MEN GOING TO WAR
NEED LIFE INSURANCE

Why should young man liable
for military service insure his life?
There comes a time in the life of
almost every young man, when he is
called upon to assume the duty of
supporting a near relative.
We see about us daily fathers who
have been stricken-unable to work
and who no longer can receive pay
checks We see the sons going out to
work and keeping the meal barrel
full, and providing help for mothers
and sisters. So long as this young
man can do this all goes along well.
The present time sees many young
men who do not have to do this to-
day, as father is we'll and making a
good income and supporting the fam
lily all right. The son goes away,
to war, perhaps year has gone by
changes have come, fathers business
or his health is gone, mother cannot
go out to work, and yet hunger must
be stayed. The son who could help
if he were here, is gone. He is fight
ing in France, or perhaps word has
come that he was killed in battle, so
that duty that would have been a
kreat JOY to him is denied.
And yet had this son insured
this value of his life to his
mother or father, he could have
provided for them over m y
years possibly until they to o
had been called to meet him beyond.
If a young man thinks at all he can
not help but see that in insuring his
life, he may thus prevent his most
loved relative from becoming pub
lie care, objects of charity to be cared
for by the county. And such care
is cheerless. For no one can tell
what the future may bring, fortunes
90 in short time, a man may be
well off in July, and in January a
bankrupt. He may have plenty in
December, and March may find him
destitute. Death is sure, and life IN
surance is pay check coming regu-
larly after work is over for good. He
can use a small part Of his pay for
this protection.
