By some perverseness of Fate, .there is, in most people, a quirk' "which makes it impossible for them to see their own fuults or their own j)ossibilitirs, This same quirk is present in most communities. Consequently, the Red Cross, in the working out of its peace-time program, is constantly discovering towns, villages and even cities which shrug their shoulders, metaphorically, and say, "What is the use? The war is over." They stoutly maintain that there is no sickness to speak of, though the records show that the death rate is far greater than it should be.

' if thirty dtntminethnt. fin&.cd, but when a Ho- e Sen-ice Secretary goes into the community she finds hundreds upon hundreds of American soldiers who do not know and who have never been told what privileges and compensations their government is offering them to pay, in a measure, for the sacrifices they made. Is your community one of those in which the soldiers are pitifully sur prised when someone shows an inter est in them? Have you given your soldiers the chance to say, "Oh, folks don't care what happens to mo. They've stop ped waving the flag." They argue that a Public Health nurse is a "fad;" that children! teeth are Nature's products and therefore should need nothing more than Na ture's care. They manifest utmost contempt for the present-day de mand for thoro medicul school inspec tion; snee.r nt the menace of tubercu losis, maintaining that a germ, which cannot be seen, cannot be dangerous, and Uiut organized social welfare work is a bugaboo. And the "they" referred to is often an obstinate leader who sits back, placidly, with hands folded, remark ing with smug complaisance, "We have managed prcjty well so ft,r with out these new-fangled things, I reck on we can go on without them." The world is marching forward, and persons in authority or with pres tige must be willing to march for ward, too, if Progress is to be kept alive. Are you a stumbling block in the upward march of your community? Is some perverse, petty idea to which you have clung for years keep ing your town from advancing? The time has come for every man and every woman to decide whether he or she is going to be modern and help make the world a decent, health ful and happy place to live in, or be medieval and permit disease and mis ery to reign unhampered because in dividuals are too indifferent to fight. Service Men Ara Urged lo Reinstate Insurance The attention of all persons Inter ested in the welfare of ex-service men and their dependents is again called to the fact that men may, up to July 1st, 1920, reinstate their lapsed or cancelled insurance regard less of the time they were discharged by simply sending to the Bureau two month'y payments accompanied by the reinstatement application, stating that they arc in as good health as at the date of their discharge or expira tion of the grace period, what over is the later date. Such men should be referred to the Secretary of the Home Service Section who has on hand a full sup ply of reinstatement blanks and full information as to how to assist men with their reinstatements. The War Risk Insurance Iiuread is making strenuous efforts to have all men who have allowed their Insurance to lapse, to reinstato it. For this reason the privilege has been extend ed to July 1st, 1920. All men should be urged to attend to this matter as promptly as possible for the reason that they are not covered by Insur ance protection while the policy is lapsed, and for the further reason that their health might at any time become such that they could not con scicntiously sign the reinstatement requirements as to health.
