Paris, Nov. 24.—The French gov- crnment recently gave facilities to The Associated Press and a party of foreign journalists to inspect some of the remarkable work which is being done for the regeneration of the ranks of stricken, crippled, maimed, and apparently hopeless wounded who | are borne back from the fighting line { at Champagne. Under the escort of Erench officers, the party was taken to St. Maurice, a ! short distance outside Paris, | wounded are brought after the _pm sical cares of surgery have been given, ito be nursed into convalescence, di- verted from the loss of limbs, gradually educated into some new line which recreates them into useful members of society.

The photographs wounded had of them being X-ray plates. “See this one, said the officer, nolding up a large glass plate show- ing the side-profile of a wounded poldier, with a gaping bullet hole back of the ear and around the hole little sutures or cracks of the skull. Not Fractured Skull. “It is not a fractured skull—that would be hopeless,” said the officer. “No, that man can be made over.” But this recciving ward was merely the first stage in a sort of ascending scale, which improved the wounded s cendition at each stage until he was finally landeq in the school where he was made over into a con- cition more useful to himself and society than he was hefore. It was to this school that chief interest was directed. Hive of Work Shops. This enormous school at St. Maurice is a hive of work shops of all kinds— shoemaking shops, machine shops, avto repair shops, blacksmith shops with blazing forges and clothes-mak- ing shops and the workmen were the wounded soldiers from the firing line, minus an arm, leg or eye on which they had before depended, but now launched on a new line which did not need that arm, leg or eye. As a whole it was as efficient a body of workmen as one would find in any well-regulated factory. The men had smiling faces: those working in &roups were chatting and laughing. Attention was also given to the fine arts and the professions, and here also were schools for sculpture and paint- ing and architecture, so that legless or armless or eyeless soldiers, who had a taste for the aesthetic, could be led into some new line, which did not require the use of the lost member. One \pale-faced young soldier, his left hand gone near the clbow, was del cately modeling a Venus of Milo wita his remaining hand Architects and Typwriting. The soldier architects were making designs, -with blue-prints arches and columns, and calculating the strength of walls and roofs. All of these men had something missing, but their work was so chosen as.to make absolutely negligible the lost member and to make what remained of their members entirely efficient for this particular work. Near the soldier ar- chnitects were arranged two long lines of soldier typewriters, men who had lost a foot or some other member, but whose hands had now been taught a skill they had not known before in rapid typewriting. ; In the shoe shop the men were turning out a good grade of shoes, selling for twenty-three francs (about $4.60); also wallets and purses of all kinds, leather watch chains and belts. A large glass case exhibited the di- versity of their product. It was the same in the machine shop, the black- smith shop and all the other branches of this hive of industrp. Handless Carpenter. “One soldier with both hands gone,” sald the officer, “is making eighteen francs a day as a carpenter.” He explained that special tools had been made for this handless carpen- ter, fitting on to the steel hooks on his arm-stumps. The plans, for in- stance, automatically permitted the carpenter to do his work with preci- sion, a bell ringing if pressure was too great to the right, another bell if pressure was too great on the left, and other bells of forward and rear pres- sure. So that the 'handless soldier car- penter learned his trade automatically bells warning him of each false move until he had become expert. The St- Maurice institution and school which is thus making soldiers over for a new and useful occupation has a capacity of 300 mezn, who have their wounds dressed so far as re- mains necessary, are housed and fed, and at the some time carry on these extensive shops which turn out use- ful preducts of all kinds, and what is more turn out useful men skilled in the arts, architecture, mechanical arts and the many branches of manufac- ture. of the 200 of girders, SCOTCH EAGLES INCREASPE.

SWITZERLAND PLAYS ROLE OF SAMARITAN Extends Helping Halil to Sullerers of European War (Correspondence of the Asso. Press.) Berne, Switzerland, Nov. 30 Switzerland, on all by warring nations, obliged hersel? to arm against possible violations of her territory, forced into an econo- mic neutrality in which she is scarce- 1y able to suit anybody while suffer- ing a great deal of harm herself, finds only one role that pleased ev- eryone—that of the ““Good Samari- tan of Europe,” relieving the suffer- ings her neighbors are causing to cach other’s subjects. The burden of maintaing communication he- tween several million prisoners of war and their kindred fell upon the Red Cross committee of Geneva. Swit- surrounded sides zerland also rushed to the frontiers loaded with refreshments and com- forts for refugees and mutilated sol- diers, returning home through her neutral territory. What this has cost Switzerland in money cannot be reck- oned. What 'it has lost commercially and financially in other directions 1t is difficult to estimate beyond the millions that her mobilization has cost her. The Swiss people are particularly sensitive over the suspicions they have been exposed to by reason of their geographical position. The var- ied character of the population and the resulting division of sympathies in the conflict. There has undoubted- ly been some contraband but no mora than there would have been in any other country where private gain is tempted by high paid risks. A great deal of contraband has bheen prevent- of commercial treat- unable to pr the transportation territory of enormous merchandise that Italy sent to Ger- many in exchange for coal before declared war on Austria. The in- spection of that merchandise to de- tect contraband of war was a for- midable task. Replies to France. Regarding suspicions in France that importations from that country into Switzerland went to supply the Ger- mans the Swiss people point out that these importations for the first quar- ter of 1915 were 60 million francs less than for the first quarter of 1914. At the same time they complain of the stoppage by France of goods from across the Atlantic that were indii- pensable for the provisioning of th: population and for the operation of their industries.

Your hair is your charm. It makes or mars the face. ‘When it fades, turns gray, streaked and looks dry, wispy and scraggy, just an application or two of Sage and Sul- phur enhances its appearance a hun- dredfold. Don’t bother to prepare the tonic; you can get from any drug store a 50-cent bottle of “Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound,” ready to use. This can always be depended upon to bring back the natural color, thick- ness and lustre of your hair and re- move dandruff, stop scalp itching and falling hair. Everybody uses “Wyeth's" Sage and Sulphur because it darkens so natu- rally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply dampen a sponge or sofe brush with it and draw this through the hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning the gray hair has dis- appeared, and after another applica- tion it becomes beautifully dark and appears glossy, lustrous and abun- dant. ince Rheuma has been sold | T was a crutches’-- | | 2 ESTABLISHED 1886 & GLOBE CLOTHING HOUSE EXCELLENT VALUES IN HART, SCHAFFNER & MARX Overcoats $15.00 and Up Men’s Underwear, direct from the best mills, 50c up.

You know, and every physician knows, that when any sickness has passed, whether it be throat trouble, organic disturbances, contagious d eases, or even a severe cold, a relapse is feared, because sickness robs the system of Nature's resistance g nd leaves it subject to lingering germs. Drugs never build up a worn-out body—only food can do that, and the first thing to take after any sickness is the concentrated, blood-making oil- food in Scott’s Emulsion, which feeds the tissues, benefits the blood and strengthens both lungs and throt. Physicians prescribe Scott’s Emul sionaftersickness. Nurseseverywherg advocateit. Scott’s is pure medicinal food, without alcohol or drugs. Scott & Bowae, Bloomfield, N. J.
