WHEN DADDY is AWAY

When is Daddy coming home"
asks the little fellow, hugging his Ted
dy Bear.
And Mamma happily answers, Papa
will be home soon. Then we'll all
give him a good big squeeze and a
kiss, and go to meet the sandman"
All is peace and happiness. It's the
same in thousands of homes-no doubt
it's often that way in your home.
Then suppose the pail falls un-
~eXpectedly. Papa is taken away
5G3ucnly. All is changed. A
cloud closes over the homes hap
py horizon. Anxious and thought
ful friends do what they can to
help the grief stricken ones. The
question is heard on all sides,
What provision has been made
for the wife and babies? VIII
they be taken care Of? Will they
lose the home? Was he insured?"
1t may happen in your home at any
time. But when 1t comes you should
have everything so arranged that those
you leave behind will be provided Tor
without a question Of doubt.
1t does not pay to leave so import
ant a matter to chance. 1t Is fraught
with too much danger-not to you, no,
but to the very ones who feel it the
most. You need a good policy in a
reliable company. You need it now.
You'll find it here.
