LIFE INSURANCE

All well informed persons concede the
value of life insurance.
The men who know most about fnan-
cial matters, the most successful business
men, are almost invariably we'll insured
The poorer people, who need it most,
neglect it most.
Perhaps the greatest harm that will
come from the present investigations OF
the New York legislative committee in
to the methods of the great life insurance
companies is the loss of confidence in
the principles of life insurance, general
ly. But, though that legislative commit
tee has already found, and is likely to
find, many abuses and much, extrava-
gance in the management of some of the
insurance corporations, this has no more
to do with the general principles and the
general value of life insurance, than be-
cause occasionally bank cashier de-
faults or bank goes bankrupt that
therefore the principles of banking are
wrong. The proof of wrong doinr in
this case is more than likely to make
life insurance in the future much more
secure.
Because there is so much in the papers
at this time in reference to life insurance,
and because lite insurance itself is SO i'm
portant, we will venture to try in few
words to explain some OF the general
underlying principles to those who have
never thought much about it. OF course,
to many Of our readers these things are
already known, but there are many
others.
The foundation principle Of all life in
surance is that number Of persons as
sociate themselves together with the
mutual agreement that upon the death
OF one Of the associates that the rest ol
the members will pay a certain sum to
the heirs Of the deceased. There are
many variations as to methods Of associa.

Don't Borrow Trouble

Il is bad habit to borrow anything,
but the worst thing you can possibly
borrow, is trouble. When sick, sore,
heavy, weary and worn-out by the pains
and poisons OF dyspepsia, biliousness,
Bright's disease, and similar internal
disorders, don't sit down and brood
over your symptoms, but kfly for relief
to Electric Bitters. Hele you will find
sure and permanent iorgetiuIness OF all
your troubles, and your body will not
be burdened by a load of debt disease.
