ENEEMENENIMMINNIMMINIMIllifinalliginlid (Continued'from our 'last' issue.) When a man is sent to a convales- cent homee he generally turns over his steady visitor to the man in the next bed. Most visitors have autograph al - ,burns and bore Tommy to death by asking him to write the particulars of his wounding in same. Several Tome mies try to deck this unpleasant job byrtelling, the visitor that he cannot write, but this never phases the owner of the album; he or she, generally she, offers to write it for him and Tommy is stung into telling his exepriences. The questions asked Tenimy by vis- itors would make a clever joke book to a military man. Some kindly looking old lady will stop at your bed and in a sympathetic voice address yo'. "You poor boy, wounded by those terrible Germans. You must be suffering frightful pain. A. bullet did you. say? Well, tell me, I have always 'Wanted to know, did it hurt worse going in or 'Coming out?" Tommy generally replies that he did not stop to figure it out When he was bit. One very nice-lookinge over enthus- astic young thing, stopped at my bed and asked, "What wounded you in the face?" In a polite bat bored tone I answer- ed, "A rifle bullet," ' With a look of disdain she passed to the nex bed„ first ejaculating, "Ohl only a bullet? I thought it was a shell." Why she should think a shell wound was more of a distinction beats me. I don't see a whole lot of differ- ence myself. The American Women's War HOs- pital, was a heaven fer wounded men. They were allowed every privilege possible conducive with the rules and military disciplien The only fault was that the men's passes was restricted. To get a pass required an aet of Par- liament. Tommy, tried many tricks Oise OVer I. 0 The Top k‘3' ARTHUR OUT EMPEY to get out, but the commandant, an old Boer War Officer, was wise to them all, and it took a new and clev- er ruse to make him • affix his signa- ture to the eoveted slip of paper. As soon as tit dv-ould get dark many a patient climbed over the wall and went "on his own," regardless of many signs staring him in the face, "Out of bounds for Patients." Gen- erally the nurses were looking the othd er way when. one of these night raids started. I hope this inforreation will get Atone of them- into troable, but I caenot resist the temptation to let the _Cornmandant know that occasionally we put it over on him. One afternoon I received a note, through our underground .channel, friarn my female visitor, asking me to attend ae party at her houSe that ntight. I answered that she could ex- pect me and to meet meat a certain place on the road well known by all patients, and some visitors, as "over the wall." I told her I would be on hand at seven -thirty. About seven -fifteen I sneaked my '- overcoat and cap out of 'the ward and hid it in the -bushes. Then I told the nurse, a particular friend of mine, tbat I was going for a -walk in the 'rethn.6as:t. ederything was all right on her garden. She winked and I knew GOing out of the ward, I slipped into the bushes and Made for the wall It was dark as pitch and I was grop- ing through the underbrush, when suddenly I stepped into space and felt myself rushing downward, a horrible „bump, and blackness. When I came) to, my wounded shoulder was hurting horribly. I was lying against a cir- cular wall of bricks„ dripping' with moisture, and far away I could hear the trickling Of water. I 'had in the darkness fallen into an old disused well. But why wasn't I wet? Ac- cording to all rules I should have been drowned. Perhaps I was And didn't 1Friow it.

If you visit a barber you may have the unfor- tunate experience of Mr. M. Butler, of Bridgeport, Colin., who developed what is known as "Barber's Rash" on his face through the use of an infected razor. He writes: "My face was covered with sores, which caused me a great deal of suffering and. inconvenience, and I was unable to shave for four weeks. Repeated. applications of Zam-Buk, however, entirely rid me of the trouble." To avoid the possibility of such an experience, immediately you see a rash or spot appear, treat it with Zam-Buk. This balm will destroy all germs;*-- prevent the disease spreading and soon end the trouble. For eczema, old sores, ulcers, blood -poisoning, burns, and cuts there is nothing to equal Zam-Buk.

I recognized Corporal 'Cook, an ardent' "night - raider." He heard my "siss-s-s-s-S and came to the edge of the hole. I ,explained my predicament and amid a Jot of impertinent remarks, which at the time I did not resent, I was soon fished out. Taking off oer boots we sneaked into the ward. I was sitting on. my bed in, the dark, just starting to un- dress, when the man next to -.me, "Ginger" Pdiillips, whispered, "'Op it, Yank, 'ere comes' the matron." I immediately got Under the cov- ers and feigned sleep. The matron stood talking in low tones to the night mime 'and I fell asleep. / When I awoke ie. the Morning the night sister, an American, wits bend- ing over me An awful sight met my eyes.

One of the Can- adians in the -ward described her as being "A Jake of a good fellow." Next visiting day I had an awful time explaining to my visitor why I had .not met her at the appointed time and place. • And for a week every time I paised a patient he would all, "Well, well, here's the Yank. Hope you are feel- ing well, old top. The surgeon in our ward was an American. a Harvard Unit man, nam- ed Frost. We nicknamed him "Jadic Frost." He was loved by all. If a Tam -my was to be cut up he had no objection to undergoing the operation if "Jack Frost" was to wield the knife. Their confidence in nim was pathetic He was the best sport I have ever met. One Saturday morning the Com- mandant and some "high-up" officers were inspecting the ward, when one of the natients who had been wounded in the head by a bit of shrapnel, fell on the floor in a fit. They brosight him round, and then looked for the ward orderly to carry the patient back to his bed at the other end of the ward. The orderly was no where to be found—like our policemen, they never are when needed. The officers were at a ,loss how to get Palmer in- to. his bed. Dr Frost was fidgeting around in a nervous manner, when suddenly with a muffled "dam" and a few other qualifying adjectives, he stooped down and took the an in his arms like a baby—he was n. feather eitber—and staggered clownithe ward with him„ put him into a bed and un- dressed him. A low murmur of approv- al came from the patients. Dr. Frost got very red and as soon as he had finished undressing Pahner, hurriedly left the ward. The wound in my face had almost healed and I was a horrible looking sight—the left cheek ,twisted into a knot. the eye pued down, and my mouth pointing in a north by north- west direction. ! I was very down- hearted and could imagine. myself during the rest of my life being shun- ned by all on account of the repulsive seal:f. r. Frost arranged for me to go to the Cambridge Militaty Hospital at Aldershot for a special operation to try and make the scar presentable. I arrived at the hospital and got an awful shock. The food was poor and the discipline abnormally strict. No patient as allowed to sit on his bed, and smoking was permitted only at certain designated hours. The. face specialist did nothing for me except to look at the Wound. I made applica- tion for a transfer backtto Paignton, offeriing to pay my transportation. This offer was accepted, and after two weeks absence once again I arrived in Munsey Ward, all hope gone. The next day after my return, Dr. Frost stopped at ,my bed and said: "Well, Empey, if you want me to try and see what I can do with'that scar I'll do it, but you are faking an awful chance." T answered: "Well, Doctor, Steve Brodie took ,a, chance, he hails from • 'MON EXPOSI roR INew York anti eo do L" , Two days after the undertaker squad carried me to the operating room, or "pictures," as we called them ; becausfs of the funny films we see un- der ether, and the operation was per- formed It wonderfuliieee of surgery and a marvelous suceess.

The definitions are not official, of course. Tommy is not a sentimental sort of animal so some of his defini- tions are not exactly- complimentary, but he is not cynical and does not mean to offend anyone higher up.
