Army in’ Minnesota feels that the following information will be of great interest to returned foldiers, and wishes to take this op- portunity to urge those ex-service men in the State of Minnesota, who have not already taken «advantage of the War Risk insurance now being offered by the government, to do so before time beats them out of it. The government has made the re- quirements for reistatement of War Risk Insurance very liberal. Any soldier who has'not been out of the service more than eighteen months. can, any time prior to January 1st, 1921, reinstate his insurance without a physical examination. Only the payment of two months’ premium on the amount of the insurance reinstat- ed-is necessary to again place the in- surance in force. It appears that some Of the dis- charged service men must either be merely putting off the reinstatement of 4heir insurance, or else they think they do not need it. Those who pro- crastinate perhaps do mot appreciate the fact that the rates go up each year. Among the others may numb- or some who are sufficiently wéll hegled to disregard a mere matter of ten thousand dollars. “Any ‘one interested in this matter may write to the U. S. Army Recruit- ing statfon, 41-South Third street, Minneapolis, or to the Bureau of War Risk Insurance, 409 Plaza Hotel, Minneapolis, and full information will be gladly furnished them. —— \ SURPRISE MRS, NAUGLE ON BIRTHDAY Fourteen friends of Mr. and Mrs. J.

CHRISTMAS SEAL SALE " BEGINS I MINNESOTA St. Paul, Oct. 9.—Minnesota’s an- nual Christmas Seal sale is on, organ- ization of special-committees to con- duct the 1920 drive for funds with which to continue the fight against tuberculosis and other diseases being under -way. in every county in the state, it was announced today by the Minnesota Public Health Association. The goal of the 1920 Christmas Seal sale in this state is a $250,000 fund, each county concentrating its efforts upon selling at least 10 cents ‘worth of the famous penny health seals or the equivalent in health bonds for every one of its residents. Last year Minnesota invested ap- proximately $150,000 in health thru the purchase of Christmas Seals and Health Bonds, leading all states in the Mississippi valley in per capita sales. This fund, spent Rhiefly thru the county public health ass~ciations. is being used to educate men. woman and children of Minnesota in health needs and for actual preventive werk. “Disease never quits—Neither does Minnesota!¥ is the war-cry of ihe public health crusaders who are de- termined to surpass last yeai's vecord by obtaining the largest per capita sale of Christmas Seals of any state in the union. The inteasive selling drive is from December 1 to 10. 7 More than half of the counties 2i- ready have appointed serl sale diree- tors and are completing their cam- paign organizat;ons.
