MODIFICATION HAS A CHANCE
Prohibition will be the first consideration of Congress
when it convenes Monday. Already the language of the bill
is under debate. The questions are whether for «»submis
sion It will be outright repeal or modification, and whether
the states will be called upon to vote on for amendment to
the constitution by legislatures or specially ctflled conven
tions.
We believe the outright repealists are too enthusiastic.
If they have their way they will land in the same place as
the extreme drys have come. Modifications which prevents
the return of the saloon and places government regulation
over the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquor and
gives the government protection to those areas which elect
to remain dry, is the only measure which has a chance at
passage.
Voting on the amendment should be by conventions
rather than legislatures even if it is the slower method. If
this question is settled it should be by men who are chosen
•on the one issue alone. With few exceptions legislators
were not elected as to whether they were wet or dry or on
how they stood on some measure not yet formulated. When
we vote for delegates for a ratifying convention we vote
directly on whether we approve or disapprove the change
in the prohibition amendment. They will go instructed.

STRIKE AT DISABLED
General This and Admiral That have resigned from
The American Legion because it demands the “Bonus.” Re
cently General Lincoln C. Andrews attacked The American
Legion as a “gold digger.” It seems fair to ask the question:
Is the man who calls us “gold diggers” one of the boys who
dug trenches in France? Is the general drawing a pension
of from five to ten thousand a year from the Government?
And, would he get mad if we suggested that he might be
considered a “gold digger” for accepting said pension?
The National Economy League is against the “Bonus.”
If that were its whole purpose, we would grant them the
right to their own opinion and let it go at that. The Nation
al Economy League would defeat the "Bonus” as an open
ing wedge to secure the repeal of all laws affecting the care
and comfort of our disabled men and their dependents.
The National Economy League sends out propaganda
to prove that the veteran today costs this Government 25
cents of every tax dollar. The truth is that the veteran
does cost the Government 20 cents of each tax dollar. Let
us compare that with the facts that are matters of historical
record: In 1880, which happens to be a year that bears the
same relation to the Civil War that 1932 does to the World
War, 35 cents of every tax dollar went to the veteran, hi
1890, 49 cents of every tax dollar went to veterans. For 17
years prior to the World War, the average cost of the vet
eran to the Government was 27 cents of every tax dollar.
All this time, only Union veterans were receiving govern
ment pensions. If Southern veterans had been included on
the pension lists, the cost would certainly have been in
creased by at least one-third.
The cost of the veteran to the Government is less today
than at any time in the past 50 years. And yet this National
Economy League finds that the only way to reduce the cost
of government is to fight the “Bonus” and to take away or
reduce the government benefits of our comrades who gave
their future that this fair land might be safe— for the Na
tional Economy League!
The American Legion is Prepared for War! One mil
lion members are rallying to the colors and victory will rest
with our cause. For our cause is just!—The Ohio Legion

To meet taxes each year regularly assessed, timber

has and never will be the case. A yield tax is inevitable for
timber or else it will eventually all become delinquent.

QZw FAMILY
, DOCTOR
“Y JOHN JOSEPH GAINES MO
ABOUT ASTHMA
The fall season—ragweeds—damp weather—asth
matics know and dread its meaning for them. Hence this
talk.
Asthmatics can inhale; the trouble is in expelling the
air from the lungs. A spasm of the small bronchioles pre
vents. That’s your way of telling if it is real asthma. To
stop the spasm is to relieve temporarily. Anything that will
stop the spasm.
When a confirmed asthmatic consults me, I first make
■ure of the diagnosis.
Some inhale “asthma powder.” It may relieve, but does
not cure— but relief is worth something, even by smoking
the spasm away. Then I have the patient make a list of his
regular foods; then I require him to abandon every item of
it, and eat something else, even if he don’t like it.
It is quite possible that he has been eating something
that starts the spasmodic attack. Physicians call it "al
lergy,” that is, the reaction of the individual to certain pro
teins. Others may eat It with no harm following.
Antispasmodic agents—medicines--must be selected
by your doctor. He no doubt, has something that has
served him well, and his judgment is infinitely better than
yours. The use of opiates Is taboo—don’t ask him for a
shot of morphine with atropine. I have found a whiff of
chloroform effectual in stopping the spasm.—but be sure
that It is genuine, spasmodic asthma. Don't guess.
“Asthma” may come from heart, kidneys, or actual
disease of the lung. That is not pure and simple asthma.
Treat the cause always. Let your doctor determine. But try
changing your diet; that is a safe plan always. And, and
watch for underlying causes of the trouble. Asthma is one
of the most treacherous diseases. I wish I could cure every
sufferer from thiB dreadful complaint.
