It is high time that every American citizen (the real citizen) should arouse himself to his individual responsibility in the war," he continues, "for do we aot boast that this government represents the sum of the wills of the people, and are we not free to express our feelings and wishes to our governing bodies?

Not only are artificial legs so cleverly constructed to-day that cripples ng them are enabled to walk almost as well as norinal individuals, but climbing Ladders and such tasks also become a com. Paratively simple proposition.
There are fewer motions for the lower. limbs to perform than for the arms, but artificial aring and hands are now pro vided which can do almost everything that natural aring and hands can accom plish.
These artificial limbs are constructed, of course, to suit the particular uses to which they will be put, depending upon the vocation which the user intends to follow.

At the many training schools in France. where maimed soldiers are being taught to carn their own livelihoods, the curri culum is just as complete se at a manual school for normal individuals. work, shoemaking, tailoring, carpentry and bookbinding are the principal trades covered, but there are many other special courses.
