 WORK IS DESCRIBED
By FRED KOCH Reconstruction Officer.

The reconstruction service $ re sponsiblc for the administration and supervision of the proper application of all curative measures, other than the actual medical and surgical treat ment, of all patients in the hospital.
 This embraces the branches of physiotherapy, such as electrotherapy, hydrotherapy, thermotherapy, mas sage and exercise; occupational the rapy, which includes manual handi- crafts and mental work for functional and diversional employment; and the amusements and recreations of the patients and other activities under the direction of the Red Cross.
 The reconstruction service co-or- dinates and identifies its work with that of the medical officer responsible for the medical and surgical treat ment of the patient, in order that the best possible morale may be estab- lished and the restoration of the patient to functional and economic usefulness may be hastened.

RED CROSS HAS 4 DEFINITE JOB
 AND II DIES II.
By HELEN M. IRWIN
Acting Chief, Medical-social serv

Acting Chief, Medical-Social Service. The work of the American Red Cross in the hospitals is perhaps more varied and of more intimate a nature than the work done by the city chapters. It can be roughly di- vided into three departments.
 That most commonly associated with it is the welfare and Home Service work. Next, the furnishing of entertainment for the patients pri- marily, although the personnel are also looked after to certain extent The third division is largely of a clerical nature, but is vastly import ant, dealing as it does with questions of compensation and insurance. This work is facilitated by the fact that the Red Cross IS the official channel between the men and the Bureau of War Rick Insurance in Washington.
 Each hospital undoubtedly has its own peculiar problems, and Whipple IS no exception to this rule. Those who are doing the work at the Bar racks feel that the problems there are different, not only because the hos pital treats tuberculosis patients en- tirely, but because the isolated loca- ton makes the problem of entertain ment and of contact with the outside world a difficult matter.
 The people of Prescott have been unusually responsive to the needs of the patients, helping the Red Cross in every possible way to furnish en- tertainment as well as giving volun- teer service as ward workers twice a week. This last is a real task, in the doing of many and varied errands for the men who are unable to attend to things for themselves.
 In the office large portion of the correspondence, aside from that with the Bureau, is of distinctly Home Service nature. Letters are written to home chapters and families for the men, family inquiries are respond ed to, and many problems settled in
 
 a way that only an organization of this kind could do. As the hospital grows, this work will undoubtedly l increase in volume and importance. 1
 Perhaps as important as any other 1 of the daily activities of the Red | Cross is the service rendered the men by attending to their banking for them. Since last August when the present staff took charge, the number of accounts started each month has steadily increased. As an economic question, this is of vital importance both to the town and the patients themselves.
 The Red Cross at Whipple is es- pecially fortunate in laying the gen erous cooperation of the command ing officer and the medical staff. this their efficiency would be greatly reduced

WHAT CONSTRUCTION OF GREATER NFHPPLE MEANS ID CITY
Hospital Day Brings Home Importance Of Inston Prescott

The nurses moved into the new quarters last November and are very comfortably situated. Each nurse has a room to herself and there are three recreation rooms. The American Red Cross has very kindly helped us in the furnishing of these rooms, such as furnishing us with Victrola with records, a piano and at Christmas time presented the nurses with very beautiful tea-set, which the house mother has made it possible to serve tea to the nurses two and three times a week. The wives of the officers were invited in to have tea with the nurses one afternoon in order that they might meet the nurses. Several small dancing parties and card par ties have been given in the recreation rooms. The. nurses have the use of the golf course, tennis courts, bowl ing alley, the gymnasium for basket bali.
 Dancing parties have been given in the gymnasium every two weeks, the officers entertaining the nurses and aides one time and the nurses and aides in turn entertaining the officers of the post.
 Horseback riding is one of the forms of recreation It is possible for nurses to obtain horses from Prescott and one may often see them with their baskets of lunches going out on picnics. It is also anticipated that transportation may be furnished whereby we may have established picnic parties in Prescotts many beauty spots.
 Each ward is under the direct su- pervision of a charge nurse, ranging from one to four staff nurses each. The day nurses are on an eight-hour schedule; owing to the shortage of nurses it has not been possible to put the night nurses on the eight hour schedule.
 The nursing service being the pri- mary service is of course the most important department of the hospital, working in cooperation with other organizations of the hospital.

DENTAL PARLOR
 AT THE POST
 VERY COMP PLETE
By L. w. SWARTZ Chief. Dental Service.

