A recent chart issued by a leading
life insurance company showed that
from statistics carefully gathered,
that out of every one hundred men,
twenty-five years of age, thirty-six
are dead before they reach siXty-fve
years Of age, five are well off, six are
self-supporting and fifty-three are
dependent upon relatives or charity.
The subject is one that young men
may well consider, for there are few
that want to be among the dead ones
or among those dependent upon char
ity or relatives. Those who sow to
the winds in their youth, are bound
to gather the fruits of their sowing
in old age.
