ONE ENEMY LICKED.

Washington, August 1.-THE
cause of empyema, the disease of
the lungs which assumed the pro-
portions of an epidemic in the train
ing camps and environments last win
er, with a large number of deaths,
has been ascertained and the best
methods of treatment established,
Surgeon General Gorgas has an
nouced.
Next winter, or at any other
time, if a similar epidemic should
attack the men in training or over
seas the announcement said, ut
is certain that the Surgeon General
will be able to prevent a serious
spread and will be able to rob the
disease of its greatest danger"
The disease, it was found, is an
infection which attacks the men,
brane covering the lungs with the
production of a fluid that tends to
clog the lungs and thereby causes
death. The disease has been pre-
valent in armies for the last three
centuries, the statement says, and
since the American War of 1912
operation has been the method of
combating it.
Army medical experts. through a
series OF tests conducted at Camp
Lee. Va, have established that early
operation may involve great risks
without compensating benefits.
The new treatment consists of re-
moving the fluid fromed in the lungs
by aspiration.

couches in the bus, three guys with
badly fractured legs-one of 'em had
shattered hip-and fellow that
was bleeding from the mouth when
they put him in. But he thought
he'd be all right, so | came along.
I The three fracture cases were yell
ing when they were put into the
ambulance, and whenevr we'd go
over any kind of a bump they'd
scream, so l was just easing along
as slow as | could go.
I'D been craving along like that
nearly an hour when | heard knock
on the window behind me. / open

been bleeding from the mounth in
horrible shape. I'm bleeding to
death, buddy he says. Get me
to a doctor quick THE nearest
doctors Paris" | told him. And
l. | open her up these fellows with
the fractured legs-What about it,
fellows?" l asked them. 'This
boys got to get to doctor" Let
'er co. the three of them said.
Well get by. So threw her wide
open and came into Paris hell bent.
Il left the fellow who was bleed
ing at one hospital and had to take
the other three to another. After

that all of that awful ride not one
OF those three fellows with the
fractured legs had as much as utter

HELP SUPPLY NURSES.

A thousand graduate nurses must
be sent overseas each week for the
next two months to meet the require
ments of the Allied Armies, accord
ing to the word that has reached
Hartford from Lake Division Red
Cross headquarters.
The "thousand-a-week' request
tc the Red Cross has been made by
Surgeon General Gorgas, and Miss
Anna Gladwin, acting director of the
Lake Division Nursing Bureau, has
appealed to Red Cross organizations
throughout Ohio, Indiana and Ken
lucky to speed up enrolment of
eligible nurses.
In the six months ending July 81,
703 nurses had benn enrolled from
these three states 537 form Ohio,
1876 from Indiana and 80 from Ken
lucky Two hundred and ninety
one were enrolled in July. August
and September must each produce
at least triple that figure.
Approaching that public health
must not be permitted to suffer, the
Red Cross has been pushing its
Home Care of the Sick and its First
Aid Care courses as well as cooper
ating with other agecnies in recruit
ing student nurses to fill the de-
pleted ranks of the hospitals.
; Notice has gone out that the pay
of nurses going into active military
service has been increased to SIS a
month for overseas duty and $50 n
month for work in camps and can
tonments in America. This is in
addition to board and lodging and to
the same War Risk Insurance privi-
leges that are granted soldiers SAIL
ors and marines.
Nurses will respond to this i'm
perative call if the people of Hart
ford will conserve the nurse power
and impress upon the nurses that
the Greatest Mother in the World
must have thousands of them to
meet its obligation to the Govern
ment," says Miss Gladwin.

A new field of work has been de-
veloped by Italian surgeons in max
ing amputations which offers a re-
markable opportunity for assisting

Der Popular Mechanics Magazine.
1t is known as kind matization and
consists in forming at the end of a

flap is used as an attachment for the

Of the muscle remaining in the
