SURGEONS DO GREAT WORK
Rehabilitation of Wounded Soldiers
Seems Little Short of Miraculous
to a Civilian.

Foster Debevoise of South Orleans,
n. J., on a recent tour through France
and England, visited the armies at the
front. and speaks with enthusiasm OF
their fndomitabIe spirit and unfailing
hopefulness.
In commenting he speaks on the
work done for wounded soldiers:
1.-THE men in English cities, of whom
/ saw hundreds, without legs or arms,
or with reconstructed faces, and those
IN hospitals in process of being mend
ed, oil had the same words: III only
could 90 back again! And this
brings me to another wonderful thing,
and that is the way the hospitals are
performing miracles. When finally,
sometimes after months and months Of
treatment. the reconstructlng process
Is finished, the men are taught trades
and placed In positions SO that they
are enabled to take up their lives
again with a large degree of happiness.
Straps operate as muscles on artificial
legs aud arms; and have seen such
men swing a hammer, play golf. KNIT
or work at lathes. 1t Is almost increo-
ible what is being done. Hats on 10

apply the same methods of recon-
struction to those of our boys that are

Rubber In Japan.

The rubber manufacturing industry
In Japan has developed greatly within
the past year in the scope and variety
of It's products. In the export trade,
too. H., importance is increasing. The
growth OF the industry may be seen
from the steady increase In the I'M
port of crude rubber. The official trade
returns state that the import In 1917
totaled 9.6S9,632 yen over the figure
for 1915. Formerly most OF the auto
mobile tires used in Japan were I'M
ported into that country. but now the
greater part of Japan's needs are sup
piled by domestic manufacturers. The
export of automobile tires has also
begun with the development of rubber
plants In Japan.

SOLDIERS LIKED WAR BREAD
Health Improved Through Use of
Unbolted Wheat Meal.

A little more than century ago,
when Britain had been fighting for
years against Napoleon, food became
very scarce Following is from a book
on bread-making, written by Sylvester
Graham, in 1887:
SIN order to conserve wheat as much
as possible, the British government or
dered that the army should be supplied
with bread made from unbolted wheat
meal. I. e.. simply the wheat ground
without having the bran or middlingS
removed The soldiers were at first
displeased with the bread and refused
to eat It, even casting it from them In
great rage, but after two or three,
weeks they began to be much pleased
with 1t and preferred 1t to the fine
-four bread.
1.-THE result of this experiment was
that not only was the wheat made to
20 further but the health of the sol7
diers improved so much and so mani1
testify in the course of a few months
that 1t became q matter of common re-
mark among themselves and Of obser7

and physicians of the army. They ex1
pressed themselves with confidence
and zeal on the subject. The public
declared that the soldiers were never
30 healthy and robust. The public pa
pers were for months filed with praise
of whole-wheat bread, and it was reg
ularly introduced into families.
"Still, after this experiment with
such happy results and so general and
full testimony had been given In ia
or of the coarse-wheat bread, when
large supplies of superfine flour came
in from America, and the crops from
home became again abundant and the
act of parliament regarding the food
Of the army became extinct, most OF
the people by degrees returned to their
old habits of eating fine bread"

TT is not enough to win rights

New men, new lights, and the code

What is liberty now were license

Mankind is marching army with
broadening front the while,
Shall it crowd its bulk on the worn

Of the human spiders whose silk is

They have learned that the only way

is by organized effort through banding
together in unions for the raising OF
wages and the shortening Of the hours

they have raised the STANDARD Of living

We who stand in the ranks of trade
And count the TALES that toll has made;
Who guard the Golfers of ugeagth untold,
And ford the streams of g1istsning gold;
Who send the train on jts 5reathless trips,
And rear the buildings and sail the ships;
And though our coats be a trife fine,
And though our diamonds fash and shine,
Yet we are the Iaboring men
The genuine E0boring men.
We bolt the gates of the angry seas,
We keep the nations granary keys;
The routes of trade we have built and planned
Are veins of life to hungry land.
And power haze we in our peaceful strife,
For nations trade is nations life;
And take the sails of our commerce in.

