18th district, sets forth a quantity of
information that will be Of inesti-
mable value to service men completely
EXPLAINING the government insurance
plan Is published at the urgent request
Of tie insurance department of the
government:
great many men who come to us
seem to think that when the war end
ed, 1t eliminated every chance of their
dying To these men we say: 1.-The
possibility of death or permanent dis
ability Is ever present; there is just
as much need for insurance protection
now as there was during the war"
Influenza alone killed more young,
healthy and vigorous persons in the
world generally, than were killed by
bullets and disease during four and
onehalf years Of war. Yet these men
come to us and say: II don't need any
insurance"
True enough, influenza epidemics are
not likely to occur every year, nor even
hCJuDutiy. oub uOA ulidL w
cause you are healthy and strong, with
bright future before you, that you
don't need insurance. We give below a
table showing approximately what
your normal chances Of dying are, ac-
cording to the American Experience
Table of Mortality:
Between age 25 and 3d. Z out of SO
Between age 35 and d. out of 81
Between age As and 55-10 out of rs
Between age IS and 65---15 out of Ga
In other words, your chances of dy-
ing between the ages of % AMI 65 are
approximately 8 out Of 9.
II you are insured, your loved ones
are protected. Your insurance provides
the money which will feed, clothe and
house them should your death occur
prematurely.
Your government insurance is q
good thing-hang on to it-don't lei
your policy lapse.
II you have let it lapse, either
through carelessness or misunderstood
mg' you can reinstate it within SIX
months from date of lapse, without
medical examination, provided thai
you can certify that you are in as goot
nealth now as you were when the pol
icy lapsed. If 1t has lapsed for {
greater period than six months, it may
oe reinstated provided you take another
medical examination.
