There is nothing which more clear
ly indicates the intelligence. business
foresight and prosperity of people
than proper appreciation of and jul
dicious investment in Insurance. par
ticularly Life Insurance. That which
man produces-cities, buildings and
works Of art-may, and frequently, does
last for ages, but the allotted time of
man is fixed. He must die and few
here be who reach the limi5 Of cxpec-
tation. 1t has been computed that
the death rate of the globe is 6S per
minute, 7,79O per day, or 35, III, 100
per year. What Il vast army this is
and made up yearl y of new recruits.
What man amongst us dare say that
his name is not already enrolled with
those who will make up this army
next year, next month, next week, or
even to-day. There is but one chance
in his favor with 35, III, $50 against
him. What is the condition of your
estate Is your mother, wife and
those dear ones you were instrumental
in bringing into existence provided
for? Is your estate sufficient for their
maintenance, religious training and
education so that they will be worthy
men and women? If your estate is
small, if these provisions have not
been made, Life Insurance puts them
at once within the reach of evc"y man
and at such a small yearly cost that
not to have them amounts to positive
neglect. Whether one should take
Life Insurance is no longer question
in this age of enlightenment. The
questions to be considered are: is the
company on a solid financial basis?
Does it put up security in the hands
of the law to guarantee the fulfill
ment of every contract? Is che con-
tract plain and simple and divested Of
estimates which are attractive, but
too often misleading? Is the policy
on-forfeitable and incontcstible?

requisites. This is one Of the Oldest
