SOLDIERS SHOULD
RENEW INSURANCE
Policies May Be Continued
At Amy Time Before Dec.
31st By Payment of
2 Months Premiums.

A series of decisions issued by the
Director of the Bureau of War Risk
Insurance with the approval of the
Secretary of the Treasury provides
more liberal conditions for reinstate-
ment OF lapsed or Cancelled insurance.
The provisions of Treasury Decision
No. Al, allowing eighteen months
from the date of discharge for rein
statement upon payment of only two
months premiums on the amount of
insurance to be reinstated, are re-
tanned. That decision is liberalized,
however, by a new provision that
men out of the service are permitted
to reinstate by merely paying the
two months premiums without MAX
ing statement as to health at any
time within three months following
the month of discharge.
After the three months following
the date of discharge have elapsed,
statement from the applicant to
the effect that he is in as good health
as at the date of discharge or at the
expiration of the grace period, which
ever is the later daJe, will be required
together with written application
for reinstatement and the tender of
two months premiums on the
amount of insurance he wishes to re-
instate.
In order to give all former service
men whose insurance has lapsed or
been cancelled, fair chance to rein
state their insurance, including men
who have been out of the service Is
months or more, and who are there
fore barred from reinstatement under
the former ruling, a special blanket
ruling is made which allows all ex-
service men to reinstate their insur-
ance before Dec. 81, 1919, provided
that each applicant is in as good
health as at date of discharge or at
expiration of the grace period, which
ever is the later date, and so states
in his application. Of course it is
necessary that he tender the two
months premiums on the amount of
insurance he wishes to reinstate.
SerEice. E5esa 'ESS4e reinstated their
Insurance by payment of all back
premiums prior to July Is, 1919, when
the decision requiring payment of
only two months premiums went
into effect, upon written appli-
cation to the Bureau may have any
premiums paid in excess of two ap-
piled toward the payment of future
premiums. For example, if after
policy had lapsed for six months,
man reinstated and paid six months
premiums instead of two, he may Sc
cure credit for four months pre-
miums.
The provisions for reinstatement
do not protect man until he actu-
ally reinstates. IT he waits he may
may not be in as good health as he
was at the time of discharge and con-
sequently may not be able to secure
reinstatement.
Don't put off reinstatement. Do it
now!

IFS What We Do That Matters.

1t isn't so much the money we get
as the use we make of it that matters.
Bishop Samuel FallowS, known the
United States over as wise, bril-
liant and patriotic cleric, in his early
youth worked 26 days for $6-and was
paid>in quarters at that. But Bishop
Fallows even then had grasped the
right economical principles and he
made these hard-earned quarters pay
high dividends both financial and
moral. The quarter invested in a
Thrift Stamp, the sixteen Thrift
stamps built into War Savings Stamp
will mean more than face value to the
man who saves.

and wife at the head Of the receiving
line. The new arrivals are at home
{ in social life and were able to make
an excellent impression on all whom
they met. An hour or more was
came program suited for the occas-
ion.
It fell to the office of Mr.. Pierce to
extend the formal welcome to Rev.
Cable and wife, and this he did in his
usual pleasing way, voicing the best
wishes of the church membership and
the community generally. Rev. Carr,
the Presbyterian pastor, and wife and
many of his people were present and
he was called upon to make prayer
suitable for the occasion. On behalf
of himself and wife, Rev. Gable ex-
pressed pleasure on coming to- Deni-
son where he did not feel among
strangers and he thanked those pres
ent for their kindly words Of welcome.
Mr.. and Mrs. Newcom had consented
to sing a duet and this they did in a
way to win them many deserved COM
pliments. Mrs. Roy Thompson, the
late arrival with her husband from
Manila, gave two excellent readings.
Her presence in our city will certain
ly be an addition to the women Of tall
ent who live here. The church has a
we'll equipped kitchen in the basement
and from it there was served dainty
in due time.
1t would appear that Denison has
been most fortunate in securing Rev.
Cable and wife to take the place of
the popular Rev. Boyd and his pleas
ing helpmate. The new arrivals are
no novices in church work, Rev. Gable ,
has been in the ministery for over
twenty years and comes from late ap-
pointment at Winterset and Clarinda,
where he has had most popular pastor
ates. He attended divinity, school at
Denver, Colo, and was under the !
chancerlorship Of now Bishop Nc
Dowell at the Illif school of theology.
He thus had some experience in the'f
west as he took part in great meet
ngs and preached in the towns about
Denver. Mrs. Cable has been we'll
known to many of the ladies of the
church for her prominence in the
endeavors of the great Woman's Home
society," where she ranks
among the national leaders. Rev.
Cable plans an intense evangelistic
this winter and there will
evidently be stirring things done at his
church if plans set forth are carried
out

ones on account of the departure OF
their loved ones, yet we can not re-

was sick only eight days when her

to no avail. The Lord had mission
for her to perform that we know moth
ing about now. But all mysteries will
be revealed to us later. This we know
that God doeth all things well and we
should be willing to submit to the will
of God. We don't understand why a

panion was taken SO soon.
She was the mother of four children,
three little girls and one little boy.

youngest is 10 days old. She was con-

day after she died.
