as useful members of society. Thls responsibility was ignored altogether in the .old plan. The man who does not want his survivors to be entirely dependent upon the government can take out a large amount of voluntary insurance. Thus many of the objection to the old pen

sion system are removed.

Another Word on Soldiers Insurance We Americans are not accustomed to the military. We are entering upon a new phase of national life and experience. Hence, many of the situations that are presented by the mobilization of the men of military ago do not receive their full consideration. We do not appreciate their importance because we are ignorant of their meaning. Let us apply this observation to the necessity of soldiers' insurance. :

Few of us can fully understand its necessity. , Why ? Because none of our boys have been maimed or killed by the enemy. None of our boys have come home isable and incapaciated. We do not realize the good of insurance because so far we have not had occasion to see its necessity.

But that should not deter us from writing our sons, brothers and relatives in the regular army and in the training camps to take up this matter at once. Our ignorance will not excuse our negligence. The Indianapolis News, editorially says the following about some points of the plan: A probable effect of th government's war insurance plan that has not received wide publicity is that it will eliminate the graft and abuses of pork barrel pensions. Every man now going out to fight knows how nfuch his dependents will receive in case he is killed, knows what he will receive if disabled, and knows what his dependents will receive during his absence. . If he thinks that the amount the government is to pay' dependents in case of his death is not enough he can increase the amount by paying for voluntary insurance, at a minimum premium, to the sum of $10,000. There is little opportunity for introduction of the abuses which brought into bad odor the old pension system. On July 6, this year, one senator introduced forty bills intended to grant pensions or increases. On April 3,

1917. 1,241 such bills were introduced. This was during the press of war business in an extraordinary session. With the enormous numbers involved in the present conflict, and the more generous governmental attitude, the effect of the perpetuation of such a system in distributing war benefits would be appalling. A Boldiers or sailor of the present war will draw his allowance, or his dependents Will, wilhout the intervention of any congressmen. Before the war is long over it ought to be easily possible to take account of the killed and the disabled, to arrange for making the payments designated by law, and then to close the matter for all time. In the new system there Is no element of charity or gratuity, as sometimes seemed evident in the old plain. The men receive an agreed amount as a plain matter of justice for services rendered and injuries sustained. If they are disabled the governmnt will help to make them self-supporting, so that they can again take their places

Giving Till It Hurts One of the commendable features of the Liberty Loan campaign was the spontaneous re sponse of subscribers to the appeal of the govern ment. . . "

Solicitors were not compelled to argue long

about the necessity of supporting the govern

ment with finances. No, the people bought will

ingly and gladly, in some instances, far in ex

cess of what the solicitors expected.

We have not been called on to give until it

hurts. Our subscriptions have come out of our surplus. We have not sacrificed. We are still rich enough to subscribe for more Liberty Loans without impairing our finances. Including the seventh loan, the people of Germany, to cite an example, have raised $18,134,-? 000,000 for war purposes. The record of Geiv man war loans is submitted. First loan, Sept. 19, 1914 $1,120,200,000 Second loan, March 19, 1915. 2,276,575,000

Third loan, Sept. 22, 1915 . . ; Fourth loan, March 22, 1916 Fifth loan, Oct. 5, 1916. . . . . Sixth loan April 18, 1917. . .

Seventh loan, Oct. 19, 1917... 3,107,500,000

Seemingly the Imperial government is obtaining the sinews of war, but is losing in man pow

er, if the statements of captured German officers regarding the morale of their troops can be accepted for their jface value. America's man and money power are intact. The good spirit shown by our boys when they followed the flag to the military training camps and the response of the people to the second Liberty Loan prove that the United States will be the deciding factor in financing and winning the war. The more money we give and the quicker our boys are trained for service in the trenches, the quicker will the war end to the satisfaction of ourselves and our allies.

Didn't Like Kitchen Duty

From the Boston Journal.

