The medical boards 'note every disability, no matter its degree or what its erigin, but the members must certify that the dis- ahility was received while on act- ive service. The degree of dis- ghitity determines the amount of pension It is pointed out that there (is no possibility of neglect in any case and no man is required to make application for pension under the system in force The report of {the medical board goes to the | Board of Pension Commissioners {for Canada at Ottawa, whose medi | cal advisers "classify the disability and the man's name is immedidtely | placed on the list cf the district | eer that he comes under The | district officers for M.D. No. 3 are sitnated at Ottawa and Kingsion, and the Kingston office now has 1,- 500 returned soldiers drawing pen- sions The disabled pensioner re- ceives a pension for his disability independently of what he may earning and the amount is monthly in advance SPEEDY HORSES ENTERED RACES ARE ANTICIPAT- HOLIDAY. 1 no exerci that t he paid OLASSY ED ON Civic Kingston Gentlemen's Matinee and Driving Club Making Artange- ments For the Biggest Day in City's History.
