RETURNED SOLDIERS'
INSURANCE ACT.
.An returned soldiers and their fain
dies will be interested in the Return-
ed Soldiers' Insurance Act, under
which they are provided with an op-
portunity of obtaining Life Insurance
at most favourable rates. The Act
became effective on September 1st,
1020, and will remain in force for
two years,
Under the provisions of the Act
airy honourably discharged soldier,
sailor, or nurse, of .the Canadian
Forces domiciled and resident in Can-
ada, may insure with the Government
to an amountfrom
$500.00
to $5,000.-
00.
5,000:00. Under certain conditions the
widow of a returned soldier, who died
subsequent to discharge may also ob.
thin insurance. •
In addition to former members of
the C. E. F., the privileges of the Act
are available to anyone, male or fe-
male who served during the late War
in the Imperial Artily or with the
Forces of any of the allied or associ-
ated 'Powers,
ssoci-ateclpowers, providing they were do-
miciled end resident in Canada be-
fore the War and hold an honourable
'discharge. •
Many of those who served over-
seas, while not suffering from a se-
vere disability, find that their physi-
cal condition is such that they are un-
able to obtain life insurance .at all
or only at much higher mates than
are normally demanded. They, there-
fore find themselves severely handi-
capped in providing protection for
their. dependents. Tinder the Re-
turned Soldiort' Insuraneo Act all re,
tinned men are placed en an equal
basic as no medical examination is
required.
The nraniium rates are low. They
vary with the ago of the insured and
the plan of insurance chosen, .'At
the age of twenty-five a straight life
policy for $1,000 costs $1.24 per
month, . At- the age of thirty-five,
the rate is $L70 per month. Bane.

t Exchanges Are Costly.
TO , 'i If a mail order buyer le disappoint-
ed in his purchase,'as he is very apt
to be whet; he compares the article
upon its arrival with the picture and
flowery description which appeared in
the catalogue, the wisest plan is to
take what he gets and make the best
of it, for every time he sends an arti-
cle back to be exchanged he is Piling
up the express or freight charges' and
even if the article is exchanged as
requested, the buyer is not apt to
fare much better on the second

Thoptmail order houses are well
aware of the fact that the majority
of their customers will not .go to the
trouble and expense of returning an
article if it does not come up to their
expectations and as a result they can
work the substitution game to their
hearts' content.
The home merchant, however, can-
not do business in this way and, as
has beeni
sa d, the majority of them
would not do it if they could. The
home merchant, if he has not the
article called for, may offer another
with the explapation that it is of
the same quality as the one for which
the customer asked. Good merchants
nowadays even hesitate to offer some-
thing "just as good" to the customer
especially when the article called for
is one that has become well-known
and popular through the advertising
done by the manufacturer, but to at-
tempt to snake a substitution with-
out the knowledge or consent of the
customer! Well, it isn't being done
by the local merchants to -day.
Substitution Made Easy.
Substitution is made easy for the
mail order houses, also, by the fact
that they do not sell much of what is
known as "advertised" goods—that
retail merchants nowadays attempt is, goods that have been thoroughly
to do a thing of that kind. The great advertised by the manufacturers and
majority of merchants do not do this have become nationally known
for two reasons. One reason is that through such advertising. A large
they wouldn't do it if thy could and part of the merchandise which the
the other is that they couldn't do it mail order houses sell purports to be

It was a famous American show-
man who declared that the American
people love to be humbugged. That
saying is many years old now but
sometimes it seems that there is
about as much truth in it now as
there was when it was first uttered.
People as a rule do not like the
idea of having "something put over"
on them, but from the way in which
the great mail order houses in the
big cities flourish it seems that a great
many people do not mind it a bit.
The business man who, when he
gets a call fel' an article which -he
has not in stock, attempts to substi-
tute some other article of 'a similar
nature without telling the buyer of
the substitution, is "putting some-
thing over" on his customer. Pew

An unmarried man or a widower
without children is required to name
his future wife and children as bene-
ficiaries. Should thb insulted die un-
married the insurance money maybe
paid to one or more of his immediate
relatives according to his will.
An exceptional advantage of this
insurance is the provision made for
a disability benefit. Under this' sec=
tion should the policy holder become
totally and permanently disabled he
is relieved from paying further pre-
miams and the insurance money is
paid to him direct in annual instal-
ments equals to ono -twentieth of the
total amount of the policy.
