To get the $1,000 to pay the man's beneficiaries, therefore, the company must charge each of the men $1. This illustrates all insurance.

Of course the company must charge each man a little more because the company must be compensated for its time and trouble. If the individual policies are to acquire any cash or loan value, the company again, must charge enough in addition to the dollar to make up these values. While actual companies offer various policies intended to meet all needs and desires, each person pays his portion of the costs to the company of supplying these various features. The four basic, most common types of life insurance are: (1) term, (2) ordinary life. (3) limited-payment, (4) endowment.

Term insurance gives maximum protection at lowest, cost, because the policy terminiates at the end of a stated period of (time. Also, it has no cash sur-i render or loan value. It especial-j ly fits the needs of a young DfllTIOQe couple with little children. 9 a VUmuyv family needs maximum protec- (VJgQp tion on the husband at a time when the family's ability to pay is lowest. If you buy term insurance, be sure that it is renewable for another term convertible eventually into a and as your children grow up.

Take advantage of any opportunity to'buy low-cost group insurance, and remember that you cannot possibly afford to insure yourself for enough to bring your family in the event of your death, the amount of money you would have earned through the years if you had lived. About the most you can do is provide the family with insurance equal to your income for one, two, or a few years. Such will give them time, if need be. to adjust and work out their own financial problems. 'The family bread-winner is the one who ought to be insured first and last.

Losing him is the thing the family need protection against. The young wife has additional protection if she has some form of business training or perhaps a teacher's certificate. With these she can earn a living if she has to. The man who buys life insurance buys protection for his family. TAKES HUSBAND'S PLACE IN HOUSE--Mrs.
