UNCLE SAM NOW IS THE
BIGGEST INSURANCE MAN
figures Of the War Risk Bureaus
\ Show Great Growth OF
Military.

Washington, July 29.-Some idea OF
the growth of the military forces OF
the United States can be gained from
figures made public by the bureau OF
war risk insurance, which show that
almost 100000 soldiers and sailors
have applied for government insurance
totaling more than $4,000, 100000.
Secretary McAdoo announced that
the number of applications exceeded
1854, coo for grand total of $25, 148,-.
118.O00. In the last four days under
rapid-fire methods of writing insur-
ance, upwards of $1,O00,O00,OOO has
been written. The total for July Will
be close to $4,000, 100000.
The maximum policy under the law
is for $4,000. The average amount OF
insurance applied for per man has
steadily increased during the last four
months, and is now about $500.
The bureau of war risk insurance
it is stated now has more insurance
in force by $4,000, 100000 than the or
binary life insurance companies OF the
United States combined.
One feature of the statement intend
ed to quiet the fears of benefciaries
reads as follows:
Persons who have been named as
beneficiaries under the war risk in
surance but have not yet received
their insurance certificates are remind
ed that these certificates are not es-
sential to make the insurance pFotec-
ton effective.
"The certificate is merely evidence
of the existence of the contract of in
surance and forms no part thereof
mo apprehension should be felt by
persons who have not yet received
Their certificates. They are being seht
forward at rapidly as possible

Splendid Young FlIlies

caslonally the appetite may be too raw
enous to be a good indication. The
general condition of the colt and the
droppings should be observed daily.
Usually not over one pound of grain
per 100 pounds Of live weight should
be fed until the animal is two years
old. A liberal supply Of salt and good
water and plenty Of fresh air and exer-
else are essential for the proper de-
velopment Of young horses. Idleness
succeeding exercise will cause consti-
patton. 1t is often said that a horse Is
made during his first winter. Certainly
this is critical time In the animals
life, and at no other age will proper
feed and attention do as much to make
Of him a good horse. If stunted during
the first winter he never will gain
proper size and shape.
During the second winter the feed
and management should be nearly the
same as for the first winter, except
that the quantity Of feed should be In
creased somewhat, the colt tied up in
his stall and handled frequently. Edu-
cation by gentle and careful but firm
handling at this age will save later
much strenuous labor.

KEEP YOUNG HORSE GROWING
Good Practice, When Not Carried to
Extremes, to Allow Colts TO Rough
1t In Winter.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agricultural
Colts that are kept growing make
the best horses. Some farmers allow
their young horses to trough IT,
through the winter and, although this
is good practice when not carried to
extremes, If the feeder is not careful
1t may give the colt a setback which
permanently retards its development
Feeds that viii promote growth
should be supplied. Good, clean clover
hay is palatable and slightly laxative.
Timothy hay commonly is fed. Well
cured alfalfa hay free from dust is one
Of the best roughages for growing, but
because Of its relatively high protein
content it generally is economical to
supplement 1t with other roughage such
as timothy, mixed hay, or corn fodder.
Besides lending variety to the ration
such method Of feeding alfalfa would
Offset any likelihood of kidney or
bowel Irregularities. Sheaf oats can
be used to good advantage to supple
ment other roughage. The animals
should not be allowed to gorge them
selves on dry feed. They should be
given only what they will clean up
readily, but at the same time enough
feed should be supplied. Oats, corn
and peas, preferably fed ground, are
suitable grains. Bran, oil meal or glu-
ten feed will add protein and lend vari-
ETY.. Cottonseed meal should not be
fed to foals. Appropriate grain ra-
lions for the first winter are: Two
parts corn, FIVE parts oats, three parts
bran and one part oil meal; or four
parts oats, one part corn and one part
bran.
Silage should not be fed to foals to
any considerable extent. Sliced roots,
such as carrots and sugar beets, are
very palatable and have a cooling eff

