SOLDIER yIIATEYER may be said of Governor McBONUS \ !\l Cray’s action in vetoing the bonus bill, it VETO V V certainly is true that the bill as drafted was clumsy in its operation and would probably haye led to more disappointment than to actual benefit. The effectiveness of the measure was delayed by the provision that it must, before becoming a law, be approved at a referendum. A referendum on such questions is desirable, but in this case it would have meant a two-year delay, and the longer a measure of is kind is delayed the less it serves a good purpose. The referendum provision was merely a means employed by the Assembly of dodging responsibility. Many of the members indicated on other oeeasious they were not eager to hear the voice of the people After the bill had been approved in a referendum it would have taken another three or four years to raise the money. The money would have been paid in installments, the last installment probably Tig paid earlier than ten years after the close of the war. The bonus could not possibly have been an estimate of the appreciation cf the State for the services of its sons in the war. A money payment in tin* manner planned would have been of little benefit. The argument of tlie Governor against the bill that the State already is overburdened by taxation would have sounded better if the Governor himself had not been so insistent during the Legislature of increasing that burden. The Assembly was notoriously the most expensive ever held in Indiana, even excluding the bonus. MEAT —* ESPITE the efforts of vegetarian cults, reEATING ligious and sectarian, and of the long and IN U. S. | J very aggressive advertising campaign for meat substitutes, we Americans ate 149.7 pounds of meat per capiia last year, the highest ppr capita average since 1911. These figures do i ■ include game or domestic fowl, but only what is popularly designated as “butcher’s meat.” The chief 1 diet continues to be beef and pork. Why the tremendous meat consumption in this country, far j greater than that of any other in the world? First, dietetic experts tell us, becaiise no food in the world is; more easily or quickly digested than beefsteak, while the great and continuous increase in the popularity of the ham sandwich accounts for part of tie big increase in pork consumption. But doubtless the chief reason is that meat, while more extutes satisfy hunger more quickly. And the average American does not propose to die iu debt to his stomach, and his idea of a good meal is still a thick beef-teak and mighty few trimmings. EXPENSE ■ys it profitable to appropriate monev for agTHAT I rieultural research . Listen to this story, PAYS _JL !in d then answer the question. Down in a Kansas agricultural college a little while back, they developed a row kind of corn, which would produce at least five bushels more to tlie aero than any other corn farmers ever knew. Estimate the corn acreage of Kansas at four million acres, which is conservative, and think of corn at about a dollar a bushel. That's 590.040.900 extra for Kansas! And that’s just one item, just one discovery. There are lots of others. There should be more. Our entire appropriation for agricultural research through the f n ted States Department of Agriculture is but ■812.000.000 a \ car Now what's vour answer" GREAT w CIIX Drew celebrates, rounding out his tisACTOR | lieth year on the American stage.

The reason it does not so flow in cases where health is less than normal is, that someone or more of the vertebrae (small bones) of the spinal column are out of position. Being a little out of position means, most likely, comparatively little trouble. But trouble of this kind will grow in proportion as these vertebrae continue to become displaced in degree.
