Jaw Shot OFF, Can
Eat Again Soon
(By international News serviee.)

(By international News Serviee.)
CINCINNATI, Ohio, Sept. ga
thew face ia constant reminder
that Sergeant Russell s. Rankin, Gin
cinnati's first hero Of the recent
World War, experienced the horrors
Of the terrible conflict.
II was fighting near Scissors In the
great AisnesMarne drive that d stream
of machine gun bullets tore hole IN
Rankin's right shoulder, nearly tear
ing the arm off. Some of the enc
my's bullets cut his neck, narrowly
missing the jugular vein, ripped out
seventeen teeth and cut off his lower
jaw and half Of his tongue. Another
stream Of bullets went through his
left hand.
He received first aid Only after
walking back three and half miles.
Nearly dying from thirst and loss Of
blood, Rankin could not swallow food
nor drink for five days. After being
fed fluids through his nose, he mirac-
ulouslysreeoverod.
The remains Of his shattered jaw
were sewed back in place, pieces Of
bone were removed from his leg and
transplanted in his jaw, strips Of skin
and flesh we're cut off his chest, turn
ed up and, without being completely
severed from bis chest, were grown
onto the lower part Of his face,
forming new jaw.
Rankin's "new face" ha sheen more
than year in the making. DR.. Will
liam r. Coughlin, st. Johns Hospital,
st. Louis, did the work.
Spending over two years in hospi-
tails in France, New York and St.
Louis, Rankin underwent twenty-five
important operations, in addition to
much dental work. DR.. Coughlin is
yet to perform three major opera
tions on Rankin, who expects to re-
turn to st. Louis after visiting his
mother at Cynthia, Ky.
II have not chcwed a bite Of food
for more tina ntwo years living on
fluids, but DIR. Coughlin is going to
implant more bone in my jaw, adj
just set Of false teeth, and then I
will be able to bite into a beefsteak
once more,' said Rankin. "That will
be grand!'

FLORIDA'S FAITH.

states OF Florida and Alabama made Wednesday,
when the Escambia County Good Roads club through

ton of West Florida to open up this territory by
building bridge across the Escambia river and a
permanent highway bewteen Escambia and Perddo

the three year term as commI Issioner
has been a prominent and substantial
citizen of Tallahassee for many years,
but has never before held any official
position in the city government. Mr..

has made a most enviable record in
the position It is due in large part
10 his untiring efforts that the new
charter and consequent change in form
of government have been adopted by
the citizens of Tallahassee and his cleo
ton by so flatter.ng vote IS de-
served recognition of his splendid
services in the interests OF the city.

CONSTRUCTIVE PERIOD
Is HERE

In ten years our country has not
seen much development OF large In
dustries. few new smelters or paper
mills and almost no new railroads
or public utilities were built. ~
There has been over development
Of yellow politics. over-abundance Of
reforms and agitations against capt.
tai and corporations and over organ
ization Of reds and radicals.
The war came providentially in
time to check the hegira of hysterla
and the revival Of more sturdy self
reliant Americanism is today our
greatest national asset.
It has been a cold day when there
was not some low brow or highbrow
convention OF reformers in session
making socialistic speeches and
adopting long resolutions attacking
business.
1t is wonderful that our country
has come through this long crusade
Of stress and storm, sound In mind
