The Soldiers Taking Government Insur-
ance.

That the wise and beneficent law pro
viding government insurance for the mill
tary and naval forces of the United
States is fully appreciated by the sol.
diers and sailors of the nation is being
every day evidenced.
At Camp Wadsworth, Spartanburg, s.
c., during the month of November nearly
10000 applications were sent to the bu-
reau of war risk insurance; II per cent
of these was for the maximum amount
of $4,000, % per cent was for $4,000,
and per cent was for lesser sums. In
10 companies every single man applied
for insurance; in five units, three of
them full companies, every man applied
for the maximum of $4,000.
A spirited campaign of education has
been organized and is being conducted to
furnish full and thorough information of
the workings of the law TO those coming
under the provisions, and it is believed
that the great benefits of this wise and
humane provision for the soldiers and
sailors of the United States and their de-
pendents will be availed of by practically
all of our fighting men.

Topics of the

If oil cloth or linoleum on a floor has
become badly worn, turn it wrong side
out and paint, as the vanished side will
not take paint and hold it. Two coats
of what painters call habitat will give it
good body and the grain makes it look
like burlap.
A common flatiron may be made one
of the most helpful things about sew
ing machine or work table. Pad the iron
and cover it with cretonne or any chosen
material Pad also the handle and cover
it. The handle viii be useful as pin
cushion and the padded iron itself may
be used TO pin work to which needs hold
ing. 1t will be found much better than
pinning to ones knee.

MAKING MEATLESS
DAYS PERMANENT

In the meatless menu there is a fer.
tile field for developing new and nour.
fishing dishes, according to E. III. Niles
writing In the Hotel Gazette. who be-
lieves that the present shortage OF
meat and fats will not end with the
coming Of peace, but may grow more
acute and continue for five or six
years, thus making 1t worth while TO
develop menus Of grain, vegetables
and fish on more or less permanent
basis. Meat can be replaced by cereals
and other protein foods, or may be
served in very small portions as fla
voring for other food. In making up
meatless menus this author finds our
American Creole and southern cuisine
q broad field for investigation.
