ural home of the child. The home
with the mother, If living, or with
blood relations. Where no natural
home is possible, Legion seeks an
adopted home, preferably in family
of veteran. For many children who
need some immediate and tempor-
ary care while home is being re-
stored or adoption arranged, a series
of regional Children's Billets is being
established, cottage type homes,
where small family group lives
with house mother, and attends
nearby public schools. Of the prob
able five biIlets needed, one was
opened in 1924, another due to
open April, 1925, and land has been
donated for two others with build
ing fund given for one Of them. The
Endowment Fund will not buy land
or build cottages, as these have been
and will be donated. The Endow-
ment income will be used for billet
maintenance so far as needed, and
for maintaining the national service
needed to contact children and fos-
ter parents and to coordinate local
Legion work for child welfare.

CAMPAIGN BY AMERICAN
LEGION

The American Legion Is putting
on campaign, the object of which
is to raise an endowment fund of
$5.000,000, the income from which
will be applied toward the rehabili-
tation of disabled ex-service per-
sons and to care for and find homes
for Rphans. The American Legions
of the country are to assist in the
campaign. and the local Legion
Malconta Post, No. "A, started their
campaign in this county Monday
night when Kenneth Longley and
George Archer went to Mountville,
the former making the opening ad-
dress of the campaign, few min
utes being given them before the
beginning of the eighth grade COM
mencement held at that place. We
understand that number of the
Legion boys will present the matter
grade commencements of the coun-
ty.
The quota for Morgan county is
5000, and the campaign closes Sat-
urday, June 13.
Rehabilitation For The Disabled
The objective of The American
Legion in it's work for the disabled
ex-service men has been summed up
in four words:
Temporary Care-Permanent Cure
Every disabled man of the World
war must, when by any means pos
sible, be restored in body, mind and
spirit to a condition of health, self
; support and effective Independent
citizenship.
This can be achieved in part by
the liberal aid provided by the gov
ernment. The Legion service CO.
operates closely with governmental
and other agencies.
Government service, fixed by rule
of law, can never be complete nor
sufficiently elastic to completely
reach the objective of CURE. 1t is
no more automatic than the admin
istration of justice in a court. The
Legion supplements government
service outside the limitations of

was compelled to wear rubber
stockings. They are the most mis-
cradle things person could wear.
After all this, it was not long the
veins burst and left open running
sores, getting worse right along.
Hearing of DR.. w. F. Riedel of
Osceola, Wis, and the wonderful
cures he has made, consulted DR..
Rriedel as my last resort. Not much
results were noticed at first, this
was due to the impurities of the
blood. Taking several more treat
ments was improving fast and re-
markable change came about. Be-
fore | had been taking treatments
from DR.. W. F. Rriedel there were
large open sores on each side of nv
ankle on both feet, the largest sore
was an oval shape about three inches
long causing consider able lameness
of my hip and ankle.
The sores are healed, the lameness
and stiffness has left me and am
free from suffering. Words cannot
express my gratitude towards DR..
Riedel for relieving me of my suffer-
ing which has handicapped me the
past thirty years in doing my work.

to come and see my son. After a

! had better remove the cast or he