The lOafng wights and senseIeSs 5l0ats
Who drain their pockets to net their threats.
They're not the laboring men
The genuine laboring men,
And all true hearts that the price would gi0s
For honest joy and right to EUe,
And every soul to truth aIire,
Willing to thrive and let others thrive,
Should rise Nth a true and steady hand
And mark these foes NTH a viIIain brand,
And shame them into the ranks of toll,
Or crush tkens under their kindred soil
Array from the laboring men

 Worst Road In Region
 In the best of the touring season the roads through Intervale, Bridgton, Fryeburg and Naples to Poland are admittedly the worst roads in that region: but never were the roads in such d condition as on that day. The frost was just coming out of the ground. The mud was a sight to be- hold. At the foot of hills the water had settled in ponds. The car was rushed through at the best speed possible. Mud and water splashed in every direction. The car was de- iuged with dirty water and mud. 1t still rained hard but undaunted, the csr made for Poland. At times the mud was so deep and soft the wheels settled and the chassis of the car left a ridge on the road.
 Not a bit of mechanical trouble was experienced during the entire journey. From start to finish not a single spark plug was changed. 1t was not necessary to tighten a single nut. The performance of the car was perfect. It went through snowdrifts and mud 1 in a most admirable manner. The car went lover the top.

This is a novel picnic party. The cut shows only part of the party how ever. Recently Mrs. J. A. Steiner of Scottsdale suggested that all persons in the town who owned Chrevolet au- tomobiles take their families and friends with them and go on a picnic excursion to Granite Reef.
 Roy s. Powell, representative of the Brown Dryer Motor company, Phoenix, who has sold 10 Chevrolets to Seotts- dale people recently, took the matter up and arranged for the picnic. It was found that there are more Chrevolets owned by Scottsdale people than any other make of cars there. ScottSdale. so to speak is a Chevrolet town. So, with this popularity to start with the Chevrolet qualified to a queens taste for a picnic all it's own.
 The run was made to Granite Reef, where an excellent dinner was served. On the way back this picture was made. The owners of Chevrolet cars in the party were c. E. Coldwell. w. NJ. Stewart. J. A. Steiner. James Clark, w. P. Smith. J. J. Krallman, Charles Prather, C. F. Griffith, L. S. Gammill, E. R. Coldwell and Roy $. Powell.

CHALMERS HOT-SPOT
 FLOWS THROUGH AZ MILES IF SNOW-MUD

A Chalmers was the first car to go through Crawford Notch, New Hampshire, this season, and, in ma1- ing the trip, proved itself worthy of admiration. The trip was most un- usual inasmuch as great quantities of snow and mud were encountered, and it rained necessarily. throughout the journey.
 It was surprise to the party to find the ground at the Plume House covered with snow. but it continued it's way through Bethlehem, arriving at the Mount Washington hotel at l0:5S in the morning.
 Large and deep snowdrifts blocked the way from Breton Woods to the Crawford house, and the going was very difficult. No vehicle had been through to break out a path. The car had to make it's own path and then go on. Sturdily. the car would buck into drifts like a batterng ram. II would make a little headway. and, then. with another good start, would make further gains into the drift

Then, the rope on the right-hand side of the car was tied to the forward part of the right reaI wheel, thence to a tree. The clutch

PROPOSED ADVANCE IN FREIGHT RATES
 MAY HELP BUSINESS

The report that Director General McAdoo's advisers in the railway situ- ation have recommended an increase of approximately 2o per cent in both freight and passenger rates is causing considerable interest in automobile circles. It is generally expected that such increase will be put into effect some time before July l.
 Such a move is bound to have the effect of sharply stimulating the de- mand for automobiles" is the opinion of Billy Ferguson of the Ferguson keeler company Oldsmobile dealers in this city While the greatest effect" continued MT. Keeler. will be to divert a great quantity of short freight hauls to motor trucks. there will also be marked increase in the use of pas senger cars for strictly utilitarian pur- poses.
 This raise of 25 per cent will make it more economical for salesmen who cover fairly compact territory to use motor cars practically all of the time Likewise. many business and profess sional men, who ordinarily use the railroads fairly extensively, will use their automobiles instead whenever possible.
 Again. the ombination of high rates and lessened conyeniences of railroad travel is very apt to have the effect of discouraging extensive vacation ! tours, and the first alternative that naturally suggests itself is a motor trip. This is good plan. too. in more ways than one. Not only does it offer more real enjoyment than the con- ventional trip to some resort but it is far more healthful and stimulating to better effort upon ones return.
 There is another thing to be consid- cred. Latest official figures show that the nation is very rn pidly building up good reserve supply of gasoline. so that every one who substitutes motor ! fuel for coal Of which there is very ! real shortage. is rendering the whole | ..or1rtt.,- o

How ever, if the starting system has volt age of twelve or higher, it will prob ably injure or burn out the coil. Use only three cells of the 12-volt battery.
