CHASING, THE CURE
 4 YEAR WITH THE
 MAN ON THE BUNK"
From Fridays DaIly1 By NAUGHTON FARRALL

I Dakota. He had answered the call Ifo war with the same feeling tha.
 many of his brothers-in-aFms had ex-
 perienced; that is, a beating heart
 and desire to take a whack at the
 enemy. He had left the farm and
 after a few months in a training Eeamp where the use of bayonet
 and the manual of arms were made
 familiar to him, he departed for
 France aboard transport crowded
 to the top-deck with others of his
 elan.
 After several months of intense
 duty he returned home very much
 the hero for having gone through
 his share of the fight for a worldly
 peace; but after a short time during
 which he endeavored to resume the
 tasks of civilian life, he found that somewhere something was wrong. A trip to the nearest doctor convinced
 him that dose of gas received in a fierce barrage one morning east of
 Chateau- Thierry had come back on him in the form of a hacking cough. The doctor advised him to seek out ! the public health doctor in the near est big city, and after thorough ex- animation he was furnished with transportation to Whipple Barracks with the parting words of mot to
 worry and to get as much rest as he could"
 E He arrived after an uneventful trip west broken only by the thought of
 such wonderful scenery being un-
 covered as the train sped on it's way westward. Arriving at Prescott he was met by the post ambulance and his bag and trunk being taken into the care of the driver, he was whisk- led away to the hospital, where he was deposited at the administrator building and conducted to the reg istrar's office. Here he went through Ia preliminary verbal examination, and on being finished was told to grab his bag and was led through long corridor, then out in the air again across the street to the receiving ward
 The nurse on duty there took him in charge, assigned him to a bed, gave him pair of pajamas, bath towel, also two hand towels. He was told that he would eat on a tray for a few days until his first examina- ton took place. He was given a steel locker in which to place his things, and after having done SO he retired to the wash-room for a thor ough cleaning after his dusty trip. Returning upstairs, he found the doctor waiting 10 see him, and he immediately proceeded to his office, where after few more questions he was informed that his examination would take place in the morning.
 Once again he returned to his bed, and as it was nearly supper time, the orderly brought him his tray and to his amazement he found that it included everything that he would have ordered had he gone into a res taurant - meat, potatoes, toast, eof- fee, butter, and salad, also some pie for dessert After eating for several meals on the train he more than rel ished the supper, and found some of the fellows going back for more.
 After supper he went for a walk. and finally strolIed into the Red Cross hut, where q movie was in progress. He enjoyed the show iIn- nensely and left for his ward with a determination to come again the next night. At 9 o'clock the lights went put, but the night nurse found him sound asleep ill his bed when she made her nightly rounds.
 Morning came all too soon, for he vas tired after his trip After an en- oyable breakfast, he returned to his 'ed for his first rest hour, from 9 lntif II. At 11:l0 he was called for lis examination, and with a rapidly eating heart he knocked OH the door ,f tIis doctors office. He found two loetors present, also stenogrsphsr They asked him questions that took i'm back over his years prior to his nlistment and all through up to the resent day. He was then told to trip to the waist. He complied with larcity, then the doctors started tc rorl on him. He coughed, said one. wo, three ninety-nil1e; did it again. ouglled some more, logged up and own while they felt his heart, and 'as then told to dress and return to is bed.
 After several days he was trans .rred to another ward, where he .arted taking sun treatments, under le supervision of a doctor trained l the work. He had also made the 1unds of all the specialists; that is ) say, he had each of the following Eamined; Eyes, ears, nose, throat. he surgical doctor looked him over, le dentist paved over his teeth, and le result was that he had enough ap- oiptments on his list to keep him 1sy for several weeks. And at the Id of year lle returned to his 'rmer home ready and as fit as hen he went away to war.
