PENsIoNs-wuo ARE ENTITLED.
Soldiers ALI soldiers of the United States
who incurred disability of a permanent ma
ture, whether wound, injury or disease. while
in the service or line of duty, are entitled to a
pension at rates varying from 81 TO ST2 per
month, according to the nature and severity
Of the disability.
ADDITIONAL.
Soldiers who draw a pension for one or
more disabilities, ana are at tn same tim
suffering from other disabilities incurred> n
the service and line of duty, may obtain ad
dltional pension therefor.
INCREASE UNDER OLD LAW.
Soldiers pensloned at less than $50 per
month, and wholly disabled for the perform
ance Of manual labor by reason of
disability on account of which they
are pensioned, are 9 titled to increase
of pension to that amount per month, and if
the disability is su Oh that they require the
regular aid and attendance Of another per.
son, they may obtain pension at the rate OF
$72 per month.
Any pensioner under the old law, whose
disability has increased since date of the
issue Of his last pension certificate, may OBJ
tain an increase of pension proportionate 70
the increase OF his disability.
ADDITIONAL NEW LAW.
Soldiers pensioned at less than SIC per
month for disability incurred in tho service,
who are also suffering from other disability
Of any nature, not due to vIciou; habits, may
obtain additional pension under the new
aw. This pension commences from the
date of filing the claim and cannot exceed Sl2
per month. The new law is of special ad-
vantage to this class of pensioners, for the
reason that If they have a disability other
than that for which they are pensIoned, they
may obtain additional relief from date Of fill
ing claim, and If, in the future, the disability
for which they were originally pensloned
underline old law increases to such an extent
as to entitle them to more than Sl2 per
month, they may surrender their pension
under the new law and resume the pension
under the old law at such increased rate as
may be proportionate to the degree of dis
ability at that time.
Pensioners at less than sl2 per month, de-
string increase of pension, will fnd 1t to their
advantage to apply under both the old and
new law, for the reason that any increase up
10 Sl2 por month will date from the day the
claim Is filed in the pension bureau. whereas
a claim for increase under the old law, will
secure increased pension duty from the date
OF examination, which, on account OF the
work in the pension bureau beng very much
delayed, is usually some months after tho date
OF filing the claim.
IN CASE OF NEW LAW PENSION
Any invalid pensioner under the new law
receiving less than SIP per month may obtain
an increase of pension whenever the disabil-
ity on account OF which he Is pensioned in
creases in severity TO q material extent, or he
may procure additional pension up TO Sl2 per
month on account of any now or additional
disability which he has incurred since his
last medical examination or which is not IN
cluded in his present pension certificate.
NEW Law
ANY soldier Of the United States who
served ninety days or more in the war Of the
rebellion, and was honorably discharged, may

fering from any disability OF a permspentn ma
ture, not due to vicious habits. This PEN
sion will commence from date of filing the
claim, and the rate OF pension is from s. TO
Sl2 per month, according to the degree of dis
ability for the performance OF manual labor.
Title to the pension is solely dependent
upon a service of ninety days, an honorable
discharge and the present existence of a
disability, physical or mental, not due to
vicious habits, which causes a partial inabil-
ity to perform manual labor as a means of live
llhood, equal to the degree OF disability re-
CURED to entitle n pensioner under the old
law to a pension OF 81 per month or more. 1t
does not matter what the disability is, if not
due to vicious habits, whether wound, injury
or disease, nor Is the time and place of the
origin or incurrence of the same in any way
material.

dependent upon the soldiers pecuniary cir
cumstances. The fact that he is able TO per-
form skilled or professional LABOR 10 such an
extent us TO enable him to earn a comfort
able support, or the fact that he has an in
come sufficient for his support, has no bear
nR upon his title 10 pension under this law
