But some people are dubious of the effect of the bonus, "The only results are likely be a slight outbreak of alcoholism, an neute attack of automobilism, a considerable amount of absentee. ism, and the appearance of a large number of well-dressed men," is the forecast of one cynic.
The payment was made en bonus certificates that were issued mnce than ten years ago, and which would have matured in 1913. This was tus long for the veterans to wail.
A campaign at Washington and influence brought to hear on Con gressmen throughout the country resulted in a Bill being passed- despite President Roosevelt's vetu by which veterans could receive honds equal to the face value of their bonis certificates, less any amount they had borrowed them.

"C'MON AND PLAY”
"DON'T FEEL
LIKE
PLAYING"
When a child is out of sorts, doesn't want to play, the chances are that he is constipated.
Act promptly. Give a laxative. But be sure it's the right laxative—a child's laxative, one made especially for children-Castoria!
In millions of American homes Castoria is the first thought when a child has a headache, an upset stom ach, or shows the first symptoms of a cold. These mothers know that Castoria is safe, gentle, effective... that it is exactly suited to a child's delicate system. And children love its taste! Castoria does not con- tain castor oil.
Get a bottle of Castoria today. Say good-bye forever to strong adult laxatives that gripe your child and up- set his digestion. Welcome the ideal laxative-the laxative made especially for children.
