ters of reduction of armament were
discussed openly, and agreements
were reached the same way, and the
meeting closed with all nations rep
resented better friends. Secretary of
the Navy DENLY who has just. return
ed from Japan and China found that
the people of those two far eastern
countries feel closer to the United
States than ever before. There is no
doubt of the good results of that con-
ference. So, for that reason, if for
no other, Mr.. COX's words will have
little weight among those who read
and know what actually has been
done.
'As for the world club itself, the
third assembly recently came to a
close at Geneva. Many reports from
that meeting are misleading and
would make some people feel that the
club is a 'cure-all' for every kind of
national and international illness.
But such is far from the case. No less
a man than Lord Cecil, a member of
the British delegation, early in the
meeting asked that a new peace plan
be adopted to take the place of many
phases of the famous Article x of the
world club plan. The fact that Lord
Cecil should ask such a change shows
that the plan is a failure when it
comes to keeping peace and guaran-
teeing the independence of the clubs
various members. The United States,
through its Senate, fought Article x
when Mr.. Wilson first brought it back
from Europe. Now other countries
see its danger and Canada is leading
a fight against it.
After all is said and done, the
whole matter has simply been re-op-
ened by Mr.. Cox because he seems to
think that the people of the country
were merely joking when they defeat
ed him. America has spoken once
and spoken firmly on the question, but
we must keep awake or else the
forces behind this movement, those
who would tie us to international al
liances, will gain a strong foothold.
The time to forget this has not yet
come and the whole battle may have
to be fought over again. Europe is
a long way from adjustment and she
needs money. Uncle Sam has been
more or less Of an easy mark, and,
while we want to help all peoples as
much as we can, we must remember
that the fellow with money is always
and without money he might
not be desired so strongly as a club
member"

more of America and less of Europe.

In November, 1918, the people elect
ed a Republican Congress. The first
session of this newly elected Repub-
lican Congress began May 10, 1919.
With it began practically all Federal
aid for relief and assistance of those
who served in the World War. An
elaborate program was formulated
providing for hospital and medical aid
for all disabled and diseased ex-service
men. The program included those
suffering from mental diseases as a
result of their war experience; also
vocational training and rehabilitation;
also financial allotments for those en-
gagged in such training; also compensa-
tion for men totally or partially dis
abled, and for their dependents; and
for the dependents of those who died
a. {? result of injury or disease con-
tracted wi2e in the service of their
country.
There was expended to July 1,
1922, for the purposes of carrying out
this program the sum Of 81, ,435,8 ,854,3S
In addition an appropriation of S423,-
O3S,842, has just been made by the
Congress for the Veterans Bureau for
the coming fiscal year. This is a great
er appropriation than made for any
other purpose except in payment of
the public debt.
Following the war the administra-
tion Of relief for ex-service men was
divided among several bureaus and this
necessitated tremendous overhead eX-
pense, eating up a disproportionate
amount of money appropriated for aid
Of World War veterans, and it
Occasioned endless delay in hand
ling ex-service mems cases and
put them to unfair expense. To
remedy these evils the Republican
Congress passed a measure, combin-
ing all agencies dealing with ex-serV.
ice men under the Veterans Bureau
Following the war hundreds of thou
sands of veterans permitted their in
surance to lapse, largely because Of
he slipshod manner in which their
claims were handled under the Dem
Ocratic administration. At the re-
quest of representatives of the ex-serv-
ice men the Republican Congress made
It possible for all ex-servioe men
whose policies had lapsed to be rein
stated at any time prior to March 4,
1925.
The disqualification and medical
treatment of ex-service men was found
to be unsatisfactory and Congress

WILL LIMIT SALUTES

Army regulations are soon to be
amended to do way with much of the
exchanges of salutes between officers
and men in public places.
Experience during the war, when
large numbers of officers were in
Washington and other centres of mil
itary effort, has convinced War De-
partment officials that strict adher-
ence to existing regulations made the
required exchanges of salutes upon
every meeting a nuisance and led to
a general disregard of the regulations
among officers by common consent.
The revised regulations will restrict
the exchange of salutes for both Off
GERS and men to military reservations,
except where they may address one
another while in uniform on the
streets or in other public places.

What's all the talk about anyway"
It was Ruth talking to Jack after
their evening meal. "I heard Freddie
and some of the boys saying that the
next election would show 4 few things
about whether the world club was
dead or not"
WELL" replied Jack who wanted to
give the big brother answer, if poss
ible, 81 know from what Uncle Ted
has said that the world club is dead

in Geneva, Switzerland, and maybe he

Uncle Ted was found in the garage,
but as usual gave in to his little
chums and the three were soon gath

