EDUCATE THE MUSCLES
New Line of Medical Science Is Aid
to Manned Soldiers.

Philadelphia, Dec. 19.-Re-educa-
ton of muscles in the human body. a
new branch of medical science devel-
oped by the war. will be instituted as
part of the course given in the Hahne-
mann medical college of Philadelphia.
Hahnemann is the first place of learn
ing in the United States to give such
a course.
In explaining the idea which has
been tested in England and Canada,
Professor Baker said if the wounded
are returned without a right arm, the
muscles of the left arm are practically
useless. By the aid of knowledge
gained in the new course a wounded
soldier can be taught the natural
movement of the muscles.

WHAT ARE WE GETTING?
(By Nels Yingle.)

(By NelS Jingle
What are We getting out of this war,
With its death, its destruction, its strife,
Are we holding our hands while We wall at
the loss
That's disturbing our selfcentered life
Do we spend just as much for the clothes
that wear,
And the frills that we wear for a while,
And cast them aside just to purchase some
more,
Because they have gone out of style?
Are deeply concerned with the shortage of
dye?
Are we missing the imported lace?
Are we feeling impatient because thoughts
Of war,
Have slackened the swift social pace?
What are we getting out of this war
As we read of the dying and dead,
And hear of the widows and orphans by
scores,
Who plead for their portion of bread?
Are We really beginning to see thru it all
The self-centered life that we live,
And are we beginning to measure our
worth,
By the unselfish service we give?
God grant we are getting out of this war,
With its murder, destruction and strife,
A deeper, a truer, a nobler sense
OF the things We should get out of life.

But why does Kansas seek a state
song when it already has every requi-
site of one in 1.-The Call of Kansas" by
Miss Esther Clark, of Chanute, Kan,
who wrote it in California in 1907?
Here is one verse:
Sweeter to me than the salt sea spray, the
fragrance of summer rains;
Nearer my heart than these mighty hills
are the wind swept Kansas plains;
Dearer the sight of a shy, wild rose by the
Than ali the spIendor of poppy fields ab1aze
in the sun of May.
GAY as the bold pOinsettia is, and the bur-
den Of pepper trees,
The sunflower, tawny and gold and brown,
is richer to me than these.
And rising ever above the song of the
hoarse, insistent sea,
The voice of the prairie calling,
Calling me.
The club has been trying to find
poem on Kansas that has the music as
well as the words. and SO far there has
been no poem offered that filled the
requirements both POLITICALLY and mu-
sically.

young went to study the work with about the

People seem to think the is branch of the Chris
an Endeavor society and given entirely to religion
baths and mild athletics Nothing could be further from
this thought. secretaries nowadays real and
understand They make the place of comfort

rules and precept They merely give them clean at

simple games and rest and lounge in quiet place that

That is all.
But the effects sink in.
The clean atmosphere and the refinement and the
real manness of the place antiseptcs for the foes
and sins and needless reclessness of camp life.
The work is real Don't overlook that fact for
minute.
