1000 STUDENTS TAUGHT
TO SAVE MEMS LIVES.

Great Lakes. H., Aug. 14-Greatest
Of all its ii in the world is the Great
Lakes naval training station hospital
school. Here 1000 students are learn
Ing one of the most important duties
OF modern warfare, thai of caring for
the sick and wounded.
In war, before medical science took
It's place in the field as an important a
part as any fighting unit, more deaths
resulted from disease and infection of
wounds than from the wounds them
selves. Millions of lives were thus sac
riiiced.
The "hosapps.' as the hospital APP
prentices are known here. are the high
brows" of the enlisted men at the sta
ZION. On account of the intensive
training and study necessary for a man
to learn the course which fits him for
his work in the short training period.
only those with good basic educations
are accepted for enrolment in the
school,.
Probably half of the men are from
colleges and universities and many are
graduate physicians and registered
pharmacists. The others are either
high school graduates or those who
have finished the greater part of their
academic courses with high grades.
Schooling of the men begins in the
detention camp where all recruits ar
rlv!llg at the station are held for three
weeks apart from the main station, lest
a new arrival develop a communicable
disease. First aid and the rudiments of
seamanship which every enlisted man
must know, are taught here. Once hav-
ing passed through the detention per
lod, study begins in earnest. In the
three months preliminary traininr tbs
Jackie learns how to compound simple
prescriptions, to feed and nurse the SACK
and wounded, further steps in first ana.
II chemistry. 1t is said tina in the
three months course in chemistry, the
jackie learns more of this science than
the college student does in the whole OF
his freshman year. Not only is ii full
elementary course prescribed, but there
is also analysis of foods for the detec-
O of p~reservatjves, administration of
anaesthetics, and the action of con
mon drugs, including treatment for
poisons.
Emphasis is laid upon camp SANTA
tlon and personal hygiene. Botany,
with special reference to common wild
plants of medicinal value, is also
studied.
Less than a year & the Great Lakes
school had but so students. With the
increased complement of the navy to
100000 men, the hospital corps was
correspondingly increased, represent
ing 3 per cent of the total enlisted
strength. More tina 300 graduates are
sent to sea for duty on the ships every
month.

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

A Danish doctor at n hospital in
Paris has invented a 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-siNteenth Of
an inch thick. and bnndages soaked in
Il 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 a
cup. the patient cnn e the leg
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 crutclles, n stick
SuflicinG for his needs. The leg, prop
erly treated, lasts from six months to
Il year, by which time a permanent
artificial limb is ready to be fitted.

This Barber is worth 100000.

The American Magazine has an
article about a barber who does not
need your tip. The writer says:
"a few months ago a white haired
gentleman. SO years old, stood in the
doorway of a ba.ber shop. His eyes
were dimmed with tears as he gazed
upon this superbly fitted room. He saw
courteous, rapid workers attending to
the wants Of the many customers Who
came and vent; he watched the use of
every instrument obtainable: to insure
the comfort OF the patrons; he heard
the click of h cash register as it
quickly received the coins; and yet he
was sad. Flo he. Jacob Hysler, had
sold his barber shop in the Hotel Man
haitian, New York. where he had been
for 20 years, and although SO years
old. he felt lonesome and useless. He
retired with $780, 0O, a town horss, a
country place, n two automobiles.
He has shaved five presidents Of the
United States and other celebrities,
and yet he is said. For Jacob Hysler
wants to keep on working"
