$50 BONUS FOR MEN
WHO SAW SERVICE
Hundreds of Madison Boys Now At
Home Have This Sum '-O6ming
To Them" Under New Law

Every Madison county boy who was
discharged from the army or naval
forces of the United States will re-
ceive bonus of $50. This was assur-
ed by the act of Congress, which be-
came law when signed by President
Wilson yesterday. There are now
some hundreds of Madison boys who
were discharged without receiving the
bonus which the act entities them to,
and all they have to do is to send in
their papers. Major Stone Norman,
has been designated to assist them
sending in the proper papers, ETC., and
by applying to him in his rooms in the
Collins building on West Main street,
they can ascertain just what steps to
take in the matter.
There has been considerable agita-
ton in some quarters for the enact
ment of what is known as the "Shafer
plan" into law. This would give ev-
cry man who has been in the service
IL months extra pay upon his dis
charge.
Under the law as enacted, however,
the enlisted men receive $50. Sine
the signing of the armistice 68,320
discharges have taken place at Camp
Taylor, Louisville. These officers,
privates and nurses will receive 81
099, 200.
Orders have been received at Camp
Taylor from Washington to the COM
manding general at the camp, to start
Immediately the payment of the bon
Us to all persons leaving tfe service
This bonus will be paid every Of
ficer, enlisted man and nurse dis
charged from the American military
and naval forces.
The telegraphic order says in part:
"All persons serving in the military
or naval forces of the United States
during the present war who have
since April 6, 1917, resigned or been
discharged under honorable conditions
xiI be paid the $50 bonus"
The order says that officers will
have one year from the termination
of the war in which to make applica-
ton for the bonus.
Officers at the camp interpret the
order to mean that men who were
drafted into the service and were ae-
cepted and finally assigned and then
later honorably discharged for any
cause would receive the bonus.

stomach-ache or diarrhoea. Listen,

give a teaspoonful of California
Syrup of Figs" and in few hours
all the constipated waste, sour bile
and undigested food passes out of the
system, and you have well, playful
child again.
Millions of mothers give California
Syrup of Figs" because it is perfectly
harmless; children love It, and it new
er fails to act on the stomach. liver
