LIGHT FARMING CURES
SHELL SHOCK VICTIMS
ConvaIescents Gain Health and
Strength by TiIIing the Soil
in Hospital Grounds.

The Base Hospitals Of Europe,
where American boys as well as the
boys of our allies are recuperating,
have decided that the men who are
yet unable to fight, or to 60 back to
their places In the ranks, may gain
health and strength while filling the
soil, and incidentally may add many
tons of vegetables to the necessary
food supplies.
Ten expert market gardeners from
this country hav" been sent to France
to direct the work. as 1t has been found
that this farm labor Is one of the best
restoratives Of health, and also that
there is no better work for those suf-
fering from shell shock than this out
of-doors activity. Many soldiers who
have worked at the farms announce
that they intend to buy farms and con-
tinue on their return from France.
In addition to the helpful exercise
the tables are helped, and in one hos
pital there has been green corn on the
cob served as result OF the soldier
farming. Green corn Is not common
In France, but it certainly pleased the
men who were fortunate enough to get
some Of II. And the American boys
well, just imagine an American seeing
green corn on the cob when he didn't
expect there was such delicacy near
er than the old U. s. A.!
More than two tons of vegetables
were grown at Base Hospital No. in
less than three months. Peas, pota-
toes, beans, radishes, lettuce and corn,
and the soldiers declare that there is
nothing like the taste Of these Ameri-
can vegetables grown in the gardens Of
the hospitals.

Birds Speak a LANGUAGE.

The birds and animals do not use
n great many words or sounds, but
they can certainly understand each
other, writes George #. Burba in the
Columbus Dispatch. That is, they are
able to converse with each other to
some extent. There isn't any doubt
about 1t. They have their alarms of
danger; they have their distress calls;
they have their softer tones of affcc-
ton.
