WHAT WE HAVE DONE FOR THE VETERANS Senator Bert M. Fernald, of Maine, was in charge of the bill recently passed unanimously by the senate appropriating $17,000,000 for the construction of more hospitals for the accommodation of disabled service men. In the course of his remarks on the measure, Senator Fernald gave statistics of what the United States has done for its soldiers in the world war as compared with what was done in former wars, and with what other governments have done for the veterans, that should be brought to the attention of every person who thinks this country has been negligent in that respect. "Senators may be surprised to know the difference in the treatment of the soldiers by the different governments," said Senator Fernald. "Outside of Australia and New Zealand, no government that was in any way connected with the late war has paid anything like what the United States has paid her soldiers. Canada alone paid her soldiers $33 per month. The United States paid her soldiers $33 per month. Great Britain paid her soldiers but $11.40 per month. Germany paid her soldiers $3 per month. France, Austria-Hungary, Italy and Japan paid their soldiers less than $2 per month. So senators may see that in comparison with what other governments have paid, the United States has been exceedingly generous. No soldier of the revolutionary war received a pension, for over 40 years after the close of the war.of more than $5 per month, and that only in case of disability to such an extent as to prevent his performing manual labor. No soldier who served in the war for independence was allowed a pension for any reason except for injuries or disability incurred in the service, for 42 years. made such provision before for the soldiers of any war. They are handling at the department 1000 new claims every day, in addition to the 1,200,000 already on file, and employing 4000 ex-service men in carrying out the work. In addition to the above, the veterans' bureau has allowed 305,000 compensation claims, and has paid out in compensation benefits $300,000,000. We are mailing out 650,000 checks every month, representing an expenditure of $43,000,000 monthly; giving vocational training, without cost, to 100,000 disabled ex-service men; providing hospital care for 30,000 ex-service men; at an annual expenditure of $60,000,000; expending $1,000,000 cash every day-for ex-service men and their dependents. So, Mr. President, since 1918 this government has expended $1,140,000,000, and from now on, under the provisions of the laws we have already enacted, it will cost this government $438,000,000, twice as much as was ever expended before for the soldiers of any war." THE AMERICANISM OF THE AMERICAN NAVY Over 99 per cent of the men in the United States navy are Americans,and this would have seemed to the service of a generation past an ideal beyond reasonable hope. In years not distant a man-of-war's crew might be picked up anywhere, it might have all sorts and conditions of men on board, there might be Lithuanians and Lascars, recruits from New Hampshire and New Zealand, from the Penobscot and from Peru. In the dawn of the republic, that is in the struggle for independence, a captain might have on his forecastle American tars of the first water, he might also go to a sinking vessel and take off some of her crew, he might find men on an island and not ask eased seedlings to crops or failures occur.

Tomatoes No soldier of the revolutionary war received a pension, for over 40 years after the close of the war of more than $5 per month, and that only in case of disability to such an extent as to prevent his performing manual labor. No soldier who served in the war for independence was allowed a pension for any reason except for injuries or disability incurred in the service, for 42 years. No soldier of the war of 1812 was pensioned for any cause, except for disability incurred in service, until 60 years after the war. No widow of the war of 1812 received a pension until the act of 1816, and then only $4 per month. No soldier of the Mexican war received a pension, except such as were wounded or disabled in the service, until 40 years after the close of the war. Those totally disabled as the result of service received $8 per month. No soldier of the civil war who was not injured or disabled by his military service received any pension from the government until the act of 1890, 20 years after the close of the war. Those totally disabled received only $8 per month in case of privates, and only $30 per month in case of lieutenant colonels and those of higher rank. No widow of a civil war soldier was granted a pension until 25 years after the close of the war, and then only upon proof of the soldier's death being of service origin. At the close of this fiscal year we will have expended during this 12-month period for the benefit of the soldiers $438,000,000, twice as much as was ever expended before in aid of the soldier of any war. From the beginning of the revolutionary war until July 4, 1836—$3 years after the close of the war—no widow of an enlisted soldier who served in the war for independence was ever allowed a pension. But by the act of July 4, 1836, and several amendatory acts, widows of revolutionary soldiers were allowed a pension at first of $4 and later $8 per month. They were never allowed more than that until the act of 1886—more than 100 years after the war. Until the act of 1916 no widow of the war of 1812 received a pension. But by that act widows of soldiers who were killed in the service were allowed half pay, or $48 per year—$4 per month. In the dawn of the republic, that is in the struggle for independence, a captain might have on his forecastle American tars of the first water, he might also go to a sinking vessel and take off some of her crew, he might find men on an island and not ask whether they had been wrecked or marooned; if his complement was short he gladly welcomed anybody who came to him, possibly a Frenchman or a Dutchman might be a deserter, a man from Norway or Portugal might be a model character or he might have had urgent reason for leaving his native land, the navy of that era was a city of refuge not disposed to exclude volunteers or to ask many questions. Nor did the navy of the revolution seruple to invite British prisoners to enlist; if they did not there were cases in which persuasion ran close to compulsion. While there is a widespread impression that Paul Jones in the Bonhomme Richard had as mixed a crew as ever sailed the sea, a late British writer says that his assortment was not unlike that of many other frigates of the time. A captain likely to win abundance of prize coney could get all the men he needed, and between coaxing and press gangs there were chances of filling the complement. Here the impressment system was far less general than in the British service, but it would be vain to deny that it existed. When the Philadelphia ran aground before Tripoli, the enemy seized every one on board. Many of the sailors were of British birth, and Bainbridge suggested to Preble that their case be reported to Nelson. Had Nelson demanded the release of all the Englishmen; some of the Americans might have escaped and fled to British ships. Even if this plan failed (we know not what might have occurred to Bainbridge) the surrender of the British would have lowered the Tripolitan morale, and the ransom for the others might have been lowered. Nothing came of the plan; indeed, had it been carried out we should have had a poor case had we disputed the British right to impress her subjects wherever she found them. The war of 1812 found us with a number of English sailors under our flag. James, the British naval historian, has greatly exaggerated the num- patches may be sometimes on the stems.

