the attention of ex-service men who
have let their war risk insurance
lapse or still have it in the old form
that July 2, 1926, is the dead line
for the conversion or reinstatement
of insurance AS this insurance is
recognized, even by the old line in
surance companies, as the cheap
est and best insurance chat the eX
service man could possibly obtain,
it behooves those comrades who
have not yet converted, or have let
lapse their insurance, to rei1state
or convert Immediately.
Application for conversion need
be accompanied by only one month
ly premium on the converted policy.
An application for reinstatement
and conversion should include re-
mittance sufficient to cover the
premium for reinstatement of term
insurance and at least one monthly
premium on the converted policy,
also report of complete physical
examination by physician.
For disabled men the condition
for reinstatement are different and
full information, as well as blank
application for both conversion and
reinstatement, can be obtained
from Postmaster Kleindienst. Mr..

ton of the forms.
