ElKS' PLAN IS TO
RECONSTRUCT
WOUNDED
HOSPITAL AT BOSTON WILL RE-
BUILD NAMED WAE
VICTIMS

NAooo' coA~
cornerstone Of Reconstruction Base
Hospital No. 1, the first of it's kind
in the United States and the gift to
the government by the Benevolent
and Protective Order of Elks, was
laid today in the presence of a dis
tinguished assembly of citizens.
Representatives of the nation,
state and city, with eminent men
of the medical profession and
thousands of Elks and prominent
citizens from all parts of the east,
participated in the ceremony on
Parker Hill and signalized by their
presence and words the Importance
of the event.
The first reconstruction hospi-
tai, which will serve as the model,
the standard-maker for similar
ones to be established throughout
the United States, will give the
manned and disabled American
soldiers and sailors the best of ex-
pert attention and occupational in
struction. 1t will rebuild human
wreckage into able-bodied men and
will educate them in occupations
which will best qualify them not
to become a burden to society.
The aim of the hospital in brief
- --.1 e. h. 20 vniiroivn tho
sufferings and disabilities caused
by the wal and to protect the COM
munity from an undue number of
crippled citizens.
The government, through the
surgeon-general's department, in
November last accepted the recon-
struction hospital plans as a gift
from the Elks. The Elks' war re-
lief commission is building the re-
construction hospital at a cost of
$250,000, the money being taken
from the Elks 100000 war re-
lief fund, voted by the Elks' 1917
convention. The hospital will be
ready to receive the wounded
American soldiers and sailors in
early September.
Every device and resource known
to the medical science will be at
hand at the reconstruction hospi-
tai to rebuild every part of the hui
man frame. Men with half their
faces shot away by shrapnel will
get new jawbones from their ribs
and new noses and new cheeks from
the cartilages and tissues on other
parts of their bodies.
Thousands of men who would be
human wrecks without proper treat
ment will be rebuilt at the new
reconstruction hospital and taught
trades that make them economic
assets instead of liabilities. The
men with fractures that have not
rightly knitted, with stiff joints,
with nerve palsies from shock or
from injury-these are the cases
the reconstruction hospital will
help. They will have had the regu-
lar base hospital treatment just
behind the firing lines, where the
first surgical work will be done
Manned and disfigured men will
be reconstructed by operation, by
apparatus, by education. Treat
ment will be given Not only to the
classes already mentioned but also
to those that need plastic operations
to remedy contractures or defects
or who need appliances to supplant
a missing limb. Those given arti-
ficial limbs will be educated in
their industrial use.
