He send his angels to me and He

When my time is up in August

TO THE RELATIVES OF AMERI-
CAN SOLDIERS AND SAILORS

Your relatives serving with the col
ors will soon be back in civil life.
They may be at home now. For your
protection, and for their own, they
undoubtedly have taken out insur-
ance with the United States govern
lment.
You should impress upon your re-
Ilatives in the service the vital i'm
portance of keeping their insurance
with the United States government
Write to them without delay--or tell
them personally, if you can-that
they may retain insurance with the
United States government even after
they leave the military service.
The privilege of continuing their
government insurance is valuable
right given TO soldiers and sailors as
part OF the compensation for their
heroic and loyal service. If the sol
der or sailor permits his insurance
| to lapse, he loses that right, and he
never will be able to regain it.
| But if he keeps up his present in
suranee-by the regular payment of
the monthly premiums-he will be
able to change it later into a stand
ard. government policy WITHOUT
MEDICAL EXAMINATION. Mean
time he can keep up his present in
surance at substantially the same low
rate. The government will write
ordinary life insurance, 20-payment
life, endowment maturing at age 62,
and other usual forms OF insurance.
This will be government insurance,
at government rates.
Many men will come out of the
war physically impaired and will,
therefore, be unable to obtain any
life insurance protection whatsoever
for themselves and their families,
unless they keep up their present in
surance with the United States
government. Uncle Sans insurance
lmay be continued and converted into
standard government policies re-
gardless of the mems physical con-
dition. ;tgy
/ IMPRESS these things upon your
relatives i'm the service. Tell them
there is nothing safer or stronger
than government insurance. Tel
them to talk about this to their COM
,manding officers and to the insur'
lance officer at their place OF DUTY
before they leave the service. Tel
them to carry back with them to civil
life, as an aid and an asset. the con
tinued insurance protection OF the
United States government. Tell them
! for your sake and for their sake, &c
