BE sure the Child sleeps with the

Of meal. Finish each meal with a
piece Of fresh fruit or crisp salad or,
IL these are not obtainable, a stale
crust OF bread, with butter II pre-

BELIEVE IN LIFE INSURANCE
About Forty Million Americans Now
Hold Policies, According to
the Latest Figures.

Approximately 40,000,000 indi-
viduals are now life insurance policy
holders, according to four separate
statistical surveys made recently by
the Association of Life Insurance
Presidents. In three of the four
inquiries the results deal with 80
per cent of the life insurance BUSH
ness in, the United States, while in
the other case, that of death claims,
IS per cent of the total business is
represented.
According to the reports, the peo-
pie of the United States had in 1921
the healthiest year of their exist
ence; they bought $8,5OO,OOO,OO0 Of
new life insurance, an amount sec
ond in volume only to that pur-
chased in 1920; the proportion of
the accumulated borrowings on their
life insurance policies is well below
the high level reached in 1914, and
the assets held as reserves to mature
policies are making a substantial
growth, contributing further to ma
tiOnal development.

Plant Trees.

There is no question about the need,
the value, the absolute necessity Of
planting trees In America. Any small
argument against 1t is overcome by big
arguments by people who know the
tree subject.
There is but one question left-how
many trees will you plant? You don't
have to do the actual work. Pay your
money to the American Legion. The
boy scouts Of the country have Of
fered to take orders from the legion
and plant trees, and giving money is
the least Of the task.
If there is anything you want to
know that you haven't been told about
trees, you are welcome to write the
American Forestry association at
Washington, and you will be sure Of a
courteous reply, and quick one.
