SOLDIERS INSURANCE

There are features Of the allot-
ment, war risk, and insurance laws
that could best be managed through
local boards, knowing their own
neighborhoods. The end of the war
finds the United States Army, in con-
junction with the treasury, admins
tering an insurance business SO large
that the aggregate of risks exceeds
the sum total of all other insurance
companies put together. The total
runs into the ten of billions Of dol
lars. 1t is proposed to reissue these
war risks in the form Of regular life
insurance, and this can be done at
considerably lower rates than those
of the standard insurance companies.
1t is almost certain that in the Eu-
ropean countries the principle of
government insurance, which has al
ready been carried far, will have a
good deal of extension in the scheme
Of postwar reforms. 1t is likely
enough that the soldiers insurance
experiment of the United States will
lead to a permanent and gneral sys-
tenn Of governmental insurance as in
some of these foreign countries.

The foundation was built last fall,
and the bases and die, furnished by

placing these pieces will be done at
once, unless bad weather interferes,
but it is understood that the unveil-
ing will not take place until next
spring, the date to be fixed later.
AS many of our people are aware,
the committee of ladies having this
enterprise in hand have
labored under many dlsadVant-
ages,-the world war coming on with
it's repeated and urgent demands,
and, naturally, these claims OF Nd
tional and international scope, served
for the time being to relegate local
interests to a sort Of second place.
Now, that wars have ceased and the
stress of a war-mad world relieved,
If is hoped that no further delays or
o,,,horroc cr,anf will be experienced,
and on the day of the unwilling one

pleasure and satisfaction of the oc-

turn by that time is confidently
anticipated.

At a meeting of the Fourth Quar-
terly Conference of Monterey charge
M. E. Church South, the following
preamble and resolutions we're adopt
ed:
WHEREAS Brother Albert Gum,
who at the time when called to the
service of his country, was Superin-
tendent of the Hightown Sunday
school and a member of this quarter
ly conference, and Brother Russell
Hevener, member of the
same school and a loyal member of
our church, have both fallen in bat
tie on the fields of France, therefore
be it
Resolved list, That we do hear
the voice of the dead in France, in
imperious tones they address our con
science. We rejoice that their lives
ended most worthily. We dare not
say they lost their lives; they gave
them for us, therefore we are con-
concerned that the heritage they
have left us shall not be wasted or
forgotten. They gave their lives
for an eternal cause, land those lives
will be lost only when Americans,
feeling secure, fall asleep a Liberty's
post of duty.
Col. John McRae, who now him
self lies buried in France, on Fland-
ers' fields, writes,
"Take up the quarrel with the foe,
To you with falling hands we throw
The torch, be yours to hold it high;
If you break faith with us who die,
We shall not sleep, tho poppies grow
On Flanders fields"
We will not drop the torch that
has been thrown to us by the fall
ing hands of our boys who lie in
Flanders fields. We rejoice that
we can now see Americas sons re-
turning victorious over despotism,
crowned with glory. We see the
graves of the fallen sons Of Liberty
become the landmarks Of Freedom,
the holy shrine of the new time.
End We extend our sympathy to
the sorrowing homes of these our
fallen brethren, and pray God that
He will speak to each of their hearts
in tones sweeter than an angel could
pronounce, "Thy son, thy brother
will live again"
3rd-- That a copy of these resolu-
lions be placed on the minutes of the
Quarterly Conference, copy sent to

copy furnished the local and church
papers for publication.

BEAR KILLED IN BATH.

A big bear was trapped and later
killed in the Cleek community in the
edge of Bath county last week. Some
one found Bruin feeding on pork, a
hog just killed by him, and Mr..
Cleek being notified, set a trap and
caught him the following night.
A heavy log-chain was attached to
the trap, and the bear had gotten
something like four miles from the
scene when over-taken and killed,
going in the direction of Allegheny
mountain. The bear weighed over
500, but was not fat.

SPANISH INFLUENZA OR GRIP
RY DIR. LEE Fl, SMITH.
BY DIR. LEE Fl. SMITH.

An old enemy is with us again, and
whether we fight German or a germ,
we must put up good fight, and not be
afraid. The influenza runs very brief
course when the patient is careful, and
if we keep the system in good condition
and throw off the poisons which tend to
accumulate within our bodies, we can
escape the disease. Remember these
three C's-a clean mouth, clean skin,
and clean bowels. To carry off poisons
from the system and keep the bowels
loose, daily doses of pleasant laxative
should be taken. Such one is made
of May-apple, leaves of aloe, root of
jalap, and called DR.. Pierce's Pleasant
Pellets. Hot lemonade should be used
freely if attacked by a cold, and the
patient should be put to bed after hot
mustard foot-bath.
To prevent the attack of bronchitis or
pneumonia and to control the pain,
Anuric tablets should be obtained at the
drug store, and one given every two
hours, with lemonade. The Anuric tab
cts were first discovered by DR.. Pierce,
and, as they flush the bladder and
cleanse the kidneys, they carry away
much of the poisons and the uric acid.
It is important that broths, milk, but
ermilk, ice-cream and simple diet
De given regularly to strengthen the sys-
em and increase the vital resistance.
The fever is diminished by the use of the
Anuric tablets, but in addition, the fore
head, arms and hands may be bathed
With water (tepid) in which table
poonful of salaratus has been dissolved
a quart. After an attack of grip or
pneumonia to build up and strengthen
he system, obtain at the drug store
rood iron tonic, called Irontic" Tab
