More Widows Than widowers.

According to the United States GEN.
sus of 1920. there are in this country
at this time 3.1T0,000 widows and only
1, Az 800 widowers. This indicates
that the chances are, on the average,
two to one that a man will pass away
before his wife. The main reason for
this condition of affairs is that the
wife is generally several years young
er than the husband, and then, too.
at the ages above fifty the mortality
rate for men is much higher than for
women.-Bankers' Life Bulletin.
