WHERE THE
 SOLDIERS ARE RETAINED

Some rnisapprehension exists about the retraining given war disabled men, there being a prevalent idea: that this is done in the "reconstruc- ton hospitals"
 The reconstruction hospitals are maintained by the medical depart nent of the army, when men who have suffered injuries necessitating long course of treatment, are given that treatment which will eventually bring them back to health and strength.
 In these reconstruction hospitals sometimes the men are given such work as basketry, weaving and the like. These occupations are often alluded to by disabled soldiers with disgust and scorn, because they have the mistaken notion that the disable q men are being taught these things as a means of livelihood, when such $ not the case at all. If a man has a set of stifened fingers, basketry $ an ideal exercise to bring back into function those disused muscles; and the. same with weaving and many other activities which apparently have no commercial value whatever
