AMBULANCE DRIVER:
LONGS TO GO BACK

Garry On" the government maya
zine devoted to reconstruction Of
wounded and disabled soldiers and
sailors, has in the OctOber-November
| number very interesting article
from a wounded ambulance driver,
telling of his feeling when told that
he would have to be sent home be-
cause of his injuries that made him
physically unfit for further service in
the field
He describes how after they had
examined his wound under an X-ray
machine, that the young doctor in
charge of the hospital where he was,
said in a very quiet and kind way,
"Ill have tc send you back to the
States Continuing he says:
And then all the old desires for
the sight of faces and scenes loved
ones became a shame to me. How
would desire to go back-how could l
wish that | might sit in the glow of
an evening fire and listen to the MUIR
muir of beloved voices? And went to
| my bed with en- aching heart"
In tbs state of rebellion they sent
him back to the States without even
his mother knowing of his coming.
| When asked to help in the rehabilita-
ton of his unfortunate comrades, he
refused almost resentful v. He
wanted to be a soldier at the front
and not thousands of miles from
there, unfit for the service which he
had always thought solder was in.

have been sweet besides the bitter
thought of going home before the fin

He began to realize that he was
being distanced by his cd comrades.
They were at the front, gaining dis
t.nctlcn as soldiers. They were where
deeds worthy of soldier were per-
formed. His griends and companions
were being promoted, they were hold

RAW MILK And CREAM

To protect children, invalids
and those who are in a run
down condition against milk
. infections. raw milk and cream
should be avoided.
Some of it may be safe and
wholesome for healthy adults.
but it is not always reliable,
and many outbreaks of infec-
tious diseases have been caused
by raw milk. sometimes even
by the special or certified kind.
Properly pasteurized milk and
cream, carefully cooled and bot
tied. is the only kind people
should drink. If this cannot be
obtained, scald the raw milk
without boiling it.
The heat-treating OF milk does
not-as is sometimes asserted
impair its digestibiIity or nour-
ishing property and it does not
cause ricketts, and scurvy in
children. This has often been
shown by competent sanitarians
and food experts.
The Health Officer of the Dis
trict of Columbia will give you
the sanitary rating of your
local milk supply at any time
you should apply for il.

The Economic Situation in Germany.

The Economic Situation in Germany.
BY the spring of 1916. butter and
meat had become extremely scarce in
Berlin. My wife had remained in
America, where she had accompanied
me in the summer of 1915, and during
her absence l dlned at hotels and res
taurants where the food was still
rather good. In June, 1916, left for
America again and just as l was leav-
ing meat cards were issued for the
first time.
/ returned to Berlin with my family
in October, 1916. Conditions had
changed considerably for the worse
during the summer. ! found that
every one who had the money had
bought up every available pound of
food and soap which had not already
been Communicated by the govern
ment. Butter. potatoes, eggs, milk
-four, sugar, soap, bread and meat and
dry groceries We're all ratfened and it
was now no longer necessary for wom-
en- to stand in line In front of the
shops, sometimes all night, to await
the morning opening.
Shopping by the card system was
very complicated and the quantities
permitted by the ration cards so small
that well-balanced meal was an i'm
possibility. To dine in restaurant it
was necessary to take whole pocket
full Of cards and make careful analy-
sis Of them before ordering the mea-
ger meal which the law allowed.

1t was, the tailor frankly admitted
that the goods was made of re-worked
yarn, and because of the lack of cotton
thread, the seams were worked with n
material which looked like paper
string.
This paper string was in general use
at that time, the department stores all
displaying notices warning customers
not to carry their parcels by the string.
Many purchases were no longer
wrapped, to save paper, and no pur-
chase amounting to less than IS was
delivered.
Before left Berlin, artificial silk
was the principal fabric obtainable for
ladies' wearing apparel. Almost every
woman in the land, princess or maid,
was attired in art tnffeta. 1t sold for
$40 yard. In normal times It would
have been worth from rs cents to 81.
In the fall of 1917. cloth suit was I'M
obtainable for less than $500. 1t would
have been worth $25 in normal times.
All fur skins were needed for SOL
diers' wear and the few that were still
Obtainable for home use in the form
of fur sets sold for 81 900 up.
Through spectators, we obtained
some imitation soft soap at 81 per

human corpses, but it was the only
thing available outside of the substi-
tutes which were soap only In name. A

three persons. for which / paid $25.
One of the things the people missed
most, of course, was their beer. While
1t was put on sale at .. IN. every
night, only limited amount was avail
able and as soon as II was disposed
of, only coffee or tea substitute. with
out sugar, milk or lemons, could be
had.
The scarcity of metals required 70.
munitions was evidenced early in the
war when the interiors and exteriors
of houses throughout the country were
thoroughly ransacked and everything
in the way of copper. brass or alu-
minum fixtures or cooking utensils that
wasn't absolutely necessary was
seized.
Horses were gradually disappearing
from sight when left early this year
One saw them lying about the streets
where they dropped from exhaustion,
and what disposition was made of their
corpses can well be imagined 1t is
quite certain that no part was wasted
Dogs, too, nearly vanished from city
life. A man know, who had kept a
fine Newfoundland dog, told me that 1t
had disappeared one night and the
next day Its skin was found hanging
on the fence with sign reading
