THE ARMY RELIEF BILL.

Regarding relief and care for men dis
abled by their war service there is no
difference of opinion. Everybody, in
public life and private life, wants them
to have everything that can possibly help
them to recover their health and eff
cheney. And for all health or efficiency
permanently lost. the nation expects to
pay literally. Regarding most of the
provisions in the relief measure now
pending in congress. there is no agree
ment.
The nation does not want to appear
ungrateful or stingy with regard to the
millions of. men who wore their country's
uniform in war time. Any legitimate ar
rangement whereby they can be helped
to take up farms o. engage in such other
employment as they desire should be fos-
tered by the government, With full pub
lie approval.
Regarding the cash bonus. however,
there is a wide difference of opinion.
There is serious opposition to it, exempli-
fed most strongly by the United States
Chamber of Commerce, which presum-
ably speaks for the majority of business
and professional men in the country
These classes, who pay most of the taxes
and who have a direct interest in the
way the government spends its money, do
not consider the cash bonus justified
either by the plight of the service men
or by the state of the United States
treasury
They point out that the government is
having trouble enough to meet its imper-
ative expenses, and they do not see how
an additional couple of billions can be
squeezed out, at this time, without dan
ger to the national finances and possible
disaster to business. No matter what
arrangement is made TO pay the money,
they argue, the very fact that another
such obligation is assumed is bound to
proIOng the industrial depression.
Employment, not cash gifts, they say,
is what the service men need; and en-
.ployment can only be provided by meth
DDS that are economically sound.

EVERY BONE IN

Vermont Man Gets Rid of
Rheumatism-Change Is
Amazing, He Says

II want to join the crowd that has a
good word for Tanlac, for it has helped
Inc, too said S. j. Someville, prominent
citizen of St. Johnsbury, Vt, living at B
Prospect avenue.
EFT is simply amazing the way Tanlac
built me up. The flu left me, like it did
so many other people, in a weak and run
down condition. 1t seemed to affect my
stomach and I actually was afraid that |
was in for chronic dyspepsia. Rheuma-
tism got me in its clutches, too, and act
ually every bone in my body ached and
in the morning / could hardly move, and
/ suffered a great deal from dizzy spells
and palpitatiOn of the heart and was very
much alarmed at my condition.
'Tanlac put me on the road to health
in short order and now l am just like
another man. My wife says l have such
an appetite it keeps her busy getting up
enough for me to eat and l haven't a
trace of Indigestion. The rheumatism has
gone, too. and ] am as active as l ever
was. The old nervousness. dizziness and
palpitation of the heart are gone. too. and
/ am even rid of the constipation from
which l suffered for years. l don't want
any other medicine but Tanlac when | am
sick, and from now on it is my standby"

Sad Beneiciaries.
Keene Sentinel.)


"Benefciaries'' of Charles Ponzi, the
financial wizard, not only in Massa-
chusetts but in Manchester. this state,
and perhaps other places where agents
of the ich-quick-promoter" worked,
viii have to take the bitter with the
sweet, as the old saying goes. \ hundred
or more of them in this state have
awakened to find the sheriff in legal pos
session of bank accounts, automobiles,
etc, that perhaps were the result of Pom
zied finance.
1t is all in the move of the trustees in
bankruptcy of Ponzi to get back some of
the money he swindled thousands out of
while his scheme was working. The
trustees are making every effort to get
back all possible Of the 30 per cent profit
paid to Investors for the use of their
money for 40 days or so. 1t is ques-
ton for the courts whether this money
will be turned in toward paying off those
who had money invested" when the Of
ficers shut up the Ponzi shop.
1t all goes to show that get-rich-quick
schemes seldom work out for long. Those
who want to see a hundred dollars grow
into thousands over night seldom have
the eyesight to carry out their idea. On
the other hand, those who are willing to
put their hundred to work., adding more
to it as practical, leaving the dividends
and generally acting like wise fnaneiers,
generally find that the 'slow but sure"
route is far better, even though it leads
them around steep grades that promot-
ers' games would make ION high"

WAR RFFERENDUMS.

The popular referendum for a declara-
ton of war which is favored by the
American federation of labor is excellent
in theory, but is it possible in practice?
Contrary to what seems to be the fed
eration's assumption, it does not take
two nations to make a war. One coun-
try alone can start it. France had no
choice when Germany started her army
for Paris. via Belgium. Neither had
Russia, when that other German column
started eastward. There have been many
cases in history of equally fragrant acts
committing a country to war as the only
alternative of defeat and disaster. There
might conceiveably be some such act of
aggression against the United States at
some time.
foreign power might suddenly at
tack our fleet or land troops on our
shores. What then? Should the gov
eminent wait for the formality of a pop
ular vote before ordering its armed
forces to defend the country?
Only in case of proposed aggression
would the referendum work. For pur-
poses of defense in crisis it would be
too slow.
There might be an intermediate situa-
ton, where the offense was not so vital
nor the element of time so important,
and where there was some doubt as to
the justice or need of resorting to arms
Perhaps the Spanish war would serve
as an example. In such case a refer
endum might be possible and wise. But
the possibility of a crucial emergency

STARS.
By LEE PAPE.

STARS
Stars add variety to the sky. They
also add lite. If there wasent eny stars
and moon in the sky It would be so dark
nobody could see weather there was eny
up there anyways.
For all we know nobody lives on the
stars. but for all they know nobody lives
on the erth either D proving ignorants
don't prove enything.
Some people admire the stars because
they twinkle. not being enything to be
dissatisfied about on account of the erth
would prOberly twinkle two if you got
as far away from it as wat you are from
the stars, Ony its not werth vile TAX
ing chance going that far jest TO find
out
The stars ony come out at mite, but
they are up there in the morning and
AFTERNOON Jest the same. This proves
nobody awt TO werk more than half
day.
IL you see the ferSt star that comes
out and make wish on it you are, sip
posed to get your wish, wich you are
proberly more libel to do If you take
easy one like wishing you're going to have
dizzert for supper than if you take
hard one like wishing you will find a by
sickle that don't belong to enybody.
There are 50 meny stars altogether
that nobody knows jest how meny, but
YOU would be lucky if you ony had a cent
for every one
One of the main uses of the stars il
so you can tell for sure if its stopped
raining.
