No prudent and generous man can afford to be uninsured. In case of long life it is a savings bank, yielding a good profit upon the money paid as premiums. If death occurs lu early life it gives the largest possible returns for a given outlay. Business prudence and every noble impulse of the human breast require tin carrying of such an amount of life insurance as will provide wife and children against want when the cruel hand of death has laid low their natural supporter aud protector. Our home company, the Kansas Mutual Association, is meeting a public demand, and doing a great good in giviug tbe people of Kansas, safe Insurance at a cost that Is reasonable, and upon a plan that is perfection.

Put yourself in line to bestow a benefit upon your loved ones through the medium of this company, and thus prove your rtride bv vour natronage. This association has paid death claims since its organization of oyer $280,000.00 J. C. Loop, of Clay Ce er is special agent tor tbe association and can give all re quired information. T.
