Accidents
Are Common

about accidents is that
people keep thinking
they are rare. They are
always greatly aston
ished when any such
mishap falls upon them.
AS a matter Of fact, it
is only the tremendous,
the stunning kind Of ac-
cident that is rare-like
a San Francisco earth
quake, a G alveston
storm, or that burning
"Blimp" airship which
recently fell upon a
bank full of busy people
in Chicago.
These were catastro-
Plies, but, compared with
these the real quota of
accidents happening in
the common everyday
life of people may be
numbered like the sands
of the sea. They are al
most as common as ILL
ness, which most people
take as a matter-of-
course.
But did you know
that you can now be in
sured against both of
these everyday occur
rences in the same care
fully written policy? 1t
is something that COM
paratively few people
have understood, but
they are growing more
and more grateful for it
every day.
The special feature
of this Accident and
Health" policy is, that
in case Of ordinary i'll
ness the insured is paid
a weekly indemnity
through a lengthy pc
Rod, just as he would be
in case of accident; and
in addition, the policy
has all the usual provi-
sions covering death or
p'articula ar injury
through accident.
The efficient corps OF
Trustees System en-
ployes in the Insurance
Department at 1924 LIST

priced and excellent
policy, as we'll as all
other kinds of insurance
that Birmingham folks
