Dion-Insured Termed Gamblers. When the business man is treading on shaky ground, when the estate is in poor shape, when business is slow, when prospects are gloomy, are the very times when a man is in need of the commercial doctor the life under writer. . Men who delay the purchase of pro tection for their estate and for their family at this time are gamblers of the first magnitude. They are gam bling with the lives of their very own. It is the one time in the course of a man's life when he should welcome the life underwriter with open arms, in stead of declining the interview be cause of strained financial conditions. Distressing business conditions are the germs which invariably bring about poverty, failure and ruin. It is true that they cannot always be checked, but life insurance as an antidote has no equal. The man who is ill never waits for the doctor to caJL He sends for him. ft should be the same In the case of the man whose estate or business is not In good condition. Why not send for the life underwriter? It should be the first move of the man whose credit Is at a low ebb. It should be the first act of the man who is Interested in the welfare of his family. , "Underwriters' Tonic" Advised. Despite this fact nearly all life In surance is sold under protest. And practically all of the policies are writ ten at a time when the insurant's bank account is in a flourishing condition, when the estate is in fair shape and when he is, generally speaking, enjoy ing prosperity. It is because the great majority of men when In financial trouble, do not heed tha call of the life underwriter that humanity is confronted with so many failures and poverty-stricken families. A little of the underwriter's tonic here will do much towards driv ing away all worry. Yet the very per sons who need life insurance the moit are the very persons who will not even allow an interview upon the subject. The man who conducts a personal accounting with himself displays wis dom. This Bhould be a semi-annual event in every man's life. He should, as near as possible, estimate the pres ent cash value of his estate. If found insufficient to provide adequate pro tection for the family he should bor row, if necessary, the funds with which to make this provision.
