+ DR.. Bruhn is the chief surgeon is de-
voted exclusively to the care of SOL
| diers who have been injured in the
jaws, and is far and away the largest
of its kind in Germany. Weekly it is
turning out men who, aside from scars
and somewhat impeded speech, are
about as good as before the war, men
who a few weeks or months before
were brought in in such shocking con-
dition that the layman, if he could en-
dure to gaze for long, would despair of
ever saving them.
The patients frequently are found to
have rife bullets imbedded in the
bones of their jaws, bullets often that
have been fattened out or twisted by
the compact of lead against bone.
More serious are the shrapnel ana
grenade wounds, which tear away
whole sections of the face and leave a
jaw fractured in a score of places.
Through the use of the Roentgen
ray, or X-ray, the patients exact injury
is established on his admission. In a
majority of cases there is some por-
ton of bone missing-a portion that
must be replaced by bone from some
part of his body.
Each patient is his own bone supply,
so to speak, and generally it is the
shin bone that serves. The ribs also
are a fertile field, and so fast does ma
ture work, the piece of bone taken out
for use in the jaw is rapidly replaced
by new growth.
One patient in the hospital late in
April, slowly recovering from shock
ing wound that gouged out his whole
lower jaw, has a strip of shin bone II
centimeters long in his mouth. On
top of that is new set of serviceable
teeth. The man is healthy and reas-
onably happy.
In dozens of cases is it not only nee

yealed, were sent to DR.. Christian
Bruhn, one of Germany's most disting-
uished dental surgeons, for the futher-
ance of his present life work-the
patching up of soldiers whose jaws
and teeth have been shot away.
The patching up process required
much gold. DR.. BRUINS clinic is free,
and thus far at least, unsupported
from any official quarter. AS his fame
has gone out over Germany, however,
his gold reserve has increased amaz-
ingly. A famous actress has given a
heavy medallion, the gift of the ruler
of German state. A noted litterateur
has donated similar gift from the
King of Sweden. Wedding rings,
seal rings, necklaces, gold coins, from
England and from Turkey, even old
gold teeth, have poured in on DR..
Bruhn, to be melted up and find their
way into the mouths of wounded SOL
diers.
Men who have viewed war from all
angles and who are intimately &C
quainted with its horrors have declar-
ed repeatedly that the worst part of it
is in the hospitals. The orthopedic in
stitution, where the soldiers are pains
takingly made new again so that they
may go back to the front, are infinitely
depressing.
But they cannot compare for sheer
horror with the great institution in
Dusseldorf and with DIR. BRUINS pri-
vate clinic, where dozens and scores
of men sit or lie with half of their
faces left, with nose and upper teetl
missing, with hands enclosed in steel
framework that supports broken lower
jaws until newly inserted bones shall

STATEMENT CORRECTED

In a letter received from P. G..
Voris Of Hinckley he says he dis
covered that he made statement
last Saturday night in Askoy
that was not correct. He said
that the government got $40
tax on every gallon of whisky.
He had confused the figures on
the amount Of tax they received
from the whisky made from a
bushel Of corn. The government
gets $1.10 from every gallon, the
distiller makes four gallons of
whisky from every bushel Of
corn. So the figures run some
thing like this:
! bushel corn ............. SO. 10
Tax at $1.10 per gallon. 49,. 4.40
Freight, dray, trade, etc. .11.65
Total. .:......... Slb.6U

portion the farmer really gets.
