The Treasury Department authoriz-
the following:
A radical change in the method of
handling allotments and family al-
lowances which will speed up the de-
livery of Government checks to the
dependents of soldiers and sailors
weni into effect July 1, Secretary Me-
Adoo announces.
Several important amendments of
war-risk Insurance act, just approved
by the President, make possible the
change in procedure.
After July i, every enlisted man In
the military or naval service, regard-
less of rank or pay, must take the
same compulsory allotment to his
wife and children—$15 a month. To
ihts allotment the Government will
add a monthly allowance ranging
t'rcm $5 a month for a motherless child
and $15 for a wife without children
up to a maximum of $50. In addition
'.lie enlisted n^an, if he desires Govern-
ment allowances for his dependent
parents, grandparents. brothers and
sisters, may siake voluntary allot-
ments to then-fixed by the new
amendments a $5 a month where al-
lotment is mad> to a wife and children
and $15 where no such allotment is
made. Heretofore allotments were on
a sliding scale jind varied accordingly
to the soldier’ll pay or the number
and personnel of his family.
The new system, which was put in-
to effect with the approval of the
War ami Navy Bep&>intents, will simp
lify the administration of allotments
and allowances both by the Bureau of
War-Risk Insurance and in the field.
Henceforth the Bureau of War-Risk In.
surance will handle allotments of only
two amounts—$16 or $20.
The amounts of family allowances
paid by the Government to supplement
these allotments are not changed by
the amended law. Beginning with
July pay the Bureau of War-RiBk In-
surance will handle allotments only
to support family allowances, and then
only in the amounts required by law
to support such allowance. The ex-
cess allotments and allotments to
persons not entitled to allowances will
be handled by the War Department,
Navy Department, Marine Corps, or
Coast Guard. This change in adminis-
trative procedure will considerably in-
crease the bureau’s efficiency in hand-
ling its allotment and allowance prob-
lem.
Home Service sections should study
the above carefully as the transfer of
work from the War Risk Insurance
Bureau to other Government Depart-
ments will bring a delay in receipt
of checks by beneficiaries until the
system gets adjusted.

Packers’ Profits
—Large or Small
Packers' profits look big—
When the Federal Trade Commission
reports that four of them earned
$140,000,000 during the three war years.
Packers' profits look small—
When it is explained that this profit was
earned on total sales of over four and a
half billion dollars—ox only about three
cents on each dollar of sales.
This is the relation between profits andsales:
Profits I
If no packer profits had been earned,
you could have bought your meat at only
a fraction of a cent per pound cheaper!
Packers' profits on meats and animal
products have been limited by the Food
Administration since November 1, 1917.
