Speaking of the accomplishments of Bass Hospital No. 10, Doctor Taylor said: "The remarkable recoveries from the most serious wounds of many of our patients, was the thing that perhaps struck me the most, during my stay In France. "Some of the wounds recehed from shrapnel, hand grenades and machine, gun bullets," continued Doctor Taylor, "were of such a nature that the soldier's recovery was almost given up, but a great many of them recovered. Another thing that Impressed me was the almost total absence of typhoid and tetanus Infections." Doctor Taylor was stationed with' the other members of the unit at the British Hospital No. 18, at Treport, on the western coast of France, eighteen miles north of Dieppe, and about fifty miles east ot Amiens. The hospital had 2200 beds, all of which were continually filled. The wounded would be brought to this hospital In motor ambulances, treated here until such time as they were able to be transported, and then sent to permanent hospitals In Kngland. Many American soldiers among the units brigaded with the British early In the American participation In the war. were treated at this hospital, Doctor Taylor said, and their spirit under extreme pain waa wonderful. The hospital was never bombed by the Huns,.the doctor said, and the only tlmo that nny ap prehension was felt was during the Ger man drlvo on Amiens last March, when General Gough's Fifth British v)rmy was pushed back, and, for a time, was cut off from the other armies. Doctor Taylor returned on the steam ship Susquehanna, which docked nt New port News. He said that the other mem bers of the unit soon expect to get their release from the British Government and return home. BBSF- & BaBmBmVtfJksHSSHI BLSrJjS9aLsLsLsHn:HsBM i -vlS Mt i-5 3. ju,a JU.

From the tlmn of Marshal Foch's counter-oftenslvo last July until tho signing of tne armistice, Mrs. Parrish worked continuously among the wounded. She frequently was under fire. ALICE'S dlvorco turned out not to be one, as It happened. Ruth got a special delivery letter telling her so on the morning after Scott left. "Mother was all for smoothing mat ters over," Bcott wrote. "From the be ginning I could seo that nothing else would satisfy her. I msclf am not at all sure that we are right about fixing things up between them." "I should think not" exclaimed Iluth to herself. "Poor Bertl and I thought he would be free at lastl" "We 'have both talked to Alice," the letter went on, "and she seems to realize that she has only herself to thank for everything. Even mother agreed with me on that and she herself told Alice that Bert was not to blame. I don t know how Bert feels, although he has consented to go back to Alice and to try again. I shall be glad to get away from here and will leave tonight. Mother Is staying rin for 'a few days." Buth folded up the letter thoughtful ly and put It Into Its envelope. She could not help wondering If Scott and his mother had a right to Interfere between Alice and her husband Just to avoid facing a divorce. How much better It would be for Bert to bo free.- nuth wondered It he really cared for Atlce deeply. It looked that way, Inasmuch as ho wsb going back to her, but Iluth felt that" Alice would not really be any different. Allco had not developed her traits after marriage. Her married life had not been the means of preying on her nerves and rendering her unlike her self. Scott had told Buth once that the only person he had ever quarreled with was his sister, and Alice had quar reled with every one apparently, from the tlmo she was a smitli girl. She had Inherent Jealousy, she was narrow and very selfish. Well, there was no need of thinking about things any longer. Tomorrow Scott would be home, and the house needed rearranging, nuth after all had stayed with her mother. Mrs. Bow. land had Insisted and the night before she had gone to sleep In her own little room, that same little room that haa harbored so much girlish unhapplness. so many girlish fears. There had been fought out all her dread of marrying Jack Bond, all her realisation that she bad chosen the wrong man. There she had gono to suffer alone when the news had come from France that Scott whs reported missing, there she had tasted her first real happiness In the few short days before she was married, for they were the only days In weeks that she haa spent wunoui worrying about life. That morning Bhe had waked to hear Bobby scampering around the hall, and she had dropped off again. When she next opened her eyes Martha was spoil ing her with a brenkfast tray, good old Martha, who still treated Ruth like a child. It had seemed Just ltke old times when she had gone in to see her mother, and Mrs. Rowland had complained of a headache, nothing was changed except ing Ruth herself, and she would never be quite the same, -for sho had Scott and he would always come first. She liad hurried back to her own place Immediately after breakfast ex pecting a letter from Scott and It was , thero waiting for her. When the regular mall came there was another letter for her addressed In strange handwriting. It was written on very thick dull-finished paper In a square, extremely character. Istlq handwriting. Ruth wrinkled her brows as ehe tore It open. Who could be writing to her7 She had forgotten all about Nick Carson. It was from Nick Carson, and a little flush crept up Into her face as she turned tho letter over nnd read the slg. nature. She had almost forgotten about him In the last day or so and here was atleter from him. What could he be writing about, and wasn't It Just a little wrong to be receiving letters from any one but Scott? Friendship with men was a new thing to, Ruth. She still had the old-fashioned Idea ot marriage, which In a great many cases Is the better Idea, for all that Is said to the contrary. Sho skimmed If over quickly and saw nothing In it to worry her. Wouldn't she and her husband like to come down on Sunday to.tca nt his sister's? Isabel would likely be there and several other people he wanted her to know. Ruth liked that personal touch. It sounded bb It there were an Intimate kind ot an understanding between them, an Intima tion that they must of necessity like the same people. She did hope that Scott would be willing to go. Right then was born a determination in Ruth's heart to keep up this friendship with Nick Carson. Not that she wanted particu larly to be friendly with him, but she did like him; he was attractive, and sho felt that she had risen Immediately In Scott's estimation when he realized that she could turn the tables on him If sho wished. (In the next tlmptrr Roth gnen on wllli her determination to know Nick Caraon better.)

In other words, if we had paid $13.13, we would have made no profit Or, if we had received a quarter of a cent per pound less for dressed beef we would have made no profit. It is doubtful whether any other business is run on so close a margin of profit. I This is bringing the producer and the consumer pretty close together which should be the object of any industry turning raw material into a useful form. l This remarkable showing is due to enormous volume, perfected facilities (packing plants strategically located, branch houses, refrigerator cars, etc.), and an army of men and women choseq and trained to do their special work. This, and many other points of interest, are found in the Swift & Company Year Book for 1919, just published which is brought out for the public as well as for the 25,000 Swift & Company shareholders. The Year Book, also represents the packer's side of the Federal Trade Commission investigation, upon which Congress is asked to base action against the industry. Many who have never heard the packer's side are sending for the Year Book. Would you like one? Merely mail your name and address to the Chicago office and the book will come to you.
