IT Mi Very few citizens realize that, we have in the United States todayrbe tween two hundred and thlrtyand two, hundred and sixty thousand'meh with more than ten per cent'pefman ent disability, either incurred thru wounds or disease, . ," Of this number the UnitecTStates Government, through the enactment of the Smith-Sears Bill has provided that every man whose dlsablllfyor injury is such that he cannot return to hia former means of livllhood shall be re-educated at the Government's expense. This means that about twenty thousan'd men are entitled to loam any trade which they may select, and which Is commensurate with their icjjgucles whether it be a six month3-sales'manshlp'"or"a four' years college course. AH tuition is paid by the Government and an allowance for living expenses of not less than sixty five and not more than eighty dol lars a month to made.

To supply this want the "Carry Gn" Association has been formed, It li endorsed by the Government, and is co-operating with the Federal De partments who have the care of re educating these men. For ten dollars per week, which a man among the first twentyihous and pays from his compensation of from $65.00 to $80.00 per month this association supplies him with the best food, room, laundry, medical and dental care, clothes and trans portation. This leaves a man'enough to keep up his Insurance and have enough left for outside expenses and amusements.
