LIMBS MADE OF CARDBOARD
Artificial Leg, Invented by Danish Doc
tor, Enables Wearer to Walk Soon
After Amputatlon.

A Danish doctor at a hospital In
Paris has invented q cardboard leg
which enables the wearer to go about
without crutches two days after his
limb has been amputated.
The materials used are two sheets
of cardboard about three-sixteenth OF
an inch thick, and bandages soaked in
starch solution. After careful meas
urements have been taken the card
board is cut into what looks like two
peg-tops, which after being soaked In
the bath fold round each other and are
secured with bandages.
The principle is that of an egg In n
cup. and the patient can wear the log
long before the wound is completely
healed. He can thus get air and exer-
else, which it is usually impossible to
obtain at this phase Of his GONZALES
cence; also he has to suffer none of
the inconvenience of clutches, stick
sufficing for his needs. The leg, prop
erly treated, lasts from six months to
year, by which time a permanent
artificial limb is ready to be fitted.

that the Spectator will invade these

sort of restriction or limitations so

Why She Blushed.

Flossle, the waitress, was very keen
on a certain handsome young man
who always sat at one of her tables.
She fluttered round him and ogled

mans lack of response by the fact that
he stammered.

asked one day, and there were several
shades of meaning in her tone.
The young man glanced at her and
said:
"Will you let me have q xxx"
The maiden blushed violently at this
significant sound and threw a glance
of triumph at the other mattresses.
"a k-k-cup?" finished the young
man.
The girl blushed deeper than ever
at this and the young man went on:

SOLDIER DROPS DEAD AT DRILL
South Haven Boy Stricken With Heart
Disease on Parade Grounds.

Mobilization Camp, Grayling-While
participating in company physical ex-
ercises' Monday morning William
Smith, 1S years old, of Grand Haven,
member of Company f, Thirty-sec-
ond infantry, dropped dead on the
parade ground. The cause of death
was acute dilation of the heart. His
brother Frank, member of the same
company, was drilling in the squad
with him. Smith enlisted May 3, and
was a son of Samuel Smith, a Civil
war veteran.
Medical reserve officers who examin-
ed the members of the Michigan regi-
ments now encamped here, rejected
many men who were without physical
cal imperfections should have barred
them from the army. AS a result a
large percentage of the sickness in
camp today may be laid at their doors,
according to a high infrmary official.
There are men in my regiment"
said the medico, whose shortcomings
are so palpable that the ordinary lay
man should be able to recognize them.
And yet, the examining officers turned
down several hundred men on the most
flimsy excuses, which further exami-
nations proved would not hold.
Many of the men they passed are
now in the hospital and will be there
large part of the time they remain
in the army and will not only be use
less themselves. but will take up the
time of other men caring for them"

tramp on. But, heavens, he was dirty.
I'll put you at the dish washing
said the restaurateur, and then he took
out a two-lira note. But, here, take
this first, and go and get a bath
"As the tramp, bowling and scraping,
started off. the restaurateur called him
back and said:
"There may be some change. In
that event, take another bath"

CAUGHT At Last


II ye have tears prepare to shed
them now. Chicago food spectators
caught with q vast surplus Of storage
eggs on their hands, are losing $500
a car selling them at present prices.
They have appealed to the government
to help them from their pitiful plight
by making storage eggs q part of the
army ration and by taking the vast
surplus off their hands at q profit to
themselves! More than that, the spec
ulat0rs, it is said, are asking the
government to fix the price of eggs
SO as to give the holders 1919 over
cos:. 80
Local womens organizations have
taken stand against any such action
by the government, but asks, on the
contrary that egg storage plants be
compelled to put one fourth OF their
product on the market each month.
1t is unbelievable that the government
would become q party to the plot of
the spectators who had hoped to
wax rich this fall off the wants of
the people. But the government,
whatever it does, should not allow
these eggs to be wasted, and thus
diminish the nations food supply. II
it should desire to use them to feed
its army it should commander them
at certainly not more than market
prices and let the thWarted vutlures

empty stomachs. st. Paul Pioneer.
