Life Insurance.

Did you know that a life insurance
policy on your husbands or your own
life becomes absolute after a year?
BY absolute we mean that no condition
or incident occurring, or learned later,
has any effect on it. In other words.
if one developed an incurable or serious
disease after a year, the policy could
not be voided.
1t is also true that an insurance policy
made out in another persons favor
cannot be attached. For example, if
a man died in debt, and his insurance
were made out in his wife's favor, or
naming her as beneficiary, creditors
could not seize any part of the insurance
principal to satisfy their claims.
In stating that an insurance policy
is absolute, it may be added that the
double indemnity clause is open to in
vestigation. If the circumstances of
death are suspicious. evidence indicating
fraud may hold up payment of the
double benefit until a civil court decides
upon the facts.
Often a widow is in doubt as to what
she must do to collect insurance. After
the year period has expired, it is only
necessary to produce evidence of the
death of the insured one to collect the
principal. If the insured dies before the
first year of the policy has expired, col
lection may be subject to a formal in
vestigation. Ordinarily, however, this
is purely a matter of form.
Indemnity insurance, when it is part
of the life policy does not influence the
latter at all If an insured person is
permanently disabled, most policies read
that she receives the benefits specified,

that if one holds a book in the hand

sleeping Whether this is absolutely
true or not, would not like to certify,

the little sleep is most refreshing.
Reading in bed or reading lying
down is a luxury. even though the
reading may be study or research. Be
sure the light is right. or eye strain
may be fostered If the light falls en-

properly, all is well.
There is a vast difference between
lazily lying in bed and letting the work
remain undone. and working while