They were never allowed more than that until the act of 1886—more than 100 years after the war. Until the act of 1916 no widow of the war of 1812 received a pension. But by that act widows of soldiers who were killed in the service were allowed half pay, or $48 per year—$4 per month. Widows of soldiers killed in the Mexican war received half pay of $48 per year for life, and it never was increased above that amount until 1887—40 years after the close of the war—and then increased to $8 per month. In 1886 pensions of widows of civil war veterans were increased to $12 per month, so that no widow of a civil war veteran whose death resulted from injuries received or disease contracted in the service received as much as $12 per month until over 20 years after the close of the war. Their pensions remained at $12 until 1895, when they were increased to $20 per month, so that it was not until 25 years after the close of the war that the widows of civil war veterans could receive a pension except upon proof that the soldier's death was of service origin. Widows of veterans of the Spanish war have never been allowed a pension of more than $12 per month; and prior to the passage of the Sells act, they were never allowed that except in case where the soldier's death was due to injury received or disease contracted in the service. "I want to say," continued Senator Fernald, "in connection with insurance, that 148,000 claims have already been allowed; that there is still in force insurance to the amount of $3,500,000,000, and no government ever The war of 1812 found us with a number of English sailors under our flag. James, the British naval historian, has greatly exaggerated the number; yet it was far from insignificant. The language of Judge Story and the anecdote Richard H. Dana tells about Hull make that clear enough. From the varied crews of our earlier wars of Farragut's time or even of Dewey's and Sampson's squadrons, to a navy over 99 per cent American is a sea change indeed. USE HOT WATER TO KILL GERMS Harmful Molds or Fungi Should Be Destroyed Before Planting Seeds To be sure of obtaining healthy young plants for transplanting to the home garden or elsewhere, treat the soil in the seed box with boiling water a few days before planting. Most all soils commonly used for seed beds contain one or more kinds of harmful molds or fungi and in addition, in the south, a destructive eelworm which causes a disease of many garden crops commonly called root-knot. Recently it has been learned by the United States department of agriculture that seed-bed soil can be made reasonably free from these plant enemies by this simple hot-water-treatment. If disease spores are not killed, plants grown in such soil will usually become diseased and die, or else will remain stunted and sickly. It is because of the transplanting of such dis- The same thiments. In an either an individual must incur a depletion of the emergency effort should be done some of the E have been slow tain.

