r REBUILT
BY AMERICAN DENTISTS

I some minor operation performed. They
were all pretty we'll and could walk about
and their mouths had been built up In
the most wonderful manner Bones had
been grated in, false bridges inserted and
] all manner Of queer contrivances were at
work. When one of the patients laughed
heartily at a joke from the dentist, 1t al
most appeared as IL The whole structure
of his mouth would fall to pieces. How
ever, it was we'll founded, and withstood
the earthquake. Not a plate nor a spring
budged.
Some OF the men are sensitive about the
appearance they present, and when they
first come in frequently refuse to give the
address of their relatives.
we don't wish anybody ever to look at
us again." they say sadly. "Please put us
in any hole away from the other patients
and above all, don't let our people know
We're even living"
Mr.. Speakman. ''but we do all in our power
to give them confidence again. The best
way Is to show them photographs of men
who have looked even worse than them
selves, and who are now healed and re-
stored to health"
"And do you really think we, too, can
be patched up?' they inquire eagerly,
staring at the photographs of the suffer-
ers who have been worse than them
selves"
Turning Despair Into Hope.
One officer was brought in here with the
whole side of his jaw blown off, the en-
tire chin gone and the lips hanging in
shreds. He utterly refused to give his
home address in Paris. ''for," said he. ut
would kill my wife II she could see me in
this condition. Far better that she hin
I am dead"
He implored the doctors to put him In
a side ward. where no eyes could see his
Disagreement. And his wish was granted.
But he was not allowed to lie there mo-
ping. In every possible manner did the
doctors seek to cheer him up. The best
American skill was employed and his face
built up anew. I had a short talk with
him, and though not exactly handsome
he was not now repulsive to look at.
His fine dark eyes were %uninjured and his
features had been wonderfully restored.
Half a dozen men in the wards had new
noses-holes had been drilled and silver
tubes inserted for nostrils. The new
noses had been grated from some other
part Of the body or the flesh of the
cheeks had been squeezed up and strapped
In place. The latter method was employed
without any cutting. They were all cheer
full and exceedingly polite, as are all the
French soldiers.
In the dental wards are $50 beds, all
filled with bad cases. And the fame Of
the work done there has spread over the
whole of France and Belgium. The dem
fists and surgeons do not seek fame, and
most of them refuse to give their names
for publicity. But at the same time their
work, done so quietly and u~nobtrusively,
is worthy of the highest commentator
and is OF a character which will go down
to posterity in the annals of surgical tri-
] umph.

Paris-The dental department of the
American ambulance hospital at Neuilly,
Paris, In conjunction with the surgeons, Is
conducting a wonderful work. For men
are brought in here quite unacceptable
as human beings. their features having
been blown right off by hand grenade or
shetland they come forth with practi-
cally new faces.
1 should never nave believed u tri-
umphs of surgical skill possible had 1 not
actually seen the patients themselves IN
all stages of recovery and had their par
ticular cases fully demonstrated by the
doctors.
The grating on of new bone and flesh
Is accomplished in a remarkable manner.
and though in the final stages of recovery
some of the poor soldiers nave faces re-
markedly like chessboards, they are once
more "human," and no longer implore the
surgeons to hide them from the sight OF
their fellow men.
The Philadelphia dental unit which
came over last June is doing splendid
work. 1 had an interesting chat with DR..
Speakman. of Philadelphia, and several of
he other workers. The object of the de-
partment is to work in conjunction with
the surgeon in the building up of shat
tered jaws. and frequently in the remod-
cling or the entire face.

which protrudes oftenest from the
trenches, and which Is most frequently in
jured. Cases from all parts of France
and Belgium are sent to the American
hospital In Paris, for it's fame in this par
ticular line is widespread.
The men are brought in there in a terri
BILE condition, the chin being often en-
tirely blown away. the teeth all gone
and the nose missing. And they emerge
with new noses, new teeth and a new
chin.
I talked with one patient who was
breathing through two silver tubes in his
nose. He had been struck in the face by
a han grenade, which had carried off the
entire lower half Of the nose, lips and
chin. The bone below the nose was shat
tered and all the teeth gone. In the great
crevice Immediately below the nose the
dentists had made a false bridge and a
plate with teeth attached. There was a
portion of this extending up to the nose.
forming a skeleton base, over which 1t
was possible for the urgeons to restore
the lips. This they did by drawing the
tissues of the cheeks down.. The nose was
then built up and holes drilled through
the nostrils. The patient breathed
through little silver cubes, and when the
holes healed he vas to discard the tubes.
He was cheerful and grateful for all that
had been DONE. II feel pretty we'll now"
he said, smiling with his new" lips,
and I expect to return to the front when
ever they will let me-"

sQUANK AND THE JABBERW0CK.

one evening the dragon fly brought
terrible news to the court OF Emeres-
elda, queen Of the fairies; Jabberwock
was coming to destroy the palaces and
all the wonders OF Fairyland, and all
night long the queen and her fairies sat
up bemoaning their fate.
But little Squank. the pet goblin of
M court. spent no time in grieving.
Plenty of time to do that when
things are over" he remarked to a lit
tie gobltnette whom he had rescued
from an OGRE. "Now's the time to
think up something. so that we'll not

better that way. By-and-by he sud-

that he's awfully. awfully-plain," re-

Then I'm going out and find out
something really truly about him."
declared Squank.
With that he hurried off out Of the
palace grounds as fast as his legs
could carry him.
Out over the hills and through the
forest hurried Squank until there
came to his ears the most appalling
sound he had ever heard. Following
the sound, 1t led him to a deep glen

child's attention was a fountain which
spouted in the yard, fixing away in
bubbles. Thts singing water came up
through q spout. and all around it
were great mounds of pink and choco-
late ice cream.
Clarence was hungry. so he took up
a shell from the side Of the fountain
and began to eat.
Gee. but this is fine" he cried. "It's
a really, truly ice cream soda fountain,

stuffed till, he could hardly walk. Then
he walked into the bunfield and ate
five or six of them. After that he
walked around for several hours, adj

stream Of maple syrup.
BY sunset, Clarence was hungry
again. and again he filled up on ice
cream. a and buns and candy. Then
went to sleep. Early in the mornine
he was up. and made another meal Of

But no. he was in Candyland, and had

Child Killed at Tunnelton.

On last Thursday afternoon about
4:3O there was enacted at Tunnelton
the greatest tragedy that has ever
taken place in our community. The
scene was on the west bound Balti-
more and Ohio railroad track half way
between the freight depot and the
coaling station. And the horrible act
that appalled, and saddened the whole
town was the big engine on the fast
st. Louis express No. So striking and
killing little Elsie Taylor, the nine
year old daughter OF Mr.. and Mrs.
Samuel T.. Taylor. The little girl had
gone home from school and was re-
turning to town on an eTrand when
she met her tragic and untimely end.
She was walking on the edge of the
ties and while the engineer frantically
blew the whsle and used every effort
to stop his heavy train II was all with
out avail. The funeral was held on
Saturday at the local M. f. church
with interment at the Campground
cemetery From the time OF her death
until the funeral practically every citi-
zen visited the home OF the bereaved
parents. On Saturday the church was
unable to hold all who desired to at
tend the funeral services. Nearly ev-
cry school child attended the funeral
and they were augmented by the ma
tority of grown people here The
sympathy of the entire community
goes out to the bereaved parents in
their irreparable loss.
