1t is almost incredible, yet it is
true, that, because of recent dis
closures affecting the great life-insur-
ance companies, thousands of policy
holders have permitted their policies
to lapse. A sort of panic seems to
have seized upon them, and it has
been far more costly to them than
to the insurance companies. In many
instances new insurance a never be
obtained, and in all cases the policy
holder has sacrificed the advantages
which accumulate with time.
