- i { By DDUGLAS C. K'MURTRIE. (In the New York World.) At Is of great importance for every soldier . who _has been. wounded to know that under the provisions of the bureau of war risk insurance no. com- pensation will be paid for. disability unless a claim, for it is filed within five years after discharge or reslgua- tion. from, the. service, It is inevitable that a number of boys, careless about their future, will say, “The old leg feels all right again; #uess I won't bother pbuut filing any claim for my compensation.” They must be reminded that a wound may apparently heal and for the time will seem O. K., but after a dew years there may be a relapse. of ‘the ' old, trouble. If this occurs five firs after the man's discharge from the army he will not be able to col- dect his compensation, - because of failure to file his claim. The only person entitled to receive -compensation for. .disability is the anan himself, ‘In case of his death the :widow, child and dependent mother Aenefit. Application ‘must he made for &umpun\.ulon. as it is mot payuable autounnh . For ihis purpose the Purenu of war risk umuu.mu has pro- vided blank forms. Under the. provisiens of the war s!sk insurance act compensation given lor \disability, whether it i complete »ur -partial, will be paid during the ‘Ume that such disability’ 'exists, whether it lasts® for'a month or a difetime. No compensation will lm paid for vd_eath or disability occurring later than one year after a man leaves the service unless, after a uedical exam- ination made at the time of resigna- ~N\!t!on or discharge or within u reason- able mnv thorux\f!er ot exceeding from the l:umnu of Ance to the eflect that lho man was then suffering from an injury or a disease likely to cause death or dis- ability later, Compensation is_ not assignable or subject to .the claims of creditors. ) The military and naval authorities will provide the disabled man not only Apith Ordinary medical care, but also with special treatment to put him in the best condition possible to return 2o work. . Educational Advantages. While he is under treatment in re- construction hospitals, maintain®d by the surgeon gengral, United States sArmy, and the surgeon general, United States navy, he will be offered edu- wvational advantages which will pro- mote his recovery, put his time to © @&ood use and improve_his.chances for the future. If he has lost an arm or , @ leg a remporary aptificial limb will . e furnished him ar as early a date ‘As _possible while he is still in the lospital. Later a permanent arti- ficial timb of the most utodern type will be provided by the hureau of war fisk insurance, " It will be kept in re- Pair’ and replaced when worn out as long as. he lives at government ex- Pense. ; After completion of trenlmont and digcharge from the army or navy if he remains: permanently disabled the bureau of war risk insurance will pay him until the end of his life disability compensation, which is intended as an &id in working out his future plans. This compensation for disability is paid whether or not he has taken out & policy of war risk insurance. After discharge from the service ‘it he is disabled to any considerahle de- gree as to be entitled to com- pensation for disability, he is" offered training for a skilled job in which his lt/)jur_v will not prevent his earning £ood wages. Experience of our al- {ies has shown this to be entirely prac- ticable. Regardless of Earnings. Compensation for permanent disa- Bility will not be reduced or in 3 ‘tedd by what he may be & 1t is determined by his physical injury alone. He may have #arned before enlistment $20 a week, #nd be able after disability by reason of having token a .course of training, 10 ecarn $40 a week, yet his compensa- tion will be paid him just the same. Training after dischurge will be wrovided him at government: expense by the federal hoard for . vocational aducation, charged by congress with ‘the responsibility of restoring him to self-support. Tig . During the course of his training. in order that he may have no finan- cial worries, he will receive either the same pay as during his last month in * the service, or his compensation for - disability, which is larzer.

Bill and his friend Beck drove home after the club meeting and repeated the performance In -getting the car’ back in the garage. Then he went into the house. Presently the crowd came aleng .and yelled at Blll through the window. Of course, that entailed ex- planations on Bill’s part to his wife as to how he go: home first.

Having lived next door to the home of a minister, I was often called in to witness a hasty wediding. On one occasion the prospective bride and bridegroom arrived In- & farm wagon. After the ceremony was duly performed the bridegroom asked to be excused just a moment, and on veturning fbm his wigon he saldi “Parson, I have no money to give you, but here is a nice young rooster for your Thanksgiving dinner, and I will bring you a turkey for Christmrs.” On several occasions the minister saw the same muan in town, who seemed, to aveld him, One day on meeting him face to fate he sald: “parson, T may as well tel you that 1 am not golng to bring that turkey; 1 have found out she was not eyen worth the rooster I gave you.”—Chle eagn Tribune, e e .

The action of hot water and limestone = phosphate on an empty stornach is wonderfully invigorating. It cleans out all the sour fermenta- tions, gases and acidity and gives one a splendid appetite for breakfast. A quarter pound of limestone phosphate will cost very little at the drug store but is sufficient to demon- strate that just as soap and and hot water cleanses, sweetens and fresh- ilens the skin, so hot water and lime- stone phosphate act on the blood and internal organs. Those who are sub- ject to constipation, bilious attacks, acid stomach, rheumahc twinges, n]so those whose skin is sallow and com- plexion pallid, are assured that one week of inside-bathing will have them both looking and feeling better in every way.
