Provisions of Soldiers' Insurance Law.
The Soldiers' and Sailors' Insur
ance .bill, designed as a substitute
iq the future for the present pen
sion system, favorably reported
to the House of Congress, would
provide allowances for dependent*
of men in the service, compensa
tion for death and disability, op
tional insurance for officers and
enlisted men, and educational and
vocational training for honorably
discharged men. Administration
costs for the first and second years
of the war are estimated at sl7ti,''
000,000 and $380,000,000, respec
tively. ~
The optional insurance section
of the bill, around which, the bit
terest tight will centre, contem
plates the issuance to officers and
men without distinction of policies
ranging from SI,OOO to $5,000 for
the duration of the war only, at
an estimated cost of $8 per SI,OOO
to the policyholder. Insurance
companies are said to have de
clined to assume such war risks
for less than S6B a SI,OOO.
Proposed allotments fordepend
ents of men in the service would
range from $5 a month to SSO, ac
cording to the number of depend
ents and their relationship to the
man in service. A dependent
wife with no children would re
ceive sls a month; witn one child,
$25; two children, $32.60, and for
each additional child, $6. Upon
death resulting from injuries a
wido»v would receive from S3O to
s2otl a month. Similar provision
is made for widowed mothers. A 1
lowance for disabilities incurred
in the service would range from
S4O to S2OO a month.

How the War Started

"No, child," replied the Kaiser.
"Then did Uncle George make

••No."
"Did Uncle Nick make the war,
grandpa"?
"I'll tell you how it started,"
said his grandfather. "A man
namod Teddy Roosevelt came to
see me and I took him to look at
the Krupp works. He examined
everything I showed him care
fully and then crid: "With all
these works and all your prepared

"And," added the Kaiser, sadly,
"I was fool enough to believe

STATE IS SAVED BIG MONEY
ON TYPHOID.
» .
Insurance Company Saved Thousands
of Dollars Annually.
■"
Heat evidence that t.vphold fever
haa been coating the State thous
and* of dollars ever.v year is fur
nished by the Southern Life ana
Trust Company of Greensboro, in
its monthly publication, Tb* Phot
The August issue says: "Up until
last year typhoid fever was cost
ing this company thousands of dol
lars annually; but the constant a;,'i
tation kept up by the Board of
Health, newspapers, county phyii
cians and other means of transmit
ting advi c?"to the people to guard
against typhoid fever, resulted in
this company's not having a death
from typhoid fever in 1816,' and on
ly one this year.'
The State Board of Health points
out that the thousands of dollars
that are saved this company annu
ally are only 6,824 people the num
ber of this company's policy hold
ers in the State, and that if typhaiJ
prevention work has meant this
saving on such a small proportion
it has meant a saving over 300
times as great for the entire State.
The Pilot attributes this great re
duction in typhoid mainly to th' 3
.fact that people are learning that
it is strictly a filth disease ami
must either be eaten with one's
food or drunk with one's drink to
be a case. The disgrace that goes
with the disease is another feature
that is beginning to appeal to the
to the people. More care is now
being given to home sanitation ana
the various means of preventing tae
spread of this dangerous disease.
More interest is also being taken in
anti-typhoid vaccination which
every day is proving its value.
No Secrecy About Preventable Dis
eases—State Board of Health
Will Make Reports of
New State Law.
Raleigh, Sept. 4.—That there shall
be no secrecy as to preventable
diseases that shall occur in the
State from now on, particularly an
to where they occur and in what
number, is the announcement made
to-day by the State Board oi
Health. The purpose is to aid the
Board in its plan to reduce the
number of preventaole diseases in
the State. The information will oe
obtained through the new State law
requiring physicians and house
holders to report cases of commun
nicable diseases to the county quar
antine officer and the latter to the
State Board of Health. This law
went Into effect August Ist. The
first month'r reports show that the
law is already in active operation.
It is the opinion of the Scate
Board of Heallh that the presence
of any contagious, preventable dis
card in a town-or community is a
matter of vital interest to tho pub
lic, that the people have a right
to know where it exists, and that
there Is no reason for suppressing
such information. If anything mus:
be Huppresscd, says the Board let
It be the disease itself and not th
fact that a town has had so many
cases or has had so may deaths.
The Board's plan of informing the
public regarding the presence o,
any contagious disease in the State
will embrace two methods. The
first will be through the monthly
reports of the county quarantine
officer, which records will be puo-
Ushed monthly, and the second will
lie by means of an epidemiological
map on which the number of caseb
of a contagious diseases at any
place will be Indicated by colorea
pins. This map will be kept In
the office of the State Board ol
Health for the information of the
public.
Biggest Better Babies Contest at The
State Fair—New Building For
the Better Babies Now
Enrolling.
Raleigh, Sept. 6,—The biggest Bet
ter Babiea Contest ever held in the
State and probably in the South
will be held here at the State Fair
next month, Oct. 15-20. For this
purpoae a wing or aection of the
new Woman's Building, recently
constructed 1 and uaed thia season
.for the firat time haa been aet
apart and apecially equipped. The
intereat of the babiea haa been well
looked after in the new building,
and their presence with that of
their mothera is counted on as be
ing one of the biggest features at
the Fir thia year.
The babiea are already enroll
ing. Miaa Mae Reynolds of the
State Board of Health, who is sec
retary of the Better Babiea Conteat
ia receiving applications and re
iue»ta for information almost daily
and says that auch interest in the
contest has never been shown this
early in the contest before. The
names of half a dozen fine babiea
ha\ e already been placed on the
liat.
The conteat will be under the
management of the Health Depart
ment of the Woman'* Club of Ral
eigh, with Mrs. W. A. Wither* as
chairman. The same rules and re*-
ulationa aa those governing the
contest laat J ear will be o >»ervel

