paying two months premiums, it
will be necessary to take a physi

0inore than three months from the
date of lapse. These regulations
apply only to term insurance as

amount of guaranty used.
Q. I am an honorably discharged
veteran, but am committed to a

Fur Snowsuhs'
Fur snowsuits for small fry outside the arctic circle. Soft, lus
trous fur made durable and waterproof by a plastic coating. The
suits are fine for tramping back and forth to school, for the backyard
snowball fight, for coasting. Mother will approve because the fur, in
addition to its sturdiness, requires no special' pampering, is reasonably
priced. Designs by Max Koch in red. rfnle and brown Bonmouton
