Secretary Houston Appears Be-
fore Committee Taking Up
Soldier Aid.
RANCE OF ESTIMATES
Figures for Various Plans Run From
$1,342,o 100000 for Adjusted Pay
Provision to $4,534, 900 900 for
insurance Provision.

Washington Approximately $780,
100000 was the estimate submitted by
Secretary Houston of the Treasury de-
partment as the cost of carrying out
provisions Of the soldiers bonus bill.
The secretary presented his estimate
to the Senate finance committee and
urged that no legislation be enacted
which would lay an additional burden
on the nations finances The estimate
was accompanied by figures showing
the cost of carrying out any one Of the
five optional provisions of the bonus
bill provided all former service men
chose single plan.
The figures for the various plans
range from $1,342 900, 900 for the ad-
juSted pay provision, to $4,534 600 900
for the insurance provision The max
lmum possible cost Of the vocational
training aid and the farm and home
development plans were placed at ST.
$50, 100000 each while the secretary
said the fifth provision, plan for land
settlement held so many uncertainties
that it was impossible TO estimate the
possible expenditure
Submission of the estimated total
cost made an apparent impression
upon members of the committee, which
is considering the bonus bill as passed
by the House at the last session Mem
bers declined to forecast the decision
OF the committee on the question OF
reporting ont the measure, but it was
recalled that Senator McCumber, Re-
publican. OF North Dakota, stated at
the opening of hearings on the bill that
its passage would depend largely on
tho state of government finances and
that Mr.. Houston had testified the
Treasury, with normal expenditures,
would have a deficit of So, 100, 900, 600
for the year ending next June 80, and
deficit OF $1,500,000.OOO for the fol-
lowing II mouths

ART AND SCIENCE IN TOYS
PIaythings for the Riddles Necessary
to the Proper Conduct of
Their Society.

w H1LE the making of toys is an
w art that is probably practically
as old as the world itself, it has been
only within recent years that science
has bothered itself about them. Less
than half century ago they were re-
garded merely as playthings-amus-
ing diversions for children that were
by no means necessary to their we'll
being. Today, however, science insists
that there is Il Wel-defined philosophy
underlying the use of toys; that they
are the tools with which the little ones
ply their trade; the paraphernalia nee
essary to the proper conduct of their
society; that dolls, for example, are
fpore to them than the associates that
help to entertain them in that they
aid them in the attainment of their
mental growth by stimulating the
natural emotions which must be eX-
perienced in later life.
Whether this theory of the scientists
is correct or not, the fact remains that
children have always had the play
things requisite for their limitations of
the domestic life and business affairs
of older people; that they have always
required their elders TO provide them
with such inventions, and that, when
they could not obtain these toys by
any other means they themselves have
sought and found objects that might
be made to suit their purposes. Even
the somnolent middle Ages did not put
an end to their pastimes. The toys in
which they found diversion may have
been more simple, but, as they met
the. demands of nature, they played
their allotted part in the scheme of
human development.-Puh Opinion.

The plan of General Caviglia is
gradually to tighten his grip Of Fiume
until D'Annunzio is reduced to help

from the north, cutting off the top of
the triangle of which Fiume is formed
and occupied Grobnico Santa Croce

The movement from the direction

vanced on the thinly held line of

by Alpini, who occupied the high. land

SALTS + KIDNEYS
 OR BLADDER BOTHER
Harmless to flush Kidneys and neutral ize irritating acids-Splendid
 for system

Kidney and Bladder weakness result from uric acid, says noted authority. The kidneys filter this acid from the blood and pass it on to the bladder, where it often remains to irritate and infiame, causing burning, scalding sensation, or setting up an irritation at the neck of the bladder, obliging you to seek relief two or three times during the night The sufferer is in constant dread, the water passes sometimes with a scalding sensation and is very profuse; again, there is difficulty in avoiding it.
 Bladder weakness, most folks call it, because they can't control urinstion. While it is extremely annoying and some times very painful, this is really one of the most simple ailments to overcome. Get about four ounces of lad Salts from your pharmacist and take a table, spoonful in a glass of water before breakfast, continue this for two or three days. This will neutralize the acids in the urine so it no longer is a source of irritation to the bladder and urinary or gans which then act normally again.
 lad Salts is inexpensive, harmless, and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with hthia, and is used by thousands of folks who are subject to urinary disorders caused by uric acid irritation. lad Salts is splen- did for kidneys and causes no bad effects whatever.
 Here you have a pleasant, effervescent Whitewater drink, which quickly relieves bladder trouble