"Hooverize" But Don't Stop Eating.
Some people seem to think
to "Hooveriee*- or to conserve food
is to cut down on eating and to
•crimp their bill ot fare. The State
Board ot Health lays there, are
more intelligent ways of conserving
food, which if they are abaerved,
will conserve health at the same
they conserve food. The Board
aa.\ s: j
"Chew your food well. Proba
bly the biggest waste of fcaad in
this country grows out of hasty
eating, as half chewed food is only
half digested, and therefore the
other half is wasted. Dr. Horace
Fletcher, it is said, proved that a
man could live on half as much
food if he chewed it well as was
required for him when he gulped
it down. Chew your food thor
oughly to taste and enjoy it.
''iiatall you want but know some
thing of the nourishing value of
whaj you eat, particularly of wh/»t
you buy to eat. An inquiry by tne
Federal Government not long ago
brought out the fact that out of
every SIOO spent by 2,500 families
of moderate incomes thai,
were spent for meat alone. Only
63c wore spent for rfce and less
than 80c for cheese, both of the
latter being excellent suostitutes
for meat. Too much meat eating is
a fault that almost
of the people can correct and
thereby reduce their food bill. More
milk, especially for children, ana
friiits, nut# and vegetables for
grown people should be substituted
for meat. This will not only insure
a smaller grocer's bill to pay but
a smaller doctor's bill. Besides, it
is a patriotic duty."

products, as well as munitions, the
car service commission, of the rail
way war board, has ordered the Im
mediate distribution of the nearly 11,-
000 additional empty cars among the
lines operating In the sooth, the mid
dle west and the southwest.
This makes a total of more than
100,000 empty cars ordered moved in
the last two months from one rail
road to another, regardless of owner
ship, to mobilize In various parts of
ihe country, a sufficient number to
handle the abnormal government and
commercial traffic produced by war
conditions.
More than of the caw
ordered to districts that need them
will he supplied by the Pennsylvania
system.
"To protect the vegetable and
southern watermelon crops," the com
mission announced, "more than 6,000
cars hare been sent to the Atlantic,
Birmingham & Atlantic, the Central
of the Seaboard Air; Line,
the Atlantic Coast Line • and other
roads operating In the Southeast.
"Meanwhile, hundreds of cars are
being rushed dally to the lumber
states of the south to take care of
the tremendous movement of lum
ber to the army cantonments and
shipbuilding yards.
SEVENTEEN KILLED, TWO
BCORE HURT IN WRECK
North Bradford, Conn.—Seventeen
persons wer killed and upwarde of two
score Injured, some probably fatally,
when two trolley cars on the Shore
Line Electric Railway met head on ait
high speed a short distance from the
local station. Both cars were of heavy
construction and the force of the Im
pact locked them together in a mass
of twisted iron and steel and spllnter
ed wood. Both cars were well filled
with passengers.
CURE FOR "DENTIST FRIGHT"
Nervous Fatigue Suffered by Patient
Result of Unnecessary Strain of
Expecting a Hurt.
That curious fear experienced by
many known as "dentist fright" la al
together unnecessary, according to
doctors.
"The fatigue which results from an
hour Or more of this dentist tension
Is too well known to need descrip
tion," says Annie Payson Call, the
well-known teacher of nerve training.
"Most of the nervous fatigue suffered
from the dentist's work is in conse
quence of the unnecessary strain of
expecting a hurt, and not from any
actual pain inflicted. The result ob
tained by insisting upon making your
self a dead weight In the chair, If yon
succeed only partially, will prove
this. It will also be a preliminary
means of getting rid of the dentist
fright—that peculiar dread which la
so well known to most of us."
So well known Indeed to some of
us as to shut out the sunlight for
weeks before the fatal date, the dread
Increasing steadily, till by the time the
chair la reached a state of tension has
been attained that preclude* the possi
bility of letting ourselves "go dead."
But, says a well-known neurologist,
one can drop all this by a little effort,
and say to himself, "I will not cry
till I am hurt." In fact, he cannot
only acquire the ability to become a
dead weight In the chair but'will final
ly give no more thonght to the den
tilt's appointment than to a date at
the golf club.
MORE IMPROVED LIVE STOCK
High Prices Make It Profitable foi
Farmer to Produca Hla Own Anl
mala for Feeding
The recent rapid rise (n the priet
paid for all kinds of live stock la mak
ing It more and more profitable foi
the average farmer to produce hla own
young stock for feeding rather than
to buy the high-priced product of th
plains for thla purpose. Conditions la
America today are more nearly like
those prevailing In European countries
in regard to lire stock than they havt
ever been for an extended period la
the history of our country.
If the present conditions remain at
they are for a few more yean thers
wIH be noticed a rapid improvement
of the farm herds and flocks. Former
ly the range was large enough to crowd
out the competition of the cornbell
meat prodacer. Then the range began"*
to produee only feeders and today the
corn belt farmer la rapidly taking over
this phase of the cattle business as the
range la becoming smaller and smaller
and la more and more unable to supply
(he demand for beef.
Growth of Good Road*.
The Improvement of public roads In
the United States la now very rapid,
and while an enormona amount of
work remains to be done, the highway
system la no longer a reproach to the !
country. I

