The pensioner whoso chi-n occupation wuh to -whittle rlrysoods boxes and spin varus about the war is a thins of the pnst. There will he no nior-': pensioners. Thvre :tro no more p; unions. And. the men who made f-afrtiiccM on the i'iel'I of battle in tho Kivat w.ir will not he thrown trpon the world with nothing to do, nothing noth-ing to look forward to and with no incentive in-centive 10 p "i'sonal endoa vor. Tho dawn of a new dac lias come for the "old soldier" who, in tins case is a younff soldier. A new future has been opened to him, a future in which he'will j htj enabled to take his place again in civil HIV as an independent, scli-support-in. and e'en productive citizen. Though niairned ever so seriously, lie will be able IVi do something, and there will bo something some-thing for him to do. There will be a place Vor him to fill in the business, the social ai.d the political world, and ho will he fit if '1 to fill this place with credit to JiuiiMdf and benefit to his fellow man. ; Tendency of People j to Worship Men. j " M' course, the soldier.; who yerved at' I the front and especially t ho-?'.- who made ' rhe sacrifice of health or limb will return j w ith the halo of heroism about their ! heads. It in natural nnd proper that they I t hull Id le idolized and petted by those ( .or whom they fought. This show of ii'iirechuion of their valor and sacrifice 's coming to them and they will receive :.

To guard against such a calamity In 'iiii- war the United Slates government is stepped in and taken a hand in the re of its discharged soldiers.

It is going to take each individual sick and wounded soldier and reconstruct him, fit him for the duties of citizenship, make him able to support himself independently in civil pursuits, make him able to produce something some-thing for the good of the world. New War Idea Being Evolved. This is a new war idea. It is an American Ameri-can idea, the value and plausibility of which has already been demonstral ed to a marked extent- and whien is about to be more fully demonstrated in the, great reconstruction v ork that has been launched throughout the tTntted States under the direction of the medical department depart-ment of the United States army and the war insurance bureau. This is primarily the work of the reconstruction re-construction hospitals of the army and secondarily that of the reconstruction board of the war insurance bureau. The hospitals will first treat and reconstruct the physical man to the utmost extent possible, then th-3 work of re-educating and fitting him for work in civil life will be Liken up. This work is begun in the hospital itself and is continued even after the hospital discharges the patient, under direction of the special board to which the continuance of the work has been intrusted. These reconstruction hospitals are destined des-tined to become the nation's great re-builders re-builders of manhood. Upon them falls the duty of remodeling, remaking the bat tie-battered and war-worn soldiers who return from the battlefield alive, but OFFICERS, nurses and non-commissioned staff of.

Many of these men have not themselves alone to tninK about, but families dependent upon then-future then-future abilities for support. Hospitals Aim to Reconstruct Men. It is the purpose, the aim and the intention in-tention of tho reconstruction hospitals to make these men not only able to care for themselves, but able to properly support sup-port their families and those dependent upon them. ! It is true the government has provided insurance to alleviate the immediate needs of such dependents and the soldi sol-di era themselves, but insurance doesn't last always. There ccmes a time when the insured must be able to produce something himself if he is to maintain his status as a, citizen, as the head of a family, as a productive member of humanity. hu-manity. By means of its system of reconstruction re-construction hospitals the government is providing tha greater and more valuable insurance of a future of usefulness lor the soldier. It is one of these invaluable institu- tions that is being established at Fort i Douglas as army general hospital No. 27, 5 and it is there that no mean portion of; the great work of reconstruction is to i be done. The local reconstruction hos-( hos-( pital may be small as compared with l some of the other institutions of the country of a similar nature, but the work to be done here is none the less vital j. i and the results expected to be accom-, i pllshed there no less important to the ! j individual and the nation at large. Hundreds of Sick j Will Be Treated. I Ac the local hospital hundreds of sick J and maimed soldiers, who are coming 1 back .here from the fields of France, j broken in health and shattered in body, j are to be remade so that when they are j finally discharged from the army they may be able to step forth as men among 1 men, independent, productive citizens, j To this reconstruction work thousands of patriotic men and women throughout the country are giving their time, and best efforts. Many of them, members of the medical corps, the army nurse corps, I Hie sanitary corps and the hospital corps 1 have been engaged in this work in the j u,iM nospuais nenina tne lines in France ; and in the hospitals of this countrv. But j the real work of these men and 'women begins now as the war ends. Kspecially 1 is this so In this countrv, for now that hostilities have ceased, the sick and ' I wounded that otherwise would have been i reconstructed in the base hospitals in France and England will be brought home and distributed through the general hospitals hos-pitals of this country. The war department is following the plan of sending sick and wounded men to hospitals in the sections of the country from which they originally came and this means that western men are due to come to fhe hospital at Fort Douglas, which is oinciaii designated as the reconstruction hospital for the western department Preparations for receiving these patients pa-tients are being rushed at the local post It is not necessary to observe that every- Local Army Fostv Hospital Will N( Aid Work j thing will be in readiness for them when ' they" begin to come. And it may be adth-a that the local hospital will not take see- I nnd place to any in point of admhiistra- J lion, eipiipment and every oilier feature essential lo success. Fort Douglas is fortunate m having assigned to duty at Us hospital an exceptional ex-ceptional -class of men and women who are here to give their all to the cause of reconstructing the sick and wounded soldiers sol-diers of the west. Officers, nursoH and ti! is ted men are actuated by the 0110 idea of service to their country and those who fought for it. No reconstruction patients have yet arrived ar-rived at the local hospital, but every indication in-dication is that it will he but a short time when they will reach here. Tn tho meantime officers, nurses and men Imve had plenty to do caring for the influenza patients who filled the isolation hospital at the post during the epidemic of that malady. The epidemic .struck troops in Salt Lake 1 before the new hospital was hardly established estab-lished even on paper, but the small de- 1 tachment of medical officers, nurses and '1 hospital corps men who had reached the j post, grasped the situation with a wilt, worked like trojans and coped with the , Will Not Suffer W' fetWiC World's Cold K,'fi-P ?'
