SOLDIERS NEGLECT TO - TAKE OUT INSURANCE State Defense Council Asked to Urge Action Through Mer’s Families. One million United States soldiers and sailors have thus far failed to take out the soldiers’ and sailors’ in- surance provided for them by the gov- ernment. Because of this condition, the Council of National Defense has asked the Connecticut State . Council of Defense to undertake a ¢ampaign to reach the families of .the soldiers and sailors and through them urge ac- tion by the men. The Council of National Defense is aiding the War Risk Bureau .in the effort to get every man in the army and navy covered. The time for get- ting under the insurance act expires February 12 and soldiers and sailors or their families must act before that time. The government insurance policy is not assignable, and payments un- der it to the insured or a beneficiary are not subject. to claims of creditors of the insured or beneficiary. . The in- sured may at any time change -the beneficiary or benegciaries. The rate of insurance charged by the government is cheap. For premi- ums of $5,000, the monthly rate for a man 21 years old is $3.25; for a man 30 vears old, $3.45; for a man 35 years old, $3.70. The insurance con- tinues in force during.the present year and for five years thereafter, at.the close of which period the policy will He converted, upon application, with- out medical examination into any form of insurance selected. During the time the insurance is in force, the monthly premium to be paid the zovernment increases at each an- niversary of the policy to the premium prescribed for the attained age of the volicy holder. Premiums are to be paid monthly, and will, unless the insured elected otherwise in writing, be deducted from pay due from the government.

S. Food Administrator. “The time has come for sacrifice,” is one’ of the significant statemeats con- tained in.the new supplemental home card for the housewife’s kitchen made public by the Connecticut office of the United States food administration. As the result of the vigorous drive in this state last fall, nearly. 200,000 house- wives and handlers of food signed food pledges and became , members of the United States food administration, whose rules and regulations they promised to obey. insofar as circum- stances would permit. United States I'ood Administrator Herbert Hoover is row issuing to all food pledge signers, and, in fact, to all patriotic citizens, a plain statement showing irrefutably “Why We Must Save Food” and an equally clear and reasonable set of rules - regarding “What You Can Do to Help Win This War.” Perhaps the most striking of the new regulations, which will also be effect- ive for.hotels, clubs, restaurants and lunch, rooms, is the provision for a second wheatless day—Monday—in ad- dition to the present.wheatless Wed- nesday. Two. porkless days are now called for, but as every patriotic home in the state has been emulating the hotals and restaurants for some time in observing a porkless Saturday and inasmuch as Tuesday has for months been meatless, which includes pork products, the two porkless days will not be an innovation for very many. According to Washington estimages, there are 296,636 families in Connecti- cut, and the Hartford headquarters of the food administration gave out re- cently as the number. of food pledges in its files 198,981. This is only about 1,000 less than the 200,000 signers Con- necticut was askeéd to secure ‘as its quota in the hig nation-wide drive but apparently there ave still almost 100,- 000 families in -the state who have not yet signed pledge-cards and become honored and loyal members of the food administration. ready to follow Hoover and prove that “food will win the war.” Robert Scoville, the federal food ad- ministrator for this state, has asked the newspapers to give the widest publicity to the announcement that new members are always welcome and that pledge cards may be obtained at the Hartford office or at the various town headquarters, usually the food member of the war bureaus. Mr. Sco- ville said he could add nothing to the splendid exposition by Mr. Hoover of the pressing necessity of conserving wheat for shipment abroad to our own soldiers and to the starving nations whose men are ranged with ours along the trenches and whose heroic women are striving to till the field. Because we have long since exported our last eurplus wheat and because for several reasons wheat is food commodity most vrgentiy needed, it being as important just now.as American soldiers,” Mr Scoville emphasized the opportunity given everyone, young and old, in this country.: of serving against the kaiser by saving daily a little wheat—like- wise meat, fats and sugar—because now it ig what Americans save that is being shipped abroad and that alone.

