operative or assessment Life Insurance is
as permanent as any other. So says the
Hon Elizur Wright, ex-Insurance Com
missioner of Massachusetts, and the cost
is not more than one third of the cost of

adopted by and belonging exclusively to
the Kaw Life Association has materially
reduced the cost per $1,000 Insurance,
besides placing man and wife. or each
person named in policy, on the same
basis. The following statement speaks
for itself, and shows the average yearly
cost per 81 900 Insurance up to April LIST.
