MANY MAKE IMPROPER
CLAIM FOR ALLOTMENT
Governments Generosity Is Taken
Advantage OF by Unscrupulous
Persons, Says Kelley.

The words 'aIlotments' and AL
lowances,' as used in describing the
sums paid by the government to the
dependents OF soldiers or sailors. have
meanings that are quite dissimtlar
yet apparently are indistinguishab Bile
in the minds of most people, says
Secretary c. r. Kelley
The allotment is part Of the sol
dier's or sailors pay, which he has a
perfect right to bestow without any
consideration of dependency. while
the allowance, except in the case OF
a wife or child, is gratuity which
the government should not be asked
to make unless real dependency
exists
Abuse of the governments gener-
esity in regard to allowances has be-
come matter of such consequence
that the various state councils of de-
Tense have been asked to investigate
the subject c. r. Kelley. executive
secretary of the Virginia council, is
sending to each county and city
chairman in the state a circular
drawing distinctions between the
terms and showing the Importance OF
preventing improper allowances.
1t is clear that the allotment in no
way affects the obligation of the gov
eminent to the man in uniform. II
the allotment is improperly paid. its
adjustment is an easy matter for
those concerned. but the total amount
to be paid by the government is not
increased. An allowance. on the 9th er
hand, increases the amount to be
paid by the government and. if i'm
properly paid. Is an unwarranted tax
upon every citizen of the country.
AS stated in a communication re-
Gently issued by the council of ma
tional defense: AN allowance is a
gratuity No one except "A wife or
child should accept il who does not
absolutely need it. The Illegal receipt
of an allowance is a fraud on the
government and an acceptance of
charity from the community"
Reports received at Mr.. keiley's Of
nee from several counties OF Virginia
indicate that the bounty of the gov
eminent in the way Of allowances 70
supplement allotments is not an un-
mixed blessing even TO the re-
cipients and is a very distinct disad-
vantage to the communities in which
the recipients live.
Some OF these henehciaries are now
having more money 10 spend than
they ever thought they would have
at their disposal and they are form

likely prove most harmful to them

HOW TO FIGHT
SPANISH INFLUENZA
BY DIR. I. w. BOWERS.


Avoid crowds. coughs and towards,
but fear neither germs nor Germans.
Keep the system in good order. take
plenty of exercise In the fresh air and
practice cleanliness. Remember
clean mouth. a clean skin. and clean
bowels are a protecting armor against
disease. To keep the liver and bowels
regular and to carry away the poisons
within, it is best to take vegetable
pill every other day. made up Of May
apple, aloes. jalap. and sugar coated
to be had at most drug stores. known
as DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. If
there is a sudden onset of. what APP
pears like a hard cold. one should go
to bed. wrap warm. take a hot mus
tard foot-bath and drink copiously of
hot lemonade. IL pain develops in
head or back. ask the druggist for
Anuric (anti-uric) tablets. These will
flush the bladder and kidneys and
carry off poisonous germs. To control
the pains and aches take one Anuric
tablet every two hours, with frequent
drinks of lemonade. The pneumonia
appears in a most treacherous way,
when the influenza victim is appar-
emily recovering and anxious TO leave
his bed. In recovering from q bad
attack of influenza or pneumonia the
system should he built up with good
herbal tonic. such as DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, made with
out alcohol from the roots and banks
of American forest trees. or his Irontic

tanned at most drug stores. or send

If any explanation has been made
of this singular way of speaking of
the relations of the United States to
France, Great Britain and the other
powers with which the United States
has joined forces in fighting and de-
feating the Hun it has failed TO at
tract our attention.
II the reason is merely some deli
cate shade of diplomatic technique,
the why and wherefore should be
stated in order to avoid misapprehen-
sion.
Surely it cannot be nosslpl, that the
United States Is something less than
an ally. This country has fought as
an ally. has won victory as an ally,
and ii is as an ally that IL must take
its place on equal terms with tho 9TH
err allies at the peace council which
will settle vast and vital world prob
lens In these problems in assuring
the safety of the world from agrees
sion and autoeracy. and In the estab-
fishing of liberty the world over, AM

sibility as an ally among allies.
