IN the same way as that in which they
receive the premiums, more than is paid
to the Company by the person who takes

How does the company afford to
do this, you ask? By having the use
of the premium money during the 70,

There are many ways of providing

but selection is not difficult if one care

will be very glad to give any assistance
that can in arriving at a conclusion
l believe that in a majority of cases
one OF the very best ways is by an
Annuity or Installment Endowment
Policy on the life of the husband for
as much as he can afford in favor of each
OF his loved ones and himself As
every one knows, an Annuity means
a periodical payment of money amount
ing to fixed sum each year, when the
payment is for ten or twenty years, or
any given time, it is called a certain an
nuity," and this is what is meant bv
an Installment Policy.
As an illustration we will say that
John Jones takes out a $4,000 policy
requiring an annual premium of S4oS. 90
for twenty years, should he live for that
period At the end of twenty wears
the Company begins the payment of the
annuity or Installments, of $50, which
continue for twenty years to him or the
beneficiary, making in that way SIS, eco
whereas he would have paid in but
So, 900. How could one invest such
sum to better advantage or in safer
manner?
If man desires to provide for his
own old age, is not this the wisest way
to do so? The investment is absolutely
safe. If the person should die before the
expiration of the 20 years, the bene-
/ ficiary or benefCiaries named in the
policy would receive the same amount
and in the same way as the person taking
out the policy would have received the
amount for which he was insured. We
have any number of instances where
such Life Insurance policies were taken
out by men for their parents so that
when the parents should grow old and
infirnE they would have an income of their
own that could not be taken away from
them, as Life Insurance for ones family
cannot be touched by creditors or in
any way diverted from the original pur-
pose for which it was secured.
An Installment Policy may be written
so that premiums are payable for only
ten or fifteen years, or if only a small
premium can be spared, the cost may
be reduced by having the payments
! begin only at death of the insured
a man may not feel able to take out
a policy for SO large a sum as $4,000,
All he has to do is to tell the agent or
write to the Metropolitan Life Insurance

he can pay and conditions will be adjusted
so that he will know exactly how much
he may expect as an annuity at the

that time. The record of every case is

No one now living can imagine who

the surgeons declare that the operation

There never having been any salts

which were naturally in order, it has
been the custom from time immemorial
to bestow upon it the profoundest respect
