Mrs. Mary E. Carter, 1927 Ken
sington, Kansas City, Mo-, is
mighty proud of her beautiful
flower garden and she likes to
keep it in tip top shape. Her gar
den won't be looking rundown
any more because she now has the
pep and energy to get out and
work since she started taking
HADACOL. Her system was de-
ficient in Vitamins B1, B2, Mia
Gin, and Iron which HADACOL
contains.
Here Is Mrs. Carter's statement:
Before l started taking HADA-
COL I had an awful hard time
with aches and pains. Seems like
all the wind would have to do is
blow a little and would catch
cold. / had an awful hard time
sleeping seems like all did
was sleep between pains - just
cat maps all night long. Then l
heard one day how other folks
were being helped by HADACOL.
I have taken three bottles of HAD
ACOL and the change is amaz-
ing - no more aches and pains
and sleep-why, sleep 8 hours
without waking up. ! feel won
derful -- just wonderful-thanks
to HADACOL."
Thousands Are Thankful
for the way it has helped their
lsystems which lacked Vitamins
lB1, BIZ, and Niacin. Yes, even
hundreds of doctors have recon-
mended HADACOL to their pa
tientS.
And these important Vitamins
and Minerals in HADACOL come
to you in special liquid form SC
that they are quickly absorbed
and assimilated in the blood
stream, ready to go right to work
at once. HADACOL even helps tc
build up the red blood cells (wher
Iron is needed) to carry these
precious elements to every part
of your body.
Relieves Cause Of Your Trouble
from Such Deficiencies
| HADACOL now makes it posi-
BILE for you to relieve the active
cause of vague aches and pains
and a general rundown condi-
ton when due to deficiencies OF
Vitamins B1, B2, Iron and Niacin
So why be satisfied with sympto-
matte relief when you can now
relieve the cause with HADACOL
|. Yes, relieve those deficiencie:
directly!
So what are you waiting for
Why continue to suffer? Why be
miserable?
Know what 1t means to gel

So the VA advises returnees
with converted policies to take
the cash value and then buy new
term insurance as in No. ! above
if they can't afford the converted
policies on service pay.
That's okay for the vets whose
policies have been converted for
more than a year. But policies
converted in less than q year
can't be caShed in.
The VA says returnees in that
position should pay the expensive
premium somehow until the con-

to cash it in and buy term in

In any case, II the returning
vet can afford to keep up present

National Service Life Insurance
is becoming mighty important,
not only to fellows going into
service for the first time but also
to veterans returning to service.
Returning vets (call 'em re-
turnees) who already have NSLI
policies can continue them Just
as they are with monthly pre-
miums deducted from their pay.
Such a deduction is called GLASS
N" allotment.
But a great many vets have
converted their policies from term
insurance to some higher pre-
MUM form Of insurance. Ap-
parently they can afford these
premiums with their civilian in
come. Many won't be able to
keep up high premium payments
on service pay.
Take Jack Smith. He con-
verted his wartime term insur-
ance in 1949 to a 20-payment
$4,000 life policy. He was 25
at the time, which means he's
paying a monthly premium of
$2l.20. AS smart, hard-work-
ing used-car salesman Jack can
afford this.
But Jack is a sergeant in the
Marine Corps Organized Reserve.
His unit is called up, and he starts
drawing STAT a month base pay
with his eight years total service.
With a wife to support, he can't
afford that heavy premium.
He could do one of two things:
l. Since his converted policy has
been in force for at least a year.
he could cash it in and take the
cash value, which would amount
to $178.10. Civilian vets who do
this cannot take out new policy.
But Jack Smith, since he's on ac-
tive duty, can then take out up to
$4,000 worth of term insurance,
paying only $3.50 a month at his
present age of 26.
2. One year after he converted
his policy he could get extended
insurance" Instead of taking cash
he could leave his full $4,000 in
surance in force for two years and
ITO days in his case-without pay
ing any premiums. Extension per-
iods vary according to type of
policy and time it has been in
force.
At the end Of two years and 110
days Jack could take out up to
$4,000 of term NSLI again IF he
were still on active duty. That's
the catch. The world crisis might
settle down before then and Jack
might find himself back selling
used cars before his extended in
surance" period was up. Once it
ran out, he couldn't take out an
