plant en- the lips cf at least a score

Congress is in session. The Presi-
dent, in the exercise Of his constitu-
tional duties, has recommended it
to repeal Or modify the wartime
prohibition act in its application TO
wine and beer. The Republicans,
who control Congress, are reported
to be afraid 70 act upon his advice.
No question CT right or wrong IS
involved in their minds, but only the
question of partisan advantage. So
instead of repeating or refusing to
repeal the wartime prohibition act,
they propose to confer upon the
President the authority to settle the
fate of vine and beer by Executive
order.
More power to the a%utocrat: But

EMULATION

In an Indiana city, not Ion gage,
a woman evangelist held a revival
meeting. She took no collections
while the services were in progress,
but on the final night she announ-
ced that a free-will offering would
be in order. Interest in the meet
ing had been growing and the church
was crowded to capacity, The ush-
ers, with contribution plates, started
en- their rounds. The evangelist
said she had instructed them to say,
".Amen" whenever 25 cents was drop
ped into the plate; when 80 cents the
usher was to say, "Hallelujah," and
when 81 the usher was to say, eGlory
H~allelujah.," in a loud tone. The
collection amounted to S1100.
The Indianapolis News in record
ing this incident says eff there had
been emulation the total might
have been small, but the evangelist
knew that no person with money to
give would be content with a
amen when a neighbor, sitting in
the next pew, was acclaimed with a

Alexandrians, members of the Alex

city for France after the United
States declared war on Germany.
It had been announced, and was gen
orally believed, that anxious rela-

their breasts before the hour of mid
night. It had also been stated that
while the train would be rushing
north the whistles would sound to
announce that the space between
the Alexandrians and their home city
was being lessened all the time and

with the other allies in defeating
them were about to return to the
city of their birth.
But a cruel disappointment was
acut to be cast upon the anxious
ones. The whistles sounded amid

Freddie Welsh. Every sport lover in
the United States knows the famous
pugilist. He has left the ordinary
ring to take up the traordinary
duty of assisting in the work of phys
ically fitting Uncle Sans hysically
impa ired fighters for the duties of
civil life.
Lieut. Thomas has now class of
at least 500 boys at Walter Reed Hos
pital. He puts them through daily
stunts at the gymnasium recently fit
ted up for that purpose. The authori
ties have made physical training
compulsory. 1t is one of the most
important courses in the regular
treatment of the patients. Without
it. the officials contend. all other Ell
forts to make producers out of men
who have been shorn of limbs would
count for little.
Says His Heart Is in the Work.
OF course, Freddie Welsh could
make a good deal more than a lieu
te'.antS pay were he to go on the
road. But he declared that his heart
is in the work of restoring the boys
to health hope and happiness He
would much rather do that work. he
said. than take post which would
pay him ten times the salary, but
would not offer such opportunities
for useful service.
The different Srada tions send the
boys from their cots to the place
where they receive electro-therapy
trea tment. thence to the gymna SUM.
where they are put through all the
equipped with natures supply of arms
and legs. Already. the ex-pugilist
sa id. the boys are showing the effects
of their training. One-leggsd men do
trapeze work with marvellous skill
and one-armed soldiers box with

What Gymnasium Does.

I'm the gymnasium We are simply
showing a man with a stout heart and
strong faith in himself what he is able
to do. A fellow may be ruined for
life by being encouraged to- believe
when he has lost an arm or leg that
1t is all over with him. The worst
possible thing that well meaning peo-
pie can do is to tell the lads that they
are so unfortunate and that they are
such poor fellows. That gets them
into the notion that they are all in.
This is terribly depressing and hope
less mental condition.
What We are trying to do is to
show the fellows that they are very
far from being all in. We tell them
and show them that their future is in
their own hands. They are still men
with strong bodies and stout hearts.
1t would be :: crime to let them leave
the hospital with feeling that they
are to be objects of pity Tor the bal
ance of their lives"

Improved Health Results.

All the while their muscles are re-
ceiving additional strength and their
general health undergoes improve
ment They soon become convinced
that it is not necessary for them to
go through life sadly conscious of the
fact that they are Handicapped and
unified for the battle when they are
contendine with physically whole
men. Some OF them. their trainer said,
have actually forgotten that they
have lost limbs and are in that state
of confidence in their ability to make
one leg do the work of any ordinary
two that they completely ignore their
limitations.
1T is just common sense applied 20
an extraordinary physical circum
stance" said Lieut.. Thomas. The
best thing that this gymnasium work
does for the boys is to give them con-
fidence in their own strength and TO
inspire them with hope for she future.
Naturally after afelIow aHakens in
hospital and finds tina t he has lost a
leg OF an arm he feels in a hopeless
mood.
He thinks he is so handicapped
that it will be impossible for him ever
to compete with the men who have all
slows. Then he pictures himself SELL
ing lead pencils or engaged in some
occupation which physically whole
man would despise. 1t requires a
good deal of tactful training to get
fellow out Of this mood and to induce
him to see that with one leg or one
arm, plus what art and science can do.
he will be able to hold his own in the
world
