Health Of Our Soldiers In War Trustee
Too Much to Chance or Politics.

Health OF Our Soldiers In war frusteu
Too Much to Chance or Politics.
In olden times 1t was thought cheap |
or to obtain a new soldier than to cure
a sick or wounded one. The whole
idea Of life-saving in conjunction with
such a pre-eminently life-destroyins
thing as war is modern, and, indeed,
almost anomalous. But a progressing
world demands that reckless and use
less sacrifices of life shall stop, and
at last military commanders, and even
appropriation voters, are beginning to
appreciate the importance OF keeping
soldiers In At condition to fight. AT
least, the japanese appreciate this.
Whether Americans do Is exceedingly
doubtful. The former provide a large
sanitation corps; make each man In II,
from chief surgeon to stretcher-bearer'
an export In his line; and then supple
ment this with a mass OF equally
trained reserves. The United States
has the nucleus OF a medical depart

A few months ago pew No. 40, in
the south transept Of Grace church.

and rose rapidly to $1,000, when there
was pause. Then some one offered
another hundred and the bidding adj
