sending ont notices TO bankers, post
masters and others who have been in
the habit Of cashing pension checks,
that such checks on and after Dec. 4

indorsed by the pensioners in the pres
ence Of two responsible witnesses, who

States treasury department.
''The new regulations require that

or magistrate will be unnecessary. In
future, witnesses need not accompany
the pensioner to the bank unless for
purposes of Identification.
1t is also required that the pension
certificate be exhibited by the pensioner

do not agree, the check must be return
ed for correction before indorsing.
