FRANK OPPMAN, WAR
VETERAN

Frank A. Oppman of Wausau, dis.
abled ex-soldier, is shining example
or what grit and determination, plus
government aid In rehabilitation, can
do for those who offered their all
Tor their country, and came back
broken In body and physically unfit
to wage life's battles.
In July, 1917, he enlisted and was
assigned to Company A, 127th Infan-
try. With his outfit he went over
seas and took part In many Of the
DIG engagements until September LIST
when during the fighting at Scissors
he was gassed and struck In the left
hip by machine gun bullet. Opp
man was returned TO this country as
casual and In April, 1919, received
his discharge.
Previous to his entry into the army
Oppman had been farming. But his
disability made 1t impossible for him
10 return to this work. Meanwhile,
he heard Of the training being given
to disabled men by the government
and he applied for same. This vas
granted and in June 1921, he .e-
gan a course in auto mechanics at
the Thon, Turner and Lanigan gar
age. On July /, 1922, having com
pleted his course, he was Immediately
employed by the same garage. He Is
working there now and he is making
good.
Mr.. Oppman's case is only one OF
many handled by the u. s. Veterans
Bureau offices at III North Canal
street, Chicago, Illinois. But IL is the
best possible answer to the question
What Is the government doing for
the disabled manT In letter re-
Gently addressed to the Chicago Of
flee of the bureau, Mr.. Oppman says:
II am perfectly satisfied with the
training received from my Uncle
Sam; he has treated me fine since my
discharge from the army. If he treats
all Of my buddies as well. am sure
they will have no kick coming"

the balance of the globe. The dean

loosen the leaves after washing.
Shake out each handful of spinach
as It is cleaned, but do not drain.
Put in a kettle with a tight fitting
cover and cook half an hour
Spinach cooked this way without
any water except what clings to the
leaves is always a dark rich green
and Very tender All the juices OF
the vegetable are preserved and not
cooked out into lot Of water that
must be drained off.
When the spinach is tender remove
the cover and cook down the juice, if
there is any. or drain through a wire
sieve. Season with salt, pepper and
butter and chop.
Reheat and serve in hot vegetable
dish. If the family will eat it this
