...leaving one end attached, and the free end grafted in place on the face, maintaining continuous blood supply. After the upper end is healed, and circulation established, the lower end may be cut away, and the flap turned as needed to fill in the defect. New blood vessels grow into it. When finally healed, the extra material is cut away. This simple process thus necessitates at least three separate operations at 'considerable intervals...
...weeks since successful experiments in acceleration of plant growth by artificial light were announced (TIME, Nov. 5). Now we have the next step: etherizing them to make them grow. Prof. David Lumsden, of the Federal Horticultural Board, found out that if a "shot of dope" is given to a plant either by inhalation or a hypodermic needle, exactly the,contrary of the effect of ether on human beings is produced. Instead of putting plants to sleep it can produce overnight perceptible fresh green shoots from rose bushes dug out of frozen ground in midwinter. Kept indoors on the ether diet...

It stands for a faith that life is but a means to a still greater end, that life has an object More precious far than life itself. No selfishness of man or nation can, blot their sacrifice or mock then faith, for through that faith alone is life worth...