you say you thought it was dead. 1t
is, in one way, but it's menace still ex-
lists because of the fact that certain
Democratic leaders realize that their
party is absolutely up against it. for
an issue for the next general cam
paign. At this time there doesn't ap-
pear to be any other issue from their
standpoint, and James M. Cox, form
er governor of Ohio, who was defeated
by Mr.. Harding with the greatest vote
ever cast for President, has been in
Europe and made himself ridiculous
with his many statements. He has
tried very hard to reopen the case of
the world club before European aud
fences and it is to be hoped that the
people of Europe will realize that he
is speaking simply as citizen and
one who was overwhelmingly defeated
for the Presidency. But Europe is
thousands of miles away and those
people may not understand. When he
landed in New York he said, among
other things, that the big issue in the
forthcoming Congressional elections
would be the failure of the Admins
tration to participate in the affairs of
the world
"NIr. Cox made that statement fresh
from his visit to Europe and with a
European, not an American viewpoint.
He probably forgets that the thous-
ands of people who voted to put Mr..
Harding into the White House did so
because they wanted none Of those
alliances which all true Americans
know would mean disaster. America
has not forgotten the wisdom Of our
Fathers, of George Washington and
Lincoln. He also has probably forgot

Veterans Bureau. The number of beds
in these hospitals taken over by the
Veterans Bureau is in excess of 2S,
900.
There were many eX-servicee men
living in remote sections of the coun
try who were not aware of the bene
| fits they could receive and should bt
receiving from the government under
the Veterans Bureau. In order that
no worthy ex-service man entitled t.
benefits of any kind might be neglect
ed, the Veterans Bureau conducted
drive in which over 175,00O ex-service
men were interviewed and 10000 new
claims were filed and handled as
result.
AS a result Of this tremendous pro
gram Of Federal aid to ex-service men,
all of which has been put into effect
by the Republican Party and th'
money for which has been appropr!
ated by a Republican Congress, the
following summarization may be
given:
(1) Over 24O,OOO ex-service men
have received hospital treatment; 30
900 ex-service men are now receiving
treatment in hospitals; over 100000
ex-service men have been called for
examination in order to ascertain If
they should receive hospital or med
ical treatment.
(2) Over 10000 ex-service mer
have entered vocational training and
10000 more have been declared eligi>
BILE for vocational training.
90 Compensation for disabled ex-
service men or their dependents is
being paid out at a rate in excess Of
$1,000,000 in cash every day, includ
ing Sundays.
"a Over $4,000 medical examinations
are being made free every month in
order to ascertain the physical and
mental treatments needed by afflicted
ex-service men.
(5) Over 1000 new claims are bein'
handled every day by the Veterans
Bureau and all work in that bureau is
practically current and being conduct

IF KINDEYS ACT
BAD, TAKE SALTS
Says Backache is Sign You
Have Been Eating Too
Much Meat.

When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region
it generally means you have been eat
ing too much meat, says a well-known
authority. Meat forms uric acid
which overworks the kidneys in their
e.iort to filter it from the blood and
they become sort of paralyzed and
loggy. When your kidneys get slug
gish and clog you must relieve them,
like you relieve your bowels; remov-
ing all the body's urinous waste, else
you have backache, sick headache,
dizzy spells; your stomach sours,
tongue is coated, and when the wealth
er is bad you have rheumatic twinges.
The urine is cloudy, full of sediment,
channels often get sore, water scalds
and you are obliged to seek relief two
or three times during the night.
Either consult good, reliable physi-
clan at once or get from your pharm-
acist about four ounces of Jad Salts +;
take a tablespoonful in a glass of wa
ter before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, com
bined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to clean and stimulate
sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize
acids in the urine so it no longer ir
| ritates, thus ending bladder weakness
| Jad Salts is a life saver for regular
meat eaters. 1t is inexpensive, can
not injure and makes a delightful, eff
| fervescent Whitewater drink.-Adver

Perhaps the ladies in our farm
homes have overlooked the fact that
this is Prune Week, not merely in
Wayne county or in the Richmond dis-
trict, but national prune week and ad-
vertised as such in all parts OF the
country.
And how does it come that we are
favored with a prune week, IN the
opening days of March? And why
prune week, anyway? What's the
grand idea?
Well. to begin with, the California
Prune and Apricot Growers, Inc, have
some 1900 members. They raise
prunes, sell prunes, eat prunes, have
pinned their hopes To prunes and are
anxious to sell a world of prunes at
profitable prices Having both prunes
and money they are telling all Amer
lea about how deliciously good Cali
fornia prunes are, how healthful they
are and how economical in use.
These California co-operators are re-
sponsible for the hue and cry about
prunes; about their own particular
kind and brand of prunes. Time was
when these men were just prune grow
ers, in the days when prunes were
Just prunes, and nothing more. They
sold as individuals to every Tom, DICK
and Harry that offered any kind OF
a price Today there is a great or
ganization of prune growers which
has protected and broadened the prune
market, bettered and standardized the
grades and instituted an annual prune
week.
Disease-Free Seed Potatoes
There were 225 boys enrolled In
potato clubs in Butler county, Pa.
last year and for that reason the far
mers of the county have already plac
ed orders for ten cars of certified seeo
for spring planting. Each boy planted
one bushel of potatoes, certified seec
i from New York, which was planted
| beside homegrown seed for compari
son and to demonstrate the value O
| disease-free seed. Field meetings were
| held in August to show difference an6

When the potatoes were dug in Octo
