MAKING 4 WILL

4 WHOLE eastern community is
IA just now wrought up, a half
dozen branches of a prominent
family are quarreling, several banks
are in doubt and a number of lawyers
are earning fat fees because a certain
wealthy man left no will when he died
suddenly and thereby tied up a fortune
that ought to have been divided as he
no doubt fully intended that it should
be. Unfortunately, however, he was
one whose motto was Never trouble
trouble till trouble troubles you," and
so his widow and his family are likely
to lose much that he evidently in
tended that they should have. There
is a universal lesson in this man S
tangled affairs.
Did you ever stop to think, Mr.. Man
who doesn't believe in troubling
trouble till trouble troubles you" and
who therefore puts off making a will
until on life's last legs, and some
times not then, that you are doing
very selfish thing? Don't you realize
the suffering and annoyance that is
caused by failure on the part of men
to provide for their property and pos
sessions after they are gone? 1t is
as much a mans business to look to
the future of his wife and children
as it is to provide for comfort and
ease while he is alive.
If you are interested in the subject
of wills. and there is no reason why
the subject should be any more dis
agreeable than life insurance, you will
be benefited by reading the article in
the current Good Housekeeping on the
subject by Samuel scoville, Jr. The
gist of the example which the author
uses is that there lived a man of prop
erty and his wife. They had no chill
dren., In addition there were two sis
ters who were not on friendly terms
with him. At his death the widow,
instead of getting all of the real estate
of which her husbands property con-
sisted. received only the income from
one-haIf of it for life and her widows
exemption of some five thousand dol
lars, as provided in the special law
passed by the Pennsylvania Legis-
lature in 1909. Except for that half
life interest the property went abso-
lutely to the mans elderly sisters; an
outcome which neither husband nor
wife had anticipated and which the
making of will would have prevented.
1t is true that had the woman had
children the law would not have given
any of the property to the sisters. but
there are so many twists and turns to
the laws that the only safe thing is to
have a will properly and carefully
drawn. Then there will not be lot
of unpleasant surprises in store when
the will is executed.
Just as matter ofInterest. the law
of Pennsylvania staths that in case
there be children. the widow receives
one-third of the real estate for life and
all personal estate absolutely. If there
be no children. she receives but half
the real estate for life and all the per-
sonal property, as she did in the case
cited above.

HOW TO LIVE LONGER

FOOD-HuIe 5-FOOds are OF two
kinds-repair food and fuel food. The
repair foods are called "proteins." The
fuel foods are called Carbohydrates"
and flats"
We must eat a certain amount of
protein" or repair food, each
day to replace these parts of the
body which are being used. up. If we
food, than we really need, the surplus
food decays in the bowels and makes
poisons This works the liver and kid
neys too hard because they are the
parts of the body which have to get rid
of these poisons
There are two foods which we all use
and which have this protein" or re-
pair food, in large amounts. These
foods are meat and eggs. IL we eat
too much of meat and eggs we get
more protein" or repair food, than the
body needs. This makes poison. Eat
little of meat and eggs.

THE MILITARY SYSTEM

The militia might be made as effec-
tive a reserve for the regular army as
the proposed Continental army would
have been. The objection of Judge
Garrison, and of all. or very nearly ali.
the military authorities is to a force
under State control. and not under Fed
eral control till the emergency occurs.
To be an effective reserve the militia
Will not only have to be subject to ma
tional control, but 1t will have to be
kept free from men with families, and
men over-age and under-conditfon If its
regiments are to enter the Federal SER
vice as units At present a large part
of the militia consists of men who
would not, or ought not to go to the
front except as last resort. Hence
the militia regiments can't be taken in
to the United States army as units. The
President must call for volunteers and
a new force must 0e created out of in
dividuals. from the militia and outside
OF IL. This takes time.
