Uncle Sam Ready
To Care for Men
Disabled in War

All men who have been disabled 10
per cent and can trace their disability
TO military or naval service are en-
titled to free medical attention and
compensation commensurate with their
disability. This announcement has
been made by the Bureau Of War Risks.
II. lieu Of the fact that many men now
dlscharged have seemed ignorant Of
this opportunity.
To April the Bureau Of War Risk
Insurance has made more than 1905
awards Of compensation TO men dis
abled in the war. These awards carry
with them each month payments
which amount TO s712,2s912. Compen-
shtion awards approved by the bureau
to date total r1orc than $4,000, 900
Medical authorities estimate that
more than $4,000 men have been dis.
charged from service with tubercular
trouble. Less than 5000 men have
availed themselves Of the free treat
mcnt. Some of these cases resulted
from Influenza, pneumonia and causes
incident to trench life; but many, the
physicians believe, were inciplent when
the men were accepted, not sufficiently
developed, however, to appear in the
first physical examination.
Under the Interpretation Of the war
risk insurance act any man accepted
and any disability which may have be
come apparent is assumed to be due
to causes sustained in duty More than
S9,000,000 was appropriated in the last
Congress for treatment Of disabled
men under direction of the Bureau of
War Risk Insurance. Twenty one hos
pitfalls already have been established to
care for these men, and skilled medical
treatment is provided. Those who need
immediate attention should apply for
it to the United States Public Health
officer in their district. Those whose
cases do not demand immediate atten-
tion should make application for
monthly compensation and medical at
tention to the Bureau of War Risk In

Canada lost her greatest statesman when SIT Wll- frid Laurier died yesterday This statement is made in spite what regard gr1evous error on the question of the Canadian seective draft, which ne opposed and which his undoing in the pollticai campaign last year. in what has proved to be his last battle It is based his record in public life extending period of AZ years Ills elo- ouence his charming personality and his early de- veloped vision him place in the public eye carry in life.

 Rou may have noticed that the man who never has a word to say when he is getting the best of it does an awful lot of squawking when he happens to be getting the worst of it.

 You can't make a woman believe that it is Flattery when some man is praising her for qualities she knows she doesn't possess.
 The man who is blind to his owr faults hasn't bit of difficulty in seeing the faults of other people.
 After looking over the record we are forced to admit that the popular election of Senators did not result in the election of many popular Senators.
