Attention Ex-Service Men.

Have you allowed your War Risk
Insurance to lapse? If so, we want
to remind you that the month of De-
ccmber is the last month in which
you will be able to reinstate this in
surance without medical examina-
ton. This insurance is ono of the
greatest benefits any Government
ever conferred upon it's service men,
and the rules under which reinstate-
ment may be obtained are the most
liberal ever offered. Insurance is
protection to you and your loved ones
against the three great enemies of
your earning capacity-disability,
old age and death. The Government
offers to ex-service men a policy that
is:
1. Payable in a. lump sum, If de-
sired.
2. Exempt from taxation.
8. Exempt from creditors.
4. Incontestable from the day 1t is
taken out.
s. You can borrow "a per cent of
the cash value of your policy after
the first year.
g.. A liberal total disability clause
in every policy without additional
cost.
Z. 25 to 80 per cent cheaper than
old line insurance.
AS stated, this Is the last month
in which you will be able to reinstate
your lapsed Government Insurance
without medical examination, and
the amount necessary for reinstate-
ment is only two monthly premiums,
if you have not been out of the serv-
ice more than eighteen months.
We have on hard a full supply of
reinstatement applications, and Il
you will call at this Office we will be
very glad to give you any informa-
ton you may desire about this in
surance, and to assist you in filling
out the reinstatement form.

PREVENT BREAD SPOILAGE
BY CARE OF RECEPTACLES

While cooling, newly baked bread
should be lightly covered with clean
cloth or paper to prevent mold germs
and dust from falling upon it, but
should not be tightly wrapped in a
thick cloth, as is the practice in some
households, for unless it is aired,
when taken from an oven, 1t is likely
to become "soggy" and damp, and
thus offer an excellent medium for
cultivation of molds, say food special
lists of the United States Department
of Agriculture When cold the bread
should be placed in a close receptacle
that has been thoroughly sea lded and
aired If bread is to be kept for more
than two or three days in damp, hot
weather, the jar or box should be
taken out and summed for a short time
now and then. and again scalded and
dried On no account should portions
of former baking be stored with a
new batch.
Cake and cookies should be cooled
after baking and kept in tin boxes OF
in earthenware jars, which. like bread
boxes, should be scalded and aired
often. Even of these foods are to bt
eaten at the next meal, it is well tc
keep them in some such receptacle
as it insures protection from dust. 4
cake pudding, or pie that has been lef
to cool unprotected from dust or fiie'
is something that no careful house
wife would think how easily the foot
may be contaminated.
