NEW YORK LIFE Standard policy makes
uncertainties certain. It guarantees so much
ready cash for the protection of your family
'iu event of your premature death, and a cash
capital for your ownuse in old age. You win if you
die, you win if you allow your policy to lapse after
three years, and you certainly win it you live
If it is the duty of the husband. and father to pro
vide a home, the necessities of life and an education
of bis family while he lives, it certainly is an obliga
tion that he owes, them to create, by life insurance, a
cash fund to assist them in event of his premature
death, especially so when hs can secure a policy that
furnishes him a cash fund for his own use in old age,
V As to life insurance being . a moral obligation
all great moral tenches agree. It has been the sub
ject of sermons and addresses innumerable by those
who have thought mot deeply on this question. If
anything is a duty provision for one's own family is
a duty, and the extent of ones duty is measured by
his ability and their needs. If they will need his help
in case of his premature death and he can give it, he
is morally bound to do it. -

Everything WoriuBy Man or Boy
Work is progressing fast on the
foundations for the Episcopal church
on west Main street. Rev. Sykes, of
Aberdeen, will preside over the con
gregation when the building is com
pleted. He "is one of Mississippi's
brightest and best young divine's and
everyone is glad to ' welcome him to
Okolona.
Woman is often referred to by man
as "doubling his joys and halving his
sorrows." That may be compliment
ary but it would seem to be rather
hard on the woman. For in plain
terms it means that where things are
going well with the man his wife
makes them go better. But whep
things are going ill with him, he ex-
, pects the wite to share halt his our
L. ! den. And there's more truth than
i ! I I ir l I -
poetry in this presentation ot mascu
line selfishness. Men don't appre
ciate the fact that the strain of mother
hood alone is a burden bigger than all
the loads that rest upon male shoul
ders. They see the wife grow thin,
i - . . i .
pale, . nervous and wotyi without a
thought that she is overburdened.
Among the pleasant letters received
by Dr. Pierce "are, those from hus
bands who have waked up before it
was too late to the , crushing burdens
laid upoi the wife, and in the search
for help have found in Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription ; a restorative
which has given back to the mother
the health of the maiden and the
maiden's happiness. "Favorite Pre
scription" alwayS helps, and almost al
ways cures. . It has perfectly cured
ninety-eight out , of every hundred
women who have used it when, af-
flicted
