INSURANCE FOR WOMEN.
They Are Obliged to Pay Higher Rate on
Their Policies Than Men.

The question of insur.ng the lives OF wo-

lege aud advantage granted To men IN the
present progressive age should likewise DO

4 Well-known insurance agent said the
other day:
1--WE insure women, but we have not
made 1t the feature that II could be made.
We have not sought for women as we have
the men, and on account of the physical
risks which beset woman We tax her s. adj
ditional for each 600 of insurance.
There is prospectiyely O large business
ahead for this line of insurance, and If
women agents would work IL up 1t would
not be long until women would meet on an
equality with men N the insurance busl-
ness. We do not limit our women who in
sure 10 the bread-winners. but We can
show by our books many women Of wealth.
Neither do We limit age. We have girls OF
fifteen and we have elderly ladies. We
have three young Nassar students who are
insured for $4,000 each, and two married
women / can recall insured for $780,

insurance is retained IN some cases,
because it is not generally accepted

tary value. And vet the woman who Is
partner in her husbands business, the
widow who supports her family, the
daughter who keeps the wolf from the
door, certainly has a monetary value and
it ought TO be recognized. To remedy the
evil / would recommend goOd-tralned w0-
men agents to handle this department. 1t

women toilers Of the city, and ought to
pay well.
