Automatic Insurance and Death Compensation for Soldiers
Automatic insurance covers men on torpedoed transports with payments to wives, children, or widowed mothers. Automatic policies pay about 24 a month for 240 months, while applied-for insurance can reach 57.50 monthly for 240 months. Government compensation for death ranges from 20 to 76 monthly based on dependents, with separate provisions for widow, children, and widowed mother. Public Health Service campaigns sanitary efforts near army camps, and Smilage book sales show towns outpacing cities in theater coupon sales for soldiers.

Chiropractor Claims Nerve Pressure Causes Most Disease
The chiropractor asserts that ninety percent of disease stems from nerve pressure where nerves exit the spine. Displacement or subluxation of vertebrae narrows openings, so slight shifts can press on nerves. Adjustments realign the spine to relieve pressure, allowing nature to restore normal organ function. The adult spine has twenty six vertebrae in a canal housing the spinal cord.
