 The contrary view has been just as spiritedly supported by MT. War ren and others who took part in the dispute. It is expected the present proceedings will continue at least a week.

After your insurance policy has been
in force for a year your company viii
inform you that a dividend has accrued
on the policy. This may amount to
Az or almost per cent of the total
amount of the policy.
1t might be well to consider now how
to handle this dividend. 1t is the prac-
tice of many straight life policies to de-
duct the amount of the dividend from
their yearly premium, and so tighten the
burden of carrying their insurance.
Those who make semi-annual or quar-
terly payments, may deduct 1t from the
next payment due.
There are several other things which
one may do with her dividends. They
may be allowed to accumulate In order
to convert an ordinary life policy into
paid-up one. This may be done in 20
to 25 years. It will depend on ones
age when she FIRST took out the policy.
If this means Of using the dividend
does not appeal to you, you may prefer
to use them to change your straight life
into an endowment policy. This will
require a longer period of time than the
other change 1t will probably require
from % to 33 years to accomplish that.
Far-sighted folks employ their divi-
dends in another way. They use them
to buy additional paid-up insurance
each year. AS time goes on the diy1-
dends naturally increase in proportion
to the capital invested. This enables
one to increase her insurance materially.

Stand Up.


We ought to pay more attention TO
the way children stand and sit. Many
Of them walk so that their bodies are
Heads stretched out as though they
wanted to see round the corner Of the
world; heads tucked down between
shoulders; heads hanging like detected
goslings.
Their chests sink, their backs are
followed and limp, their knees wobble.
They walk with no directnesS, sham,
bling along as though they had no
place to go and were going there here:
hips are not In line.
When they sit down they slump.
Legs drag on the floor, chests sag lower
and lower, shoulders hump and the
shoulder blades are as ungainly as the
launches Of starved burro. What
Is the matter?
Some Of 1t may be due to malnutri-
ton, some of 1t to fatigue, some Of it
to poor habits. A great deal Of it can
be corrected If parents and teachers
and physicians work together and aid
hold himself together, then to form the
habits that retain good posture.
II a child falls into poor posture
habitually he ought to have thor
ough physical examination. Any de-
fects found must be remedied. 1t Is
useless to attempt to correct the pos
ture of an ailtng child. Health Is the
first step toward correct carriage.
Bodily well being calls for expression
In the carriage, the walk, the attitudes
Of the body. Get health, and good
posture follows easily enough. You
have something to build the good habits
Of posture on, and you have some
chance Of success.
But II the child is undernourished,
tired, sick, his posture Immediately
announces the fact. Take bad poStNPe
as a symptom of bodily unfitness and
work toward correcting that nrst, and
the posture will come.
Meantime there are little easy ways
of helping the child to stand up and
carry himself as though he were proud
to be alive and proud Of being himself
Praise him and her. Give them word
of appreciation as they start out In the
morning. Nothing helps child lift
his head, and so lift his whole being,
as a word Of appreciation.
Dress them as attractively as you
can. Attend to the heels on their shoes
and the rims OF their collars. Have
them clean 1rom the skin out. Teeth
polished, nails shining, hair cleaning,
are indications Of self-appreciation and
that always helps posture.
Setting-up drill, two minutes, helps,
not because OF the physical exercise so
much as the conscious attention to the
body. Standing with the heels against
the wall, shoulders touching the wall,
helps. This only for a minute &C.
