instead OF the payment In a lump
sum. This has been criticised by
those who have not given it the pron
or consideration hut it is really one
or the most important advantages OF
Government Insurance. Statistics
show that Of the proceeds Of al in

cent is lost within six wears orior

no soldier can afford to overlook, II
Is rare opportunity and any good
insurance man will admit it. Should

1t is indeed interesting to note the
number Of inquiries that are pouring
into this office from women and chill
drcn Of the race who have been reach
cd by our campaign Of contact and
who have some relative or loved one
whose Government insurance policy
they are anxious to save.
In the far Southland whence n
very considerable number of our col

Uncle Sam, all OF whom went out I'D
on That Journey from which no NOR

mortal ever escapes. Two Of those
three sons died in battle; they each
Carried $4,000 OF Government Insur

aries $115.00 every month. The third
son returned from war unsecured and
healthy. He returned to civil life
ard allowed his Government insur-
aEce to lapse and, in all probability,
would have lost his claim to this
valuable protection had it not been
for the VIZ TeE folk of the faco;:y

tIat Uncle Sam was allowing hls ser

mother and sisters began to urge the

are receiving $17s SO each month by

This is . concrete illustration OF
the material advantage that Govern
