SO far in 1917" says the Press, the
demand for life insurance has been be-

large number of companies, including
the largest corporations, show in
creased writings Of 1926 per cent dur
ing the first five months of the year.
Reports from the same companies show
that the new life insurance written in
May 1877, was 32.39 per cent greater
than in May, 1916. If a ratio of gain of
ii per cent holds good during the re-
naming I months Of the year as an
average for all companies. the 1917
record for new business in the United
states will exceed $685.. ne0, 900. in

must. however, be examined at the

Men who are physically fit and do
not claim exemption will await as

FOR BINDING SPRAINED ANKLE
Some Simple Directions That Will Be
Found Useful in Case of
Accident.

Take q strip of adhesive plaster
about two inches wide and twelve
inches long. Starting about the lower
third of the leg, bring it down under
the arch of the foot and up the oppo-
site side of the ankle, drawing it
tightly under the arch. Overlap this
about One-half inch with another
piece the same width and length.
Then, using One-inch-wide adhesive,
start from the heel and apply short
strips, each one overlapping the other
by about One-half inch, to meet and
overlap the broad strip on both sides,
running these strips up as far as the
lower third of the leg. Over these mar
row strips apply tw0-inch strips OF
the same length, starting from the
same point and running up the same
distance, each one overlapping the
other. Then draw a couple of short,
wide strips tightly under the arch, and
a narrow strip under the sole of the
foot and up the course of the tendon

INSECT AS AGENT OF DESTINY
Theories to Account for Death of
Enormous Creatures That Once
Roamed the Earth.

To account for the death of those
enormous creatures which once roamed
our western country and peOpled its
swamps and forests, the older geOlO-
giStS devised convenient theories,
such as changes Of climate, volcanic
disturbances. warfare among the spe-
CieS.
AS information accumulated, 1t be-
came harder and harder to make the
theories tit the case. Given time and
animal life adaptS itself to changes of
climate. Movements Of the earth are
seldom SO widespread that flight can
not be taken from Il disturbed area 20
one of safety. If giant lizard fought
mountainous mammal, why did the sur
vivOr 90? Theory, it was seen, must
be in keeping with the law of probable
tiles. 4 new and more reasonable
hypothesis has recently been brought
forward.
At the time that nature was expert
menting with monsters, there existed
lake in Colorado. 1t was surrounded
with forests which We're tCnanted by
hosts of insects. y volcano buried the
lake and its shores in ash. This hard
enCd into stone. Scientists go To this
ancient graveyard, split :hc stone and
bring To light the petritied bodies of
the butterflies and moths, the beetles
and bugs. Among these insects are
two species of tSetSe flies. There is
nothing like them in America today.
But in Africa they abound. They are
known as the carriers of the sleeping
sickness. one of the deadliest of dis
eases. II is fair to assume that the
tsetse flies Of MiOcene times We're the
hosts or distributors of disease bacili
as they are now. Upon that assumption
new theory can be constructed: The
tSetSe flies developed into a terrible
pest. AS they 1lOuriShed, their victims
grew less. In the course of centuries,
the bulky citizens of plain and marsh
gave up the warfare. They could fight
one another and yet live. They could
not deal with mercilesS insects.
The theory has this merit whatever
else it may lack. 1t is plausible where
its predecessors succumbed to clearer
thinking.-TOledO Blade.

When You Thread a Needle.

You may deny that your eyeSight IS
failing or not so good as it should be,
but when it comes to Notwithstanding
you are given away. Don't try to fool
yourself and waste precious minutes
thrusting q refractory thread into
needle-eye which you do not see. DO
il this way:
Thrust the needle through piece of
cardboard or stiff paper just as far
as the eye. The paper holds the needle
securely and throws the eye into re-
lief.
Another method that will help one
out of the difficulty is this: Some day
when the light is good, thread a whole
package of needles upon a spool OF
thread. Then instead of pOiing over
one needle at q time, while you are
sewing, all you have to do is to break
off a needle and thread until the whole
pack has been used.
There is a contrivance now on the
market consisting of a small magnify
ing glass, which fastens on the spool
and magnifies the needle-eye.

Something About Fish.

Did it ever occur to you that there
might be a reason for fish being dark
on the back and light underneath?
When we look into the water, it seems
so very dark, and we can scarcely dis
tinguish any fish, although they may
be very near the surface. And an en-
envy, looking from below, could easily
see the fish if it were not for the fact
that the lower part of the body is a
light color. Thus we find that the dark
back protects the fish from the enemy
above the water, and the light on the
underside of the body protects it from
the enemy living far down in the wa
tiers beneath.
