WHERE WOUNDED MEN
 YIELD TO DAY DREAMS
Restored to Health and Ngor |, Red Cross ConvaleScont
 Homes.

The surgeon has extracted the in partially distributed bits of shrapnei from your works. The wounds have healed. The wheels go round again and the clock ticks.
 But 1t doesn't keep correct time
 This business of calling Time r' .. the Roche means so many broken clockl nowadays that the master-menders can't keep them on their tables aftea they're mended. Sc the question whers they shall sit around while they'rs ho. ing regulated looms larHe.
 The Red Cross answers that oues- ton with its convalescent hcmeA It has six of these in operation. A suit. nated-and management and eQuiD- ment are provided by the Red Croa while the Army has furnished disci- pline and never-failing supply of csn- yalcscents.
 These homes mean that men whe are scarcely hospital subjects. yet whs can by no means go back to their du- ties, have place that does what home does for the French or Eng fish soldier, what home" does fer any one, In fact, when the doctor gsts through.
 , You know. He says You're sli right now. It's only a matter of nurv- ing and food"
 But you know he's only looking at the works he's tinkered. and that the soul within you Is grousing as 1t never did when the body was down and out. It wants something and It doesn't know what it is But if It doesn't gst 1t pretty quick the works are going ts get gummed again. You know your mother could find out what that dog gone thing Is right away and hand 1t to you on a plate. But General Per shing won't let you 20 to her And the War Department won't let her come to you
 Then you're taken to Red Cross convalescent home-and there Is the very thing you wanted But yos couldn't describe 1t even then to save your life.
 It is bit of coddling, and pretty surroundings, and women's faces and light laughter and time to play and all that sort of thing It is forgetting the crash of war and remembering that there are pleasant, soft voices. It's even such things as gaily-flowered sofa pillows to jam into corner and make . nice lolling place while you read and smoke and ak.

THE RED CROSS GORDON.

An American Red Cross worker whs was among those volunteering to help in the hospitals and at the station where the hospital trains arrived. over heard some of the wounded talking about the American Red Cross
 Gee Wed starved if 1t hadn't been for the Red Cross r said one boy, and then. laughing at his own exagger- aIon, he went on to explain the cir cumstances under which the Red Cross representative with his division had done some timely service. The Ger mans, of course. were to blame. for they retreated so rapidly that fl was practically impossible for the supplies to keep up with the pursuing Ameri- cans.
 We cleaned up seven kilometerx in less than two hours" another reclining figure explained, and they were still going when l was knocked out. For three days l had had nothing to eat but hard tack, and for some days be- fore the food had been monotonous- to put 1t mildly. So you can imagine what it meant to us boys to have the Red Cross Gordon come up with a sup ply of chocolate, canned peaches and other good things. It was life-saver. !"

NO SEALS SOLD THIS YEAR.

The customary sale of Red Cross Christmas seals will not be held this year. It seemed best to both the American Red Cross and the National Tuberculosis Association to unite h the Red Cross Christmas Roll Call ts reduce the number of appeals to tAs public for contributions. There win Dc no lessening of activities by the National Tuberculosis Associati tion through this arrangement, as the Red Cross War Council has appropriated S2, 500 900 for anti-tubsrculesis voeA in 1919 in lieu of the money that ordi- narily would be raised by Christmas Seal Campaign. However, every per son Joining the Red Cross during the Red Cross Christmas Roll Call will b. awarded ten seals to be used as here- tofore.
