GOVERNMENT INSURANCE
FOR EX.SERVICE MEN

When the United States entered
the World War, Congress provided
a system of government insurance
for the protection of the soldiers
and their families, assuming risks
too gigantic for any private insur-
ance enterprise to undertake.
Government insurance is now
being continued on permanent
peace-time basis for the benefit of
all the ex-service men, but it is es-
pecially valuable for those who were
discharged so impaired in body or
mind that they could not pass the
examinations required by the COM
mercial insurance companies.
The U. S. Veterans Bureau, c..
D. Hubbard, District Manager, Min
neapolis, Minnesota, is charged with
the responsibility of administering
the laws governing this insurance
and he is anxious to have all ex-ser-
vice men avail themselves of the
insurance benefits which the govern
ment has provided for them.
The law provides that any per-
son who was in the service may
carry government insurance now
equal to the amount he carried in
the service. If he allowed his insur-
ance to lapse he can re-instate it
simply by paying two premiums if
he is in as good health as when il
lapsed, otherwise he will have to pay
all back premiums with interest al
$50.
All War Term Insurance can be
converted into standard policies, al
any time, and must be converted be.
fore March 8, 1926. All ex-service
men are urged to keep their insur.
ance in force because government
insurance is the best and cheapest
they can carry.
Write the Veterans Bureau anc
arrange to re-instate or convert
your government insurance. That
is the only safe and wise thing tt
do.

SEEK TO IMPROVE
Guyana ORE VALUES.

Scientists at the Mines Expert
ment Station, University of Mime
sofa, are at work on new and as
yet secret method for improving the
commercial value of iron ores, found
on the Guyana range.
In addition to some high grade
ore found in the Guyana district
there are large deposits of low grade
ore there, according to E. w. Davis,
superintendent, some of which is
decreased in commercial value by
the presence of too much water and
some by the presence of too large
a percentage of silica.
Ores containing too much water
are now treated in two practical
methods, the first of which is bak
ing to drive off surplus water, anc
the second is washing process
Neither of these is perfectly salts
factory because the baking reduces
much ore to fine dust, which mus
be thrown away, and washing pro
cesses wash away a good deal o
ore which would otherwise be valu
able.
The interesting fact that wash
ing an ore can reduce its water con
tent is true because so much of tn
Guyana ore is embedded in clay
the latter having high water cor
tent. When the clay is washe
away from the ore, the ,remainin
ores though very wet, actually cor
tain less water than they did befor
the clay had been separated, Nj
Davis explains.
The third process, on which e.
periments are going forward nov
will not be considered commercial
practicable until a company hs
actually put it into operation an
proved it's worth, experiment static
officials say. An effort to brin
about its adoption will be made
trials show it sufficiently good
warrant the expenditure.

FIRE MARSHAL WRITES OF GER.
TAIN FIRE EXTINCUISHERS

During the past few weeks there
has been thrown upon the Twin
City Market several types of Fire
Extinguishers commonly known as
the Dry Powder Extinguisher. This
Dry Powder Fire Extinguisher is
being sold in several forms of
pasteboard containers and is retail
ing at $1.75 per tube to $3.50 per
tube for the larger package which
weighs about two pounds.
The powder consists of sodium
bicarbonate, otherwise commonly
known to the housewife as saleratus
or baking soda. The soda" con.
tains trace of coal tar colorine
matter. The weight Of the powder
contained in the package was not
stated, but it was estimated, after
allowing for sample taken for an
alysis, that the manufacturer intend
ed to supply two pounds for the
price of $3.50. The actual cost OF
two pounds of this compound, al
present price quotations, is approx
mately ten cents. From the an
alysis and figures contained herein
one can readily see what an enor
nous price is being paid for ar
article commonly used in the house
hold daily routine and sold to the
public as a most excellent fire ex
tinguisher.
The Fire Marshal Department
recognizes the fact that sodium bi
carbonate properly used may act a.
a good agent in extinguishing small
fires, especially those known as sur
face" or "open" fires. That is
where a curtain or floor may bt
on fire, or where oil may overflow
on the floor and become ignited
