DISABLED CANADIAN SOLDIERS
What Is Being Done To Restore
Their Ability
The Military Hospitals Commission
at Ottawa informs us that 2,081 soldiers
were under its care at the beginning of
this month. Of these 426 were at Sana.
toria for tuberculosis, and 1,616 at Con-
valescent Hospitals, 682 of the latter
being out while 39 members of
the force were in asylums for the insane.
Of the 426 cases of tuberculosis, it may
be added, almost exactly half were dis-
covered in time to prevent them from
leaving Canada for the seat of war.
According to a statment prepared by
the Militia Department, up to October
5, 1016, the number of soldiers sent
back to Canada because of medical unfit-
ness was 5,208. Of these, 861 were
suffering from wounds, shell -shock, or
the effect of guns; 122 were insane; 245
were afflicted with tuberculosis; while
the remainder, 4,880 were suffering
from other diseases and disabilities.
All Canadians ought to know what is
being done by 'the Military Hospitals
Commtsion, acting on behalf or the
whole body of citizens, for the restora-
tion of their wounded defenders to a
position of self-support and independ-
ence.
. Every disabled soldier is examined on
arriving at Quebec, If he is no longer
in need of hospital treatment, he is
sent home free of expense and dis-
charged with a pension or grauity
according to the extent of his disability,
If he needs further treatment, he is
taken to the hospital or sanatorium
where the treatment most suitable to
his case it available, and, if possible, to
the institution nearest his home. Men
who cannot resume their former work
on discharge from hospital are advised
and enaoled to take special training for
new occupatiot,s. This is provided free
of cost; and while the men are being
trained the Dominion Government
maintains them and their families.
Men needing artificial limbs are taken
to Toronto, where these limbs are made
and supplied without charge. Men with
serious nerve disorders are treated
specially in the Ontario Military Hos-
pital at Cobourg.
Each Provincial Government has ap-
pointed a Commisson to help discharged
men in securing steady and remunera-
tive work. The Dominion Government,
and other authorities and employers,
systematically give preference to re•
turned soldiers when filling vacant
positions.
Thepublic can and should co-operate
heartily in this urgently necessary work
by encouraging the men to take fullest
advantage of the curative and educa-
tional opportunities given them, and
afterwards by seeing that they get
work. Local committees have been form-
ed for this purpose in many towns, but
much more has to be done in this way.
The treatment, most carefully carried
out in accordance with the latest dis-
coveries and proved results of medical
experience, includes many forms of
strengthening exercises, often requir-
ing special and costly apparatus; the
scientific use of electricity, massage,
and continuous baths for affected limbs;
with wise dieting and fresh air as a
matter of course.
Occupation is often as necessary and
beneficial as rest itself, in its curative
and strengthening effect on body and
mind. Classes are therefore held at the
hospitals, for instruction and practice
in many arts and industries, such as
carpentry and wood -carving, metal and
leather working, typewriting and book-
keeping, mechanical drawing and
elementary engineering, gardening,
bee -keeping and poultry raising.
These all help to increase the cap-
acity of the patients, and to lessen the
effect of any injury they have received
by getting them into practice for such
industries as they can profitably under-
take. The medical and educational
officers try first to discover what each
man is most likely to succeed at, and
then to fit him for it as thoroughly as
possible.
It has been wisely decided that no
man shall forfeit any part of his pension
on account of his industry and enter-
prise in improving his own financial
position.
Let our readers write without hesi-
tation to the Secretary of the Military
Hospitals Commission at Ottawa, or to
the Provincial Commission at the
Provincial capital, asking any further
information they may desire, or giving
practical suggestions resulting from
thought or experience.

hence.
The newly organized Glee Club, under
the capable leadership of Mr. Butcher,
rendered two choice selections.
The Journal by Editor Foran was one
of the best that has ever been given
here and by its quiet humor and
local
hints brought forth hearty applause
from the audience.
Mr. Anderson, in the role of critic,
gave some valuable suggestions regard-
ing the different .numbers of the pro-
gramme.
The meeting was particularly good
and reflects great credit on the new
executive, and if the meetings that are
to follow keep up to this standard we
have promise of an excellent society
for this term.

Married in the West.
A very pretty wedding was solemnized
on Thursday, Oet. 26th, at Penryn Park
Farm, near Simpson, Sask., the home
of Mr. and Mrs. S. McChesney, when
their only daughter, Edna M., became
the bride of Smith Stein, second son of
Mr. and Mrs. R. 5. Stein, of Simpson
and formerly of East Wawanosh. The
ceremony was performed by the Rev.
H. B. Johnston, of Assiniboia, assisted
by Rev, W. Wilson, of Watrous. At
the appointed hour the
bridalparty
entered the parlor to the strains of
Mendelssohn's wedding march, played
by Miss Edythe Winteringham, of
Brandon, and took their places in front
of a tastefully arranged background of
flowers. The bride, who was given
away by her father, was beautifully
gowned in white silk crepe de ehene,
trimmed with satin ribbon and pink and
blue rosebuds. She carried a very
pretty baguet of white roses and maiden
hair fern. The bride was attended by
Miss G. V. Stein, sister of the groom,
while Mr. R. McChesney assisted the
groom. After congratulations all sat
down to a sumptuous repast after which
a toast was proposed to the bride and
groom in which Rev. Mr. Johnston
spoke for the bride and Rev. Mr.
Wilson for the groom. The groom's
gift to the bride was a beautiful fur
coat with muff to match, and to the
bridesmaid a solid gold brooch set with
pearls, and to the groomsman a gold
signet ring. The youngeouple received
numerous and costly presents, which
signifies the high esteem in which they
ate held. Mr. and Mrs. Stein will reside
on the groom's farm near Simpson.
