Task Of Separation,

How important loom the thousand
and one things that fill the daily life,
yet how trivial is the bulk of them!
To separate the realities from the un-
realities, the significant from the
trifling and non-essential-that surely
is the first step to self-knowledge. the
one and only royal road to self-con.

NOVEL INSURANCE
AGAINST OLD AGE
Fraternal Organization Starts
Business in Richmond to Help
the Coming Decrepits.

| II thore IS anything new In indus
| trial or commercial or banking or
| insurance lines or any other lines Rich
mond is soon to catch on. Just few
| days ago an insurance company was
chartered by the State Corporation
Commission to do a novel business In
tho State. 1t Is kind OF fraternal
and beneficiary organization of new
insurance kind. It's chartered name Is
| The American Anchor. Its purpose is
| to Issue what are styled income in
| surance policies, and this is unique
insurance proposition in this part of
the world.
Income insurance is said not to be
| new In European countries. where 1t
| is usually under the direct or indirect
control of the government. Great
Britain in particular has an elaborate
| system, which is carried on In con-
junction with the post-ofilce savings
| banks. In other European countries
policies are issued to the man or wom-
an who wishes to secure old age or
disability pay.
Although the insurance business In
| this country has nourished and a null
! titude of different forms of policies are
available, the matter of income insur-
ance seems to have been totally dis
| regarded. 1t Is true that there are
many forms of accident insurance and
those carrying annuities for total dis
ability, but the old-aSc feature and
other points to bc covered in Tho
| American Anchor are said to be abso-
lutely new.
Under tho existing strenuous condi-
! lions Of life, the wage Garner is usually
not able to amass wealth or means
sufficient to provide competency
during old age sickness. BY tenn
| porary or permanent disability he may
even DO compelled to drop his life in
surance.
The American Anchor. so II Is said,
| proposes to provide against these con
| tinsencies and its function is TO pro-
! tect the insured during life by pro-
| vidinS, to quote from the prospectus:
| "A fixed monthly income when sick
or disabled, whether caused by dis
! ease or accident
"a fixed monthly income Tor life in
| the event OF permanent total disability
| which prevents the insured from earn
Ing a livelihood
"A fixed monthly income for life for
old age disability after the insured has
| reached seventy years"
The company is Incorporated under
! the laws of this State. and Is to be
under the supervision OF the Insurance
| department. The rates and benefits
! are based on scientific actuarial know
| ledge. The home office Is located at