The dental clinic is the finest west of the Mississippi river, and consists or the most up-to-date equipment ob- ta;nable. There are seven chairs m the clinic, two of which are used ex- clusively for oral prophylaxis and treatment of oral pathologic -condi- tions. With these are used the most modern Weber Units. The other offices are equipped, in addition to the most modern Ritter chairs, with the latest and up-to-the-minute Ritter Units. These are electrically heated and operated, having switches which will allow the use of all collectively or separately as desired. All the furniture is mahogany finish, the cab inets being of solid mahogany with marble bases.
 The mechanical laboratory IS also most modernly equipped. The entire clinic which consists of eight operat- ing rooms and waiting-room is in white enamel, with battleship lino- leum covering the floors.
 The reason for the best and most modern equipment is that we may take care of the men to better ad- vantage. The care of the mouth and teeth is of vital importance in the care and treatment of all patients, more especially those with tuDercu- losis. Oral infections may cause general septic infection. As tubercu losis is a wasting disease it is very difficult for building-up of the in fected organs when there IS a general poisoned condition of the system. It is, therefore, very necessary that all pathologic conditions of the oral cavity be corrected in order that the patient will more easily be able to combat this disease.
 There are three dental surgeons treating on an average of 60 patients day. Complete routine examina- tions are made every two months. and no patient is admitted to the hos pital without a complete dental ex- animation.

By PETER FLANAGAN
 General, Secretary

Through the courtesy of Major Stanley, C. O., we started activities April 18th at Whipple Barracks.
 The Red Cross was kind enough to allow us desk room in their building ond assisted us in getting started.
 From the start we have visited the different wards each day, offering our personal services to the men, looked up the men drawing no compensa- ton and if they are in need of any thing we gladly supply them as we feel it is duty we owe them.
 We are cooperating with the Red Cross in every way possible. If any feature picture or entertainment is obtainable we assist in every way possible to obtain it.
 With the permission of Major Stanley we hope to give a series of picnics as soon as the weather is favorable.
 With the enlargement of the hos pital we hope to get our organization to erect a building large enough to accommodate all.
 Acquisition has been made for photographs, croquet sets, checker boards and playing cards for the patients.
 The workers include M. s. Cor coran, who is at the service of the men regardless of creed or color
  who stated yesterday, We want every fellow owning a car or who has one to make the trip to line up on Cortez street near the court house entrance. All those desiring to make the trip are asked to meet in the chamber of commerce office promptly at one o'clock"
 For the hungry man, doughnuts and coffee will be on tap at the camp. The trip will show the cit izens of this community just what activity is being experienced at Walker and will also acquaint them with the road leading thereto Much work has been done on the road by the Sheldon company.
 Those who will make the trip owning cars and willing to take others are asked to telephone 190 and others desiring to make the trip but not owning cars are also asked to notify the chamber of commerce office. This will assist Cornell in lining up parties.

WORK CURE IS
 BIG PART OF
 I 5 TREATMENT
By GERTRUDE SAMPLE
 Chief Aide. .

Occupational therapy work with the tuberculosis patients at U. S. Public Service Hospital No. SO, is a part of the cure being carried on there-a dose of medicine, as it were, prescribed by the medical officer Work of all kinds adaptable to bed patients and se-ni-ambulatory patients is being beautifully done, although it IS not the finished article, but the time occupied, that concerns the aide, because of its influence on the pa tient in taking his mind off his physical condition. The finished arti- cle may have no sale value and yet have untold therapeutic value to the patient by giving his mental processes an avenue of expression and by ex- erting the quieting Influence that work of any kind has upon a restless patient. Just the object lying at his bedside ready to be picked up and worked on at the will of the patient, even though he does not work on it thirty minutes day, gives him some thing to think about as he sees it grow He has pleasure in the work, and the accomplishment of it proves to him that he is still able to work. If the object be not perfect, it yet is the patients own handiwork and he has joy in it because he has made it. The creative instinct is great in us all. Rake knitting, bead work, light leather work and cord work have been found the most satisfactory employment for the bed patient. These crafts can be carried on while the patient rests in bed and grows well, breathing the healing air of Ari- zona. It is wonderful how many beautiful things are made 'by young men who never before thought of any kind of art or craft work.
 When the patient grows stronger he advances in his work. He makes leather camera cases, kodak books and handbags, on which he tools beautiful designs; baskets, trays and lamps of reed; on the looms he makes rugs, old-fashioned counter panes and table covers; or he carves jewel boxes, makes copper trays, etc.
 At the Reconstruction building there are two studios-one for art and one for music-where a trained art teacher gives instructions in painting and drawing and an accom- plished music teacher gives lessons on the piano and all string instru- ments.
 If a patient wishes to go on with his academic or commercial work, an aide is sent to the ward to teach him the subject he most desires. If it be stenography and typewriting, an aide is sent to teach him and a typewriter is given him on which to practice When the patient is well enough, he can come to the commercial and academic class-rooms and to the workshops. In case of joint trouble, the occupational therapy aide CO., operates with the physiotherapy aide by giving the patient work that will exercise the stiffened member
