TO RESTORE FACES THAT
HAVE BEEN RUINED IN WAR
ORGANIZATION ESTABLISH
MENT OF HOSPITAL IL PARIS HAVING THAT VIEW.


Backed by some Of the best known
men and women in this country and
by the American Red Cross, nation
wide organization is being started to
raise funds for the creation of a
great hospital in Paris. the purpose OF
which will be the rebuilding Of mutt
lated human faces" resulting from
wounds received in the war. Among
those who have agreed to become
patrons Of "The American National
Committee for the Foundation of a
Special American Hospital in Paris
for Wounds Qf the Face and Jaw" are
Miss Mabel Boardman of the Ameri-
can Red Cross, Major-Gen. William C.
Gorgas, Surgeon General OF the
Army; DR.. Truman w. Brophy of Chi
cago; DR.. Samuel W. Lambert, Dean
of the College Of Physicians and Sur
geons of this city; DR.. George w.
Grille. the well-known Cleveland spe-
cialist, and Dr. Harvey w. Cushing
Of the Harvard Medical School. DR..
H. l.. Wheeler, $50 Fifth avenue, New
York, Is chairman Of the Central
Committee.
The announcement OF the establish
ment Of this new American institu-
tion in Paris, issued yesterday. states
that the main purpose Of the hospital
is the restoring of horribly mutt
lated human brothers to the semb-
lance of human beings"
"In the first twelve months OF the
war;" the statement adds, "the Of
fetal reports show 6.490.O00 wounded.
In this terrible sum OF human misery
there has been little timA to think Of
after--effects. II is nothing that a
mans face is shot away. If his life
is not in danger ne must leave the
hospital as soon as possible to make
room for a new victim
Although because OF the character
Of trench warfare. the number Of
facial wounds has been in the proper
tion far greater than in any other
war. the director of a general hos
,pital has declared that il has been
decided on principle not to treat any
facial wounds i'm his hospital They
are now crowded out because the
room is all-imperatively necessary in
the never-ending battle to save life.
And there is no hospital for the treat
ment Of these wounds
THE consequence is that a heroic
young man may go out into the world
in possession of his strength and all
his faculties. but with so revolving an
appearance that people shrink from
him on the street. Noses are blown
off: cheek bones crushed. upper jaws
caved in. and lower jaws shot away,

'Tis said when man is in need of

He is eager to sit down;
Eat and eat till he feels good,
Get up and stroll around.
Right here we surely had a feed,
And each Odd man will say,
No better grab he does not need,
Don't get such every day.
Let all the boys who shook the hand,
OF others whom they met,
Decide there's nothing in this land,
Good as Odd Fellows yet.
Enough of men will say that's true,
Or else I'll say I'm wrong;
Depend upon it me and you,
Did then enjoy some song.
From several friends with smiling
faces.
Each one l do declare
Let singing go up in that place,
Like music in the air.
On brighten up your corner, friend,
What all do love to hear;
Such singing l love TO attend.
Does sound sweet to my ear.
I'm glad that l belong to them,
No better in this land;
No, sir, no grander lodge for men,
Enter this jolly band;

people to be calm and helpful With that appeal goes
the declaration that th, period of reconstruction will
be Iona and filled with many difficulties He is conf
dent, however, hat he and his government will be
able TO overcome them.
The appeal and the accompanying assurance should
be well received by that section Of the Mexican popu-
lation that is capable of understanding and apprecat
ing them From that section the good word should filter
down through the submerged sections and exercise a
queting and beneficial effect
The imperative need OF the present is the suppress

who refuse to accept thenew and persist in
their trouble making. The Carranza Government is
proceeding against them and the remnants of their
forces with commendable zeal With those disturbing
elements disposed Of the work of reconstruction should

Rheumatism
Physician Believes a Genuine Remedy
for the Disease Has Been Found.

Rheuma. the wonderful rheumatism
remedy sold by n. B. Danforth and all
druggists at so cents a bottle. gives
quicker and more lasting relief than
other remedies costing many times as
much.
Rheuma passes the deadly poisonous
secretions into the bowels and kid
neys. from which they are quickly
thrown off in a natural. healthy way.
Read what a reputable physician
says about Rheuma: Il have made
most careful investigation of the for
mula employed in the manufacture OF
Rheuma, and ! heartily recommend it
as a remedy for all forms of rheuma-
tism ] find Rheuma far in advance
of the methods generally employed in
the treatment of rheumatism, and al
together different in composition from
the remedies usually prescribed"

rheumatism confidence in trying Rheu-

These horrible wounds are at present
entirely neglected. There is no time,

"One young man was brought back
from the fring-line with nothing to

with a little help from you and
other humane Americans thousands
OF these young men can be sent back

too frightful to be sent broadcast

THE greatest facial surgeons in
the world have contributed their SER
vices to a hospital to be established
in Paris for the treatment Of these
wounds. The French War Office has
offered a suitable building. The
American Red Cross will supply dis
infectants. gauze. bandages, cotton.
and other hospital supplies. It will
also give $1,000 in cash when $1S,-
600 has been raised elsewhere and
may be OF future assistance.
For each $4,000 the committee
can establish and maintain one hun
dred beds. Even one hundred beds
will do a great work. Five hundred
will do wonders"
The new hospital will devote itself
to skin grating and the other highly
expert work necessary in the rebuild

tributions should be sent to the Amer
