THE BLIND AND THE MUTILATED
By Dr. ESTHER LOVEJOY
IN the years to come this war will prove a blessing to the
blind. A new world is being evolved Nature has at least
one extraordinary sense in reserve for those who lose any
of the five ordinary senses. The blind feel things that are not
within reach. They are conscious of vibrations that are not
perceptible to seeing men.
The sightless learn to read very quickly by the Braille
method. It is interesting to watch the face of a blind man
as his fingers pass over the upraised dots of a Braille book
and his mind perceives the mysteries recorded there for him
They have special stenographic machines and special print
ing presses. Books and magazines are translated into the
written language of the sightless.
Men blinded in battle are acquiring great skill in the
textile arts, as moulders, and in other industries where a
highly developed sense of touch is essential to good work
The higher type of blind men have great persona!
charm. Their souls seem nearer the surface. They are pe
culiarly beloved people, and their clairvoyance makes them
conscious of the kindness and affection with which they are
regarded. Naturally they react to it. Perhaps that is win
they usually seem so happy and cheerful.
Unfortunately there are forms of mutilation which
have the opposite effect. When a man knows that he is re
pulsive to every man, woman and child who looks upon him;
when he shrinks from the reflection of his own disfigured
face in the mirror, and shudders at the strange sound of hi,
own voice*, he wants to die.
A great deal is being done for these mutilated men.
They are being refitted with arms and legs. Plastic surgery
is doing its part, too, in the way of restoring palates, teeth
and facial contour, and the American Red Cross in Paris is
attempting to make life more livable for them by providing
masks which restore their original features. They will be
useful members of society, but thefsoul of man craves more
than service. Life and liberty are precious possessions, but
the pursuit of happiness is the dearest right of man. We are
all alike. We want to go through life with the sweet illusion
that the blue bird of happiness is just within reach, and this
illusion is almost impossible to the disfigured man.
It is the Sacred duty of all those who have been bene
fited by their sacrifice to leave nothing undone to restore
their usefulness; to employ every art to increase their men
tal and physical powers and the charm of personalities, to
the end that their lives may be enriched rather than impov
erished by the fortunes of war.

CAN YOU SOLVE IT?
“Good morning, children,”
said the arithmetic teacher.
How many of you have prepar
ed an original problem in mul
tiplication, as 1 requested?”
Only one hand went up.
“Well, William, you may
give your problem and the rest
of the class may solve it.”
“If my baby sister is a year
old now and weighs twenty
pounds, and keeps on .gaining
two ounces a day until she is
sixteen years old, and if the
price of living doubles again
in the next ten years, how
much will my sister’s gradua-!
tion outfit cost? Mother says
she would like to know?

CHILDREN EAT GRASS
Paragould Man in France Says
Poverty is Terrible
Paragould, June 4.—Willis
Deakin, a Paragould boy, now
serving with the American for
ces in France writing to friends
here of the condition in that
country says “Most of the peo
ple in P'rance are very poor
and some of the children beg.
I have seen small children eat
ing grass. If the people of
America could visit one of the
French towns they would real
ize that they are having an
easy time and would help the
French more than they do.
Whenever You Need a General Tonic
Take Grove’s.
The Old Standard Grove’s Tasteless
chill Tonic is equally valuable as a
General Tonic because it contains the
well known tonic properties of QUININE
and IRON. It acts on the Liver, Drives
out Malaria, Enriches the Blood and
Builds up the Whole System. 60 cents.
