O. S., Lacon, Ill.-The great trouble in
the settlement of pension claims is, and
has been for at least five years past, that
the Pension Bureau has sought to make
as large a number of allowances OF claims
with the expenditure of as small an
amount OF money as possible. The result
has been that claims filed only short
time, comparatively, have seemed to get
through quicker than those on file for a
number of years. As a rule, invalid pen
sion under the act of June q, 1880, com
mences only from date of filing Of the last
application. This is because the present
Administration continues in force sub
stantially the same rulings and decisions
and practice as that inauguTated by the
notorious Hoke Smith and his chief
henchu an, VIM. Dochren. The remedy
for all this, il is believed, is to be found in
a steady and persistent agitation oi the
matter by stirring up Congressman who
seem Ia be willing to allow such con-
dition OF affairs 10 continue.

The Great Feature
OF this Bath Cabinet is that it gives Hot

which, if retained, oyerwork the heart, kid

Department President Amanda Thomas
New comb, Montpelier, VI, writes: Yer
mont will again present the name OF her
most popular W.R.C. member as candl-
date for the next National President OF
the Wonlan's Relief Corps. The Depart
ment of Vermont firmly believes in its
right 20 have the National Presidency, for
many good and sufficient reasons: First.
we claim this right because OF the lo-
cality: because we have never had the
honor of that office in our Department;
and second. because for several years
the office has gone to the Middle or
Western States.
Another reason for urging our claims
for this high office is because Vermont
has war record second TO no State in
the Union; because her existence began
in struggles for freedom. and everywhere
that the starry emblem has advanced
Vermont has been staunch and true in
the foremost ranks To sustain the flag in
life. and If need be. To die for il.
One plank in the W.R.C. platform is
the care of the veteran and his dependent
ones, and gloriously has Vermont kert
the faith and carried out the grand sririt
of our Order i'm this regard. For this
reason she is entitled 10 a place among
