Insurance For Eyery Fighter.

Insurance For Every Fighter.
The Treasury Department IS
making every effort to have ev-
cry member of Americas fight
ing forces take advantage Of the
Government insurance plan
which Secretary McAdoo asserts
to be "the most just and humane
provision ever made by any ma
ton for its soldiers ana sailors.
The purpose is rapidly being
achieved, the insurance having
passed the third billion mark in
the total of policies written, and
there are many military units
in which every member has taken
insurance.
The automatic insurance pro-
vided by the law is only partial
and limited protection, payable
only to wife, child, or widowed
mother and ceases after Febru-
airy II, 1918. 1t is important,
therefore, not only to the sol
diers Of the country but to their
families and dependents, that be-
fore that date they avail them
selves Of the full Government
protection, which can go as high
as $4,000 and is payable to a
wife, husband, child, grandchild,
parent, brother, or sister.
The law also provides for the
reeducation and rehabilitation Of
the totally disabled and month
ly compensation to those disa-
bled.

If you bake bread at home, use
cereals than wheat and if
you buy bread buy only war
bread.
Our object is to buy and con-
sumo one-third less wheat pro
ducts than we did last year.
Have one meatless day tues
day. in each week and one meat
less meal every day. Have two
porkless days TUESDAY and
Saturday, in each week.
Meatless means without pork,
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 pro-
ducts fresh or preserved.
Use fish, poultry and eggs.
AS a Nation we eat and waste
nearly twice as much meat as
we need.
Make every day a fat saving
day (butter, lard, lard substi-
tutes, etc. Fry less; bake, boil
broil or stew foods instead. Save
meat drippings. Use them and
vegetable oils for cooking in
stead of butter. Butter has food
values vital to children; there
fore give it to them. Use it on
ly on the table. Waste no soup.
1t is made from fat. Be careful
Of all fats. We use and waste two
and one-half times as much fat
as we need.
Make every day a sugar saw
ing day. Use less sugar, sweet
drinks, and candy containing SUI
gar in war time. AS a Nation we
have used twice as much sugar
as we need.
Use fruits, vegetables and po-
tatoes abundantly. These foods
are healthful and plentiful and
at the same time partly take the
place of other foods which we.
must save. Raise all you can for
home use.
Use milk. Waste no part of it.
The children must have whole
milk. Use sour and skim milk
for cooking and for cottage
cheese.
Hoarding food. Anyone buy

Of food now than in peace time
except foods canned, dried or
reserved in the home is helping
to defeat the Food Administra-
ton in is attempt to secure a
just distribution of food and the
establishment of fair prices. The
food hoarder is working against
the common good and even the
very safety of his country.
Hoarding food in households is
both selfish and unnecessary.
The Government is protecting
the food supply of its people.
This card will be distributed
throughout Missouri by the
county food administrators as

New York State Meas
ure Should Help to
End Confusion

ALBANY, May 11.-New York State
has new motor vehicle headlight law.
1t came into existence last Wednesday
with the signature of the Governor. It
is hoped the law will do away with the
confusion over headlights that has ex-
listed among motorists in this state for
the last year. 1t is expected, too, that
the law will go far to remove the dam
ger and annoyance Of night driving in
this state.
The law confers on the office of Sec
rotary of State Francis M. Hugo the
authority, lacking hitherto, to name Of
ficially such headlights as come within
the requirements, following tests be-
fore technical experts or boards.
The new law states that any person
or concern may submit to the Secretary
OF State device for controlling the
front lights of motor vehicles, to the
end that this device shall then be sub
mltted for test to the United States
bureau of Standards or any other
qualified testing laboratory not inter-
ested IN any way in lamps or headlight
ing apparatus, or to u disinterested.

from the physical laboratory of uni
