PASSING OF THE
 CRIPPLE
By MARION COUFH0UY SMITH
 Of The Yiga0Hf.s

Through the dark clouds which have gathered over the whole world we see at times T sudden gleam of light, like a passing glimpse of the clear blue be- yond. It k a flash of prophecy, brief vision If the renewed and purified world which should follow upon the tragic days of the great conflict In the coming time we trust that there will be not only spiritual uplifting but certain spiritualizing of material thingS-a beneficent use of agencies that have hitherto been selfiShly or narrowly applied. From the great stimulus of danger and sacrifice, and the nearness of sorrow and death, we shall gain keener and clearer under standing. Old things will pass away. To believe this is part of the intense faith and hope that We need to sustain us through the stress of the dark hour
 Mechanical power takes it's character from the spirit that uses it. All ma chinery is but an immense extension of the hands and of the soul of man. As the power within him is, so is the power with which he reaches out through the universe. for death and de struction, or for life and renewal. The Germans are using mechanical power inadvertently and diabolically accord ing to their natures. But in right human hands, it is, and will be in the future to still greater extent, strong agency in the restoration of the world.
 No More Useless Cripples.
 We have here to consider 1t as ap- piled by surgeons to the rebuilding of broken bodies, and so directly us q sustaining power to the souls of men. Hitherto in most cases maimed man has been broken man. With the con viction that he is practically useless, and with that strange false shame that makes him feel his disability as dis grace. merely because it is conSpicu- ous, most crippled men have been lit orally down and out. If poor. they have become beggars; if rich, they have dragged out a weary and Sorrowful ex- istence, with the loss of hope that comes from makeshift occupations and from the sense of helplessness. To this condition, of course. there have been shining exceptions-men who have fought their disabilities valiantly, and whose courage and enterprise have won for them high places. even in the industrial world.
 But hitherto these men have been re- garded as exceptional. The aim now is

pray, as the French the English and the Germans think and pray while their song of hope is being sounded?
 The Star-Spangled Banner" is our hattle-song. It goes into the thick of the fight with our flag and our boys. It emphasizes our hopes, our aims. our longings; and of what are We thinking We who stay at home-while it's strains are falling upon our ears? Are We, so to speak, playing the game?
 Should Offer a Prayer.
 Why shouldn't We, one and all, great and small, think alike for as long as five minutes in each day? Let there be but one thought, one prayer, while the hymn is ringing From one end be the beginning of our prayer the in- stant the band strikes up "The Star Spangled Banner"l
 God be with our flag and our sol diers and our arms wherever they may mel"
 And let this be the end of our de- vout, intensified prayer as the last note dleS away.
 God give us Victory" '"
 Not perfunctorily, not as a matter of duty, but with our hearts in it, our nerves aquiver, our eyes glowing with the fire of enthusiasm.
 One thought, one prayer in a hun dred million minds
 Every heart full, every mind intent as we face the enemy. For, after all, this Star-Spangled banner of ours Is facing the foe in a far-off land, and there is no other direction in which We may look.
 Our men go with the banner to the music of guns; we stand at home and face, not the guns, but a group of fid dlers Our thoughts, our prayers. nev- ertheless should be the same as theirs. Our silent prayer, however brief. should be for Victory. Let us always utter 1t, one and all, while "The Star Spangled Banner" is being played.

AiredaIes for War.

Airedales are superior to the Ger man police dogs for war work, in the opinion of signal corps experts. Lieut.. William L. Butler, stationed at Chi cago. says Airedales have the brains and courage needed in warfare. They carry messages when pigeons cannot fly true, they stand bad weather well, and their color is natural camouflage. They have a genius for going through barbed-wire entanglements without a scratch. The signal corps also wants some skilled dog-handlers.

CaIomel Today! Sick Tomorrow!
 Guarantee Dodson's Liver Tone Don't take nasty, dangerous calomel when bilious,
 eonstipated, headachy. Listen to mel

Caiomel makes you sick; you lose a days work. Calomel is quicksilver and 1t salivates; calomel injures your liver.

You will feel like work ing. You'll be cheerful; full of vigor and ambition.

Several officers were eating dinner at the club recently, when one asked ]: "Who Is that officer sitting at the ta- ble opposite us?'
 After long and studied glance one officer spoke up, "I think that Is my room mate."
 "You think it's your room mater" chorused the three.

to have all maimed persons so restored to usefulness aS to do away with the stigma of disability. The so-called cripple" is to pass away. He is to be rendered capable of doing, not Il crip- ple's job, but mans job; and his ability to dc it is 10 be an everyday commonplace fact. If only people at large will realize that this can be, ac- eept il as d right. and regard it as a duty so to accept 1t. the miracle will take place IS surely as that the green earth will be restored in spring.
 The soldier has better starting point than the average civilian, because he is not ashamed of his incomplete body. He is proud of it It has placed him on the roll of honor, as one hurt in the worlds defense We all know with what gentle and noble pride the old c. A. k. man carries his empty sleeve. So now, in q far greater de gree, We shall have an army of men whose injuries are their pride and glory, if only they can have at the same time the bodily power to move and to work that sustains the life of the soul.
 Employment for All.
 They can have it freely. The gov ernment will take care of this, if the people will understand, and avail them selves of what is offered them. Already in France hundreds of men are work ing skillfully in fields, shops and fac tories with new and better appliances than were ever known before. The skill and toll of surgeons and inventors have been earnestly and tenderly applied to the deep need of this noble army of sacrifice, and with greater results than we could have believed possible.
 It is wonderful to see what these fine responsive natures, are able to do! Their smiling faces and keen ac- tivity show their sane and cheerful out look upon the future. They are men, not cripples. The amazing contrivances that help them, particularly the me chanicaI arms and hands, are not beau tiful. but they have the attractiveness of adaptability. They are creators. Out of the creative energy of mans soul they come, bringing creative energy to another mans body, and thence also to his soul. They are truly mighty ex- tension of his power beyond the limits imposed by nature and by calamity.
 From the soldiers this stream of benefieent energy will extend to others, and in time We shall see on the streets no more crippled beggars, and in homes no more helpless wretches, waited on hand and foot by tired relatives and friends. Men and women we shall have, doing the work of men and women all the more bravely for the handicap that reused their energies, and made them lay hold eagerly upon the means of restoration. They will have preserved to them one of the most precious gifts of life-personal independence. Is not this a gfeam of light in the darkness?