quantity of feed generally should be
regulated by the appetite, although oc-

cLEANINe LIE MEDICINE COST


The medical temperance department
Of the National w. G. I. U. has been
no small factor in cleaning Uncle Sans
medicine closet. The superintendent
Of this department, Mrs. Martin NJ. Al
len Of New York, thus describes the
process:
"When we started in to clean the
medicine chest of the great United
States, the chest was a dreadful sight.
Whisky, port wine, sherry wine, beer to
give strength, brandy and gin for GER
tain ailments all stood in proud array
on prominent shelves.
"To attempt to clean up such medi-
cine chest was a task sufficient to ap-
pail stout hearts. But few brave
souls said the task should be done, and
gradually, surely the cleaning has been
going on. Some of the best physicians
Of the country aided in the task. Soon
the whisky bottle for the consumptive
was thrown away, then the brandy for
the typhoid fever patient, Beer and
wine were swept off the shelf by the
aid of athletes who had proved that
these drinks weaken instead of giving
strength. Whisky for pneumonia was
the next to 90, and finally the American
Medical association swept off the last
remaining bottle of alcohol as unneces-
sary in the treatment Of any disease"

Java's SUGAR Production.

Java is such q fruitful land that one
hesitates to specify the principal crop,
but it is one Of the great sugar-pro-
ducing countries Of the world. The
annual export Of sugar amounts to
something like 100000 tons. People
are so accustomed to thinking of sugar
in terms of pounds that nearly 2OOO,-
600 tons Of sugar seems to have a stu
pefying effect on the mind. There are
more than 100000 acres of land under
cultivation in sugar on the island of
Java and the average yield per acre is
four and one-half tons, which is yield
that is high above the average Of
sugar land.

THE CIVILIAN ARMY AS IMPORT.
ANT AS THE SOLDIER ARMY.

The sale of liquor to the soldier in
training in the United States has been
forbidden, so that he may be strong,
alert, steady-handed, always ready,
working with esprit de corps. At ev-
cry essential point there is exactly the
same reason for abstinence from liquor
by the civilian. The men who mine
coal, make munitions, cloth, uniforms,
shoes, ships, run trains and steamers,
or supervise any aspect of business
life are just as much a part Of the war
machinery as the soldier. The scien-
tiflcally demonstrated effects of alco-
hol are not peculiar to the soldier.
Most Of these results, in fact, have
been secured in tests on civilians.

collected a large army. He defeated
the Germans and stopped the western
advance of the Mongolians. He like
wise defeated the Russians and In
creased the territory Of Lithuania con-
siderably.
Mindaugls, the next grand duke,
capable organizer and administrator,
continued the work successfully. Ged-
eminas, a shrewd diplomat, as Is shown
in his correspondence with the popes
of Rome and the TeutonIc order, was
the next grand duke Of note. He es-
tablished the grand duchy Of Lithu-
ania on firm basis, vanquished the
Russians, Teutons, and especially the
Tartars, and SO helped save Europe
from the greatest disaster that could
have befallen it-invasion and occupa-
ton by Mongollans. At this time Lith-
uania extended from the Baltic sea
to the Black sea. After the death of
Gedemlnas, his two sons Algirdas and
Keistutis, reigned, and waged battles
with Teutons and Slavs.
In 1869 sort of dual Polish Lithua-
MAN government was adopted. Even
then. Lithuania kept its independence.
In the three partitions Of Poland the
major part Of Lithuania was annexed
by Russia and the smaller by Germany.
Thus Lithuania was removed from the
map Of the world.
The people were forbidden to use
the Lithuanian language, and the pos
session Of any Lithuanian books, even
prayer books, was considered a polit-
zeal crime, and schools teaching Lith
uanian were closed. The Russian gov
eminent prohibited the use of any type
in print but the Russian. The people
as a result, struggled in books and
newspapers printed in Latin type, from
Germany. Eventually the imperial or
der was revoked and the use of Latin
type re-established. From that time
on Lithuanian literature has f1ourishcd,
many newspapers having been pub
lished and many books printed.
There are probably about 100000
persons of genuine Lithuanian stock.
In addition to these, the Lithuanian
state would include 100000 Poles,
Jews, Russians, and Germans, making
total of 100000 for Lithuanla prop
er. If Lettland should be united with
LIthuania 1t would add 100000 Let's,
making grand total population of H.
100000 for the new nation.
