The Bonus Problem

1t is estimated by presumably COM
petent authority that half a billion
dollars should be expended by the
Government this year to provide for
Gal, 300 veterans of the world war
discharged with disabilities. There
should be neither stinting nor lack of
supervising. Every effort to meet the
need promptly and effectively should
be made. Nothing should be omitted
to interfere with the performance OF
this manifest duty to the soldiers and
sailors incapacitated through their eff
forts to do their duty by their coun-
try.
Would the proposed bonus legisla-
ton help or hinder the doing Of this
Aside from the proposed bills other
merits or dement's, this feature is
worthy Of careful consideration, fol
the prime necessity Of the case Is to
do for those who otherwise would be
unable to do for themselves. Those
Of the veterans able to care for them
selves would, we think, agree to this
though many, no doubt, will insist
there should be provision for all and
that it may be had.
AS to the merit of bonus we have
no dispute. but as to the time and
method of granting it there is, we
believe, opportunity for careful and
mature consideration. Furthermore
considering the present condition OF
things, it is extremely probable the
passage of the proposed bonus legis-
lation would be embarrassing and
very likely to delay, and otherwise
interfere, with the prompt and effec-
tive application of relief to those in
capacitated. There is limit to what
may be accomplished with even the
much criticism of what it already has
failed to do.
If there were way whereby the
bonus fund might be taken from
those who derived exceptional income
from the war we would be for the
taking. when the taking should be
good, but such a method has not yet
been devised and if it were we would
probably find that it would aggravate
very serious condition and add per-
plexities to the problems we already
have in superabundance.
1t is we'll to keep in mind that no
bonus arrangement may be devised
at any time or under any conditions
which may mete out exact justice;
that were all granted that is asked
there would yet be many instances
where the call to the service had
caused serious injury, PREPARATION for
which may never be had.

Hew to Light Fire, ct cetera

(Henry Van Dyke in Scribners)
Do you want to know now to light
It? can tell you a trick that is
worth learning in these days Of costly
kindling.
You must have a bed of ashes to
begin with. This is difficult to secure
and protect if you are married. But
it can be done by making concessions
on other points. Now pull out your
fire-dogs a little and put the round
backlog behind them resting on the
ashes. Stuff a few sheets of dry
newspaper, told copies of the Social
Uplifter are best,) under it's curving
side. Above this place just four-no
more-sticks of kindling-wood. not
horizontally mind you, but perpen-
dicularly. or rather "slantendicular-
ly.r leaning against the backlog. In
front of this, lying on the andirons
and close against the kindlings, place
your forelog. Then apply the match
to the paper. In two minutes you
will have a beautiful little blaze. Now
you can lay on your third log.-but
gently. gently.-and your fire is well
started for the day.
Air is the great thing, remember
free circulation. a good draft,-both
for fire-building and for thought
kindling. We smother our poor minds
by piling on ideas and theories. We
choke our high school and college
education with preposterous over
load Of Courses" We cucumber our
social programme with vast heaps of
universal reform, and complain that
I'VE can't get anything done," be-
cause we fail in the FOOLS effort to do
everything at once.

Not all the abandoned farms are
in New England. Michigan has some
$4,000 of them, 10000 of which have
been deserted within a year because
of prohibitive cost of operation and
high wages paid in industries. A
campaign is being started to repopu-
late some of these areas and get
them back into cultivation, the
State having become alarmed over
the idle acreage and vacant houses
A little genuine alarm of this sort
may prove to be good thing, in
Michigan and elsewhere.

Teaching Health


Grandfather used to say that a
man is only as strong as his stom-
ach,--- which was all right as far as
it went. But it is also true that
man is only as strong as his heart,
his lungs, his teeth and various other
parts Of his anatomy. It is further
more true that nation is only as
strong as its men and women, and
that in order to be fit for all emer-
gencies men and women have to be-
gin to be strong when they are chill
dren and to keep it up through the
years. Perfect health is not to be
acquired over night, nor can one
start at the age Of forty and make up
for previous ignorance or careless
ness to the complete satisfaction of
natures requirements.
The importance of early begin
nings in health education is so
strongly in the mind Of Surgeon
General BREASTED, head of the Ameri-
can Medical Association. that he
made it the subject Of his address to
the recent meeting Of that body III
New Orleans and urged the teaching
OF health in the kindergarten and
primary schools as reading and Writ
ing are now taught Instead Of
teaching at it and around it, our
courses Of instruction should be re-
vised SO that they really teach the
rules Of health and by practice make
the observance Of those rules a re-
hex as natural as the response to
certain marks which children recog-
nize as letters of the alphabet.
According to Surgeon General
Brmsted's plan clean hands and
faces. well-brushed teeth. proper car
rage. proper breathing and clean fin-
ger nails should receive rewards and
make for class standing. He con-
siders these fully as essential to
proper nature development as ability
to remember the length Of the Anna
zon or the number Of men engaged
and lost in all the important battles
Of the Civil War. "Our public schools
must become the health centers of
their respective communities" he
said. Every measure carried out in
them should be fully explained SO
that the wisdom Of preventive meas
ures shall be fully appreciated by the
pupil and he may become an advo-
cate Of them for the rest of his life. !"
Certainly the value of health is
better appreciated since the war than
ever before and greater attention is
being paid to physical well being. In
any distinctly personal welfare work
interest and popularity are half the
battle. People are much more ready
to do a thing, no matter what, il it is
being DONE" The popularity of
community health work such is be-
ing carried on in this State is sure
to grow in proportion as health work
is done in the schools and as children
acquire in school habits Of personal
care which they take home with
them. School teachers can be, and
most OF them are, very busy people,
but when health instruction becomes
an essential and has a place Of its
own instead Of being crowded into a
schedule already stuffed to bursting,
both teacher and pupils will take
proper time to give the subject prop
err attention.

Democratic Success Can't Settle 1t

In his latest discussion Of the
League of Nations as a political is
sue, Mr.. Taft calls attention to a fact
that is worthy Of attention by any
body who is inclined to think that
the next election will decide the
question in accordance with the
Presidents view.
Mr.. Taft's point is that the next
election will not settle the issue be-
cause it will not by any imaginable
chance return to the Senate enough
Wilson men to constitute a two
thirds majority. A very brief ex-
animation Of the facts will show that
he is right.
Thirty-two senators will be elected
next November and thirty Demo-
Gratis will hold over. If all of the hold
over Democrats and all of the new
men should vote for unconditional
ratification they would muster sixty
two votes, which is two short of the
number needed for ratification.
