Life Insurance is
the flower of
love surviving the
frost of death.
Font WEIGHTY REASONS FOR LIFE
INSURANCE.
FIRST Statistics tell us that only two men in one
hundred succeed in business.
SECOND That only one man in thirty has suffi
cient for old age.
THIRD That in the settlement of valuable estates
scarcely one per cent reaches or maintains the
valuation of the Testator.
FOURTH That the number of contested vlls is
very large.
IF YOU could pay the cost of a life policy and neg
lected to do so, it's a mean thing for you to'go up
to Heaven, while your family go to the poor
house. You, at death, move into a mansion, riv
er front, and they move into two rooms on the
fourth story back of a tenement house. When
they are out at the elbows and knees, the
thought of your splendid robe in Heaven will
. not keep them warm. The minister may preach
a splendid sermon over your remains and the
quartette may sing like four angels in the organ
loft, but your death will bp a swinrllp.

PUREST FIRES ARt
COHSTAf
PEOPLE SHOULD ORGANIZE TO
PREVENT RUTHLESS DESTRUC
TION OF PROPERTY.
BIB FIRES HARD TO SUBDUE
Farmers in One Rural District Have
Prevented Serious Losses by
Organizing.
The following extrart from the Mill
Spring correspondent of the Polk
Cous.ty News and Tryon Bee again
j rails attention to the constant menace
to lite and the enormous damage to
! property incident to forest fires:
i "A destructive fire has been raging
' on White Oak Mountain for several
; days. Our people should organize
Uiemselves in different ways to pre
rent such ruthless destruction of our
I forests by ignorant and evil minded
persons. Owing to the strong winds
at this time of the year, it is very
difficult 1o subdue such fires when
once they get started."
In a recent Issue of Farm and Fire
side a story appears telling of the
organization of a farmers fire league
which was organized by a fali t'.u nia
community and has proved a valuable
asset to farmers an I property owners
In hitherto much menaced locality.
It was at Oakdale. a rural distrht In
California, which was in the mid ? of

was given, whl h every one attended
jn.l the firt funds for the society
were raised. Axe, long handled rakes
ind hoes and other implement were
procured and distributed at the vari
ous small shacks hurt ns fire fighting
itnMnu In convenient places. On a
liph hill they established a "looknut?
ind the simplest of telephone systems,
ilso a comprehensive code of signals.
t the first appearance of fire notice
sua given ell along the line and league
nembera from far and near rallied at
he danger points. When necessary
lay and night brigades were formed.
The successful work of the league
nterested ethers and it has grown
iontlnuously since the autumn of 1912

How To Stop Loss of Hair
and Start New Growth
If your hair Is thinningout, lifeless,
full of dandruff, and your head Itches

. Don't wait until the hair root is dead,
for then nothing can help you, but
1 get from your druggist lour ounces
1 of Tariasian sage it don't cost much
'and there it nothing you could use
that's any better. Dr. Sangerbund,
the famous Paris specialist, discover
ed that dandruff and falling hair are
caused by a microbe then came the
discovery of the value of Parisian
iage (liquid form t to destroy this
: germ, prevent falling hair and the
(formation of dandruff. A few ma's-
sages with Parisian sage are all that
iare usually needed, and very soon you
j should be able to see the new hairs

not stain and makes the hair lustrous,
soft and fluffy. Be sure you get
Parisian sage (Glroux's), for this
rand Is guaranteed. English Drug
