FLOWERS HELP SOLDIERS TO RECOVER.

A Detroit wounded soldier, whose leg was
in a cast, suspended higher than his head,
asked Michigan woman who visited him for
a red rose and when it was delivered he de.
manded TO have the slender glass vase in
which it was placed strapped to his leg that
he might see the flower all the time.
Thus forcby was it brought home to work
ers at Michigan Military bureau headquarters
that flowers lowered patients temperature
smoothed out the creases between the eyes
and hastened recovery.
To all wounded soldiers, says Dr. Arthur
NJ Hume, director of the Michigan bureau
flowers have a deep significance. One needs
only TO watch the expressions on their faces

imagine the emotions that stammering lips