Now is the hour of our testing. Let us make it the hour of our vic- tory; victory over ourselves; victory over the enemy of freedom.” The new home card, after directing Americans to trade and to .eat only where they see the well known official emblem of the food ' administration, with the sheafs of wheat encircling the national shield, saye: Our problem is to feed the allies and our own soldiers abroad by send- ing them as much food as we can of the most concentrated nutritive value in the least shipping space. These foods are wheat, beef, pork, butter and sugar. Our solution is to eat less of these and as littl® of all foods as will 'sup- port health and strength. All saving counts for -victory. The food administration asks every loyal American to ‘help win the war by maintaining rigidly, as a minimum of eaving, the following: program: Have two wheatless days (Montlay and Wednesday) in every week, and one wheatless meal in every day. ‘Explanation: On-wheatless days and in wheatless meals of other days use no- crackers, pastry, macaroni, break- fast food or other cereal food contain- ing wheat. Have one meatless day (Tuesday) 'in every week and one- meatless ‘meal in every day. Have two porkless days (Tuesday = and Saturday) in every week. ' Explanation: - Meatless. means with- out any cattle, hog or sheep: products. On other days use mutton and:lamb in preference to beef or ‘pork. Porkless means without pork, bacon, ham, lard or pork products, fresh or preserved. use fish, . poultry-and eggs. Make every day a fat saving day (butter, lard, lard substitutes, etc.). Explanation: Fry less; bake, broil, boil or stew foods instead. Waste no soap; ‘it is made from fat. Make every day a sugar saving day. ‘Explanation: Usz less sugar. Less sweet drinks and candy containing su- gar shouid be used in war time. Use fruits, vegetables and potatoes abundantly. Explanation: These foods are health- ful and partly take the place of other foods which we must save. Raise all you can for home use. Use milk' wisely. Explanation: Use all of the milk: use sour’ and skim milk in cooking and for cottaze cheese. Hoarding food. Anyone buying and holding a larger supply of food now than in peace time, except foods can- ned, dried or preserved.in the home, is helping to defeat the food adminis- tration in its attempt to secure a just distribution of food and the establish- ment of fair prices. Hoarding food in households is both selfish and un- necessary; ‘the government is protect- ing the food supply of its people. Eat sufficient food to h;aa]th; the nation needs strong peo- ple. Co-operate with your local and fed- eral food administrators. Take their advice. Preach and practice the gospel of the clean plate. ¥ Homnsekeepers should help the stores to_cut down deliveries. maintain ; Use local supplies; this saves rail- road. transportation. Report to the nearest food administration officer the name ahd address of any person dis- couraging the production or saving of food. . On the reverse side of the card is Mr. Hoover's message, which is as fol- lows: To the Members oi the United States Food Administration: The men of the allied nations are fighting; they are not on the farms. Even the men of the European neu- tral countries are under arms. Hence the production of food by these coun- tries has steadily lessened ever since the beginning of the war, with the steady increase of difficulties in bring- ing food from. the far-away markets of India, Australia and the Argentine. The situation has become critical. There is simply‘not enough food in Europe, yet the soldlers of the allies must be maintained in full strength and our own army in France must never lack a needed ounce of food. North America must furnish the food. And we must furnish it from our savings because we have already sent our normal surplus. ‘We do_not need to starve our own people. We have plenty for ourselves and it is the firm- policy of the food administration to retain for our peo- ple, by its control of exports, a suffi- cient” supply of every essential food- stuff. 'We want nobody in our coun- try to eat less than is necessary for good ‘health and full strength, Kfor America needs the full productive power -of all its people. Much of the needed -saving can-be effected by sub- stituting one kind of food for another. But the time has come to put aside all gelfishness and ' disloyalty. The time has come for sacrifice. The allies ask us to meet only their absolutely imperative needs. They are controlling their food by drastic gov- ernment regulation. There is even actual. privation among' their women and children; there is starvation in Belgium. The allies need wheat and meat and fatg and sugar. They must have more of all of these than we have been sending, more than we shall be able to send unless we restrict our own consumption. The whole great program of winning the war rests primarily on one thing— the loyalty and sacrifice of the Ameri- he Plaut-Cadden Co. TERMS . MAKES BETTER PCSSIBLE FOR ALL Conn. can people ‘in the matter of food. It is not a government responsibility; it is the responsibility of each individual. Each pound of food saved Ly each American citizen is a pound given to the support of our army, the allies and the friendly neutrals. Each pound ' wasted or eaten unnecessarily is a pound withheld from them. WILD RIDE ON BROOKLYN RAPID TRANSIT SUBWAY. Forty Passengers Were Tossed About and Badly Frightened. > New York, Jan. Forty passen- gers in a Brooklyn Rapid Transit sub- way car took a wild three mile ride without stop today when the mech- anism gf the motor failed to work, After leaving the Brooklyn tower of the Manhattan bridge the electric pow- er could not be shut off, dlthough the motorman tried desperately to stop the car. It continued the journey. at hair raising speed until a policeman jammed down the hand brakes just before reaching the 36th street sta- tion, slowing up the car sufficiently to avert a serious accident when it collided with an empty train. The passengers were tossed about and badly frightened, but none was seri- ously hurt. FRANCE HAS PLENTIFUL SUPPLY OF COFFEE Enough for More Than a Year—To Paris, Jan. 27.—Victor Boret, ‘the French fooq minister, today informed the public that as the supply of coffee on hand was sufficient for. France’s needs for more than a year the coffep exchange at Havre would be closed and coffee importations would be dis- continued. This step was taken, he said, in order to release tonnage for the transportation of American troops and- material and of wheat. The min- ister warned the people against ex- cessive buying and hoarding. ° Fourteeh Austrian merchant ships of a total tonnage of 40,000, lying-in Russian ports hav/ been released by the Boishevists, Don’t You Want Good Teeth Does the dread of the dental chalr cause you to négiect seed have no fears. crowned er extracted them?
