HE SLEEPS IN THE JAIL

You know old Tom Hunter, of
course.
Tom does odd jobs around Baudette,
and when winter comes he sleeps IN
the Jail
He was young and strong once, but
he never thought of the rainy day
ahead, So now in his old age he works.
Tom is faithful, harmless old fel-
low, but he has some peculiar ideas.
He has rich relatives down east,
and they want him to live with them
in comfort.
On three different occasions fhe
council has bought him tickets to go
home to spend his declining days.
But like the well known cat Tom
always comes back.
He says they have too much reli
gion on lap down there.
And perhaps he is right.
Every time Tom returns Bill Zauche
gets a letter from one of the relatives
in the east.
And the letters are full of quotations
from the Bible.
And the writer gives you the inn
preston that religion is an awful thing,
and that to smile is one Of the Seven
Deadly Sins.
And that it is impossible to be
good and have good time at tho
same time.
Perhaps if Toms folks, like a lot of
other folks, wouldn't overwork their
religion,
And if they would take it into their
existence as a livable, lovable, work
able of their daily lives,
That old Tom would find happiness
| in living in comfort with his own kin.
Perhaps we are wrong and that we
lmisjudge them.
| But anyway, Tom doesn't like THEN
/ style,
And rather than live with them he
lprefers, Ito do odd jobs around Bau-
dette,

Additional Rulings
on Reinstatement

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 re-instate-
ment Of lapsed or Cancelled Insurance.
The provisions Of Treasury Decision
No. 47, allowing eighteen months from
the date of discharge for re-instate
ment upon payment Of only two
months premiums on the amount Of
insurance to be re-instated, are retain
ed. That decision is liberalized, how
ever, by new provision that men out
of the service are permitted to re-iD-
state by merely paying the two months
premiums without making statement
as to health at any time within three
calendar months following the month
of discharge
After the three months following
the date of discharge have elapsed, q
statement from the applicant to the
effect that he is in as good health as
at the date of discharge or at the ex-
piration Of the grace period, which
ever IS the later, will be required to-
gether with a written application for
re instatement 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, a fair chance to rein
state their insurance, including men
who have been out of the service
eighteen months or more, and who are
therefore barred from Reinstatement
under the former ruling, a special
blanket ruling is made which allows
all ex- service men to re instate then
insurance before December 81, 1919
provided that each applicant is IN az
good healsh, as at date of discharge o.
at expiration of the grace period
which ever is the later date, and sC
states in his application Of course
] It is necessary that he tender the tive
months premiums on the amount o
insurance he wishes to re-instate.
Service men who re-instated thei
], insurance by payment of all bacl
i premiums prior to July 25, 1919, whel
the decision requiring payment Q
only two months premiums went int
effect, upon written application to tn
bureau may have any premiums pal
! in excess of two applied toward tn
payment of future premiums. Fo
! example, if after a policy has lapse
!. for six months, man re-instated an
paid six months premiums instead Q
| two. he MAJ secure credit for fou
months premiums.
The provisions for instatement d
not protect a man until he actuall
re-instates. IF he waits he may not b
in as good health as he was at tn
time of discharge and consequent
may not be able to secure reiinstate

Red Cross Christmas
Seals; Use Of Red
Cross Explained

Confusion seems to exist in the
minds of Chapter officials as to the
of the American Red Cross
and the Red Cross Seal.
The National Anti tuberculosis As
sociation is the organization which an
nually issues these Red Cross Seals
and sells them in order to obtain funds
to fight tuberculosis in this country.
The National Association is organic
ed by states, sometimes under the
name of the Anti tuberculosis Asso-
citation of such and such a. state and
sometimes under another name. For
example: Minnesota Public Health As
sociation is the state branch of the
National ANTI Tuberculosis Associa-
ton.
The name of the Red Cross has been
granted to the National Anti Tuber-
culosis Association by the American
Red Cross for use on its seals. 1t is a
working agreement that has been In
existence for several years. The Red
Cross not only has working agree
ment nationally with this organiza-
tion, but it has by states as well. For
example, In the State of Minnesota,
The Minnesota Public Health Associa-
ton does demonstrating work through
out the various counties which are or
ganized under the State Association,
clinic, propaganda and publicity work
while the Red Cross has agreed to do
the permanent public health nursing
work in the various counties. This
agreement saves overlapping of work.
We are now working on agreements in
the various other states in this Divi-
sion and throughout the United States,
making our agreements conform to
to conditions in each particular state,
Support should be given by our peo.
pie to this activity, the Anti Tuber-
culosis Association, since it is good
work and so far as we know, careful
" administered, and the money deriv-
ed from the sale of these seals is used
in combating one Of our worst enemies,
tuberculosis.
The Red Cross, however, is most
positive in its stand that. it does not
wish Chapters to buy these seals from
funds in their treasures. Where Chap
ter officials and Chapter members may
be of service to the other organiza-
tion, we urge that they help to the
limit of their ime available Again on
the contrary, we strongly urge that
Chapters do not contribute to the 9TH
en- organization with funds from their
treasury.

Damage Suit Against C. & o.

Lost Both Legs I'm.
der Train.

In the damage suit of Charles Gates
vs.. The C. & o Railroad Company, the
Kentucky Court Of Appeals has re-
versed the local court and the case
will be tried out in the Mason Circuit
Court probably at the next regular
term.
This case was taken to the Court
of Appeals through agreement of the
attorney for young Gates and the
court in order to test out the law in
the case. Gates brought suit against
the C. & o. railroad company for $10,-
900 damages. Although the railroad
train had so wounded him that ampu-
tation of both legs became necessary,
he did not sue ON this ground. In the
petition he sets up that he was riding
a freight train as tresspasser when
the accident happened but the rail
road company's agents took charge
of him and removed him on hand
car to Vanceburg where his wounds
were dressed by a physician. He
was kept there practically all day
and brought to Maysville on a train
in the evening and taken to Hayswood
Hospital. 1t developed that gangreen
had set up and amputation became
necessary. Later this dread complica-
tion again set up in the wounded legs
and second amputation became
necessary.
Gates sued the railroad company
for ten thousand dollars not for the
accident which caused the loss of his
legs but for the failure to properly
care for him when they once under
took to do so. and for the development
of gangreen which he states is due to
the railroad company's not properly
caring for him which they undertook
to do.
Lawyers for the railroad company
filed a general demurrer to the peti-
tion charging that there were not
sufficient grounds to maintain a suit
and Judge Newell at first overruled
this demurrer. Then to get the mat
ter of law settled, he re-considered
and sustained the demurrer and the
case went to the Court of Appeals
without the hearing of evidence.
This ruling of the Court of Appeals
is very important one and the first
of the kind ever rendered in Ken.

is tresspasser when he is injured
