a Good Riddance.

Little Willie had been permitted
to enter the sick room to view the
small stranger who had arrived a
few days before. He looked the
little one over with the dissapproval
natural to a deposed Monarch. The
nurse brought the baby's bath tub
and filled it with water. Then she
started unwinding the baby's outer
Shell, preparatory to bathing, while
Willie stood by, watching the pro-
cedure with interest. Suddenly the
light of understanding illuminated
his face and he rushed to the door.

The Incessant Fighting Is
Simply Awful.
THE SOLDIERS WOUND SELVES
Or Expose Limbs To Fire OF
Enemy In Order To
Get Injured.
DENTISTS LESSEN SUFFERING

Southampton, Dec. 24.-lnsanity
and nervous prostration are claim
ing large numbers of the allies who
have lain for weeks under German
| fire in the trenches about Ypres.
The insanity wards in the big gov
eminent Hospital at Netley are filled
to Overlooking, and all the hospitals
in the South have many patients who
suffered nervous collaspe and have
been sent back to England for treat
ment Most of the cases show de-
cided improvement as soon as the
men get into new surroundings and
are afforded quiet. Many of uho
patients suffering with nervous af-
flictions, and who declared when
they left Belgium that they never
could endure further service under
the fire of heavy guns, clamor to re-
turn to the field of action as soon
as they get a grasp on their nerves.
An amazing number of invaded
soldiers have never been touched by
a bullet or shell and show no phys
ical signs of disability. Some of
the most desperate cases are men
who were terribly shocked by shells
which exploded near them.
One Sergeant, boy of IS, who
recently left Netley to visit his rel
atives in Manchester. was hurled
through the air for so feet by the
force of an exploding shell, not a
fragment of which touched him.
Both of his eardrums were broken,
and he was unconscious for several
days. His brain was so affected that
he was unable to see anything for
weeks IL he became the least excited.
When he left the Netley Hospital he
still walked somewhat unsteadily,
and complained that dark spots
frequently appeared before his eyes.
Physicians send such patients
away from hospitals as speedily as
possible that they may be more free
from military surroundings and re-
minded less frequently of their ex-
periences in the field.
AS is the case in nearly all mill
tary actions, soldiers are on rare oc-
casions found shooting their own.
hands and feet, or exposing their
arms and hands to the fire of the
enemy, that they may get wounds
which will relieve them from SER
vice In the trenches. This is attrib-
uted to shattered nerves in many
cases. although there are occasional
court-martials in cases where there
is reason to believe that cowardice
inspired such action.
In engagements where the fight
ing is at such close range as the
present position In Belgium it is a
simple matter for a soldier to expose
his hand or arm and catch II bullet
from the enemy's trenches.
Bad teeth are playing havoc with

From Cold In Their Pres
ent Positions
IN THE TRENCHES OF BELGIUM
Troops From Tropics Undergo
Operations without Use
of An AnaeSthetiC.
MUCH COURAGE AND, HERoIsM

London, Dec. 26.-TrOopS from
the tropics are suffering intensely
from the cold in their positions In
the Belgian trenches. This is es-
pecially true of the Senegalese. In
many cases their toes or feet have
been frozen SO badly that amputa-
ton has been necessary.
Mrs. Harry Floyd. Chief Com
missioner of the French Wounded
Emergency Fund, who has just re-
turned from a visit to the French
hospitals at Havre, Lisieux, Bayeux,
Deauville and other points, tells of
the suffering of the soldiers from
the tropics. She says also that many
of the hospitals are badly in need of
anaesthetics. tetanus serum, surgical
instruments and surgeons.
I'm one hospital l saw Senegalese
operated upon without the use of an
anaesthetic," said Mrs. Floyd.
Their toes had been frozen Snd'
immediate amputation was nee
essary.
"All of the toes of one of them
were removed without even groan
from him. Suddenly lhe leaped
from the operating table and began
searching for something. The doc
tors and nurses could not discover
what he wanted. He found pipe,
filled it and lay down, smoking to
deaden the pain. Then he began
to pray in low voice. Presently
a nurse offered to bring luncheon to
him but he refused. He walked to
the convaiescents' table. where he
ate with his friends.
THE courage and .heroism of
these men is simply beyond belief.
They always urge the nurses to at
tend to the others. But their
sufferings in the cold climate are
pitiful.
blankets, heavy wooden clothing
and socks are badly needed at the
hospitals and convalescents' homes
in Northern France. Because of the
great number of the wounded, pa
tients are sent from the hospitals to
the convalescents' homes as rapidly
rs possible, but the homes lack COM
forts and consequently the weaken
ed soldiers suffer intensely, and their
recovery is delayed.
Typhoid fever now seems to
have been checked. but gangrene
presents a frightful menace because
Of the lack of serum. There is also
q great need Of electrical equip
ment to treat cases of rheumatism
by exposure, as we'll as para

nittee for relief in Belgium; Lady

Shortage Of meat supply

New York, secretary Of the American
Meat Packers' Union, asserted beiore

sociation which opened here Monday.
europe will soon exhaust it's own
food supply and then will draw ON the
world to feed its huge armies and help

results will be felt the world over.
Taken in connection with the fact that
this country is extremely short Of food
animals, the prospect for an abundant
supply, either In the United States or
abroad, is not encouraging"
Ldxht on the diminishing beef sup

cattle ranges, methods to be adopted

to make an appropriation to stamp out
tuberculosis In cattle and to have the
tax removed from oleomargarine.
James Craig, Jr., president Of the
association, predicted the time when
practically every industry in the coun-
try would be under government super
vision.
James e. Poole Of Chicago said large
areas on which cattle might be raised
lie idle; that more and more farmers
are turning their hay and corn directly
into cash instead Of feeding livestock.
He added that one reason for this was
the difficulty Of financing breeding
operations, and suggested that postal
savings. on which the government
nays 2 per cent, could be loaned to cat
tlemen at 8 per cent and that this
would revive the waning industry
within ten years. He attacked the
law which gives certain water rights
to homesteaders, asserting that for
every water course given over to the
private ownership Of 4 homesteader
the country II deprived Of 1000 cattle.
The report Of the executive commit
