WAR OUROOK BOOSTS PHI
Extra Cash. Fee Tacksd on to Policies Issued Guardsmen—Other Companies Hake No Change.
Terre Haute representatives of the large life insurance companies said Wednesday morning that few changes had been made in their policies on account of the recent call to arms of the national guardsmen of the country. Some of the companies have made arrangements to continue issuing new policies to members of the guar| with a a additional premium, others are taking the risks with a lien against the policy for a percentage of the face value during the disturbance along the border but most of the old line companies have an occupation clause which provides for this kind of an emergency.
The Life Insurance company of Virginia about ten weeks ago, in anticipation of the president's calling out the troops, announced an extra cash premium of $50 on each $1,000 risk for its policy holders who are engaged either as & soldier or 'a| civilian within one hundred miles of the Mexican border. There is no restriction imposed upon the insured while engaged in military or naval service within the United States outside of the territory onr hundred miles from the border.
Policies Limited.
The Equitable Life Insurance company has made no change in the premiums of its old policies but will limit the amount of new policies for soldiers to |2,6OO and will charge an added premium of 3 per cent on the face value of the policy in event the newly injured men Join the colors and go to the front.
The Mutual Life Insurance company hap a provision in its occupation clause whereby an added premium will be charged the holders during the first ear of the policy if they engage in military work. There are no restrictions placed upon the policy holders. In the event that the added premium is not paid and the holder is killed in service one fifty of the policy is taken by the company.
The Penn Mutual has no restrictions fent refuses to insure enlisted men and limits the insurance of army officers to twenty year endowment policies. It was stated Wednesday that if policy holders should enlist with the colors the policies will still be in force.
None of the agents visited could eay whether they had policies held by members of the local company of the guard as they had not gone over their records with this in view.

The Factory Behind the Food
More than forty different kinds of corn flakes were prepared experimentally before New Post Toasties were finally devoloped to perfection. As a distinguishing feature, note the tiny bubbles, on each flake—raised by the quick, intense heat of a new patented process of manufacture.
New Post Toasties are the first corn flakes with a self-developed flavor— the full, true flavor of choice white Indian corn—unlike common
flakes" that depend largely on cream and sugar for their palatability. Try a handful dry—this simple test will demonstrate the delicious new flavor. But the flakes are usually served with cream or rich milk.
New Post Toasties do not "chaff" or crumble in the package, and they "stand up" when cream or milk is added. They're untouched by human hands and put up in moisture-proof packages to preserve their oven freshness until served.

SECRETARY BAKER. GENERAL A. L. MILLS.
WASHINGTON. June 2J.—When Secretary of War Baker ordered the mobilization of the national guard in every state, he toolc a long step toward settling the dispute as to the efficiency of the organized militia.
Nn one knows better than the division of militia affairs of the war department, whose chief is BrigadierGeneral A. L. Mills, the ailments of the guaycl. There are severe shortages of men and material alike.
Some time will be iecessary to recruit the 22,000 men the national guard lacks to make up even its peace strength of 151,000. It is short by 186,'000 men of its full war strength of 315,000.
If the militia does not get to flght, this mobilization will go a long way towards bringing it up to a better numerical and efficiency standard.

Even Dozen Couples In Chicago Advance Wedding Day When Call to Arms Is Received.
CHICAGO, June 21.—After spending the night on the train to which they marched at midnight in a heavy rain, the First cavalry, Illinois national guard, under command of Col. Milton J. Foreman are on the wmy today to Springfield, where they will go Into camp to await further orders from the war department. This regiment was the first of the Illinois contingent of guardsmen called for service on the Mexican border to start for the mobilization camp, but it will be followed today and tomorrow by other troops until the entire Illinois guard with the exception of the Fifth and Sixth regiments are encamped at the state capital.
In the meantime it was announced recruiting will go forward In an effort to place the other regiments somewhere near war strength.
While Col. Foreman's orders called for mobilization at Springfield only, it is' said the regiment is eaulpped to go straight through to the border if it is found necessary.
As a result of the sudden call to arms an even dozen weddings occurred yesterday among the guardsmen. The weddings had all been set for a later date, but on account of the de'parture of the guardsmen it was decided to have them solemnized at once.
