Your
CHEAPEST
NECESSITY.

NOUR FIRE insurance dollar pays for
I indemniH-for immunity eseinst f.
ndnciol loss when calamity overtakes
you. But that dollar buys so much more
than the indemnify it pays for that it
ranks as one Of the most effective dollars
you spend.
Fire insurance, from the indemnity
standpoint alone, Is one Of the cheapest
Of ~present-ddy necessities. Its cost has
consistently declined for many years
even during the period Of war imitation.
And this in spite Of the fact that insur-
ence services rendered by the more
than $50 Stock companies constituting
the National Board ofFire Underwriters
has multiplied its activities for the
public welfare and greatly enlarged
their scope.

What shall we wear to keep

Summer of many cool fashions.
First Of all. there's the fashion
rightness of cottons: and as every
one, knows. cottons really are
cooler than almost anything else.
Then. there's the SmartneSS of
linens and Shantungs: and this
goes both for town and country
needs. Finally, chiffon prints
and these have a front
place in this summers mode.
