adays that can't got some company to
take chances on it. One of those life
insurance agents visited these parts last
week. and among the questions he asked
OF his patrons to test their eligibility
wore the following: "Have you ever had
the grippe? If so, what did you do it
for?" care your nerves sufficiently strong
to stand raise of ten in a jack -pot2"
"Are you married; and If so what is your
excuse for such abominable conduct?"
do you attend tho club dances at Page?
If SO we refuse to take chances on YOU"
"Will you love me when Tn old?" "Do
you smokc 'Qld Virginia chcroots? If
you do perhaps had hotter vstire, and
give the coroner and your spiritual ad-
visor chance" IF you should find it
necessary to mortgage your life insur-
ance policy, and you were unable to meet
tho obligation when it became due, would
you have sufficient honesty about you to
die through principle and in courtesy to
your creditors?
