SERVICE MEN SLOW ! CLAIMING BONUS. Os the 4,500,000 veterans of the world war entitled to adjusted com pensation onlypensation only 1,450,000 have applied for the bonus. More than a million of the claims already have beenproved for payment. At present the bonus department is re ceiving about 30,000 claims a day. These facts were made known in a report issued by Major General Rob ert C. Davis, in charge of the bonus payment. In arranging for payment of the soldier bonus the United States gov ernment tackled what is said to be its biggest job. Pencils and pads were not sufficient for the work, and the government had special "fool-proof" machines designed to speed the service. These machines automatically add and subtract large sums, compute the length of service in years, months and days, and total the com pensation due according to the length of service. Their operation is simple, despite the fact that there are some 45 types of the machines, and it is virtually impossible for op erators to make mistakes on them. Therefore they have been called "fool-proof.” In addition to this work the gov ernment is handling tons of data in connection with the bonus work. There are millions of finger prints, and a service record, and other information about each veteran of the war. All of this information has to be studied with great exactness, and to do the gigantic task a great army of men and women workers is being employed by the government. Despite the great scope of the task the work is being done with surprisng speed. For example, it is possible to compute from (00 to 1,500 records of service in a day. The computation proceeds 60 minutes an hour for seven hours a day, and there are scores of operators who do nothing but work away oit the "fool proof" machines. New Method £ Heals Pyorrhea TEN YEAR BAD CASE COMPLETE LY HEALED IN A SHORT TIME WRITES FLORIDA WOMAN. Faced with the loss of her teeth, niter 10 years’ suffering, Mrs. M. .1. Travis, an esteemed resident of Jacksonville, declares she finally saved her teeth by a simple home treatment: “worth its weight in gold.” Using her own words: "After having pyorrhea for 10 years my mouth is now healed. Before I found out differently, I was told there was no relief and had yielded to the loss of six fine Bolid teeth. Then l discovered Moore's pyorrhea treat ment. Three days after starting its use, the soreness left my gums; my teeth began to tighten. Now my j teeth are clean, my breath sweet, and my mouth completely healed.” The experience of Mrs. Travis is duplicated in hundreds of other cases. If you have pyorrhea • or threatened with pyorrhea your teeth are in danger. Quick and effective treatment is necessary. You can test, without money risk, the treat ment used by Mrs. Travis. Simply 1 write the Mooreham Co., 1633 Gate way Station, Kansas City, Mo. Under their guarantee of refund seud two dollars. Or, pay postman the $2 with a few cents postage. Use the treat ment 7 days. Then if you are not wholly satisfied, write to that effect and your $2 will be returned at once. —advertisement. Try a Claussen Cake, all varieties. WILLIAMS* MARKET. ' d* J Delay Can Cause Much Damage The world often learns that much energy has been expended on a cer tain thing to no advantage or profit because the work has been done from the wrong angle or the approach has been wrong. This thought was prompt ed because of the many physical de fects found in school children. Much time has been wasted and much harm has already been done the child by delay. The truth Is that the inspec tion should be made early and the de fects corrected early, not necessarily An operation, but Quite often a change of diet or habit would have prevented the trouble entirely or corrected It If it had not progressed too far. Early examination, In fact, pre-natal work is most Important, and is far more so than many realise. Seaton For Smallpox Is Now Upon Us The season for smallpox is at hand; th« cold weather shuts us up In un veotilated rooms and we are In closer contact with our fellow man, conse quently the winter time sees certain diseases prevailing more generally than at other seasons. Smallpox is one of the diseases that we see in creasing. There is a certain remedy against this disease —vaccination. The baby should be vaccinated before It walks; it should be vaccinated at seven or eight years of age and after that when exposed to the disease. The new method of applying the virus does not tend to produce large scars and no bad arms unless the patient infects the sore. It requires no dressing, and above all things avoid the "vaccination shield." Different Ailments Respond To Very Different Methods The inhalation of chlorine gas as a preventive of colds is being written and talked about. It is now experi mental and, in some cases, no doubt, may do good. Vaccination for the pre vention of oolds has been tried with varying success. The failure of the various proposed remedies for catarrh al conditions is accounted for because of the many different Invading organ isms. They may be akin and, no doubt, are, but they differ enough not to be killed by the same method of procedure, and many individuals do not respond alike to the same remedy. All these and more reasons account for the failures that we have. Diphtheria Vaccinations, There Is no excuse for another death or, in fact, case of diphtheria. If such a case or death occurs, it can be charged as neglect or indifference. With the taxin - antitoxin perfected, there is no reasonable excuse for not using it on every child six months old or over. Has your baby been protect ed? and safeguarded? How aboul your grandchildren? The necessary vaccine can be had of the State Board of Health for 46 cents. There is no investment that pays like sanitation. Are your home an<! surroundings sanitary?

EARLY COUNTY NEWS PREDICT HIGHER PRICEFOR COTTON With the size of the current years cotton crop estimated at being be tween twelve and a quarter and twelve and three-quarter million bales, the big factor that will event ually govern prices in the neixt few months will be consumption of the staple here and abroad, accord ing to Atlanta cotton men. Statistics made public in Atlanta show that before the war the world annually consumed more than thir teen million bales of cotton. Last year’s world consumption was around 11,000,000. “Just what amount of this low i consumption was due to the price o? 30 to 35 cents for the staple and what amount to the disordered con dition of world commerce is any body’s guessi” said an Atlanta cot ton factor. "But there is every indication,” he continued, “that world cotton con sumption will speedily rise far above that figure, and in fact one can see no reason why the worl dconsump tion in the near future should De any lower than or even as low as it was before the war. “If there is anything like what Seneca Theatre TONIGHT AND FRIDAY D.
