I have all expenses paid by the govern-j t I ment. Few soldiers or sailors seem j to be aware ut this privilege, which is theirs for the asking, and today the War Department instructed the on- j tire personnel of the otbee of the Assistant to the Secretary of War, in) charge of soldie-: employment and welfare work, to bring this to the ail! tent ion of all such men. Lieut. Colonel Mathew C. Smith, of the General Staff, and head of thej Bureau, has issued a bulletin for! nationwide distribution, which say. : "Any discharged service man who is ill need of medical treatment feels that his illness is due to wounds) or other disabilities received or aggravated while in service, should at once see the nearest army hospital or local representative of the United States Public Health Service for an examination. Addresses may be ac?rtaiued front the postmaster. The American Red Cross representatives atid state or municipal health officer also are able to advise service men about their cases and should be consulted. “If discharge or other papers show- j ing that the disability was existing a' the time of separation from service are available, they should be taken' along, as they will be of help in making decision on the case. However, if these papers are not available ihe man should not hesitate to appiy. Such an applicant will be immediately placed under treatment pending the receipt of the necesSnry papers. “If there is io representative of Die Health Service in the ex-soldier's home town and no army hospital at I hand, and it is possible for him, to . travel, such traveling expenses, hospital expenses ami wages lost while undergoing examination will be paid by the Govesnment, should it be de- < i#od that treatment is necessary. “On the other hand if the physical conditigu of the man makes it impossible for him to travel, he will be examined and treated at bis home In . special cases where it is found that a ! change of climate will be benificial : patients will be sent to specially des-j ! ignated hospitals.“ 1 I 1 — ; PRACTICE SCHEDULE FOR VACATION From 10 to 12—Monday. boys in I the'grades 1 to 4; Tuesday, girls in I the grades, 1 to 4; Wednesday, boys I in the grades. 1 to 4; Thursday, I girls in the grades 1 to 4; Friday.
