If v/in lnXmif t<> ' * ? ,,v,"'.b 1W either class you will lind comfort' ami guidance in "The Story of Life insurance," a serios of sane and timely articles by l?nrton J. Jlendriek, which begins in the May MoCluro's. The lirst one carries the title, "The Surplus: the Basis of Corruption." It states, for the first time, plainly and thoroughly the system of Life Insurance and the cause of the disgrace into which many of the larger and richer companies have fallen. Mr. Ilendrick is fair; lie tells the full truth about i each side. lie gives the good and tho i-1- lorccs have had their shoulders to Life Insurance, from the very beginning. It is true that the corrupt force has been far the stronger; hut had it not been for the pushing of the honest and conservative men, one mi *ht gin ss where the institution would be to-day. This article shows how the big companies in boasting of their enormous surpluses are actually confessing their own dishonesty?the betrayal of a sacred trust. It tells how the surplus has grown, and how it has been juggled with and squandered for extravagant entertainments and rotten stock speculation. The mystery of deferred dividends is accurately sol veil, and those who were ; led into those policies learn just how much they have lost by it. You learn what a straight honest policy is, and why it should cost you so much and no more to have your lives insured. The remedy for the present abuses is suggested.
