Insurance Money.

You will be interested in the figures
gathered by a large insurance company
as to the way the insurance money was
spent by widows. 1t is an inexpensive
and instructive way to learn by the ex-
perience of others.
One thousand widows were selected,
and three-quarters of them were traced.
The $50 women SO investigated had re-
ceived at their husbands death over
S9,500,00O In every case had the widow
held on to the money after six years.
Contrary to popular opinion, which
inagines all widows lose their substance
through wild or speculative investment,
only 80 OF the total of 739 had lost their
money in that way.
Eighty widows used the money to pay
off mortgages, which makes us wonder
whether they had anything to live on,
after the mortgages were paid. One
hundred and fifteen used the money to
buy either homes or businesses.
-Four hundred and sixty-six women
invested their money and it is still
yielding income. The total invested
amounts to almost 80 per cent of the
total amount received.
In los cases the money received was

have often tried to make readers
understand how foolish it is for any
layman to go and have his X-ray pic
ture taken, on his own responsibility.
No such picture is worth the price, as
means of diagnosis, unless it is
made at the special request of your
physician and interpreted in relation
with his opinion or the result of his
examination.
Even the expert X-ray technician
who makes such a picture is not COM
petent to offer an opinion as to what
ais the subject of the portrait. When
such a diagnosis is attempted it is
more than likely to lead the victim
seriously aStray.
I believe that is precisely what has
occurred in this instance. Our cor
respondent has been taken in.
A lot of us enjoying excellent health,
If we only knew it, are just as badly
off as this poor gullible reader is.
Every little while some wiseacre sends
in his X-ray film and. asks my opinion
about it. OF course can form no
opinion about such thing. No doc
tor can or will.
My opinion of all such X-ray pic
lures Is that they are an expensive
way of doing harm. Never monkey
with X-rays unless your doctor tells
you it is necessary.

A festival Of Shamrocks is Just the
thing to have for q st. Patrick's day

versary comes tomorrow, it is important
that the preparations require little or
no time to make. Without sacrificing
anything to this necessity, the follow
ing party has been originated for read
orS of this paper.
The hostess provides many sheets of
green paper, crepe paper, wrapping pa
per or tissue. The first is best. She
also has scissors for each person, or
asks each to bring his or her own pair
This viii be important if the company
is large. At a given signal each person
starts to cut shamrocks from folded
paper. At another signal all stop. The
person who has cut the most is given
a prize.
Players form in a line and walk in
a circle, supposedly along garden
path. AS they walk they shower the
leaves toward the center When all
have been scattered, each player is
given a small green container. A bas-
ket made by covering a paper cup with
green paper is just the thing. Add a
green-covered wire handle. The wire
can be a bent hairpin wound with pa

one gathering the most is given a prize.
Supply each person with a good
sized white shamrock cut from still
paper to which green tally pencil
has been attached. Ask each player to
write the one word ''shamrocks" on the
tally card. At a given signal each
player is to find IS words made from
the letters of the word. There are many
more than this number Each player
exceeding this number is given a prize.
The player who finds the fewest of
these secrets is given consolation
prize.
Another prize can be awarded the
player who, in given time, forms the
best sentence, exclamation or phrase
from the words that have been discov-
cred secreted in ''shamrocks." The fol-

women had remarked and used their
money to set up home.
It will be seen from the figures on
this representative group that the wom-
an and her money are not soon parted.
The modern woman Is educated to look
after her money affairs, and she is no
longer the naive creature Of the hoop
skirt era.
The very fact that women have the
sagacity to invest, to pay of interest
bearing debts, to establish business en-
terprises, buy homes, and employ their
money in productive ways Is proof that
insurance money is finding its way less
and less into the hands of INSCRIPTIONS

A Sermon for Today
BY REV. JOHN n. GUM.
Most Imperative Need.

"Wilt thou not revive us again?"-
Psalms, lxxxv.6.
We have never had SO many reform
associations and societies as we have
today. And we never had so many
laws. 1t is said that, during the year
1890. more than 10000 laws were
passed by the legislative bodies of the
Federal Government, the States and
the municipalities of the country. II
reform movements and legislative en-
actments would save nation, America
ought to be paradise.
Yet. with all our multiplied reforms
and civil statutes, evils have increased
and we never had so much moral dis
order and confusion. 1t is evident,
therefore, that our salvation does not
lie in that direction. Our most i'm
perative need is not more laws and
reform, but a revival of religion. What
ever may be said in favor of civil
enactments and reform efforts, these
will be impotent until the vital forces
of religion become more effective In the
lives of our people.
Many years ago an English states
man made a visit to the principally OF
Wales. and he was surprised to find a
town in which there was not a saloon
or a disorderly house. He records the
answer made him when he inquired
of citizen of the place why such con-
ditions existed. The man to whom he
addressed his inquiry answered: "A
man named John Wesley preached here
more than 100 years ago and the town
has been clean ever since" Perhaps
Wesley said nothing about saloons or
diSorderly houses, but he called the
people to repentance and led them to
accept Christ as their Savior and Lord.
Thereby their lives ware renewed and
their morals purified. BY consequence,
their town was purged Of all sorts OF
evils and made clean place.
If we want to make America clean
Nation, We must get back to God and
religion. 1t is a sad fact that while
we have been devoting so much atten-
ton and energy to promoting reforms
and passing laws, religion has been on
the decline. The only thing that will
redeem us and make US a righteous and
laW-abiding people is a spiritual revival
that will renew in our lives the vital
powers of Goodness.
Let the churches concentrate upon
prayer and effort in this direction. It
is not their business to manage the
Government. Let them lead the people
,, back to religion, and our laws and
governmental agencies will be more
effective.
