How Many Know.

Very few holders of old line policies
know that all of these policies that
have an endowment feature have been
held by the supreme courts to be
personal property for mans debts.
For instance, we will suppose that a
man takes out twenty-year endow
ment policy for $1,000 in favor of his
wife or children, pays on 1t for
nineteen years, goes broke, creditors
come 10 and take everything; he
supposes that when he makes one
more payment on his policy he will
have that $1,000 coming to him sure,
but such Is not the case. The courts
have decided that the creditors are
entitled to this policy; whatever paid
up value it has goes to them. The
facts of the case are that the
beneficiary has no claim upon the
policy, unless the insured dies. AS
long as he lives, he can turn it 10 and
get certain paid cash surrender;
consequently, It is personal property.
And more than that, it is not exempt
In any manner. Right here is where
the benefits of fraternal certificate
come. 1t Is life insurance pure and
simple; 1t is for the bene6ciares after
he dies; it is to take the place of the
value that he was to his family, the
proceeds from it can not be attached
for his debts or their debts, and Is the
only family protection worthy of the
name.-Reprint FROM Exchange, by

aud one from drugs. The total ia

1912, forlY-eight alcoholic insane
and five drug victims; in 1918, fifty.
three alcoholic insane and five drug
insane; in 1914, forty alcoholic insane
and fourteen drug victims. Union
