SOLDIERS NEGLECT TO. TAKE OUT INSURANCE
State Defense Council Asked to Urge
 Action Through Men's Families.

One million United States soldiers and sailors have thus far failed to take out the soldiers and sailors, in surance provided for them by the gov ernment. Because of this condition, the Council of National Defense has asked the Connecticut State Council of Defense to undertake 6 campaign to reach the families of the soldiers and sailors and through them urge ac- tion by the men,.
 The Council of National Defense is aiding the War Risk Bureau in the effort to get every man in the army and navy covered. The time for get ting under the insurance act expires February 12 and soldiers and sailors or their families must act before that time. ., -.
 The government insurance policy is not assignable, and payments ,un- der it to the insured or a beneficiary are not subject. to claims of creditors of the insured or beneficiary. The in- sured may at any time change the beneficiary or benegciaries
 The rate of insurance charged by the government is cheap. For premi- ums of $5,000, the monthly rate for a man 21 years old is $3.25; for a man 30 years old, $3.45; for a man 35 years old, $3.70. The insurance con- tinues in force during the present year and for five years thereafter, at. the close of which period the policy will be converted, upon application, with out medical examination into any form of insurance selected
 During the time the insurance is in force. the monthly premium to be paid the government increases at each an- niversary of the policy to the premium prescribed for the attained age of the policy holder.
 Premiums are to be paid monthly, and will, unless the insured elected otherwise in writing, be deducted from pay due from the government.

housewives Mr. Hoover says the. sit uation has become critical and MT. Scoville directed especial attention to the closing portion of the Hoover ap- peal:
 "If we are selfish, or even careless, we are disloyal, we are the enemy at home. Now is the hour of our testing. Let Us make it the hour of our vic tory; victory over ourselves; victory oyer the enemy of freedom >ss-
 The new home card, after directing Americans to trade and to eat. only where they see the well known official emblem of the food administration, with the sheafs of wheat encircling the national shield, says:
 Our problem is to feed the allies and our own soldiers abroad by send ing them as much food as we can of the most concentrated nutritive value in the least shipping space. These foods are wheat, beef, pork, butter and sugar.
 Our solution is to eat less of these and as little of all foods as will sup port health and strength. All saving counts for victory.
 The food administration asks every loyal American to help win the war by maintaining rigidly as minimum of saving, the following program: Have two wheatless days (Monday and Wednesday, in every week, and one wheatless meal in every day. Explanation: On wheatless days and F in wheatless meals of other days use no crackers, pastry, nfacaroni. break fast food or other cereal food contain ing wheat. st.f+ Have one meatless day (Tuesday) in Oyy los no1 iy1 every day. Have two porkless days | week. :, ,s-. '.s -s. | Explanation: Meatlesss means with out any cattle, hog or. sheep products. On other days use mutton and lamb in preference to beef or pork. Porkless means without pork, bacon, ham, lard or pork products, fresh or preserved. use fish, poultry and eggs. Make every day fat saving day (butter, lard, lard substitutes etc.). Explanation: Fry less; bake, broil boil or stew foods instead. Waste nc
 soap; it is made from fat.
 Make every day sugar saving day. Explanation: Use less sugar. Less
 sweet drinks and candy containing su-
 gar should be used in war time. Use fruits, vegetables and potatoes
 abundantly. -'- Explanation: These foods are health full and partly take the place of other foods which we must save. Raise all | you can for home use. Use milk wisely.
 Explanation: Use all of the milk l use sour and skim milk in cooking
 and for cottage cheese. | Hoarding food. Anyone buying and | holding a larger supply of food now
 than in peace time, except foods can
 ned, dried or preserved in the home
 is helping to defeat the food admins 1 tration in its attempt to secure a just
 distribution of food and the establish
 ment of fair prices Hoarding food
 in households is both selfish and un-
 necessary; the government is protect

Check Is Not Always a Receipt.

Many people when paying a bill
by check are under the impression
that the cancelled check will act as
a receipt and be accepted in court as
proof that the Indebtedness has been
paid. This is erroneous, as was de-
termined by a court decision where
the drawer of the check had to pay
the account. again. 1t developed
that nothing appeared either on the
check or the stub to show for what
purpose the check was given.
The easiest way for a person to
protect himself when paying by check
is to indicate on the face of the check
the amount and date of the invoices
in payment of which it is given, or if
given as payment on account it is
merely necessary to write the words
ION account"
With such additions there is little
likelihood that people will be made
to pay invoices twice or be harrassed
by law suit.
