Despite the general belief among
physicians that women live longer than
men, many OF the leading life insurance
companies. decline to accept the g%entler
sex as risks. But why should that

iers to devote it TO insuring her happi-
ness during her lifetime.
The dishonest walking delegate has
about run his race. For years he has
preyed on the credu lily of members OF
labor unions and has pocketed their
hard earnings without giving any re-
compense. AND many a time he has
feathered his:nest by selling out the
very people who supply him with bread
and butter. But the laboring people

The British government is meeting
with considerable ~antagonism from the
Beers in South Africa, and unless there
Is a change ~ipaugurated in their atti-

either kindness or justice, but has been
