THE BLIND AND THE MUTILATED
Big Sale Of Shorthorns
Elk City, June 3rd, 1918.
Shorthorns of merit—
The blood that makes champions.
I will have a sale at Elk City, Okla. on June 3rd.
1918, of my Registered Shorthorn Cattle.
Part of these cattle are Scotch while part are
plain bred. Many have calves by their sides.
There are a few bulls in the offering and several
well bred Scotch bulls fit to head any herd.
By Dr. ESTHER LOVEJOY
If you want to get a start of the blood that
makes champions don’t fail to attend this sale.
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 l*x>k
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 tht
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 personal
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 why
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 his
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 niembers of society, but the soul 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-
filed 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.

iTwenty Thousand Nurses Now
: Enrolled in American
Red Cross.
Of tbe eighty odd thousand register-
ed trained nurses In the United States
I about 20,000 have enrolled as Bed

ing reserve of the United States Army
Nurse Corps and the United States
Navy Nurse Corps, and from It will
also be drawn contingents for service
under other allied flags than our own.
The enrollment goes on at the rate of
1,000 volunteers a month. On a basis
of an army of a million men over 80,-
000 nurses will be required for active
,duty In the present year.
| Up to the last of February over
'•7,000 nurses had been actually detailed
j to duty or were ready for Immediate
mobilization. So it is seen that there
are none too many, In view of the re*
qulrements of the service, since be-
tween time of enrollment and actual
assignment to duty the nurse must un-
dergo a period of special study and
training for war service, and the wort
of organizing and mobilizing this
“army of mercy” Is no small thing.
Mr. Jones is creating a great deal of patriotic
enthusiasm wherever he lectures, come out and
hear him.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot roach
the diseased portion of the car. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is
caused by an Indented condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube Is inflamed you have a rumbling
Bound or imperfect hearing, and when It Is
entlroly closed, Deafness Is tbe result, and
unlcs* the Inflammation can ire taken out
and this tube restored to Its normal condi-
tion. hearing will bo destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which la nothing but an Inflamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
Wo will give One Hundred Dollars for any
