Show GOVERNMENT INSURANCE i IS SPLENDID INVESTMENT Reappearance of Influenza Makes Reinstatement of War Risk Polices Very Important. With the return of tho influenza epidemic we uio reminded more than ever of tho value of our insurance und if our beneficiaries were worthy of prolcction during the siege of war they certainly are entitled to protection protec-tion now, since according to statistics statis-tics the influenza claimed more victims vic-tims than the casualty list of war. Witn the recent passage of tho Sweet Bill, the government insurance is more attractive thun uny other insurance in-surance to the ex-service mnn. A comparison of the premium rates of government insurance with those of ordinal y life insurance policies shows that tho premiums on government in-surunco in-surunco policies nro from two-thirds to three-fourths of whnt they nro in ordinary companies. Tho government bears without charge to the fnsurcd nil expenses of administration. Tho government insurance curries the same features "as to extended insurance, insur-ance, cash surrender values, paid up insurance and loan values us does the ordinnry policy, with the ndditionnl benefit thnt if the insured becomes totally permanently disabled further premiums nro waived. From an investment in-vestment standpoint, if you can secure se-cure your insurance for one-third or one-fourth less than commercial insurance, in-surance, it is n conclusive fact that you nro making 33 1-3 or 25 on your money, which is more than ordinary or-dinary investments pay. If you desiro to reinstate your insurance, in-surance, you may do so by paying two months' premiums on tho amount you wish to take up not the amount you dropped. You may be reinstated without examination any time prior to July 1, 1920, nnd you may apply for reinstatement any timo within 18 months after you hnvo been discharged. dis-charged. Thorcforo, since the government insurance in-surance is much more attractive now than formerly, und payable in one lump sum or monthly installments at the option of tho beneficiary, it behooves be-hooves ovcry sorvicc man to continue his insurance, or if he has allowed it to lapse to reinstato it to the full extent lie feels nblo to carry. If you desire to secure forms for reinstatement or conversion, or desire to ascertain the rates, they will be gladly furnished on application by R. T. Forbes, Post Adjutant To relieve nny confusion thnt may exist in tho minds of former scrvico men on account of tho special pro- vision of lapsed War Term Insurance which authorized reinstatement up to December 31, 1919, regardless of tho date of discharge, announcement is made by Director R. G. Cholmelcy-Jones Cholmelcy-Jones of the Bureau of War Risk Insurunco that the provisions for reinstatement re-instatement of lupsed or cnncellcd insurance, in-surance, within 18 months from date of discharge, upon payment of only two months' premiums on tho amount of insurance to bo reinstated, provided provid-ed the insured is in ns good health as at the date of his discharge or expiration ex-piration of the grace poriod whichever which-ever is the latest date, nnd so states in his application, still hold good. Tho provision that discharged service men nro permitted to reinstato rein-stato at any time within three calendar calen-dar months following the date of discharge dis-charge by merely paying the two months' premiums without making n formal application or statement as to health is also still in force. The privisions (for reinstatement do not protect n man until he actually reinstates. If he waits ho may not bo in ns good health as he was nt the tjmo of discharge nnd consequently may not be nblo to sccuro reinstatement. |
