The American Legion is now engaged
in national inquiry as to the prefer
ance4 Of war veterans with regard to
compensation. Whatever the decision
# the majority may be. it will carry
weight with congress and with the pub
lie.
Results 50 far are somewhat reassur-
ing rs regards the state of mind of the
veterans themselves and the probable
effect of bonus legislation on the cOun-
try In Kansas, for example, it is
found that hardly any of the men want
the cash bonus. Almost everywhere the
men are said to prefer the paid-up in
surance and home-aid provisions. Ac-
cordingly, it is predicted that the meas
ure will probably limit cash payments
to $50, making no great drain on the
treasury Immediately.
The public objections to proposed
bonus measures have been based mainly
on the prospect of a big bonus paid in
cash or credit. There is naturally far
less objection to giving the men insur-
ance policies and aid in obtaining homes
for themselves. or special privileges of
land settlement such as may be provided
in a separate land reclamation bill.

HOSPITAL DAY.

The present plan to have hospitals all
over the country honor the memory of
Florence Nightingale on May u, Hos
pital day, by keeping open house for the
public. is a good one. In this way it is
hoped to show to citizens, at first hand,
not only the problems of hospital man
agement but the service rendered by
such institutions.
Hospital methods and sanitation have
changed much since Florence Nightin-
gale began her study of nursing and her
work on behalf of the sick. Cleanliness
and fresh air, cheerfulness and quiet
care are better appreciated now and
more commonly regarded as essentials to
hospital equipment than they were in
her day. There has been also a great
development in medical and surgical
skill The modern hospital fills an i'm
portant place in the life of any COM
munity, and any occasion which can be
turned to making it still more useful and
available should be observed.

Veterinary Surgeon Tells
How His Health Was
Completely Restored by
Taking Tanlac - Has
Gained Sixteen Pounds

"Tanlac has not only relieved me of
y severe case of stomach trouble of two
years standing, but l have gained six
teen pounds, and never felt better in my
life is the firm statement of DIR. George
NJ. Buskey. veterinary surgeon of Mont
gomery, Vermont. r. f. ID. 1.
My digestion was SO bad and my APP
petite 50 poor that many a day one egg
or a slice of toast was all l could eat.
My nervous system was all upset, my
sleep was never sound. and | would
wake up mornings with an awful head
ache and feeling all out of sorts. My
health always seemed perfect until two
years ago when l had the flu. Since
then I have tried one thing after an
other trying to get right but got no re-
lief until l began taking Tanlac. 1t
certainly can be depended upon for re-
suits"

As for the speakership of the Yer
mont house, it is only fair to say that
the talk of Orlando Martin is largely
gossip.
IF the people of Plainfield want him
and IF the time seems right and IF
nothing happens meanwhile to spill the
beans, / believe Orlando would like the
Job, and his acquaintance with legisla,
tors all over the state would qualify him
fairly well for the job.
Frank Barber of Brattleboro is in the

ArbOr Day.

His eXcellency, the governor,
Requests that we shall be
Up bright and early May the 9th
To plant d little tree.
A tree which we increasingly
Must guard with watchful care
All through its tender saplingho
Thas it may safely fare.
Must water when the ground is parched
And trouble daily make
With all the neighbors kids. who want
Its plant trunk to shake.
Send flying, cats that dearly like
To scratch its juicy bark.
And sit up nights lest cats or boys
Come near it after dark.
Around it must a fence erect
OF iron good and strong,
For its protection in the DAYS
When snOwplows come along.
With linemen wage a bitter war,
Who want to cut its top.
And for their wires unfeelingly
Its handsome branches lop.
And then when it is fully grown,
Of woe we II drain the cup
On seeing forest tent worms come
To eat our treasure up.
No, no; we II plant no little tree,
More bother than a child,
And apt TO turn belligerent
\ temper meek and mild
