Canadian mechanic who was MANNED
and afterward re-educated became a
foreman at more than double his for
mer pay. It was only their seeming
misofortunes that opened for these
men the opportunity to secure the edu-
cation their talents merited
The Red Cross sends out strong
warning against mistaken kindness to-
ward the MANNED men who are even
now returning If, it says, the public
insists on making lions of these men,
it will end by making them babies. If
employers hunt through their plants
for snaps for them, and give them
jobs that mean little more than hold
ing down stools and reminiscing about
their daring deeds, then indeed we
shall complete the work of destruction
for them, manning minds as well as
bodies.
We, the American people, are going
to be asked to spend more time. more
money and energy keeping these men
in the game than it would cost to
merely support and amuse them and
let it go at that We must make them
special harnesses, actually and meta
phorically, and then have patience
while they are getting adjusted to 1t.
And we must see that they have their
chances at suitable emplOyments.
But these men are going to have
something more than just marvellous
appliances that will enable them to do
almost any kind of work. These mems
tremendous sacrifices won't be paid
back by letting them in on life's work,
but not its social game. SO they are
going to have Sunday arms and legs
as well as the work-a-day wonders A
man with both hands gone may, with
perfectly nodded fingers, light his own
cigarette or play cards And man
with his face so ravaged that his best
friend could not restrain shudder

They are already rebuilding the
broken homes of France. And they
are already rebuilding the broken men.
Over here we, too, are getting ready
to devote to the same task the best OF
American skill and genius.
For each million of our men who
enter action ten thousand will be so
crippled as to need mechanical appli-
anceS, and they will have to be spe-
cially educated to use these so that
the action of the missing limbs will
be reduplicated as closely as possible.
If the Germans had had the entree
to certain parts Of France last fall
they might have seen fields that they
once destroyed yielding their best crop
in years And they might have seen
some of these fields being reaped by
men they thought they had done for.
They were men with varying de-
grees of leglessness and armlessnesS.
Some ran (and repaired) tractor en-
gnes. Some, with both arms gone
above the elbows, spaded the ground
with the aid of a clever mechanism
to which the spade was hooked. One
man, who also had but the stump of
each arm left, not only used a scythe
but kept it sharp.
The Red Cross is running five
hundred acre farm in France on which
the MANNED are taught the use Of farm
implements and the care of domestic
animals, and is already laying its
plans for great work for the manned
In this country. The end and aim of
all it's work will be to fit men to re-
turn to their own homes, and re-enter,
as nearly as possible, their former
place in life.
Sometimes these re-educated men
take a far higher place in the com
munity than they occupied before. For
instance, men who have been automo-
bile mechanicians, and whose legs
were mutilated have been re-educated
in mechanical drafting. Bridge work

FLU" EPIDEMIC
REALLY IN PAST
ASSERTS Blue

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-In view of
serious occurrences of Influenza cpl
denies in many parts of the country,
Surgeon General Rupert Blue, of the
United States public health service,
has issued this reinsurance:
The country need not fear that the
influenza epidemic will return. 1t mas
come and gone for good
DR.. Blue explained that sporadic
outbreaks of the disease may be ex-
pected in various parts of the country,
as in all epidemics, and added that
like the poor, we have influenza al
ways with us"
DR.. Blue doesn't believe there will
be this winter, another such general
visitation as that which has eXacted q
toll of 100000 civilian and 10000 sold
Ter and sailor lives in this country.
Influenza cases are still reported
fl ON coast to coast.
There are little pockets in various
places which the epidemic may have
skipped" Dr. Blue said, land in these
a recurrence of the disease on a small
scale may be expected.
The coming of cold and inclement
weather, bringing colds and bronchitic
i'll its wake, will also cause the disease
to reappear in some places. But it will
rot recur in it's virulent form for some
years, perhaps, because it has practic-
ally exhausted the number of its po-
tential victims.
THE only places where the epidemic
is now raging in full force are Alaska
and Porto Rico. The public health SER
vice recently dispatched naval col
lier to Alaska with physicians, nurses
and supplies to fight the disease, and |
have cabled to the governor of Porto
Rico asking what is needed there.
THE public should remember that
influenza is always with us, although
not in the form of an epidemic In 1916
1900 deaths were attributed to it in
this country.
There is practically nothing that
can be done to prevent its spread, I'M
less it be to build an exceptionally
high Chinese wall around the places
where it exists. The public health SER
vice experts are continuing their study
OF the disease and experimenting on
vaccines and serums, but nothing has
yet been found in the way of a pre-
ventive. The same rules of precaution
that were followed during the cpl
domic should be followed in places
where the disease recurs."

QUIT MEAT WHEN
KIDNEYS BOTHER
Take glass of Salts before breakfast
If your Back hurts or Bladder
is troubling you

No man or woman who eats meat regu-
larly can make a mistake by flushing the
kidneys occasionally, says a well-known
authority. Meat forms uric acid which
excites the kidneys, they become over
worked from the strain, get 1luggish and
fail to filter the waste and poisOns from
the blood, then we get sick. Nearly all
rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble.
nervousness, dizziness, sleeplessuess and
urinary disorders come from sluggish
kidneys.
The moment you feel dull ache in the
kidneys or your back hurts or if the
urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sedi.
ment, irregular of passage or attended by
a sensation of scalding, stop eating meat
and get about four ounces of Jad
Salts from any pharmacy; take q
tablespoonful in glass of water before
breakfast and in a few days your kidneys
will act fine. This famous salts is mad,
from the acid of grapes and lemon juice
combined with lithia, and has been use
for generations to flush and stimulat
the kidneys, also to neutralize the acid
in urine so it no longer causes irritation
thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and canno
injure; makes a delightful effervescen
lithIa-water drink which everyon
should take now and then to keep tn
kidneys clean and active and the bloc
pure. thereby avoiding serious kline
complications.

Fifty Per Cent Saving

Again the popular One-Cent Sale
given by the Rexall Store, III. j. Con-
nell, proprietor, is leading merchan-
disc event of the week. This week
Thursday, Friday and Saturday are
One-Cent Sale days at the Connell
Drug store. People of Belding and
vicinity need no introduction to the
one-cent sale idea. Mr.. ConnelI has
had several of these in the past two
years, and always with good success.
A One-Cent Sale is sale where a
regular article of merchandise is sold
at the standard price, and by paying
one cent more two of the same articles
can be obtained. This makes the
price virtually just one-half the stan
dard price. In the list Of offerings
are articles used by every household
er and the purchase of second iden-
ticle for one cent means a material
saving. Everyone is learning to take
advantage. of these opportunities to
save money and purchase standard
Rexall merchandise at a fifty per
