Show SHOULD BE AIDED. Yuiin soldiers who tool; advantage (if th'1 offer of tlie poverninent and insured in-sured their lives have been advised that I hey i-nn, retain the'r policies for th.: j'ext T vo a ears l!:e fjuic rates tln v have been paying, ly which time it 'is 'hoped that all siku policies may , l:e changed to the st.i:u:ui d form of the jnld-lir.c companies. 1 take some Itimo to work out the prot'eni, and it is ! i neumbeut upon the relatives and friends ot the young soldiers to holp tliem nay 'the premiums until they get settled in life and arc better prepared to 'looh cut. for themek"c$. The youths who -took out the. full amount of $10,000 will, without doublj need su-eh help in order to keep up the payments, and never again will they have the benefit of .such cheap insurance. . Th j people tof the I i:iled States carry more, insurance insur-ance tlu'n those .of any .other. covrntry in the world, and, if all of the soldiers who have taken out policies retain them, the protection, afforded . will have a highly beneficial result, for the argument argu-ment in favor of life insurance cannot be successfully controverted. Xow it is quite possible, even .probable, that many thousands of men, through disability incurred in-curred in the, service of their country, will be unable to secure insurance from private sources. Jt is also highly probable prob-able that, be the returning soldiers ever so sound in body, they will Devcr again h:ie, a similar opportunity. So, . .t.h'v should be cautioned against allowing their policies to lapse after they are discharged, and in ease they are unable to keep up the payments pay-ments their parents or friends should do .it for tliem. We regard this as a j highly import n at matter. |
