TO OBTAIN DENTAL SERVICE
Veterans, to Receive Treatment, Must
Comply With the Conditions
Prescribed.

An outline Of the procedure for ex-
service men to obtain dental treatment
has been prepared by the national
service division Of the American Le-
gion.
Dental treatment will be furnished
by the bureau Of war risk insur-
ance to veterans of the World war
under the following conditions:
l. Where a person has been award
ed compensation for dental disability.
2. When such treatment is neces-
sary for the cure Of a condition which
resulted from military service and is
the reason for which compensation
has been awarded.
.. In emergency cases which are
Immediately necessary for the relief
of conditions endangering the life of
the patient or causing great pain.
Claimants who have not been award
ed dental disability, but feel they
should have such due to military
service, should Immediately file claim
In the regular manner; whereupon
they will receive an order from the
district medical supervisor to report
TO the nearest dental examiner for ex-
animation and such emergency treat
ment as may be required. Approval
of the dental examiners report must
be made by the bureau of war risk
insurance.
To receive the benefits of the dental
laws. claimants must pursue their case
through the regular channels, as bills
contracted outside of the authority of
the bureau Of war risk insurance will
not be paid, except where sufficient
evidence Is produced that the case was
or that the claimant was
ignorant of his rights to dental treat |
ment.

years. Enoch, father of Methuselah, is
reported TO have died at the then COM
paratively early age Of 365 years al
though his son reached 969 years. Ac-
cording TO some explanations, the an
clients Of these times really lived no
longer than modern men and women. a
different unit of time being referred to.
The years" of Methuselah, II Is con-
tended by some scientists, really were
periods Of the moons changes By
Others the explanation is advanced
that the life of a tribe or family was
referred to rather than the life of an
individual.
The present age, however, has an
advantage over the ancient period, IL
is pointed out, In that now human life
is gradually increasing in length. Just
the reverse was true in the ancient De-
RODS. Noah lived more than 900 years
as years were then counted, but his
son Shem died at 600. Shem's son
lived only 43S years. Four generations
later the descendants of Noah were
dying Mt between 100 and 200 years.
Jacob died at ia. while Moses lived
to be only 125. David died at 20 and
Solomon at 5S.

also the restaurant cook.
Jones began his musical career as
chef of a Winnipeg grenadier regiment
during the war Later he tended the
private skillet of Gen. Sir Julian Byng
at Vimy Ridge, and more important
than that, he wrote Rose of No Mans
Land" the war song that had a long
run Of popularity. A penny whistle
which he bought and played for the
prime purpose of amusing his kitchen
police caused his rise to, music fame,
he declared.
In France he was transferred to the
officers mess. There Lieutenant Col
onel McRae, who later wrote "In Flan-
ders Fields" heard the penny whis-
Ting and the two became friends.
Some time afterward they together
turned out the words and music Of
the No Mans Land song.
Jones, wounded at Cambria, was in
valided back to Canada. After his
discharge from the hospital he began
a sightseeing tour of the states, de-
pending upon his cooking ability for
ready employment. He now has

he hopes to put forth soon.

to have her case continued two days

The study Of persons claiming ad-
vanced age is regarded as one of the
most interesting of the many examina-
tiOns Of material made each ten years
by the census bureau. Examiners are
somewhat inclined to cyniclsm concern
ing claims of more than 100 years be-
cause many prove TO be without founda-
tion, they say. According to one inter-
probation of the reports of previous old
age counts, the number of persons
claiming 100 years is constantly dimin-
ishing in proportion to the total popu-
lation. THAT may be because of
more careful examination of claims
rather than decrease in the number
of centenarians, officials admit. The
absence In the United States Of
uniform system of birth registration
makes 1t often difficult to investigate
the statements of persons claiming to
be more than 100 years of age. On the
other hand. it also works to make 1t
difficult for real centenarians to prove
their extreme age.
