WAR RISK INSURANCE

Several months ago Secretary Glass
issued a decision which permitted men
to take up their insurance again with
in a period of eighteen months on pay
ment of premiums for the last month
of the original insurance period and
for the first month of the new period
in which it was desired to be rein
stated. 1t was required under that de-
cision that all men so reinstated
would be required to undergo a new
physical examination This was found
to be impractical from the viewpoint
of the men and discouraging them.
Under a broadening of that decision,
just issued, the Secretary has decreed
that men who desire to renew their
insurance, and whose health has re-
NAMED the same or practically the
same as it was on discharge can re-
new their insurance by simply for
warding statement as to their
health. For men who wish to renew
three months FROM their discharge
from service no statement will be re-
quired
The chief benefit the Insurance Bu
reau will have obtained for the would
ed men when the pending legislation
finally passes through Congress will
be the raising Of the disability com
pensation figures. Under the new
provisions now in the bill total dis
ability will draw compensation at
the rate of $50 month instead Of the
$50 it now draws. A totally disabled
man with a wife will get $50 month
instead of $45 as now provided. With
a wife and one child he will draw $95
a month instead of the $55 as now pro-
vided. Also the Bureau has argued
for the enlargement of the totally
helpless class, so that if the new bill
passed as it stands not only will men
with both hands, feet or eyes gone be
classed as totally helpless and re-
ceive the $100 monthly compensation,
but also men who have suffered the
loss of any two limbs, or of one eye
in addition to one limb will be brought
within this class and will secure the
compensation.
Every effort is being made by the
Bureau to reach the soldier who really
needs or wants his insurance oppor-
tunities, but is too uncertain to go
through the cannels of renewing his
policy. Much propaganda has gone
over the country with the apparent
political purpose of belittling the
Bureau, with the result that the in
terests of the soldiers have been
because these attacks
have tended to discourage the soldier
from pursuing his own advantages.

WHAT is A FARM?

Seems foolish question to ask,
doesn't it? Almost anyone can tell
off-hand just what farm is and
knows one when he sees it.
But do you happen to know the in
depreciation Uncle Sam places on the
word farm" for census purposes? :?
No? Then read how his Bureau of the
Census defines the word:
ga farm for census purposes is all
the land which is directly farmed by
one person conducting agricultural
operations, either by his own labor or
with the assistance of members of his
household or hired employees"
In further explanation of this defin-
ition the Census Bureau points out
that the term agricultural opera
tons is used as general term refer
ring to the work of growing crops,
producing other agricultural products
and raising domestic animals, poultry
or bees.
that farm may consist of a single
tract of land or of number of separ-
ate and distinct tracts. And these
several tracts may be held under diff
ferent tenures as, for instance, when
one tract is owned by the farmer and
another is rented by him. Thus if
yho +e,
ditional ten acres from some one else
and operates both the 100 acres and
the ten acres, then his farm" includes
both tracts of land comprising 11O
acres.
By the same token when land
owner has one or more tenants, rent
ers, croppers or managers, each diff
ferent tract of land operated by any
tenant, renter, cropper or manager is
considered separate and distinct
farm by the Census Bureau. Or, to
give an example, if man owning 120
acres of land rents 40 acres to a
tenant and farms the remaining 80
\ CASl 60 l1lo lCtl LII 10 Cl1O on all CO
which he operates, not the 120 acres
which he owns, while the 40 acre tract
which he rents to a tenant comprises
a separate farm to be reported in the
the name Of the tenant.
Another question to be determined
is how important does an agricultural
| enterprise have to be in order to Sc
| cure recognition in the census as a
| farm? A small vegetable garden or a
chicken yard accommodating a few
busy hens will not be allowed to
qualify as farm in the census no
matter with what pardonahle pride
and satisfaction the proprietor may
view his agricultural enterprise.
But if the garden or chicken yard
| expands until it covers not less than
three acres of ground, or until it re-
quires for its care the continuous SER
vices of at least one person, or yields
bproducts annually to the value of $3.50
Tor more, it comes within the census

Don't Spoil Your Hair
By Washing 1t

When you wash your hair, be care
full what you use. Most soaps and
prepared shampoos contain to much
alkali, which is very injurious, as it
dries the scalp and makes the hair
brittle.
The best thing to use is Mulsified
cocoanut oil shampoo, for this is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap and beats anything else all
to pieces. You can get this at any
drug store, and a few ounces will last
the whole family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about a teaspoonful is
all that is required. 1t makes an
abundance of rich creamy lather,
cleanses thoroughly. and rinses out
easily. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and is soft, fresh looking,
bright, fluffy, wavy and easy to han
die. Besides, it loosens and takes
out every particle of dust, dirt and
dandruff.-Adv.

and mental degeneracy. All or several
of these so-called symptoms of ten
manifest themselves in the same fam
lily group.
while we are particularly equipped
to deal with poverty, we are also call
ed upon to deal with the general prob
lem of family reconstruction and OF
family conservation, whether the par
ticular family to which we minister is
suffering from poverty or from some
other form of social Ill.
1.-The Social Service bureau is not a
bureau to give aims. 1t sees that re-
lief is given when necessary of course,
but except in emergency cases, re-
lief is furnished from township funds.
The principal part of the funds raised
by the bureau, as you will note from
the treasurer's report, is used for ad-
ministrative purposes.
For this fact we have no apology to
offer. There Is a deep seated cause
back Of every case of poverty, and the
only way to obtain any lasting i'm
provement is to discover that cause
and remove it. Gifts of food and
money never will accomplish this. 1t
, can be brought about only by patient,
intelligent effort by someone trained
for that work.
This is no easy task nor is it one
that can safely be entrusted to unskill-
ed hands. That the cost Of this ex-
pert service represents merely the
expense of distributing groceries to
| the poor is self-evident fallacy. The
giving out of food and cash is a
simple process that could almost be
| performed by some automatic ma
chine.
Patient, SklfuI Study.

day evening in the Commercial club
rooms.

The influenza epidemic brought some
families to us for the first time.
During the height of this trouble
the poor seemed to suffer most and in
many cases, whole families, sometimes
the majority of whom were self-sup

by this trouble. We co-operated with
Red Cross in the matter of securing
nurses for the afflicted families.
Family Life UpbuiIt.
I'm the minds Of many, the idea ex
lists that the bureau is an organization
whose purpose is the relief of those
in need. 1t is that, of course, but it is
much more. 1t is in reality an organ
izetion for the upbuilding of family
life, particularly where families have
been assailed by the forces that bring
about social and economic maladjust
ment.
Poverty with its various symptoms
is in itself a symptom Of social dis
ease which lies deeper There are
other symptoms Of the same social
disease; for example, crime, delin
