Soldiers urged TO keep Insurance
The tendency viii be to drop the
Government Insurance just as soon
as the boys return to civil life. A sad
der blunder cannot be made. The in
is obtained at actual cost
When the $3.50 is paid in it does not
pay for a lot of overhead expenses
and huge salaries is paid is
the actual cost and nothing more.
Is it safe to drop the policy? The
experience of other wars have dem
onstrated that the per centage for the
first six months of deaths among dis
charged soldiers is greater than
among those who have followed civil
ian walks. So cling to the Govern
ment policy for six months at least
and then if it is desired, reduce, but
do not lapse.
