NEGLECT OF DISABLED M3N
Ieeion's investigation Shows Lack Of
Attention to Men Who Suffered
Terrors of War. .

Investigations by the American Le-
giOn reveal shocking conditions of mis-
management and neglect in the gov
ernment'S treatment of disabled vet
Grams, according to reports of the Lee
gions findings made public by f. w.
Galbraith,. Jr., national commander.
The Legion has launched a nationwide
fight for the correction of these cODdi-
tions, which Mr.. Galbraith has de-
scribed as "a blot and disgrace on
the name of our country"
More than 10000 veterans are still
in hospitals suffering from wounds and
infrmities suffered in their countrys
service Many of them have been there
since they were brought back from
France on the hospital ships. Their
number is increasing at the rate of =
| 500 a month. due mostly TO the develop
ment of tuberculosis among men who
were gassed. Statistics show that
more than 100000 men were dis
! charged with disability rated higher
| than 10 per cent. Experts agree that
the peak in disqualification will not
come for five or ten years. Yet, gov
eminent hospitals at present are filled
! to overlooking and even contract ar
engagements are not being made rap
| idly enough to care for the ever rising
tide of disabled men whose conditions
| demand disqualification.
Certainly. there is no lack of will
| lingness on the part of the American
public to do all in human power to aid
| those who paid the price for the vic
| tory The same experts who estimate
that the peak of the problem will not
| come for five or ten years say in the
meantime $1,000, 100000 must be spent
in its solution. The government has
not been niggardly. More than $500
| 0u0,000 already has been spent. Mis-
| management is the gist of the Legion 5
| charge. Lack of vision and foresight
| and the evcr-preSent governmental red
| tape is blamed as responsible for the
death of disabled men before aid could
reach them. for the Incarceration of
disabled i'm jails and insane asylums.
and the charity wards of public hos
| pitfalls where they received the same
treatment as paupers.
| In addition TO its activities in advo-
eating reform in the conduct of the
government bureaus. the American Lee
gion has dedicated itself to the ire
mendous task of "humanizing' the
dreary lives of 10000 disabled buddies
who are patients In the hospitals all

Artists Wife Tells
of Using Scotch Liniment
For Relief of Pain

Many who have visited West Point,
Va, are familiar with the delightful
Barker Studio where they saw many
beautiful portraits and Virginia Views.
The managers wife, Mrs. Il. Benton

Ease. the Scotch Linment. We quote
from a letter from Mrs. Barker-she
wrote: We have been using it for 0
number of years. My sister, Miss NJ

Urges Manufacturers to
Buy to Spur All Industry

ers' refusal to grant credits on present
inventory values, due to the commercial
confusion, has in itself had all of the
paralyZing effects of general economic
strike
The fourth strike has been that of the
manufacturers against the producer OF
raw materials. With virtual paralysis
of buying on one side and collapSing
values. involving large quantities of raw
materials held in factories, on the other
hand, the position of the manufacturers
has not been an enviGble one during the
last six months. So uncertain has he
been over the reimbursement of values
and prices, that he has been bcwildered.
This has caused many n manufacturer,
not heavily stocked with goods bought
at high prices, to mark time and refrain
from making even advantageous pur-
chaScS.
IAN this has badly clogged our COM
mercial machinery. The stagnation has
inflicted unnecessary loss and hardship
on the very factors that have contributed
to it. Accompanied with an exaggerated
degree of peSSimiSm. which OverloOkS
the fundamental SOundneSS of the nation,
these conditions brought about an acute
Cessetion of industrial operation. But
in view of the recent substantial de
clinPS in retail and Wholesale prices,
neither the retailer nor the consumer,
can afford to carry the don't buy pol
ICY TOO Idf. IN Jne long run, CLOSED mills
aud Stagnant demand cannot make con-
stantly decreasing prices without cats
ing commercial bankruptcy all along the
line.
Many of the important markets for
raw materials have now reached prac-
tical and normal levels and show firm
tendencies. Therefore, it is now the
psychological time for every far-sighted
manufacturer TO resume his purchasing
operations on a discriminating scale. in
order to sustain industry and return
our national business TO n more healthy
Z normal and prosperous condition.
No other single commercial element
has a greater interest at stake or n more
direct obligation to perform than the
, manufacturer in the present situation.
No other factor can accomplish more in
| a practical way than the manufacturer
who appreciates the timelincSs for the
application of the adage that buying

the better if the manufacturer now ap,

NEW YORK. Jan. 10.-Manufac-
turers should now resume their buying
of raw products in a discriminating
way to keep the wheels of industry turn
ing and aid in maintaining the economic
balance of the country.
This IS the optimistic and hopeful
message sent ont by J. Philip Bird, gen
eral manager of the National AsSocia-
ton of Manufacturers, who advanced the
suggestion i'll u review of the general
business situation.
1.-THE time has now come" said Mr..
Bird, for every far-sighted manufac-
turer to return to the kind of discrimin-
atory buying necessary TO sustain in
dustry and restore prosperous business
conditions
We have passed almost through Il
brief period of the closing down of fac
tories and mills in the readjustment. We
are now seeing industries reOpening and
resuming work on almost normal scale.
We win have more and more of this as
we adjust ourselves and our methods to
the new situation. We have seen great
changes, so far, without widespread la
Dor upheaval; and this IS one of the
most healthful signs for the future, be-
employees have not been forced to
shoulder the greater part of the burden
These things follow in the natural cycle
of events that trail all great wars.
For months past there have been
four distinct nation wide economic
strikes in progress. The consumer has
been striking against the retailer. He
has been buying 'unrestrainedly only the
necessaries of life. He has been cutting
down on many things needed for COM
fort and has almost eliminated other
purchases. His strike has been based
on n decply-rOOted belief that the pro-
cess of dehation in retailers stocks has
been artihciaily restrained and has not
yet reached a point that would warrant
or invite normal buying.
The second strike has been of the
retailer against the wholesaler and man
ufacturer. This also has been based on
the feeling that values and prices of
manufacturer products must reach lower
levels before normal purchasing or re-
stocking would be justified.
The third strike has been in the ma
ture of Il general boycott by bankers
against manufacturers and all other
forces of Our commercial life. The bank

has been assigned 10 the definite job
of taking care of a certain hospital
where former service men are patients
The Womens auxiliary also will be
modified to share in the work and
civic and philanthropic organizations
in the hospital towns will be enlisted.
There is also the dangerous posi-
bility that the hospital patients, re-
naming day after day with no interest
other than their physical condition,
will become bitter against the country
which once honored them and which
apparently has cast them aside. In
several hospitals, Bolshevist agents
have distributed inflammatory htera-
ture by ingenious methods, of which
an example is the Enclosure of the
printed matter in bouquets of flowers.

Horace Bell, who lives in the Pleas

shot Wednesday. Mr.. Bell had a
shot gun in the seat by him in an
automobile. When the door of the car
was opened the gun fell, causing it to
be discharged, the entire charge pass
ing through the muscle Of the fore
arm. Luckily the bone and the artery
were missed, otherwise the accident
would have proved more serious. The
fleshy part of Mr.. Bells arm is badly
torn and the injury is very painful.
