Your HEALTH

Since we are mt war. let us have the

date to point ont the almost self-evi-
dent fact that sickness will decrease
the national efficiency by just so
much, whether II be among soldiers
or noucombatants, but the general
public does not give enough attention
to this aspect of wars demands, the
accent being placed on more spectac-
ular elements of preparedness.

However much we admire and won

adapts machinery to lace making, aud
however pretty machne-made lace
may be, they can never hold the same
place In the regard of women that
handmade laces hold. This Is the rea-
son that everyone Is so industriously
crocheting and knitting and making
tatting In these busy days. Even busi-
ness women, on elevated trains or cars,
going to and from offices, often prefer
lace-making to reading, and probably
have about as much definite knowledge
of current events rs those who devote
themselves everyday to newspapers. At
all events they have something to show
for their time.
Handmade laces are more durable
than those made by machnes-as Il
rule-and they make the most accept

TROOPS At Ell PASO ARE

El Paso, Tex. Jan. 21.--All troops
in the Ell Paso district designated by
General Funston to return home are
ready to move tomorrow, according
to Brig, Gen. George Bell. Jr.. COM
mander of the border district here
But General Bell said tonight it
would probably take month for all
the $4,000 troops which were included
in the order to depart. as it was the
intention of the war department to
send these troops home in standard
sleepers. Because of a lack of suf-
ficient sleeper equipment to move all
of the troops at one time, General Bell
predicted that it would require from
three weeks to one month to entra.a
all of the troops.
If the troops move from the border,
according to seniority of service ons
the border. the Pennsylvania units will
move first.

LIFE INSURANCE
MONEY INVESTED
IN REALTY LOANS
Farm and City Property Sup
plant Railroad Bonds in
Point of Aggregate Amount
of Money Invested,

New York, Jan. 21.--Real estate
property have supplanted railroad
bonds as the largest single class of
investments held by life insurance
companies, according to report made
public here tonight by the Association
of Life Insurance Presidents.
The report shows that from 1904
to 1914, real estate mortgage loans
increased from 27.S7 per cent of the
assets of American companies to 34.40
per cent.
THE amount OF these loans at the
end of 1914" the report states, was
1,660, 900, 900, out of total assets of
S4,S30, 100000. In 1904 these loans
amounted to 100000. Railroad
honds have decreased from 30.16 per
cent of the life insurance assets in
1904 to 26 per cent in 1914. In actual
amount however, the holdings of life
insurance companies in railroad bonds
increased during the decade from
$750,0O0.000 to $3.50, 900, ,000-or
6732 per cent. The wide apparent
variation between the decrease in per-
centage and the large actual decrease
in amount, in the case of railroad
bonds, is explained in part by the fact
that the assets of life insurance COM
panies were doubled during the de-
cade referred to.
In striking contrast to the reduc-
ton in the proportion of railroad Sc
curities held by life insurance com
panies is the increase in the holdings
of such securities by savings banks
from $291. 100000 to $87S,OOO,O00 in
the same decade"

The commission sailed from New

The portion of the report made
public today said in part
Even at this time, with the war
raging, it was found that there Is
much reconstruction and new build
ing ready to be undertaken. When
peace comes, the amount of construc-
tion of industrial plants generally will
be large. both in France and Belgium.
ain France alone, along the battle
front, more than 400 factories have
been destroyed.
1T is likely an industrial survey
will be made to locate the planta

may depend for her safety in times
of war, away from the frontier re-
gions, will be borne in mind.
