IN HIS REPORT
DEFENDS BILL
Secretary Of Interior Refutes
Charge That Soldiers Land
Settlement Measure Plunge
Into Socialism.

fCapits1 News Special ServfcaJ y
Washington, Dec. SIN his annual
report to congress which will be made
Monday Secretary Franklin K. Lane
Of the Interior department defends the
proposed soldiers land settlement leg
islation against the charge that it is
special privilege and a plunge into Soc
ialism. He goes even further and de-
fends the Mondell soldiers settlement
bill, which has been favorably reported
hy the house committee on public land.
He says:
.The primary object Is not to reclaim
land, but to reward our returned SOL
d1ers with opportunity to obtain en-
ployment and larger interest in the pro-
prietorship of the country. The policy
is based on a sense of gratitude for
heroic service, not on economic con-
siderations. This is the answer to those
who have criticized it as class legisla-
ton or the proposal to grant special
privileges to one element of our cit
izenship or as a plunge into socialism.
Franhly, we aVow our purpose to do
for the soldier what we would not
think of doing for anybody elese and
what would not be justified solely as
a matter of reclamation.
MANY measures of soldier legisla-
tion have been introduced into congress
but only one of these has been fav-
orably reported. This was introduced
by Representative Mondell of Wyo-
ming on the first day of the present
special session .embodying the plan of

A Need for Greater Relaxation.
Barre Times.)

The sudden hating of the Long trial
in Washington county court because of
the illness of one of the jury seems 10
point to the need for greater relaxation
and recreation on the part of the II
men who to all intents and purposes are
prisoners while they are trying to de-
eide the merits of the case as presented
to them by the eontending attorneys.
The vigilance maintained over juries in
capital eases is far more strict than in
the so-ealled minor eases, and the men
are allowed few real liberties in the
open air. They are given certain
amount of exercises in the open air but
that does not seem to meet all the re
quirements. Relaxation is certainly
necessary for men who are required tc
sit quietly seven or eight hours day
long walk under proper surveillance
or an automobile ride would probably
| tend to guard the health of the 2 meT
greatly and thus prevent the possibility
of requiring a new start after the tria
is once started.

In the Days News.

Vice Admiral Sir David Beatty, who
has announced his intention to pay an
early visit to America, had more con-
spicuous part in the late war than any
other officer of the British navy. He
will be the best remembered, of course,
for his great victory in the battle of
the North Sea, in 1916. He was also in
command of the British squadron in
the battle fought off Heigoland in Au-
gust, 1914, and again in January Of
1915 in the action off Dogger bank
Beatty has been called the "infant
prodigy" of the British navy. He has
been successfully the youngest com
mander, the youngest captain, young
est rear admiral and youngest vice ad
miral in the service. Sir Davis is, OF
course, an Irishman, being the son OF
Captain ID. L. Beatty of County Wex
ford. Of all British naval men, h,
holds the greatest interest for Amer
cans because his wife was Ethed Field
daughter of Marshall Field of Chicago
multi millionaire merchant.

Eat
More Bread

Since 1913, the price of wheat has
advanced 157 per cent. At the same
time flour has advanced 1877 per cent
and bread Is per cent. An analysis
of the principal foodstuffs will show
the same relative advance percentage
of the finished products, semi finished
products as compared with the raw ma
terial As the high state of finished
products is approached the percent
age of advance decreases as compared
with the material.
That cheap bread does not bring
about other cheap foods is shown by
the cheap bread in Europe which has
been made possible for three or four
years by the government substituting
bakers and millers. Bread in those
countries has always been on a pre-waT
basis and has not affected the high
price of other commodities.
Now as we see it, if the people could
get as much out of the dollar spent fol-
other necessities as they get out of the
dollar spent for flour, there would be NJ
complaint of the High Cost of Living
Prices for flour and bread have not
kept pace with the advancing market
The best and cheapest food obtainablc
today is BREAD.

Tobacco Habit
DANGEROUS

says Doctor Conner, formerly of Johns
Hopkins hospital. Thousands of men
suffering from fatal diseases would be
in perfect health today were it not for
the deadly drug Nicotine. Stop the
habit now before it IS too late. It's a
simple process to rid yourself of the
tobacco habit in any form. just go
to any up-to-date drug store and get
some Nicotol tablets; take them as di-
rected and 10; the pernicious habit
quickly vanishes. Druggists refund the
money if they fail. Be sure to read
large and interesting announcement by
Doctor Conner soon to appear in this
paper. 1t tells of the danger of ME-
otine poisoning and how to avoid it.
In the meantime try Nicotol tablets;
you will be surprised at the result.

Grafton spends waists sums of money
