financial condition of our soldiers
who came home after the Civil War
was far more difficult and harassing
than those than confront the men
who took part in the great war.
Then. most of them had seen four
years of active service. When the
war of the sixties ended. part of the
country was desolate and shortly
thereafter business was Frustrated.
There was much distress in the land
and small opportunity for employ
ment. The veterans of that great
conflict did not ask for a bonus or
for adjusted compensation and did
pot receive it. | am sure that in the
end ii would be better for the young
veteran of today to leave an open
account on the credit side of the
rational ledger. that may come in
good stead for sickness and old age
in the future rather than to close
the account by an adjusted COM
pensation bill. In my judgment, the
only couEse TO pursue that will
benefit all the people of the United
States and aid in assuring a con i
tinuing prosperity in the country is
to defeat the bonus bill and reduce
taxation to the fullest possible ex-
tent under existing conditions"

PARADE PLANNED
 ON DEFENSE DAY
Demonstration to Be Followed
 by Exercises in Park

A meeting of the committee ap- pointed by Mayor A. Nj. Paonessa to make plans for the observance of National Defense Day, Friday Sep tember 1o, was held in the city hall last night. Due to the indictment weather the entire committee was not present. Those who attended were, Harry Jackson, chairman; Mason Andrews, N. C. Avery, Rev. II, w. Maier, W. J. Rawlings, Will Hard Dyson, I. T. Hills, and Com mander Ogren of the Eddy Glover Post, American Legion.
 An informal discussion was held on the most fitting way to carry out the day. Rev. MT. Maier suggested that the people be asked to fly the flag on that day and to wear some sort of an insigna as a small flag or button. He said he thought that by having the flag flown 1t would help bring home to the people some of the significance of the day. Mem bers of the committe were emphatic in their statements that National De- fense Day was an argument against war and not one for war and for that reason they sought an obesrv- ance which would help bring out this point.
 On a suggestion of Mir. Ogren 1t was voted to ask the factories and banks to send letter to members of the committee signifying their willingness to help in time of war. this letter to be simply an express sion of their willingness to help and not to contain any details as to how they would be willing to help or what war goods they could manu- facture. MT. ogren said that at a meeting of the American Legion next week 1t was probable that it would arrange for a hall to be hierd and some speakers engaged on De- tenSe Day. Following a discussion on the man. ner in which the day would be cele- brated it was decided 10 have short parade about o'clock in the after noon, the line of march to be from the state armory on Arch street, through Main street to West Main and to terminate in Walnut Hill park. At the park the local compan- ies of the National Guard would put on a revue and retreat and have the demonstration followed by speaking and music at the band stand. It was also voted to ask the theater man 1 agers to have the Star Spangled Banner" played at the beginnig of each performance and to urge civic and patriotic organizations as well as the military organizations 10 par ticipate in the parade. Any of these

Breakfast--Apple sauce, cooked wheat cereal, soft boiled eggs, thin toast, butter, milk. coffee.
 Luncheon--Lamb chops, baked po- totoes, stewed tomatoes, whole wheat bread and butter dates.
 Dlnner-Roast of veal, macaronl with cheese, lima beans, celery and cabbage salad, prune whip. whole wheat bread and butter milk, cof- fee.
 This luncheon is planned exclu- sively for the children who come home from school for their noon meal. Meat once day should be provided for children from years on. The meat should be broiled, boiled or roasted, never fried, and lamb, beef and chicken and fish are the preferred meats. Two table spoons Of very finely cut, boiled lamb chop will be enough for the youngest member of the family, and whole broiled chop for the older children.
 The heartiest meal of the day should be planned for noontlme, as far as the children are concerned. Nourishing. easily digested food must be provided for their evening meal. This makes 1t necessary that the dinner planned to satisfy hun gry man contains light, nourishing dessert. an edsily digested protein, fat and carbohydrate.
 The macaroni' and cheese suggest ed in place of potatoes with the roast is happy choice for grown ups as we'll as children.
 Children under should not eat the salad unless 1t is very finely minced and slightly seasoned. Their dinner is macaroni and cheese, lima beans, whole wheat bread and but ter, milk and prune whip.
 Any child under IS will be better off without the veal for his dinner.
