Once across No Mans Land the

EPIDEMIC AT CAMP
RAPIDLY IMPROVING

While the quarantine at Southar
r led will be maintained for some
tnne, as far as the city of Americas
is concerned, Major Wash, post com
. andaEt, announced today that the
epidemic of tonsilltis and colds, which
was the cause of the quarantine, was
being stamped out. The total cases
in the hospital today was 81 men and
5 officers, Majo Wash stated. of
these cases only one had been dia
nosed as influenza. Twenty men Were
discharged from the hospital today
and only three received.
Major Wash stated that, inasmuch
as the influenza epidemic had been
apparently stamped out in the city of
Americas, he had issued an order that

AS the case would undoubtedly have

today that a commitment trial would
now be held, and that the case would
be laid directly before the grand jury

Patch Skull With Patients Own Rib.

The replacing of destroyed portions
of skull with layers of cartilage taken
from the patients own ribs is one
of the latest methods of healing war
injuries. H. Warren Woodroffe, sur
geon of the Ulster Volunteer hospital
In France, describes the method which
has been successfully tried on num-
Der of severely wounded men.
Cutting down to the ribs parallel to
the breast bone, the surgeon slices off
thin layers Of the cartilage which at
taches the bony ribs to the breast
bone. These are held in the gap
caused by the destruction of the skull
after the scalp has been turned back.
The scalp is then stitched back in place.
Within few weeks, instead of having
no protection to the underlying brain,
hard layer Of cartilage, firm though
slightly elastic, is Srmed.
