Red Tape
ABERDEEN. April 27.—The inexo-

trick on an Aberdeen veteran.
The man was incapacitated during
the war through an injury to his
foot, and when a large bunlon appear-
ed on the affected member a. grateful
country rewarded the veteran with a
small pension. However. the bunion
in time developed into a. more seri.

it was found necessary to amputate
the foot at the ankle.
The former soldier has just been
notified by the ministry of pensions
that his grant has been withdrawn
because the original disability has

to the Stamford Hall Sanitarium as a
“chronic lnebriate" following a hear-
ing in the Probate Court. when Dr.
