This awakening got to be habit with

careful treatment received. | was able
to sit up and get my bearings. Our
ward contained seventy-five patients.
80 per cent of which were surgical
cases. At the head of each bed hung
a temperature chart and diagnosis
sheet. Across this sheet would be
written &c. S. W." or IS. W." the for

latter shell wound. The rs. W." pre-
dominated. especially among the Royal
Field artillery and Royal engineers.
About forty different regiments were
represented. and many arguments en-
sued as to the respective fighting abil-
ity of each regiment. The rivalry was
wonderful. A Jock arguing with an
Irishman, then a strong COckney ac-

Wednesday ri Sunday OF each week
were visiting days and were looked
forward to by the men, because they
meant parcels containing fruit. sweets

visitor, he was generally kept well

jealousy is shown among the men as

ensue after the visitors leave.

Most visitors have autograph albums

him to write the particulars of his

try to duck this unpleasant job by tell
ing the visitors that they cannot write.

WHEN SCOUTS MISUSE Ak.

The West side organization Of the
Chicago local scout council has adopt
ed this regulation: mo scout of this
Jurisdiction shall carry an Ak except
when his registered scoutmaster IL

The mutilation Of trees In city parks
and on private property has been the
cause Of much criticism directed at
the Boy Scouts Of America. It can
only happen where the scout leader
ship overlooks the eagerness Of the
new scout to try his AZ on everything
in sight. Every scout should be made
to prove that he is a safe person to
trust with an AK before he Is permit
