hardly be avoided that If some OF the ef-
forts referred TO above had been devoted
to this purpose, instead OF to enterprises
more attractive and heroic, the incidence
of relief would have been more justly ap-
portioned and the aggregate OF benent
largely increased. Indeed, the advantages,
both economic and military, are so obvious
that 1t would almost appear TO have been
the duty of the army medical department
to take an initiative in this direction. But
the secret pages of the manual contain no
mention of convalescent homes, so there
the matter ended. At present, at least one
third of the beds in general hospital are
occupied by convalescents who require no
nursing and hardly any medical treatment,
who sit about all day reading and smok-

the case is different. Whether 1t Is the
climate the skill with which the anti
septic dressing has been applied at the
'front.' making 'sepsis almost unknown in
the base hospitals, or the cleanness of
the wound made by the long, thin bullet
with its swift penetration or all three
cases together, the general rate of recov-

harous exceptions. A neat little row of
sentinels stand on the table before me-

the pockets of Cronje's men. Their heads
are cut off fiat, exposing the lead at the
end, and in each nickel jacket there are
four long almost invisible Sits, to allow
the soft metal to bulge and fiatten against

human body like a charge of dynamite
