SOME of the old soldiers who hope to get q
pension under the new law have no little

meut at Washington. II a notary public has
his certificate properly filed there will be no
trouble. The law specifically states that no
charge shall be made for taking these afidavits,
but many . veteran has had to pay the regu.
lar price. Applicants need have no fear of
being charged at the Prothonotary's office.