AMP D EVANS, Mass. From the kitchen window of

his barracks John T. Arbour watched his mates of the Twenty-fifth Company, depot brigade, going

through the Invigorating drill which is transforming them into soldiers. With growing wistfulness in . his eyes he has paused each day from his task of chopping wood in the barracks yard to gaze at the rest of the company as it went out of sight down the road on a hike.' - He came with the Brookfield-Deerfield contingent, September 19. He registered himself as a conscientious

objector. His scruples were given all consideration. He was asked to enter into none of the military drill which is training the men here to kill. The other day he approached Capt. E. F. Welscopf, commander of ,the Seventh Battalion, of which his company is a part. "I want to be a soldier," he said, after saluting in the most respectful military fashion. "I'm sick of washing dishes and scrubbing floors and pushing a shovel. I want to get into this military game." Arbour is now doing his "bit" on the drill grounds.

PRICE OF FOOD NO INDICATION 0FlTS VALUE Government Tells Housewives How Much Eatables to Serve.

(BY RAMSEY POUNDSTONE) Mrs. Blank is a Richmond woman

class which may be called "meats and meat "substitutes;" that is moderately fat meats, poultry, fish, eggs, cheese, dried legumes (beans, peas, lentils, cowpeas and peanuts). Milk also belongs among these foods, but because of the large amount of water it contains half a glass of it would be required to equal an ounce of any one of the others. A man who works hard out of doors all day probably would need more food

than this, and one who sits all day at j his desk probably would require less, j Food For Family. j A family consisting of a man and .; wife, both of whom do moderately j fcard muscular work, and three chil-. dren say, between three and twelvo j years of age would get all the food 1

choice depending on the age of the children: Three quarts of milk and one pound of other foods taken from the meat and the meat substitute group. Two quarts of milk -and 1 1-2 pounds of other foods taken from the meat and the meat substitute group. Uncle Sam informs us that the most important of all foods are fruits and vegetablese.

"Don't rock the boat," was the American slogan handed out by the German commander of the submarine squadron. "Don't rock the boat torpedo it."

When my kid grows up and says : "Dad, why didn't you go and fight for

your country in 1917?" I will take him firmly by the ear and lead him over to the family safe, and I will open 'the safe and take out a few Libery bonds, and I will say: "Because I was too old to fight, but I did the next best thing and bought these, and now they are yours." The hottest fighting of the day occurred about Poelcapelle. A large brewery is located there. N. Y. Sun. Well, no wonder. TRY THIS ON THE I. W. W. IMPERIAL WILHELM'S WORKERS. For the first time it occurs to a good many "constant theatergoers" of our acquaintance that the war is be

coming serious. The new war tax of ten cents on each theater pass is to blame. There arc a lot of pereennial passhounds who don't believe that any show is worth ten cents. "What do they mean by this panGerman stuff?" asked our thoughtful elevator man. "Aren't we panning the Germans all the time now?" . HIGH COST O' LIVING November 1 the government socks on the new war tax. If the young Romeo expects to marry the gal he would better do it this month for the cost of courting is going up. The new

tax hits every phase of courtship except the kisses. They will remain at the same price, he government did not tax them, believing, probably, that they are already expensive enough. Here's the bad news, Lothario : Three-cent stamps on love letters. Ten cents extra for theater tickets. Additional price for phone calls over the fifteeen-cent rate. Increase in taxi-rate. War tax on cigars for her father. Ten per cent increase on engagement rings. Special war stamp on marriage licenses.. Tax on honeymoon tickets.

Th RAcnnd lieutenant wheeled and

said:

"You. there, halt! Don't you know

enoush to salute an officer?"

The rookie gazed at him dumbly at a loss for a satisfactory explanation. "Now, you stand there and salute me fifty times." ordered the lieutenant. The rookie obeyed. A major, coming up, stopped to watch the performance to its completion. At its end he said: "What's this?" The lieutenant explained. "Don't you know that an officer must return the salute of a private?" inquired the- major. "Return the fifty." The second lieutenant did. Urchin Did you see a little boy about my own size round the corner? Old Gentleman Yes, I believe I did. "Did he look angry?" "I didn't notice?" "Didn't he look frightened?" "I don't know. Why?"

and the housekeeper of a family which j they require, according to government

besides herself, consists of her hus

band and an adult son, both being mechanics. These two men work fairly hard each day and require substantial nourishment, three good meals a day. -; "As a housekeeper my big problem is whether I am providing the food my husband and son need, and whether I am getting the best possible returns from the money J. spend for my table," says Mrs. Blank. Unfortunately the price one pays for food is no test of the nourishment it yields to the body. Tomatoes Aren't Heavy. For instance, tomatoes at 5 and 10 cents apiece in the winter, do not build body tissues nor furnish fuel for the body engine. Hunger and its satisfaction cannot always be relied upon.

