NEW AND MORE LIBERAL
BENEFITS FOR EX-SERV
ICE MEN.
And Their Relatives and Ben
eficiaries, Effective
Dec. 24, 191S.
The following provisions of
the new law are of vital im
portance to the millions of
former service men, and their
relatives and beneficiaries.
Full publication which we
deem an important and patri
otic public service for the ben
efit of Ex-Soldiers, Sailors and
Marines and their families in
Woodruff county is given be
low:
Under the new Amendment
to the War Risk Insurance
Act, which has been passed
by Congress and which be
came a law on December 24,
1919, when it was signed byj
the President, war term insur-j
ance or United States Govern-!
ment life (converted) insur
ance policies may be made1
payable to any of the follow
ing list of beneficiaries:
Parent, grandparent, step
parent, parent through adop
tion, wife or husband, child,
grandchild, stepchild, adopted
child, brother, sister, half
brother, half-sister, brother
through adoption, sister thru
adoption, stepbrother, step
sister, uncle, aunt, nephew,
neice, brother-in-law, sister
in-law, a person who has stood
in the relation of a parent to
the insured for a peroid of
one year or more prior to the
insured’s enlistment or induc
tion, the children of such per
son ; parent, grandparent, step

adoption of the insured’s wife
or husband.
United States Government
life (converted) insurance may
now be paid at death in a lump
sum or in installments for 36
months or more, at the option
of the insured.
The rate of compensation
for disability has been greatly
increased. A comparison be
tween the amounts formerly
granted under the War Risk
Insurance Act with that pro-;
vided by the new law follows:'
Temporary Total Disability.
With neither wife nor child,
was $30.00 now $80.00
With wife but no child, was
$45.00 now $30.00
With wife and one child,
was $55.00 now 95.00
With wife and two children,
was $65.00 now $100.00
With no wife and three or
more children, was $75.00
now $100.00
With no wife but one child,
was $40.00 now $90..00.
With no wife but two chil
dren, was $50.00 now $95.00.
With no wife but three
children, was $60.00 now
$100.00
With no wife but four chil
dren, was $60.00 now $105.00
Extra allowance for depend
ent mother or dependent
father or both, was $10.00
each now $10.00 each.
Under the new law there is
an allowance to a man tempo
rarily totally disabled, and
with living, of $5.00 addition
al for each child (in excess of
one) without limit as to num
ber.
Total and Permanent Disability
Under the War Risk Insur
ance Act the same scale ap
plied for total and permanent
disability as for temporary
total disability. A distinction
is made between the two in
the new law. Under the latter
the compensation monthly for
total and permanent disabil
ity is $100.00.
Note: (a) Under the
new amendment if the dis
abled person is so helpless as
to be in constant need of a
nurse or attendant, an ad
ditional allowance is provided,
in the discretion of the Direct
or, not exceeding $20.00
Under the W. R. I. Act the
same provision was effective,
except that a man receiving
$10.00 per month (as outlined
in (b) below) could not be
given an additional allowance.
(b) Both under the W. R. I.
Act and under the new law,
compensation for the loss of,
both feet or both hands or the
sight ot both eyes, or for be
coming helpless and perma
nently bedridden is $100..00.
In addition, the new law pro
vides that compensation for
the loss of one foot and one
hand, or one foot and the sight
of one eye, or one hand and
the sight of one eye, shall be
$100.00.
(c) The new law provides
that for double, total, perma
nent disability'the rate of com
pensation shall be $200.00.
The new law provides that
each of the impairments men
tioned in (b) shall be deemed
to be total, permanent dis
ability.
Partial Disability.
The new law provides:
“If and while the disability
is rated as partial and tem
porary, the monthly compen
sation shall be a percentage
of the compensation that
would be payable for total
and temporary disability,
equal to the degree of the re
duction in earning capacity
resulting from the disability.”
“If and while the disability
is rated as partial and per
manent, the monthly com
pensation shall be payable
for total and permanent dis
ability equal to the degree of
the reduction in earning
capacity resulting from the
disability.”
Note: In no case is com
pensation payable for a re
duction in earning capacity
rated at less than 10 per
cent.

FRUIT JUICE JAG
MAY LAND YOU
IN LAWS HANDS.
Washington, Jan. 15.—In
one of the broadest construc
tions yet placed on provisions
of the act enforcement of con
stitutional prohibition.. Pro
hibition Commissioner Krem
er has ruled that fruit juices
and ciders come within the
dry ban if they contain more
than one-half of one per cent
alcohol. The law was sent
forth in a memorandum
charging prohibition direct
ors and inspectors with Jhe
added duty of examining he
alcoholic content of such bev
erages.
The drastic regulation went
into effect with constitutional
prohibition January 16. Vi
olation of it carries the same
penalties as for the manu
facture or sale of stronger
liquors.
Officials, in discussing the
ruling ,asserted that such a
step could not be taken under
war-time prohibition nor was
it enforcible under the prohi
bition laws of most of the
States. Hitherto the bureau
of interest revenue has held
fast to the policy of assessing
taxes against fermented liq
uors containing more than
one-half of one per cent, but
the regulations could not be
applied to ciders and fruit
juices because of the tech
nical language of the law, it
was said.
Strict enforcement of the
regulation will hold liable
dealers in fruit juices and
ciders in which the alcoholic
contents increaese even while
in storage. The department
does not intend', however, to
guage all beverages thus pro
duced, officials said, but a
“watchful eye” would be
kept on these manufacturers
and dealers. Natural fer
mentation will offer no ex
cuse for evasion of the regu-*
lation, it was declared.—Ark
