that reinstatements of lapsed war

the provisions of exceedingly import
ant and liberal ruling made by the
treasury department extending the
reinstatement privileges after separ-
alton of the insured from the active
military or naval service. The follow
ing summary indicates how reinstate-
ment may be made and when physl-
cal examinations are required:

premiums since discharge: (a) If not
discharged more than three months
the policy may be reinstated by sim
ply sending in past due premiums,
provided the insured is still living.
No application or reinstatement or
proof of good health is required.
(b) If discharged more than three
months or less than nine months in
sured must be in as good health as
at date of discharge, and so state in
his application for reinstatement
when sending in premiums past due.
No medical examination is required.
(c) If insured was discharged be-
fore January /, 1919, the insurance
may be reinstated at any time be-
fore September 80, 1919, on the
same condition as in paragraph in
above; namely insured must be IN as
good health as at date of discharge
and so state in his application for

tion is required.

last premium due after he was dis
charged, but has failed to pay some
of the later ones:

hind in premium payments and IN

policy lapsed and so states in his
application, he may reinstate without
medical examination by sending m
premiums past due.
(b) If more than three months be-
hind and less than nine months, IN

FEDERAL OFFICERS
 SEIZE FOODSTUFFS

Deputies from United States Marshal Skeggs' office yesterday took charge of 50 tons of foodstuffs found in the Cen tral of Georgia yards on the ground that it had been shipped contrary to the pure food laws.
 The shipment was made by the H. Wehman company of Minneapolis, Minn, and consigned to the Southwest Broker age company.
 The shipment consisted of 1000 sacks marked pure wheat middlngs," but the federal officials say it looks more like mixture or brand and ground straw
 Members of the Southwest Brokerage company stated that they had no knowl- edge of any fraud perpetrated or attempt ed upon the government, and that they had purchased the articles for what they purported to be.
 The Kehman company is understood to be a, distributing agency for a mum Der of mills in the northwest and it is said claim to have been ignorant of the substitution of the inferior goods. The property will be held by the fed eral marshal until Judge Grubb con- yenes the district court here about March l. when the matter will be placed before him.