A heavy meal of potatoes and bananas would gorge any person, but it would not meet body requirements. , What Mrs. Blank wants to know is what her husband and her son need in their food and bow these needs can be filled by ordinary food materials. Uncle Sam .has . been interested in the same problem as Mrs. Blank has been wrestling with. His scientists in the Department of Agriculture have formulated the following table of daily food requirements ' for the man who docs fairly hard muscular work: One and one-fourth pounds of bread, having about the same food value as one pound of such cereal preparations as wheat or rye flour, oatmeal, rice and cornmeal. Two Ounces of Fat Two ounces, or one-fourth cup,' of butter, oil, meat drippings, or other fats. Two ounces of sugar; or onethird cup of honey, or sirup, or an equivalent amount of other sweets.

Three-quarter cup of fat (butter or butter with oil, beef drippings or other fats) a weekly allowance of 2 1-2 to 3 pounds. A little more than . one cup of sugar, or a weekly allowance of 4 pounds; or an equivalent amount of some other sweet. Four pounds in all of fresh fruit, or fresh and root vegetables.

If you must talk about a per-' son, talk to that person. Give a man a chance to right the wrongs that others have thoughtlessly done him.

It is poor economy to save money by. substituting something inferior but wouldn't you like to save on cost if you could get something better? You can get a better roof for less money if you put on Ceiriafai-leed Roofing Before its m erits were recognized, roll roofing was regarded as a more or less temporary roof but now CERTAIN -TEED has demonstrated that it is not only a most du rable roof, but also the most efficient roof. It is economical to buy, inexpensive to lay and costs practically nothing to maintain. It is light weight, clean, sanitary, fire-retardant and weather-tight. It is now used as the preferable type of roof for office buildings, factories, hotels, stores, warehouses, garages, farm buildings etc., where durability is demanded. CERTAIN-TEED is guaranteed for 5, 10 or 15 years, according to thickness (1, 2 or 3 ply). There are many roll roofings on the market, but only one CERTAIN-TEED. It pays to get the best. It costs no more to lay a CERTAIN-TEED roof than it does to, lay a poor roof, but there is a vast difference in the wear. You can't tell the quality of a roofing by looks or feel. Your only safety is the label. Be sure that it is CERTAIN-TEED then you are certain of quality and guaranteed satisfaction. Certain-teed Slate-Surfaced Asphalt Shingles are supplanting wood and ilate shingles for residences. They cost less, are just as good looking, wear better, won't fall off, buckle or split. They are fire-xetardant, and do not have to be painted or stained. Certain-teed Paints and Varnishes

are the best quality paint materials, ground and mixed with mechanical accuracy. Made for all uses and in all colors. With paint, as with roofing, the name CERTAIN-TEED is a guarantee of quality and satisfaction.

DESTROYS SLEEP

Many Richmond People Testify to This. You can't sleep at night. With aches and pains of a bad hack. When you have to get up from urinary troubles. If the kidneys are at fault. Set them worklnff rieht with Doan's

j Kidney Pills.

Here is Richmond proof of their merit. J. H. Morris, 29 N. Third St., Rich-

t mond, says: "At times my back has

I been weak and lame and has ached ( steadily. When I am this way I can ! hardly do any bending or lifting. The ! trouble makes me restless at night.

Then the kidney secretions are too frequent, in passage and highly colored. I also have headaches and dizzy spells. I have lost as much as two weeks, from work at a time. Whenever I have been suffering this way I have procurtd a box of Doan's Kidney Pills at Quigley's Drug Store and they have never failed to help me. I

! might say that I haven't lost a day's

work in a 16ng time. Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney Pills the same that Mr. Morris had. Foster-Milburn Co., Props.,Bufalo, N. Y. Adv.
