MENDING OF SEVERED NERVES IS LATEST
WONDER OF SURGICAL WORK OF u, S. ARMY

functions present Just one answer:
The affected parts of the nerve must
be removed; the ends, at points near
est to the place of parting, must be
brought to join. Joining nerves to
make the ends grow, each to each, be-
comes, then. a task to try the patience
of doctor and patient, indeed
Just as an example" the doctor
stated, "a day or so since we had a
case where two inches of the great
sciatic had been destroyed. This in
jury was the result of the explosion
of a high-explosive shell, resulting.
very obviously, in terrible tearing
of the tissues, as well as cutting the
nerve.
"By and by the time came to remove
the scar tissue allowed to form from
the wound here.
Bringing the Nerves Together
Then, in order to go on with the
case, we found we must fex the mans
leg as though it were bent. That done,
to bring the nerves to join. he will
have to stay in that most trying posi-
ton a full two months, and very likely
more. If the wound heals without much
trouble in that time we will then gra-
dually stretch the leg to get it straight
and normal. That TOO, will take more
time still: but rest assuerd that when
we are through the soldier boy will
be every much as ne was before the
war"
Oueerly enough, in almost all cases
where a mans nerve is shattered, he
is not nervous in our popular sense.
This. very obviously, is in the sur
geon's favor, for even without irrita-
bility on the part Of the subject he is
ap to have trouble enow. Even the

COURT VERDICT
OPENS Way IN
n. C. |. FIGHT
Ohio Has Remedy for Dealing
With Violators Of Food
Harding Law.

COLUMBUS, O., Aug. 29.-Through
the decision handed down by the Ohio
Supreme Court Thursday the state has
q convenient remedy for dealing with
food hoarders in provisions of the
Smith cold storage act.
The Court affirmed the Franklin
County Common Pleas and Appellate
Courts in the Columbus Packing COM
pany case, making possible the placing
on the market Of 10000 pounds of
confiscated pork loins and furnishing
the means Of action upon millions Of
pounds of beef, pork and poultry found
to have been stored longer than the
law allows.
Both by direct statement and by i'm
plfcation the court lays down propo-
sitions Of law which are said to BIO al
most revolutionary in the light Of past
decisions.
Extension Of Rule Sought
The first of these is the fact If the
motives in food cases may be judged
by conduct, as they may be judged in
case Of other infractions of the law.
Extension of this principal to the
criminal side, as has been advocated
by the Prosecuting Attorney Of Frank
lin county, Hugo N. Schlessinger the
victor in today judgment, would
give real effect" to antitrust laws.
Secondary in importance is the pro-
position that the violation of the cold
storage act in itself constitutes con-
spiracy in restraint of trade sternly
condemned by the Valentine antitrust
act. By this rule is opened to the
General Assembly an avenue Of power
to prevent boarding in articles than
meats.

GIRLS DRESS WAS
CENSURED so YEARS
AGO, JUST AS NOW
montgomery Advertiser)

A London correspondent discovers
a rollicking satire upon those Of us
who gravely shake our heads as we
contemplate the manners and dress OF
many young folk of the day. The cor
respondent finds that in the Saturday
Review of fifty years ago the follow
ing article was printed:
THE girl of the period is a creature
who dyes her hair and paints her face
as the first articles of her personal re-
ligion--a creature whose sole idea of
life Is fun, and who sole aim is un-
bounded luxury, and whose dress Is
the chief object of such thought and
intellect as she possesses. Her main
endeavor is to OutliTe her neigh bors in
the extravaganza of fashion. If a SEN
sible fashion lifts the gown out of the
mud she raises her.
"All men whose opinion Is worth
having prefer the simple and genuine
girl Of the past, with her tender little
ways and pretty bashful modesties
to this loud and rampant moderniZa
ton. with her false red hair and paint
ed skin, talking slang as glibly as a
man, and by preference leading the
conversation to- doubtful subjects s.
All we can do is wait patiently
until the national madness has passed
out am women have come back again
to the old English idea"
Were Headstrone, Too
Not few modern writer's and pri-
vate takers have said things to the
same effect. We hear it very day and
hearing It we may accept it as a
scathing Indictment of the new girl,
just as our forbears accepted the fore
going article as a just Indictment of
the girls of a half century ago.
Headstrong, forward and disobedi-
ent young people were known long
before the time of the Reviews edi-
torial. Readers Of the Last Days of
Pompeii," may recall the lamentation
of a chief character that young people
of his time were not as reverent and
respectful in the presence of their ell
ders as they had been in a former
generation. Neither were they as re-
ligious.
The Apostle Paul, in writing his e.
pistolary messages, thought it peril
nent and timely to remind women not
to be too forward in church. AS it
appeared to n, it was necessary fOI
him, as an authority, to repress wo
men, warning them specifically against
bobbing their hair.
1t seems that the race has always
stopped to ask now and then. what
has become of the old-fashiOned girl?'

Hospitals Without Food.

Many Of the hospitals were without
food, medicines or linen. Patients
were brought into live or die. as fate
might dictate. In one institution one
of our doctors observed patient
gnawing an ear of dried corn. 1t was
the only food in the place. Through
out the country there were serious
outbreaks of smallpox. typhus and
pellagra. OF every 100 infants that
came into the world. more than nifty
died. In many places the death rate
ran as high as so in 100.
To-day this is changed. The poor
are eating bread made from American
flour. The babies are getting Ameri-
can condensed milk. The sick are be-
ing cared for. Every destitute person
in the country knows that when he is
hungry he can come to one OF the
many Red Cross canteens and get a
full meal. Hundreds of thousands OF
articles of clothing have been dis
tributed. The hospitals have been
helped Orphanages have been estab-
lished. Dispensaries where the poor
NAV receive treatment have been
opened. The spread of typhus and
smallpox is being checked. Sewing
rooms have been opened to give en-
ployment to the great number OF
