MELLON OPPOSES
SOLDIER BONDS
Secretary of Treasury Says Plan
to Use Interest of Foreign
War Debts Unwise .
WOULD MEAN NEW TAX
Payment Must Ee Provided for
Through Taxation, Mellon De
clares —New Borrowings
Held Dangerous.
Washington—Treasury opposition
to adjusted soldier compensation re
main unchanged, but if there is to be
compensation, it must be provided
through taxation in addition to taxes
imposed by existing law, Secretary
Mellon declared in a letter to Chair
man Fordney of the House ways and
means committee. Any attempt to
provide for the funds through the use
of the principal and interest of the
foreign debt to this country, he con
tended, “would be futile, as well as
unwise.”
Mr. Mellon’s letter was in response
to a request from Mr. Fordney for an
expression of the views of the Sec
retary and Treasury departments on
the governmental financial outlook
for the coming year and a half „and
for suggestions as to legislation.
Tuesday the question of adjusted
compensation again was presented
formally to the Senate through in
troduction by Senator Simmons, Dem
ocrat of North Carolina, of the five
way plan as’ an amendment to the
pending measure providing for re
funding of the war-time loans to the
allied powers.
Places Cost at $850,000,000.
Submitting detailed estimates of
government receipts and expenditures
for the fiscal years 1922 and 1923,
and the Treasury plan for refunding
the short dated debt, Secretary Mel
lon, in his letter, declared no allow
ance has "been made for any extraor
dinary expenditures for soldier com
pensation on the most conservative
estimates, he said, probably not less
than $850,000,000 in the first two
years.
“The figures,” he said, ’’show that
there will be no available surplus, but
more probably a deficit and that with
the enormous refunding operation
which the treasury has to conduct, it
would be dangerous in the extreme to
attempt to finance the expenditures
involved in the compensation through
new’ borrowings. The position of the
treasury remains unchanged, but if
there is to be soldier compensation,
it is clear that it must be provided
for through taxation, and through
taxation in addition to the taxes im
posed by existing law.”

about six years old, stood by, greatly
Interested in the accident
“Thay, doctor,” he broke in with
his eyes wide open, “wuth the horth
hurt?”
“I don't know,” said the doctor, “I
was more interested in the man, and
didn’t think cf the horse.”
“Well, I don’t care,” Johnny said,
taking the doctor’s reply as an im
plied rebuke, “but a live horth ith
bettr’n a dead man, anyway.”
Good System.
“You give your husband a necktie
every Christmas?”
“Yes; it’s a splendidly economical
scheme, because the poor dear never
wears It, and doesn’t dream that I
give him the same tie year after year.”

Although a man never knows what
he can do until he tries, it is not al
ways expedient to try.
You wouldn’t put on hobbles
to run a foot race
Then why load up on handicaps for
the day’s work?
A good deal of food, unwisely chosen,
does weigh the body down and clog the
digestion, and dull the brain.
Why put on the hobbles?
Grape-Nuts is a breakfast or lunch
time dish for those who want food effi
ciency, and mind and body efficiency.
Grape-Nuts satisfies and nourishes.
It delights the taste. It is ready to serve
whenever you are ready to eat. And it
digests easily, quickly and completely—
leaving no handicap of heaviness and
drowsiness.
Grape-Nuts is the food for health
and action.

MAD OVER A MERE TRIFLE
Surely Any Man Who Has Seen Serv
ice Will Agree That Corporal
Was Unreasonable.
A couple of recruits of the latest
vintage were discussing the pros and
cons of service life at Paris Island.
“It ain’t so bad," confided one. “Most
of it is all right, but it’s that blasted
relief from guard duty that gets me.”
“Relief from guard duty I” ejacu-
lated the other. “Man, you’re cuckoo!
There’s nothing to being relieved from
guard duty. It’s being on guard duty
that’s tough.”
“No,” maintained the first, “it’s the
relief. Why, the other day they put
me on guard duty for two hours, and
it wasn’t bad at all just standing
around and watching the rest of ’em
drilling and knowing that I didn't
have to do it myself, but when the
time for relief came the corporal came
up and gave me the devil.”
“What for?”
“Nothing—nothing at all. I just
couldn’t remember where I left ray
rifle.” —The Leatherneck.
