THREE great fears walk with uieri from their work to their

rudely Into conversations of husbands and wives, causing sudden
silences. They thrust themselves between Ihe faces of men and
their little ones; three gnawing fears:
THE FEAR OF LOSS OF HEALTH,
THE FEAR OF LOSS OF JOB
THE FEAR OF DEPENDENT OLD AGE.
But these fear can be banished forever. The way Is simple
