LEGION AFTER iMPOSTORS.
Headquarters Notes Several
Claims for Compensation
Have Been FaIsified.
By Associated Press to Every Evening.


Indianapolis, Ind, July 9.-National
Headquarters OF the American Legion
has taken steps to prevent misuse
sIf government benefits. for ex-service
men. according TO statement made
today by Lenuel Belles, national ad-
jutant.
ut has been brought TO our at
tention that a few men have deIiber-
afeiy falsified claims for compensa-
ton. vocational training and medical
treatment" said Mr.. Bolles. Con
sidering the large number Of wound
ed veterans who are entitled to every
benefit the government can give, the
number of imposters is not large. But
few as they are, their action works
a hardship on the disabled.
Cases Of deception have been more
numerous lately, due to the rush of
claims, following the Legion's fight
for government efficiency. However,
the Legion will find time and means
to expose any imposters who come to
us for assistance in pressing their
claims"
All Legion posts have been instruct
ed to furnish government bureaus
with information they obtain about
men concerning whose disability any
doubt exists. The post activities in
favor of the genuinely disabled will
continue.

STUCGO HOME Of
PLEASING LINES
Many Attractive Features Are
Seen in This Design.
ROOMS ARE LIGHT AND AIRY
House Is Built of Hollow Tile With
Stucco Exterior and Presents a
VERY Appealing Picture-No.
Expensive to Build.

Mr.. William \. Radford will answer
questions and give advice FREE OF
COST on all subjects pertaining to the
subject of building. for the readers of this
paper. On account of his wide experience
as Editor, Author and Manufacturer, he
is. without doubt, the highest authority
on all these subjects. Address all inquiries
to William A. Radford, No. 1927 Prairie

two-cent stamp for reply.
When the word home is men,
toned today it Immediately arouses
the intense interest of most people.
Fol upperInost in the minds of nun
dreds of thousands is the question of
where they are going to live. Build
ing has been at a standstill since be-
fore the war. Rents have been soar
ing until they have reached a point
where many cannot pay. Naturally
they turn to the thought which they
had ignored years before, viz, that
Of buying or building a home. Once
established in a house of their own,
then worries owe landlords, in
creased rents, etc, cease. And in
view of the shortage existing today
more people than ever before are Civ
ing the idea of building a "home of
your own very serious consideration.
A man who owns his home is not Ii
able to become a Bolshevist, on the
contrary he is more than liable to be-
come a very serious-minded citizen
taking an active interest in civic af-
fairs and jealousy guarding the inter
ests of his community. No one ever
went to war over a boarding house,
but men all through the centuries
have died defending their homes.
That is the beauty of home ownership,
that is the feature that makes it es-
sential to the continued welfare and
progress of any nation.
One of the most attractive materials
that car be used in home construction.

Good Use for AirpIanes.

Thirty-three per cent Of the JOG

year by airplanes operated from Sac
ramento, Cal, by the United States
forest service, were located within a
quarter of a mile of the exact place,
as was later determined by actual
surveys on the ground. Ten per cent
of the total number of Tres was dis
covered by the air patrol before the
rangers were aware Of them. Forty
two per cent WIS reported by radio.
while planes were in the air. Besides
acting as reporters, the planes were
used to direct fire fighting operations
and to patrol fire lines which were
built but needed watching. If the
planes reported a line to be clear.
the fire Fighters were kept at work
elsewhere, but if the observer re-
ported that the fire had broken away,
a force of men could be rushed to the
spot at nee.

Medicine Proved Worth
During Epidemic.
"Sedituss Cough BaIsam" Most
Effective in Combating Flu.


The medicine which proved most
effective in the recent 'fu' epidemic
is a product Of Atlantic City and Is
known as "Sedituss Cough Balsam."
1t was used extensively, with wonder
full results. 1t is pleasant to take, and
is very good for children. 1t is valua-
BILE as a sedative in affections of the
throat, relieving obstinate coughs by
promoting expectoration, and serving
as a calmative in bronchial irritation.
For coughs, colds, bronchitis, infuen-

ness, 1t has absolutely no superior.
The genuine "Sedituss Cough Balsam"
may be secured in three-ounce bottles
for 35 cents at the Arctic Drug Shop,
