lying a-'.ain- i
tie- work bench, or when the man
hops across the shop, that one real
izes that all these men arc*, for the
time being at least, invalids and crip
ples.
The man who is busy sawing a piece
of wood for the framework of the
hack scene of u play Is really en
gaged In working an injured elbow
back to health. Perhaps he does not
really realize this; certainly he is
not thinking of it, and that is the
secret of the whole treatment. The
man may not even be working will
the Injured limb at all.
The carpenter at tlie next bench is
planing a piece of wood so vigoroUBlj
that it is evident there is nothin)
wrong with his hands As a mattei
of fact, he has a still ankle, but ai
he works he thrusts forward his righ
leg with each move in order to ge
more power into his stroke, and s<
unconsciously works the lame ankli
all hte time.
The llrst of the British eurativ
hospitals of tills type established b;
the army was at Shepard's Bush, i
London suburb, and it is still tin
most complete establishment of tin
kind in Great Britain It has sep