ANAHEIM GAZETTE eased seedlings that many of the poor crops or failures in the home garden occur. Every gardener should therefore learn how to recognize troubles of young plants and become familiar with the method here described for preventing them. Before treating the soil it should be placed in the box ready for seeding. Make a few holes in the bottom of the box for drainage. Pour on the boiling water very slowly at the rate of two gallons to a box of soil one foot square and four inches deep and at once cover with a newspaper to help hold the heat for a longer time. After a few days or whenever the soil has dried out enough the seed may be planted. Young plants grown in this treated soil not only have white, sound roots, but also have a healthy, vigorous appearance above ground. Besides this, seeds sprout better and the plants grow much faster than those planted in untreated soil. Ordinarily diseased seedlings are a lighter green color and are somewhat smaller than healthy plants and have a sickly appearance. These signs of disease on the young plants, however, may not be noticed and still the trouble may be present on the roots and develop after the plants are set in the garden. To find out if diseases are present, always examine the roots of young plants before setting them out. If affected by molds or fungi, dark dead patches may be seen on the roots and sometimes on the lower part of the stems. POT-GROWN TOMATOES Sturdy Plants Will Acquire the Grower an Early Crop. The majority of home gardeners have a hobby on some sort of vegetable or on some certain kind of flowers. Tomatoes being easy to grow, country to send delegates to the Genoa conference was due notice that the people of this country intend to give their first attention to the difficult problem of paying their own debts and keeping their expenses within their income. That this is the American policy, the allied experts evidently fully realize, for they are plain spoken in telling the delinquent nations to get down to work and back to normal. By an unprecedented plurality, the American people voted for a "back to normal" policy in 1920 and congress and the executive have been co-operating in the work of cutting down expenses. Results have been attested by the improvement in national credit—government bonds that formerly sold for 85 cents on the dollar are now worth a hundred. Age should not demand respect because it is age, but because it is respectable. There are not half as many cynics as there are persons who wish you to think they are. WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us Strong and Healthy All the blood in the body passes through the kidneys once every three minutes. The kidneys filter the blood. They work night and day. When healthy they remove about 500 grains of impure matter daily, when unhealthy some part of this impure matter is left in the blood. This brings on many diseases and symptoms—which vary widely but may include pain in the back, headache, nervousness, hot, dry skin, rheumatic pains, gout, gravel, disorders of the eyesight and hearing, dizziness, irregular heart, debility, drowsiness, dropsy, deposits in the urine, etc. But if you keep the POT-GROWN TOMATOES Sturdy Plants Will Acquire the Grower an Early Crop. The majority of home gardeners have a hobby on some sort of vegetable or on some certain kind of flowers. Tomatoes being easy to grow, find popular favor with the small garden man. While there are many who grow any kind of tomatoes, not caring as to the variety, there are others who seek the best varieties for two purposes—slicing for table use and for canning. There are some families that prefer the medium-sized, smooth tomato, while others desire the largest that can be grown. The larger tomato is suitable for slicing, but the housewife complains that it is usually too large for canning, so the medium-sized tomato seems to be more in the limelight. In either instance, a strong, healthy plant is necessary if the best results and early fruit are desired. The very best plant obtainable to set outdoors as soon as the weather will permit is the indoor-grown plant—first raised in the flat, then transferred from small pots to larger ones. That is the certain way to obtain the choicest of plants. DOCTRINE OF SELF-HELP There is the clearest kind of economic truth in the first of a number perts as essentials for the reconstrucpts a seessentials for the reconstruction of Europe. This principle declares: "The essential requisite for the economic reconstruction of Europe is the achievement by each country of stability in the value of its currency. No country can gain control of its own currency so long as there is a deficiency in the annual budget which is met by the creation of paper money or bank credits. It is for every country to overcome such deficiency by its own independent efforts." The ancient doctrine of self-help is thus well stated, although perhaps with more verbiage than necessary. "Spend less than your income," is what the allied experts are trying to impress upon all European countries as a prerequisite to restored stability. There is no great mystery about patches may be seen on the roots and sometimes on the lower part of the stems. They work night and day. When healthy they remove about 500 grains of impure matter daily, when unhealthy some part of this impure matter is left in the blood. This brings on many diseases and symptoms—which vary widely but may include pain in the back, headache, nervousness, hot, dry skin, rheumatic pains, gout, gravel, disorders of the eyesight and hearing, dizziness, irregular heart, dobility, drowsiness, dropsy, deposits in the urine, etc. But if you keep the filters right the danger is overcome. Doan's Kidney Pills have proven an effective kidney medicine. Mrs. G. Click, 411 N. Philadelphia St., Anaheim, says: "I am glad to recommend Doan's Kidney Pills, for I know they will do what is claimed for them. My kidneys were weak and inactive. I felt dull and languid and my back was weak and lame. Doan's Kidney Pills had been used in my family for years, so I decided to try them. Doan's cured me of all signs of kidney complaint." 60c at all dealers. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfs., Buffalo, N.Y. ORDINANCE NO. 422.

"Spend less than your income," is what the allied experts are trying to impress upon all European countries as a prerequisite to restored stability. There is no great mystery about sound national finances. Government business is based upon exactly the same fundamental principles as individual business. The manufacturer, the farmer, the wage earner, soon learn by experience, if they do not by reason, that any man who spends more than his income is headed for bankruptcy. The man who finds his expenditures exceeding his income has one of two alternatives—to increase his income or reduce his expenses. Falling to adopt either course, his credit soon disappears and financial disaster results. The same thing is true of governments. In an unusual emergency either an individual or a government must incur a debt, but on the passing of the emergency, the first thought and effort should be directed toward reduction of the debt. This important end some of the European governments have been slow in attempting to attain. Instead of reducing their debts, some of the nations have been adding to their burdens, apparently trusting to fate to get them out of their difficulties. Doubtless some of the nations of Europe have felt that by some means the United States would be induced to lift a part of their burdens and this hope may have encouraged them to postpone the task of getting their finances in good shape. The refusal of this be established at Thirty-two (32) feet Northherly from and parallel to the center line of said West Center Street. SECTION 2.
