of additional war savings societies in

dozen Of Uncle Sans camps wherein
wounded soldiers are convalescing. Or,
It may be that the prescription IS
something like this: BOY. your knee

You play arch ball for an hour today

tiers in Chicago, is receiving word al

treating wounded men in government

ercise Of joints, fingers, wrists, legs or

diers. They not only are throwing OF
their ailments but are taking on cheer
fitness and new interest In life, he
declares. The treatment is 'new'' in
that medical men examine each case

games requiring exercise Of muscles or
joints Is done save under the direct SUI
pervision Of q medical officer, Doctor
Kallenberg asserts.
Helping Government.

plication Of our theory that the playing
Of certain games mend certain all
ments is being demonstrated with sue
cess at various camps in the plain re-
construction Of the physical man. We
do not under-rate massage, hydro
therapy, electrotherapy or manual
therapy, but we are finding that speci-
fed exercise in play works wonders in
loosening joints and brings the man to
q normal state"
treatment Of 'play-therapy" is being
used successfully upon hundreds of
wounded soldiers, sailors and marines:
Taylor, Dodge, Great Lakes, Fort

made now to establish the treatment
