The claimant was 33 years old and his

sense contemplated by the statute. He is
certainly unable to perform any manual
labor; he can not bear his weight upon the
right lower limb and his right arm is afro
phied and wasted away; he has lateral
curvature of the spine and is slightly
idiotic, apparently from early arrested de-
velopment of his mental faculties; he can
not dress or undress himself, yet he is de-
clared by one medical board to be able to
perform mental work. 1t is not stated, nor
does it appear from the testimony, in what
manner of Intellectual pursuit he could earn
a salary sufficient to pay even for being
dressed and undressed by some other per-

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: At a

a unanimous vote as our candidate for next
National President.
We know that Mrs. Mohr would make a
faithful and efficient National President,
she having filled the Office of President OF
the New York Department for two years in
capable manner, giving her time and
money to the work Of caring for the veterans
and their dependent ones. During the past

served.-SARAH E.. WALDRoN, Press
