thy the merest chance-the chance
l60 being man who had been talk
ing to me about the war-there
fell into my hands recently a little book
entitled I'm a French Hospital" which
proved most interesting.
This little volume which has drifted
to American readers through the very
excellent translation of a person named
Betty Yoemans' Is well worth while,
containing as it does the personal ex-
periences of a Frenchwoman whose five
brothers have been wounded during the
war in the defense of their beloved
country, cleaned while she was serving
as volunteer nurse at the hospital of
ST. Dominic.
This especially privileged hospital is
under the gentle management of the
Sisters of St. Vincent de Paul, and
somehow after reading the intensely in
teresting little chronicle one realizes as
one has never realized before why the
French soldiers have made of their bod
les a human frontier about their be-
loved country, and why France, torn
by religious dissensions is once more a
united and devout nation and why the
spirit that inspired the "Marsai1laise"
Is once more leading the people of
France to victory against their foes
Scarcely a narrative in the little vol
ume I'm a French Hospital" just pass
ing impressions, incidents, emotions and
experiences, set down as the spirit
moved the writer and a spare moment
was found in her busy. hurrying life
can be overlooked for each In more i'm

THE HOUSEHOLD
EDITED By ANNE RITTENHOUSE
EAT WHAT YOU WANT

Dr. Samuel G. Dixon, commissioner OF
health in Pennsylvania drew attention
a little while ago, to the fact that some
times a great deal of harm was done by
taking all the pleas from Government and
other authorities for food economy too
literally He said that many Of the model
diet lists drawn up were based largely
on their heat producing power and that
they were the result of experiments made
with persons in good health.
We all know that on some of the hot
days of August a lunch consisting of a
dish, perhaps, of cornmeal and cheese
would be quite unpalatable. A fruit salad
would be far more to our liking. Perhaps
the fruit salad would not give US a suf-
ficient amount of nourishment but nour-
ishment is not what we wanted. We
wanted a tempting dish that did not tax
our digestive apparatus heavily. The fruit
salad too, might have been more expen-
sive than the dish of cheese and corn
meal but on those particular occasions
the fruit salad would have been quite
justifiable and we might even call it
economical because it would help to keep
US in a PLEASANT state of mind and
comfortable state of health and so would
make it easier for us to do the work
we had to do.
So much for a person in normal health
but in abnormal situation. The person
in health that in any way deviates from
normal must also be careful not to modi-
fly his or her diet too radically because
of a desire to economic In food expendi-
lures. If a physician prescribes eggs
and you can afford them even when they
are or cents piece, you really ought
to buy them. By keeping yourself fit
you are effecting one sort of economy
quite as important as that effected by
the woman who reduces her bills for food
or at least keeps them from going to

Wounded in the Defense of Their Beloved Country

scoffer at religion, against whom the
nun opposes her frail strength to pre-
vent this soldier savage doing physical
harm to the orderlies who would serve
them in their pain and again you can
almost sec that same desperate, under
the sisters gentle guidance receiving
his first commission as humbly as lit
tie child might receive it.
Then again you get a glimpse of the
love letters, dictated or written by the
soldiers boys, of tears they shed for
lost comrades; of concerts they gave
behind the trenches when three days
rest of the regiments afforded the OPP
portunity to forget their woes-concerts
given by those celebrated in the an
mails of opera house and Partisan thea
tres whose names the world bows be-
fore in humblest homage OF their talent
and their art-with 20 scenic effects
save the war-strewn wastes beside the
trenches.
To mothers verywhere-throughout
the earth-comes this wonderful tribute
from the battlefield told in the words
of a wounded French soldier boy who
said:
After the battle that day you
couldn't hear yourselves talk any more
in the trenches for the cries of the
wounded. 1t was like one great unln-
terrupted wall. You could make no APP
peals prayers. calls for help, womens
names. Then, little by little, silence
came again as a good many Of them
died What we heard sounded longest
on the battlefield, from one end to the
other, was the word 'Motheri' 1t Is
always those who are dying who cali
like that; we know that well now
Again is quoted a letter written by a
French captain to one who had very
specially and silently filled this heroif
role of mother when he dies:
No monuments, you see. are built Il
mothers woes;
And if one tried, as by all rights one
should,
To mark by bronze or marble what they
suffer,
The passersby could not endure to see
their tears.
It is easy after reading I'm French
Hospital" to realize that even in the
red handed carnage wrought by the
dread war god, there Is still a spiritual
and a sentimental side to it as we'll!
