4. Notwithstanding the above Ptat
ed requirements, an ex-service mat
who has allowed his policy to lapse
may reinstate his insurance at anj
time prior to March 4, 1926, under tho
following regulations:
If the ex-service man is disable*! as
a result of any injury or disease con
traded in or aggravated by his mill
tary or naval service .luring the
World War, but is not totally and permanently disabled he may reinstate
his lapsed or cancelled renewable tern:
insurance by submitting a report of
a complete medical examination tc
show that he is not suffering from any
disability other than that contracted
in the service. He also will oe re
quired to pay all past due monthl
premiums which would have beouu
payable if the inursance had no
lapsed, together with interest at a rat-
of five per cent, per annum, com
pounded annually, on each premium
from the due date thereof.
Any ex-service man who is interested in reinstating his insurance may
secure reinstatement blanks or fin-the
information, by applying to the Vet
erans' Bureau district office or sub-of
fice in his territory.
In order to illustrate some of the
advantages of United States Government Life Insurance,* converted insurance, the bureau cites the following
provisions:
(a) The permanent aud total disability clause which has no age limit.
Commercial policies ordinarily restrict
liability under their disability clauses
to ages sixty, sixty-two or sixty-five
(b) A full reserve is available,
after twelve full monthly premiums
have been paid, as a cash value. Commercial policies usually provide for a
cash value at the end of the second or
third year. This cash value is not
ordinarily full l-eserve on the policy.
(e) The policy also contains a provision that after twelve full monthly
premiums' have been paid the insured
may borrow from the Government on
his policy 94 per cent of the cash
value thereon.
(d) Premiums are payable monthly. They become due the first of each
mouth and payable at any time within
thirty-one days including that date.
(e) The policy is payable in 240
monthly installments or in any less
number in multiplies of twelve if selected by the insured. The insured may
also elect to have the insurance payable in one sum. There is a provision
in the policy whereby the insurance
may be paid to the beneficiary in
monthly installments during his or her
life time, but if he or she dies before
receiving 240 installments, the remaining unpaid installments would be payable in accordance with the terms of
the contract.
(f) The policy providos for extended and paid up insurance. This

substitute   was   immediately  sent   to'
fill the temporary vacancy.    But, as
every music critic, knows, it requires
considerable   practice   and   "working
together" before a quartette can consider themselves equipped to appear
as a professional organization. As a
matter of fact, the performance was
staged, with the substitute, at Harrison Monday night, and are reported
to have done remarkably well under
the circumstancos. ' But the ladles
themselves were conscious that they
had made many mistakes and were
not satisfied to go on until they had
had time for more practice. They have
earned an exceptionally high reputation in the past two seasons and they
lid not Avant to do less than their
best for Clare even though it meant
.•ancelliug an engagement at consider-"
able financial loss to their management and embarassraent to themselves.
It cannot be definitely stated at this
time whether a return engagement
will be arranged for a later date; or
whether a different attraction will be
substituted, 'to come at a date to be
arranged; or the holders of season

price paid for their tickets. Further
announcement will be made.
