has contended with various kinds of
difficulties but nevertheless they have
overcome them and are getting along
nicely. They are soon to put in side
walk for O'Neil & Richardson. If
more of the business men of Glenwood

Combination Health and Life
Policy Not Reliable

The combination life and health
policy is delusion and snare. The
argument is made by the soliciting
agent that, while he is liable to fall
i'll, and being unable then to earn
anything, will be unable to pay. If
he has health insurance, however, he
will now receive weekly indemnity
on account Of illness sufficient to ena
BILE him to meet his life premiums
The company, however, necessarily
reserves the right to cancel the health
provision at any time. When the in
sured is found to be on the decline
run down likely to fall i'll soon,
the company promptly cancels the
health part of the contract. The fea-
ture which induces him to take the
policy in the first instance is elimi-
mated as soon as there begins to be a
prospect of its being needed. The
right to cancel is essential but the
insured seldom knows of its existence
until it is enforced-Life Insurance
Independent.
