STILL CHANCE TO INSURE

The Minnesota soldiers who
have failed to take out the Gov
eminent War Risk insurance still
have an opportunity to do so. /.
Congress has extended the
period for filing applications until
April 18th. Word of this extern
sion has been officially received by
the Commission of Public Safety,
which urges relatives and friends
of Minnesota soldiers to renew
their efforts to get all the men
to take out the insurance.
The automatic insurance has
ceased entirely. No man is now
INSURED by the Government, un-
less he has applied for insurance.
Thus application by the men, who
alone can apply for the insurance,
becomes doubly important.
The soldiers should take out
the full amount, $4,000, as pro-
lection for their families. They
can continue this insurance after
the war at low rates. Family in
fluence must be brought to bear
on the men, the Commission of
Public Safety advises.

Value of a Smile.

Smile and the world smiles with
you. 1t does not cost you anything
to be human, to show by your man.
ner that you regard your fellow
worker or your employee as fellow
being. A friendly greeting, no mat
ter how hurried, is a tonic. Take the
trifling moment of time for that greet
ing. Make the trifiing amount Of efs
fort. Remember that the Joy or the
unhappiness of life is made up OF
trifles, just as the continents are made
of grains of sand and drops of wa
ter. "You can catch a derned more
sight of flies with sugar than with
vinegar" runs the homely old New
England saying.-Evchange.

Where Tin Is Found.

Tin is found in ores with many other
metals and minerals and in Jumps and
grains in alluvial gravels. 1t is found
in Siberia. Australia. Guiana and. IN
fact, most parts of the world. but the
notable workings, those which furnish
the great part of the supply which The
world consumes. are in Bolivia and the
Straits Settlements. A large amount
of tin is consumed in the manufacture
of tinfoil, tons of which are used an.
nually in the tobacco trade, and anoth-
er extensive use for tin is, in silver
ing the backs of mirrors. In being
used in this way it is mixed with cop
per. Tin is also used in the making
of bronze, brass and pewter.
