United States has been more liberal
than any other nation in its provisions
for the disabled soldiers, but that it has
failed in large measure to make these
provisions available in spite of the
benefit Of the experience Of other
nations in the recent war and the ex-
perienee of this nation in previous
wars.
I'm the rehabilitation OF a disabled
man there are three needs medical
treatment, vocational training and
financial support" the memorial
states. "The government has recog-
nized the three needs, but overlooks
the fact that they are the simultane-
Gus needs of one man, not Of three
different men or Of one man at three
different times. 1t makes three prob
lens out of what really is one problem.
Continuing this faulty conception,
it has given the problem over to three
agencies. All, by force Of circumstan-
ces, are exercising functions they were
not intended to exercise. This pre-
sents an amazing spectacle of admin
istrative chaos, duplication, wasted en-
ergy and conflict, which is the key
to the present condition.
1.-THE result is the suffering of the
disabled veterans. Thousands are
waiting and have waited for months
for compensation for their injuries.
Thousands have waited for months
for an opportunity to re-establish
themselves as self-sustaining members
Of society by vocational training.
Thousands are in need Of hospitaliza-
ton, and the government has no hos
pital facilities available for them. OF

Restrained Applause.

A noted humorous lecturer, who was
invited to deliver an address to an
audience Of convicts in a Western pen
itentiary, noticed that the auditors
laughed heartily, but did not applaud
After the lecture the warden of the
institution ventured an apology.
"They didn't seem very apprecia-
tive, did theyT' he asked.
81 thought they seemed to enjoy ii
very much" the lecturer replied.
But they might have clapped a lit
tle," the warden remarked, INSTEAD
of just sitting there with their hands
folded"
"Well, WE'LL" the lecturer laughed,
81 noticed that they sat with their
hands folded, but I thought they were
all manacled. And l still think
they were."-Pittsburgh Chronicle Tel.

Realism of the. Movies.

Dorothy was at moving picture
theater with. her nurse. There was
portrayed on the screen a train rapid
ly approaching a spot in the fore
ground where man sat On the track
unaware of the 0ncoming danger. To
the child the situation was real one,
and in excited whispers she entreated
her nurse:
please have him get off the track }
Please have him get OFF,
AS the train drew nearer the spot
where the man sat, the child, unable
to restrain the warning which she felt
was necessary, rose in her seat and
shouted at the top of her voice:

Important to all Women
Readers of this Paper

Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney or bladder trouble and never
suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy con-
dition, they may cause the other orgahs
to become diseased.
You may suffer pain in the back, head
ache and loss of ambition.
Poor health makes you nervous. irrita-
bic and may be respondent; 1t makes any
one so.
But hundreds of women claim that DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, by restoring
health to the kidneys, proved to be just
the remedy needed to overcome such
conditions.
Many send for sample bottle to see
what Swamp-Root. the great kidney,
liver and bladder medicine, viii do for
them. By enclosing ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y. you

GULF STREAM DELINQUENT.

England always prided herself upon her intimate relations with tIe Cuff stream. It was thought that the cur rent left the sunny shores of distant lands to wrap the British Isles in a warm embrace, bringing with 1t not only a warmer atmosphere, but tro- phies in the form of shells from the tropics to ornament the beaches of Britain. The faith of the British in IhiS direction ls being shaken, says Christian Science Monitor Weather prophets who have been unable to ac- count for the uncertain atmospheric conditions have been looking for a scapegOat for some months, and at last have pitched upon the Gulf stream aS the delinquent. It is reported that ships have failed to find 1t in the ocean, and the west wind is no longer intlu
 enccd by it. If the old and trusty friend, the Gulf stream, is going to join the strikers, then England indeed will feel this the unkmdeSt cut of all.

GOING TO CHURCH.

Or better, make 1t question:: Are you going to church today? Ii Is question whose answer in yOur action concerns you more than 1t does the church. The churches might find other uses; the ministers might find employ ment for their talents which would pay them higher salaries, goodness knows. But would our community and communities. our state and nation, be able to endure the loss? It is ques- ton which permits of no debate. In large measure it is answered by the fact that the churches have ever since the foundation of the first one grown in number, In variety, in number of members and attendants. It is true that the number in proportion to the population has not, in general, grown. Nevertheless, the influence of the churches is such that the number of those who feel their influence Is great CT in proportion to the population than 1t was three-quarters of a century ago, says New Haven Register. Yes, the church, In this country, at least, stands as it's own justification, and its accom- pliShment is proof of the necessity of Its continued existence.

The preachments of the psychia- trlsts that an active mind and body are conducive to sustained mental health have never before been so de cislvely demonstrated as in the sui eide slump of the war era. In Eng land and Wales the rate declined by 9 per cent and in America from 1916 to 1919 the suicide rate was lessened by 37 per cent. The actuat!ng source of this sudden sunlight in darkened lives was, beyond all doubt, the en- forced opportunity for service in the common cause, says Portland Oregoni- an. The war engulfed host of petty, personal miseries, drew men and wom- en from the folly of self-pity and the dangers of morbid lntroSpection and gave to each the powerful tonic of a task. So suicide fell.

The old saying that music hath charms seems to be fully borne out by the apparently growing popularity of group singing in the United States, say Christian Science Monitor. Clubs are taking It up. One New York club, at its monthly dinners, interperses courses with songs Ns a regular and popular part of its programs commun- ity sings are held in parks and in churches on Sunday afternoons, and now even the department stores are the scenes of sings" at least in Chat tanoogu, Tennessee, where in two of the stores employers and employees come together Nt a stated hour every morning before work begins, and this is believed to be the cause of an in crease ,n good fellowship and in efti- clenCy.

An extensive survey made by the United States Department of Agrlcul- ture shows that 96 per cent of the farm women do the family washing and more than half of them are still using wash board. SIyty-one per cent of the farm women carry water an av- craze of 70 feet. Niuety-twO per cent do the family sewing and mending, and a large majority do the family bak- ing. The farm woman's work day av- erages 11la hours, the survey shows. The department is cooperating with state colleges of agriculture in an ef- fort to bring about better conditions for women on the farm, especially more home convenienceS. As a result of this work 1000 farm kitchens were re modelled last year.
