ever I needed it. When I firused .it I was so bad I could hardly walk across the room without crying. I was tired all thetime. I think my trouble was coming on me for six months before I realized it. I

read of your wonderful medicine in the paper, and my husband bought me a bottle, and after the first few doses I felt better, so kept on taking it until I was well and strong. I take it at times when I feel tired and it helps me. I will always have a good word for your medicine and tell anyone what good it has done me. I recommended it to my neighbor for her girl, who is sixteen years old, and it was just what she needed. She is feeling fine now, and- goes to school every day." —Mbs. E. F.

New Legion Commander Invests in Youth of America; Finds His Money Well Spent in Helping Them to Climb

ppnDWARD E. SPAFFORD arh rived in Indianapolis SunL_U day, to assume his duties as national commander at headquarters in this city. The Legion is one of Spafford’s great “pets” but he has another, of which the world in general knows little. That is the youth of America, for one of the hobbies of this man is investing in youth, helping them over the rough places and giving them good starts in life. * * * And now, going over his books, Edward E. Spafford can show figures proving how sound these investments have been. Spafford is an eminently successful Wall Street attorney with many business interests. But no undertaking, he says, has given him more personal satisfaction or paid better dividends than this unique philanthropy, though he would be the last person to concede that it is a philanthropy. * * * SO date he has made a dozen such investments. They covers a range of activity as wide as the aspirations, dreams and hopes of youth. But they have all been practical. They have covered several infant industries and businesses and several professions. They have backed a manufacturing enterprise and a college student. There came to his attention, for instance, the case a young fellow in a New York University who was selling his blood to make his way through school. Commander Spafford happened to read about this in a newspaper and decided that a person of this type deserved assistance. So he put up the money to help the student through college. “And strangely enough,” he relates, “this came close to being my only mistake. I had neglected to consider the psychology of this young man. His blood-selling was not merely a means of getting

SMC IS STRUCK ON FLOOD PLAN Davis Fears Tri-State Fight on U. S. Proposals. HELENA, Ark., Oct. 24.—After a partially successful effort to swing the Mississippi Valley behind the War Department's unannounced plan for flood control, Secretary of War Davis today neared the end of his “good will tour” of the flood region. Davis received enthusiastic support through Arkansas and Mississippi on his journey southward, but ran into difficulties, in New Orleans which may have a far-reaching effecton the outcome of flood control legislation in Congress. The Tri-State Flood Committee declined Sunday at New Orleans to back the War Department plan against other plans of flfcod control which are springing up* Although Governor Martineau or Arkansas, chairman, and other commissioners previously had announced their intention of supporting the commission, the board adjourned after a three-hour session without taking any action.

When this had been paid back, I pointed out, he could do what he pleased. “He went out to the coast and began to practice law. He is doing very well and is turning into a good investment. What is more, he is being of greater religious value to the world than he ever would have been in the street. “For now he can get a rational slant on public religious needs and can put them into sound application.. My argument was never against his religious inclinations, but against the manner of getting them over." Commander Spafford has been most timid in talking about his “youth investment” idea, not the least reasofi'" being that he foresees a deluge of mail from every section of the earth. However, such method of approach is not likely to get the applicant to first base. * * * SOUTH Is the greatest asset of any nation, just as it is of any business,” says the Legion commander. “Any war will show you that.

But those who carry out the orders and fight and labor and sweat are the millions of anonymous young men. “It’s no fool’s errand, nor gamble. I actually invest in these young men.

2 BRIDGES, ONE SITE, DILEMMA AT EVANSVILLE War Department Authorizes Permits for Both State and Private Spans. By Timet Special WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.—The War Department has granted two permits for two big highway bridges to be built across the Ohio river at Evansville, Ind., on exactly the same site. Since it’s impossible for two bridges to occupy the same space at the same time without using the fourth dimension, the action is expected to bring a showdown at one point in the United States at least, betwen the toll bridge combination which has built approximately 150 of these private bridges on public highways throughout the country, and advocates of a public-ly-owned bridge. One application, approved by the department Aug. 3, was made by the Evansville-Kentucky Bridge Company. The other. Just approved, was by the State of Indiana through the Indiana Highway Commission. Since the plans were virtually the same, the War Department granted the State’s application without a hearing. Links Federal Roads The bridge site is on the Dixie Highway at the southern end of Indiana’s longest Federal-aid public road, and connects with another Federal aid public highway on the Kentucky shore. Thousands of vehicles monthly will pay the private firm’s toll charges if it builds the bridge. An enabling act for the private bridge had almost passed Congress, one of fifty passed last winter authorizing private toll bridges, when the people of Evansville, led by the Evansville Press, a ScrippsHoward newspaper, awoke to the situation. Difference in Tolls The State Legislature and Congress were asked to pass bill authorizing the publicly-owned bridge, and did so. Since then proponents of the public bridge have gone ahead as fast as possible, without reference to the private company's plans. The public bridge would also assess tolls, but lower tolls, which would cease as soon as the bridge was paid for. The American Association of State Highway Officials has announced that bills drastically curbing the building of toll bridges will be introduced in the next Congress. Many of these bridges already built are said to be gold mines of profit for their promoters.
