A HOOVER QUOTATION

"Go back to the simple life; be contented with simple food, simple pleasures, simple clothes. Work hard, pray hard, play hard. Work, eat, recreate and sleep. Do it all eourageously. We have victory to win" ",-Herbert Hoover.
 More timely advice was never given, but like all good advice, we fear that the majority of the people will not take heed until it is too late. If a census could be taken of the Iaboring men today, the men who are sat to be earning enormous wages, we feel sure that 90 per cent would much rather go back to the good old days when they received $15 per week when the lobbyist and high fi- nance men were in style.

SOLDIER INSURANCE

Secretary McAdoo has called upon all local draft boards to acquaint drafted men with the provisions of the soldier-insurance law and to urge every drafted man to take out this insurance. The boards have been furnished with literature to aid them in this educational work
 The law affording insurance to our fighting forces has we'll been called the most just and humane provision ever made by nation for it's soldiers and sailors. The Government and the American people recognize the justice of affording this protection to the men who risk their lives for their country and to their families and de- pendents at home. It is only just to themselves and to their families and dependents that our fighting men avail themselves of this opportunity.
 Every American enlisting should take out this insurance and carry with him into danger the heartening Knowledge that whatever happens, himself and his dependents are pro- tected by his Government.

THE SOLDIERS CHANGES

Great as the danger and large as the losses in the aggregate, the indi- vidual soldier has plenty of chances of coming out of the war unscathed, or at least not badly injured.
 Based on the mortality statistics of the allied armies, a soldiers chances are as follows:
 Twenty-nine chances of coming home to one chance of being killed.
 Forty-nine chances of recovering from wounds to one chance of dying from them.
 One chance in 500 of losing limb.
 Will live five years longer because of physical training, is freer from disease in the Army than in civil life, and has better medical care at the front than at home.
 ln other wars from 10 to 15 men died from disease to 1 from bullets in this war 1 dies from disease to every 10 from bullets.
 For those of our fighting men who do not escape scatheless, the Govern ment under the soldier and sailor in- surance law gives protection to the wounded and their dependents and to the families and dependents of those who make the supreme sacri- fee. for their country.
