W0kN YOU AXE DEAD.
An insurance policy in a good CON-
pany is mighty handy thing to have
IN the house at your funeral.
1t brings money to your family at
the time when the family needs money
more than at any other time.
Life insurance is the greatest and
most beneficent form Of cooperation
the world has known. 1t distinctly
carries out the Scriptural injunction.
Bear ye one another's burdens
1t Is an organized effort toward the
abolition Of poverty
Now
II you deserted your family while
alive. what would the law DO to you:
Put you in Jail
Does death, which relieves you of le-
gal responsibility. relieve you Of the
moral responsibility to your family:
II you ran away from your wife and
children and left them unprovided for
the neighbors would call you rascal.
They would not call you a rascal il
you should die without providing for
your family. but your memory would
suffer. The neishbors would say you
had been neglectful, to say the least
And your wife and children-how
will they think of you?
When you die, my friend, there will
be weeping In your house and sadness.
Whether you be rich or poor, wise or
negiectful. there will be great sense
of bereavement
But
You have the chance while living to
provide for that day of mourning. to
take away the anxiety about money
for expenses and the worry because of
the future years.
And the memory of you shall be
blessed.
Life insurance is not charity.
1t Is more than charity. better than
charity. because it saves to its bene-
pendence.
The money 1t brings to the family
lbelongs to the family 1t is theirs. 1t
was intended for them.
You have reached out helping hand
from your very grave-a hand to bless
loved and lost awhile.
And the money you have provided is
ready money.
''He gives twice who gives quickly
When you are dead. my friend, you
will no longer be able to shield your
wife from the rough corners of the
world or I'd help your boy to an edu-
cation or to save your daughter from,
hardships and temptations.

MODESTO NOTIONS.
Low Cut Shoes Of Cravanette For
Sunmer-New Ornaments.

Giving much the same appearance as
suede, the new low cut shoes Of serge
or cravenette are much more practical.
Boots of two toned ottoman silk are
more dressy than the cravenette, and
ottoman retains its shape better than
suede.
1t is interesting news for women who
are fond Of jet ornaments to hear that
they are being cut from camel coal
and have the same brilliancy and
beauty as tine best Whitby jet. The
ornaments made from coal are likely
to be less expensive than the other jet.
White frocks and muslin blouses are
being made up with great amount of

BE UNAFRAID.

Fear Is mans deadliest foe.
And yet in all the universe of God
there is nothing to be afraid Of
If only every day is fronted with
high courage.
Some of us are in bondage to fears
all our lives because we forget that
divine love rules in every place and
watches even the sparrow's fall.
Fear is born OF ignorance.
He who knows the ordered ways OF
nature knows that every tiny leaf that
IS swirled by the hapless winds finds
at last it's safe retreat and destiny in
the vast reconstruction of things.
Every drop Of water does what it is
bid to do.
The pollen of the fields gladly yields
itself to the swift breath of nature and
is waited to distant shores to fructffy
a fertile. waiting soil.
Everything in the world, man ex-
cepted, graciously yields itself to
change.
WHY should man be stubborn?
Why should he hesitate to adjust
himself to changed conditions, shud-
dering with fear lest he lose himself In
transformation?
To do SO is great mistake.
Because all things are on the move.
Man must move with them. He can
not stop if he would. Willingly or I'M
willingly, like the drop of water, he
must yield himself to the inevitable.
Why not, then, willingly submit?
If man is to be happy he must be In
accord with his environment.
Realizing that he is to so on through
life's lofty chambers, through the por-
tails Of death, through vast eternity, he
should adjust his mind and heart to
the great changes.
Why not meet that which must
needs come fearlessly and gladly?
Therefore let us cut the Gordian
knot of every single thread of fear
that is In us.
Gods in his heaven, and ais well. !"
Stay not shivering in the edge OF
vain shadows that viii fee away when
you have disenthralled yourself from
foolish fears.
Hold up your chin and be unafraid.
Naught that is bad can really harm
your fathers child, neither death,
nor life, NOR angels. nor principalities.
nor powers, nor things present. nor
things to come"

But our 900. FOUNDER Of a president is
not slow.
It is undeniable that he waddles in
his walk like duck, though the Taft
wad1le is not as well known as the

rides In carriage.
But he is not slothful.
He Is stout without being obese, be
IL portly without being pursy. and he
Is anything but lazy. He IL neither

mind.

any lean and hungry Cassius.
He has suave smile, but-he saw
