SOLDIER INSURANCE EXPIRES
WITH TERMINATION OF WAR
Plan on Foot to Keep it Up So That
Soldiers win Not Lose What
They Have Paid

This insurance is to take the place
of the pension allowed soldiers Of the
civil war. Rate will be made very
low under a twenty year maturity OPP

Preparations by the government for
reinsuring the lives of soldiers and
sailors on their return have been has
tened by the signing Of the armistice.
Although regulations have not been
fully drafted, it is certain that each
of the 4,250,000 in the military or ma
val service now holding voluntary gov
eminent insurance will be permitted
within five years after peace is de
clared to convert it without further
physical examination into ordinary
life, twenty year pay life, endowment
maturing at age of 60, or other pre-
scribed forms of insurance.
This insurance will be arranged by
the government, not by private COM
panies, and the cost is expected to be
at least one-fourth less than similar
FERNS offered by private agencies.
Private companies would not write
insurance on many of the wounded
men.
The government will arrange to col
loct premiums monthly, if men wish to
pay this way, or for longer periods
in advance. This may be done thru
postoffices The minimum amount of
insurance to be issued probably will
be $1,000 and the maximum $4,000,
with any amount between those sums
in multiples of $500. There will be
provisions for payments in case of
disability as we'll as death, according
to the tentative plan. The insurance

ing.
Prayers of gratitude for the Host
ess House are murmured every night
in many towns by women who are of
no particular importance to any one
except to some man in the army
and to God.
The commandants of the camps are
as appreciative of the hostess houses
as is the most forlorn woman. No
house is erected except at the direct
request of the commanding officer.
Fifty-four houses are now In use,
others are being built as fast as lum-
Der and carpenters can be secured.
Each house has its individuality.
The plans for the building at Camp
Gordon, Atlanta, Georgia, were re-
drawn by Miss Fay Kellogg in order
to save three magnificent oak trees.
A fine old Southern mansion secured
for the Young Women's Christian AS
ISOLATION headquarters at Petersburg,
Virginia, is as popular with the sol.
diers from Camp Lee as is the official
hostess house.
The hostess houses serve the entire
nation.
The work with girls IS one OF the
most important functions of the War
Work Council. 1t deals with all kinds

conditions OF country in a state Of
war preparation. Their patriotism

falls. Their very enthusiasm leads

Fight Poultry Disease With Cleanli-
ness

Chickens turkeys, ducks, geese and
pigeons are susceptible to many dis
eases, some of which are highly infec
tious. Disease germs pass rapidly
from bird to bird of the flock, and
may be carried by one means or an
other to neighboring flocks, producing
extensive outbreaks, or epizootics.
Sanitary and other measures which
have been found successful in the
control of poultry diseases may ma
terially reduce the great annual losses
in flocks if they are properly applied.
