Somebody has discovered that a Ber-
muda onion eaten raw will clear the
head. A Bermuda onion eaten raw will
do more than that. 1t will clear an en-
tire room. An active Bermuda onion ia
a complete clearing house all by itself.
Take one Bermuda onion-only one
and let the lips Of beauty close upon it,
and love will turn to hatred and honey
to gall and bitterness.
CLEAR the head? Why, a Bermuda on
ion in fairly good health will clear the

Soap Mixed In the Dough.

Epicures may be interested to know
that continental bakers are in the habit
of mixing soap with their dough to make
their bread and pastry nice and light.
The quantity of soap varies. In fancy
articles. like waffles and fritters. it is
much larger than in bread. The soap is
dissolved in water. oil is added, and the
mixture. after being well whipped. is
added to the fiour.

and secures their recognition and an
allowance thereon, lac cannot obtain a
further fee. But if the claimant goes to
another attorney after the first allowance
and secures his services in obtaining the
recognition of the other disabilities, this

to the fee paid TO the first attorney. The
fee may be as much as S25, the same as

NJ III. W, SubScriber-AS you were
formerly pensioned under the general law
for only part of the disabilities on which
you are now drawing under the act OF
1890, your claim seeking a rating under
the general law on these additional DIS
abilities. which you say originated IN the
service. becomes a claim for increase on
new disability" under the general law.
This class of claims is very difficult to
establish, even with the most truthful
and reputable witnesses, II there be no
record or medical evidence showing the
origin or existence OF the disabilities in
the service. The presumption in this
class of cases is especially strong that if
the disabilities amounted to any thing or
the case was at all meritorious, claim
would have been made on account of
them when the original claim was made.
While a certain element of public senti-
ment' has blamed the old soldier for
claiming his dues under the pension laws,
the officers executing those laws arc IN
clined to raise prescriptions" OF mo
title" against him when he has neglected
to apply until long years after his title
accrued. The evidence of your two com
rades and OF your two fri ands who have
known you since discharge will never
sec'lr, you the pension You are now
cE.i ming, no matter how high their stand
ing may be. You should obtain and file
all the testimony you can get IN sub
stanti etiD1 of your claim. 1t would be
idle for YOU to appeal to the Secretary of
the Interior on so little evidence. If after
The National tribune., 1899-01-05

you have furni she'd an abundance OF
testi nony your eli i'm is still rejected, you
stil have the ri INT to appeal, and If the
deci i IN is unfavorable, you can file vet
more testimony if you find more obtai 4
able, and can move a reconsideration by
the Secretary. There is no statute Oi
limitations applicable in the prosecution
of pension cla i'm.
T. w. b., Nicholson, Pa.-If the children
of the first wife, from whom the soldier
was divorced, were under Is at the date OF
death of the soldiers second wife, who
survived him and drew pension as his
widow they would be entitled TO pension
under the general law.
A. W., Dayton, n. Y.-Whether a sol
der S pension money or bounty money, or
property purchased Herewith. is subject
to taxation is dependent wholly upon
State laws. There is no United States
law on the subject
A Reader Mount Carmel, 1nd.-The
Board of Pension Appeals of the Interior
Department appears now to be about one

appeal in your case was filed last March,
YOU can hardly hope to hear from 1t before

H. j. H.. OF Springs, >. DIT would
seem that vouchers showing tnat the

Il. c., Dover, Flat does not neces-
sarily follow that because claim for
invalid pension under the general law is
allowed, a ella i'm under the act of June p,
1890, would also be allowed, even If based
on precisely the same disabilities as those
recognized in the general law claim The

indicates that much more weight and I'M
portance is USUALLY attached to testimony
adverse To pension claim than to that
which is favorable to il. The act OF Dec.
81. 1893, to which you refer, has never
been very literally Interpreted. The pres

law any differently than did his predeces-
sor. All the evidence in the case, no
matter how obtained and whether with or
without the knowledge of the claimant,
would be considered on an appeal TO the
Secretary of the Interior
j. L. T., Charleston, Me.-The widow
married to the soldier since June 70, 1880,
would not be entitled TO pension under
the act of June q, 1890 But if she can
show his death to be due to the service
and line OF duty, she can obtain pension
under the general law The fact that the
soldier was pensioner under the general
law will not help her any unless his
death can be shown to be due TO the pen
stoned cause.
G. NJ. A., Berlin Nights, O.-Your case
is Ike thousands of others. NotwIth-
standing that you are considerably dis
abled, the Hoke Smith rulings still re-
taI1ed by the present Administra ton,
deny you a rating under the act OF June
p, 1880, to which yoal are justly entitled
