Public Virtue.
t patriotism which, catching its
ion from on high, and leaving
immeasurable distance below
esser.groveling,personal ihter-
and feelings, animates
"life more abundant"
helplessness.
This may be an illustration of it, and how it is
threefold. Here is a boy who went overseas as
one of our defepdera. He could not read or write,
but he could do the things that soldiers do, and
endure the things that soldiers endure. He could
count off the seconds before the order came to
chnrge^afferaalTTre the"
order came ne could go~over_
for all of t(s here at home; and he was struck
by one of the shells that were blasting at him as
he charged, and he fell.
Btretchei^freftrefa found-- him they...
saw that his- was an amputation case. Perhaps
you have seen in the movies, prepared by the
medical department of the army, how these
stretcher-bearers, privates in the medical corps,
make the skillful tourniquet, the emergency splint
.of rifle and grass for such a boy as this one, how
they rush him to the nearest dressing station,
and how lie is taken back to liis field and then
basehospitaL-lfyou bare-not, undoubtedly you
will soon have the opportunity, for the film will
be sent broadcast.
There is another film that shows part of the
threefold miracle for the returned men at Walter
Reed, but only part: (1) the film can show you
„jUow such a boy can make one arm or one leg do
the work of two; (2) it illustrates graphically how
he Is trained to a more Interesting and well-paid
trade than he had before the war, and his ampu-
tation—but. (3), the film alone, of course, cannot
show you the "life more abundant" which he feels
coming through the training of his mind, as he
learns tp read and write and life reveals new
-WondeP&^&nd-new- opportunities. ^
Maj. B. T. Baldwin, 8. C., U. S.A., with his assist-
ants, has provided opportunities of advancement
for all of these men. While a few words might
explain In general what it is that works this mir-
acle of what the surgeons call "reconstruction,"
it has taken the evolution of all the centuries to
develop the knowledge Which these surgeons and
psychologists now possess.
The process of reconstruction begins with the
distinctly physical treatment, medical or surgical,
-massage, and the various kinds of physio-therapy.
This is followed or carried on in conjunction with
that occupational reconstruction which develops
new muscrflar control and power in the partially
paralyzed limb or in the stump, while it is at the
same time teaching a new trade or occupation
through that very exercise; and in the third place
it is, simultaneously, clearing and training the

—then you see double;
then you know, that the
mutilation of the body
may not always be "too
great a price to pay for
some compensations of
the spirit.
The medical depart-
ment of the army, as it
works through Walter Reed, is and will be bound
up with the hopes of thousands of men and their
families. Working with these arnly doctors and
surgeons is the American Red Cross, helping to
valor, or devotion. ,. , , that is

one returned boy have been forming, very gradual-
ly, a silver necklace of great beauty—the hands
and the mind of that boy becoming the hands and
the mind of an artist as he has worked. Curious,
that through being injured there should borne a,
life more interesting, more significant, more crea-
tive. . '■ '
On the ten-acre farm and in Iho seven modern
greenhouses at Walter Reed cruelly crippled men
.are finding life immeasurably enhanced through
their wof-k with growing things. Sometimes men
who could call only a few flowers by name see in
them now- their loved vocation for the future.
By every" raedtas'ltnowii to modern science the'
minds of those others who have been clouded by

A short time ago the American Red Cross,
which is in charge of the recreational features of
the hospital; arranged for a special performance
of "Atta Boy," the uproariously funny musical
show acted and produced by the soldiers of Camp
Meigs. One may look twjee at this contrast:
The stage of a Washington theater presents a
solid phalanx of young soldiers, ranged row upon
row from floor, to top, ready fpr the opening
chorus; all in the very pink of condition—lithe,
muscular, eager for the action which sudden
peace (which of course they thought premature.
«incr> thev wouldn't get over!) denied them. But
the jolly chorus swings out with a zip, round and
treatment for some member of a man's family In
a far-away town.
In the convalescent house there is the great
open fireplace, with its crackling fire, books, flow-
ers, games. -imisie. Every week one of the Wash-
ington theaters sends out several of its acts.
After classes the men pour iri, some of those who
have Iain so helpless -weeks before, now .in
wheeled chairs engrossed in some handwork, yet
eager for the music and the fun. Others come to
say "good-by" before the visit home. You would
not guess that this boy had ever lost a leg, or
that an artificial arm could become so dexterous
as some you see here.
A leaf from the Red Cross entertainment book
is interesting. These events, planned from the
outside, are arranged through application to the
recreational staff of the Red Cross at the post.
Here are characteristic itenjis: Seventy boys to
Keith's theater and supper; one hundred boys to
Mount Vernon; three boys to birthday party for
Sergeant ; forty-five on sight-seeing bus tour,
and bo on and on.
"Why, sergeant, where is your new leg I
thought you were so proud of?" one of tfae work-
ers calls to a boy on a crunch. "I loaned it to
Jim. He had a pass to go to town," he answers.
A boy, wearing carefully wrapped puttees,
comes along in a wheeled chair. "Did. you find
out about those other puts?" he asks "the Red
Cross lady." "Yes, and thereonly one pair In
town and they cost twelve dollars." "I guess
we'll have to go without," he says; and there fol-
low.s pn interested conversation about a package
to be addressed to a girl back home.
A young boy who had lost one leg and one foot
was having attached for the first time the arti-
ficial leg on which, with a crutch, he soon was
going to try to walk. To support himself he had
one arm around his army surgeon, the other
around the Red Cross man. He was making great
bravado, though his face was white. "When the
apparatus was attached he asked to sit down.

It has always seemed, to me that Dr.
Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., should bB-placed
near the top when a list of America's
great benefactors is written. He studied
and conquered human diseases to a de-1
gree that few realize. Whenever he found
a remedy . that overcame disease, he at
once announced it in the newspapers and|
told where it could be bought at a small'
price. He did not follow the usual .custom!
of keeping the ingredients secret, so that
the rich only could afford to buy the
medicine, but openly printed the name of
each root and herb he used: " And so today
the names of-Dr. Pierce and his medicines
are widely known, and they stand for bet-