WAS REAL MARRIAGE MARKET
Petrograd Summer Garden* Were Once
Bcene of Yearly Pairing Off of
All Eligible*.
Business often plays an Important
part In the matrimonial market, espe
cially in some parts of Europe, and an
old-time custom In Petrograd was once
responsible for the yearly pairing off
of all eligible*.
On Whitsunday afternoon the famous
summer gardens were thrown opeh for
the marriage mart Girls and their
mothers, bachelor and their father*—,
the entire population, In fac*—thronged
the gardens for the purpose of finding
suitable partners.
The girl* put on their prettiest
clothes, and wore their prettiest smiles,
and as they promenaded to and fro,
they and their parents kept a wary eye
for a suitable husband. The girl fre
quently held some object of value In
her right hand as ft symbol of what the
aspirant might be led to expect In the
shape of a dowry.
Sometimes It would be silver spoons
or a silver dish, or, In the case of one
of humble means, a homely looking Jar.
When ft favorable impression had
been made, the suitor would address
the girl's companion—probably the
marriage broker or saleswoman whose
business it was to act as medium in
these transactions—and particulars of
his name, address, age and prospects
would follow in due course.
The question of "her" dowry would
then receive consideration, and If the
union was a suitable one from all
points of view, the marriage saleswom
an received a fee for her services.
NATURE nXESJNO AGE LIMIT
Man Who Uvea Carefully Can Retain
Vitality and Endurance Indefi
nitely, It la Claimed.
"Three score years and ten," tradi
tion says, Is the span of a human life.
This must be divided Into thne pe
riods to Include preparation, efficiency
and decay, each period lasting nearly
25 yean. With the athlete, It la still
more severe. Few men at thirty-five.
It Is said, have the reserve vitality and
endurance that they had at twenty
five. Therefore the edict has gone
forth that at thirty-five the athlete
must let up In violent competitive
work and gradually back out of the
front ranks.
But there la no scientific evidence
to show that this Is necessary, says
Popular Science Monthly. The human
body Is simply an assemblage of cells,
which must be kept active, without be
ing overstrained and nourished with
out being overfed, in order that they
may be able to resist- the attacks of
microscopic enemies which cause dis
ease and decay. Under favorable con
ditions these cells will live indefinitely
without showing signs of age of loes
of vitality. Therefore the conclusion
Is reached that the "three score years
and ten" are not fixed by any natural
law, but rather by the conditions un
der which men live and by their per
sonal habits. The athletic champion,
then, who lives under the best hy
gienic conditions and observes the law
of temperance In all things and at all
times, ehould be able to "sit tight" on
his pedestal so long as ha desires.
National Wasts.
Five years of drumming Into the
publie the tremendous wastes ot fire
carelessness has apparently had little
effect It pwbably will take a war
such as the one Into which the country
Is now plunged, with its measures of
national economy, to correct wasteful
ness which has cost millions in money
and countless lives. The extent of this
waste is presented graphically by the
actuarial bureau of the National Board
of Fire Underwriters, which has Just
completed an Investigation of 000,000
Area In the United States. The report
lays 2L4 per cent of the biases to
strictly preventable causes, 87J) per
cent to partially preventable causes
and 40,7 per cent to unknown causes,
largely preventable. It Is another Il
lustration of the notorious fact that
Americu saves at the spigot and
wastes at the bung. Fire prevention
and food economy in these days of na
tional aaving should go hand In hand,
