MEATLESS DAYS ARE
SUCCESS IN WISCONSIN

MADISON, Wis, Oct. 1.-THE meat
less and wheatless days have been
made a success and Wisconsin once
more has broken the lead in helping
Uncle Sam win the war.
This was the conclusion reached Jy
Magnus Swenson, State Food Admin
istrator. today, after he had received
reports from nearly every county in
| the state.
The second meatless Tuesday was
observed by practically every hotel
and restaurant in the state and there
was the same observance of the sec.
ond whcatlcss Wednesday.
| The patriotism of the state III heing
| the first to establish these days has
( received the highest praise from
! Washington. Copies OF Mr. Swcnson's
| proclamation have been sent TO Wash
/ ington in response to a hurried call
/ for them. and these will be sent to
every state in the union. Mr.. Sven
son has been asked also to give the
! other states the benefit of his expert
! ence.
To the man who has given UP praC.
tically all of his time to the purely
honorary pOsition-so far as salary
goes OF state food administrator
the response of Wisconsin to the ma
tionaI appeal for food conservation is
particularly pleasing.
II am not surprised. but | am hap
py over the general observance oi
mcatlcss and wheatlcss day" he said
There will be a time when We will
point with pride TO this achievement
OF our state. II is all very hard to
get at now, but some day We will
have the figures to show what Wis
consin has done. That will pay fol
our sacrifices.
I'VE know that II the nation gOC!
without meat one day in each wCel
that we will save 2.2OO. .OOO. 900 pound,
in n year.
IL want now to acknowledge tn,
patriotic spirit with which the ho
tells and restaurants have taken ~
the conservation days. We have {
check on them, Of course. and ",
know that the hotel or restaurant
which served meat on Tuesday wa!

INSURANCE IN WAR TIMES

The National Board of Fire Under
writers has recommended that every
property owner have his property re-
valued and increase his fire insurance
upon the new valuation. The advice
should be followed by every man VIII
owns a home or a set of furniture.
Within the last ten years prices have
advanced on all commodities more thar
in any ten years previous. Within the
period of the European war prices on
many materials have doubled. 1t is
for that reason the underwriters are
urging property owners to Increase
their insurance.
The house that was built ten years
q at a cost of $5, 600 could not be du.
plicated today, at present costs OF la
Dor and material, for SIS, 5000. How alb
surd it is then to carry insurance on
this house that protects the owner on
only the 5000 valuation.
Fire insurance rates have not advanc-
ed since the declaration of war, but
they are about the only thing that has
not. Rugs. carpets, textiles, house
hold furniture, fixtures, machinery,
materials of all sorts if destroyed by
fire cannot be replaced for anywhere
near their former cost, and the man
who is under-insured will not find him.
self much better off in case of a fire
than the man who has nj insurance at
all.
Americas annual fire loss, based or
statistics gathered before the war, is
greater than the combined annual fire
losses Of Great Britain and France and
nearly as great as the combined annual
fire losses Of England, France anc
Germany. In such cities as New York
and Chicago it is estimated that n out
Of every twenty structures is annually
threatened by fire.
In the smaller cities the proportion
10 smaller, but In every community
the risk is far greater than it ought
to be, and while conditions in Ameri'
ca remain as they are 1t behoovee
every property owner to protect him
self against fire loss by proper insnr
ance. This does not mean over-insur
Ance, nor even the burden Of carrying
insurance to the full value of the pro
perty. But 1t liz certain that insur
Ance policies written two or thre
