WASHINGTON, March Z. - More
than $4,000, 000. 900 worth of insurance
has been written on the lives OF Amer
lean soldiers, sailors and nurses by the
war risk insurance bureau. Secretary
McAdoo announced today. Up to the
close Of business March 9Th, 1,392.324

s11.258.448.600 had already been re-
ceived at the bureau and late reports
from the American forces In France
together with insurance now In transit
from distant points indicate that the
total written to date is well above
twelve billion dollars. covering more
than 100000 persons in the military
or naval service. In February alone
more than $4,000, 900. 0o0 was written.
The average amount of insurance
applied for is $8,0S5. The maximum
permitted is $4,000, and the minimum
$1,000.
Final figures show that the United
States army, both here and abroad. is
we'll above ninety percent insured
In many camps SO percent of the
personnel is protected by government

The secretary said that In the five
months from October 9Th, when the
military and naval insurance act was
approved, the life underwriting sec

to be the largest life insurance com

in the coldframe.
The frame may be made Of boards,
brick or concrete. II built OF brick or
concrete the hotbed walls and ends ex-
tend from the bottom Of the two-foot
pit to the glass sash.
The front wall Is from to II inches
above the ground and the back wall 4
to inches higher. The low wall
should face the south so that the
plants will get the full benefit Of the
heat Of the sun.
The ordinary frame is made of
boards inches high in front and II
inches at the back. The ends are
made to slope from the top of the back
to the top of the front. A frame of
this kind is easily moved from place to
place.
Since the size of glass sash is by 6
feet, the frames are made 6 feet in
width and some multiple Of 3 in length,
depending upon the number of sash to
be used. Sometimes cloth instead of
cash is used for the top.
Use Of Manure.
To make hotbed, enough fresh
horse manure, without too much straw,
must be obtained to fill the pit or to
make pile upon which the frame is
to be set. The manure is left in a
pile until it gets hot and steaming. 1t
is then forked over, throwing the
outside into the center Of the new pile.
After about a week ii will be hot again

pile. In a few days it will be hot again
and should be placed in the pit in lay
ers inches deep, each one being
tramped down firmly before the next
is added. When the pit is full, spread
6 inches Of rich garden soil over the
manure and put on the sash to protect
1T from rain or snow.
To make a surface hotbed spread
the heated manure on the ground in a
6-inch layer, about 8 or feet wider
and longer than the frame. Tramp
this down until the pile is about 2 feet
thick. Then set on the frame and
bank up with manure against the sides
and ends. Put 6-inch layer of rich
soil over the manure inside the frame
and set on the sash.
After few days the bed will become
very hot, but will soon begin to cool
off. When the temperature goes down
to So F. the garden seeds should be
planted and the bed watered. Great
care is necessary to give the bed prop
er ventilation and yet not chill the
plants. The plans must be watered
regularly to keep them growing vigor'
ously.

STOP A MOMENT!
LISTEN TO THIS
Cincinnati man tells how to
lift off any corn without
hurting one bit

You reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns and who have
at least once a week invited an awful
death from lockjaw or blood poison are
now told by a Cincinnati authority to
use a drug called freezone. which the
moment few drops are applied to any
corn. the soreness is relieved and soon
the entire corn. root and all, lifts out
with the fingers.
1t is a sticky substance which dries
the moment it is applied and is said
to simply shrivel the corn without in
flaming or even irritating the sur
rounding tissue or skin. 1t is claimed
that quarter of an ounce of freezone
will cost very little at any of the drug
stores, but is sufficient to rid ones
feet of every hard or soft corn or cal
LUIS.
You are further warned that cutting
at corn is suicidal habit.-Adv.

IT APPLIES TO ALL BUYING.


The same principle of buying is
applied to Rice, Beans, Rolled Oats,
Canned Corn, Canned Beans, Can
ned Tomatoes, Canned Fruits, and
everything in the entire line. A
thorough test is made of the sam
pie. and then it is in turn tested
against the shipment.
There is no chance whatsoever of
shipper sending goods to the
Kroger Company that is any diff
ferent than the quality sold. They
know that rejection is sure to fol-
low, and you have but to ask any
grower, miller or packers repre-
sentatives and they will tell you
that the most particular buyer in
Cincinnati, or in any part of the
United States, is the Kroger buyer.
The ordinary procedure OF a
grocer in making purchase is to

the quality of the goods. give the

goods, pass it out to his custom

HOW THE MOST PARTICULAR
FOOD BUYER IN CINCINNATI
is HELPING YOU

Mr.. B. H. Kroger's expert judgment
of quality was the foundation, and
the success of the Kroger Company
and the quality reputation increasing
with each additional store is based
on the standards set by Mr.. Kroger.
Today the tremendous volume of the
Kroger business necessitates a corps
of buyers trained to the standards OF
Mr. Kroger and they are the most
particular food buyers in Cincinnati
today. Mr.. James Fogarty of the
Kroger Grocery and Baking Company,
seated at his coffee testing tables, is
making blind test" of fifty different
kinds of coffee, comparing the drink
ing quality of each.

unless the agent knows that that
quality is going to be the best and
satisfying.
That is why the Kroger quality
has never been questioned by any.
one who was familiar with the
Kroger buying method.
The Kroger buyer is the first one
they go to whenever they have
real value.
They find him always ready to
take the entire quantity and for
that reason Kroger stores offer
many advantages that are never
offered in any other stores.
THE RESULT-54o STORES
Price would be no inducement
if the article purchased did not
satisfy, and the satisfaction caused
the return of the customer in that
first Kroger store, and is the
reason for the second and undoubt-
eddy quality alone is the cause of
the present five hundred and forty
stores. Make a comparison of kro-
ger quality at any time, we vel
come it. and every purchase made
only backs up our argument that
the Kroger quality is the best to
be had for the money anywhere
in the United States.

AN INTERESTING TEST

The test is a very interesting one.
A sample cup of each lot of coffee is
made. The bottom of the cups are
numbered and the test is made with
out the buyer knowing one cup OF
coffee from the other. To secure the
best coffee is the set intention. First,
by the aroma, the different coftees
are compared. and in this test us
ually about thirty per cent are elm
mated. Then every coffee is tasted
and the drinking qualities are com,
pared One by one they are discard
ed until only Ave remain.
ONLY THE BEST SELECTED
He then makes a fresh drawing,
and, if necessary, third or fourth
test, selecting at length the best cof-
fee in the entire lot. When this has
been done, and he has satisfied him.
self that he has secured the best, he
refers to his list, and through the
numbers on the bottom Of the cups,
checks up the shipper, the quality
and the price. The expert knowledge
of Mr.. Kroger, through his long ex.
perience, enables him to know the
quality that suits the majority OF
peoples tastes and this has been the
business.
SAMPLE COMPARED with SAMPLE
The coffee selected usually repre-
sents lot Of one thousand bags, an
average of two or three carloads. On
the arrival of the shipment, samples
are again taken and compared with
the original. If it is the same quality.
1t is taken in roasted and then sent
direct to the stores, but if 1t does not
come up to the sample it is rejected
without further consideration.
Mr.. Fogartys entire time is spent
testing and buying. Now, do you
know any grocer that uses this meth
cd, other than the kroger stores? No.
they haven't time for it, But, you can
readily see the importance and the ad-
vantage of this method Of buying,
and every pound of coffee ever sold
in the kroger stores has been passed
on in this manner.
