GIVEN FOR VAL0ROUS WORK
1t Is Awarded to a General or
Admiral Only after He Has
Already Reached the Highest
Rank Attainable in the Le-
giOn of Honor.

Paris, Nov. 2S, 1920 a. m.-President
Poncare has conferred upon General
Joffre the Medaile Militaire, the highest
honor that can he conferred on n general.
The presentation was made in the pres
ence of Premier Viviani Minister Of War
Mllerand. the presidents of the Senate
and the Chamber of Deputies and the
members of the general staff
In making the presentation President
Poincare said the simple medal, which
was the emblem of the highest military
virtues and which was worn with equal
pride by illustrious generals and humble
soldiers, was a mark of the nations
gratitude to their Communicative chief.
Nj. Poincare added that he associated
with him in his sincere congratulations
General Joffre's devoted colaborators of
the general staff and the magnificent
armies of France.
THE horrors of this sanguinary war"
President Poincare continued, will not
dampen the enthusiasm of the troops.
The griovous losses suffered by the nation
will not disturb its constancy nor shake
it's will France exhausted all means to
spare to humanity this unprecedented cat
astrophe. She knows that to avoid It's
recurrence she must, in union with her
allies, definitely abolish its causes.
VICTORY MUST BE DECISIVE.
"Indecsive victory and n precarious
peace would expose tomorrow the genius
Of France to fresh insults from that re-
fined barbarism, which assumes the mark
Of science, the better to Stake Its instincts
of domination
France will carry on to the end. by a
union of all Of her children and with
the unflagging aid of her allies. the work
of European liberation now begun. And
when she has completed the task she
will find fuller life in glory, concord,
and security"
The presidential party afterwards left
army headquarters for an extended tour
OF the battle front.
The Mcdaille Militaire was established
in 1852 exclusively for non-commissioned
officers and men of the army and navy.
1t is only awarded to a general or an
admiral for valorous work after such
officers already have attained the high
est rank In the Legion OF Honor. It is,
therefore, considered the greatest honor
that can be conferred on general or
an admiral.

For the employable in Germany

Convalescence comes from the
Latin word that means to grow
strong, and 1t is the name of that
blessed experience, which almost all
of us have had at some time or other
of coming back to health after an
illness.
The length of the period of con
valescence varies very much in diff
ferent illnesses and in different pco-
pie. 1t actually seems harder to
convalesce from some diseases than
i, is to have them. OF these, gri ippe
Is, perhaps, the most common.
Every step upward is 4 hard, slow
step, and The lime is often made
more trying by the low spirits that
grippe frequently leaves behind 1t.
In such a case there is nothing for
it but patience: as strength gradual.
ly comes back we shall find that the
symptoms grow less and less, and
finally disappear.
Some persons find it hard to re-
member that every wise GONZALES
cense must be gradual; that is why
a good nurse is almost as important
during convalescense as during the
real illEess. We all have a healthy
love of life, and we are never so
conscious of life as We are when We
have just escaped from the threat of
death; it is natural that our joy
should express itself in efforts to do
something to show that We are alive.
That is especially true after an at
tack of typhoid fever. Typhoid
usually lasts several weeks, and by
the time convalescepce begips, the
patient is heartily tired of being an
invalid, and very likely to abuse his
feeble, new born strength. a pa
tient who is getting we'll of typhoid
generally has a tremendous appetite
and unless he is careful to keep it
within bounds, he may have a re-
lapse.
In convalescense from such dis
orders of the respiratory tract as
pneumonia and bronchitis, there is
danger that the ever present germ
of tuberculosis may gain foothold,
and after scarlet fever great care
must be taken lest the kidneys be-
come inf1amed.
The way to avoid all these dan
gers is to make haste slowly. I'm.
