BETTER THAN CASH BONUS
When the state legislature of Ne
braska passed the state aid veterans'
relief bill, general complaint was
heard among ex-service men because
Nebraska like other states didn't
vote its veterans a cash bonus. Now,
as the provisions of the bill are be
coming more generally understood,
and the increasing funds available
under the law permit the disbursing
committee to apply more liberal in
terpretation of the relief intended,
many of those who protested at the
start are becoming converted to the
belief that this bill will prove more
popular In the years to come than
even a most generous cash bonus.
The latest ruling of the committee
is that any ex-service man, his wife,
son or daughter, having to go to the
hospital (regardless of whether he is
needy or not) is entitled to his room,
board and ordinary nursing, to be
paid for out of this fund, at a rate
not exceeding $4 per day.
In addition to this, needy veterans
may file application stating their fi
nancial condition, etc., for the cost
of operations, surgical care, etc., but
those who are able are expected to
pay for these services themselves,
being entitled only to hospitalization
except in cases of need.
In the three years the state aid
fund has been available fully a thous
and dollars has been paid to Platts
mouth and Cass county needy ser
vice men, under the old application
for relief procedure, while cow with
the scope of the relief permitted so
greatly broadened, the state aid fund
will prove of much greater value to
the ex-service men of the state than
a cash gratituity, which in many in
stances would have been spent over

Although the stake aid fund is be

blanks are signed by local post offi

SOAP ONCE A COSilETIC
Gradually the use of soap has be
come general, or nearly so, and Lie
big says that a nation's degree of
Civilization may be jurtged by the
amount of soap it consumes.
Our present generation in America
consumes more soap than any people
in the wold. Our use of cosmetics
is increasing at almost the same rate
as it did in Gaul, thc-y used it as
salve in their historical origins.
Soap was made crudely ccnturi3
ago by the Gauls, but used as a cos
metic and not a cleanser. This is
recorded by the elder Pilny and we
have no reason to doubt it. This
cosmetic was made from tallow and
ashes and it turned the hair a bright
red. Goat suet and beechwood ashes
produced the most popular and fash
ionable results.
It is perplexing to evaluate the dis
covery of soap properly, for its origin
is so confused in vanity. Another
historian credits the invention of
soap, or a mixture that perhaps was
the genesis of soap, to a colony of
Phoenician settlers in Gaul, who used
it as a salve for eruptions on the
body. The lye was made from water

This source is of greater spiritual
