Why the National Mutual Life is
Cheapest and Best.

Il The found alton principal of life in
surance company like that underlying
any other class of business determines
it's failure or success. The plan OF the
National" is the Oldest and therefore
safest known to life underwriting. 1t
avoids excessive and burdensome
charges for unnecessary reserve and
expenses of the SO called "old line"
systems as we'll as the absolute lack
of nect sary reserve of fraternal Or
ders and 'safter death assessment So
cieties. It is the difference between
cash system and a credit system. The
reserve provided by the National" is
sufficient as the history OF like lnssl-
buttons for hundreds of years proves.
But the main difference in its plan is
in it's restricted expense element. by
it's charter four dollars or less per
thousand at risk is all that can be
charged or used for expenses. While
under sold line" systems there are no
restrictions aud four times this amount
and upwards is used for expenses
alone. This added to a reserve pro-
vided for generations yet unborn
makes the cost too great by far for the
average man, and provides luxury
for the millionaire only.

certain British operations in South Africa by citing
alleged American Army regulations. The cabled
reports are obscure as 10 the precise nature OF
the operations under consideration but If II is true
that MI Balfour read an extract from the United
States Army regulations showing the severity
with which persons alternating as combatants and
non-combatants were treated under the American
organization" he must have been imposed upon by
having spurious regulations placed in his hands
