You and your family have a better chance to live long and happily than people ever had before in the history of the world. Splendid gains have been made in the United States and Canada within the last thirteen years. Stated in an insur- ance man's language, five years have been added to the average expectation of life. But more encouraging —in the same period, nearly nine years were added to the life expectation of Metropolitan Industrial Policyholders—a gain, over the general average, of four extra years.

Your Health in 1926 Use the helps offered by medical science to prevent disease. You need never fear typhoid. Inoculation will pre- vent it. Your children need never have diphtheria. Toxin-antitoxin treatments will safeguard them. Smallpox will not touch your family if all are vaccinated when necessary. One by one, dread diseases are being conquered. Inten years the tuberculosis death rate has been re- duced more than one-half. Five years ago the diphtheria death rate alone was higher than that today for diphtheria, scarlet fever, measles and whooping cough combined. ing by made her gasp and shield !wr head and face with her arm “You must h ave been ¢ dryad in Yo if ‘one of » lighted on y “I should d “Bu of her oddities was the| his attention from her foolishness, “I love this place. not going exhibitic to keep up this Christian of outward f Wosls—bat wh s ‘little fluffly owls' and it at all I could stay here for- | Amelia Rive omorrow.) Send for a Life Table ‘ Have you ever seen the figures shown in Life Tables that tell the average life expectations for each age? While these tables may not apply to you individ- ually, they do apply to the composite you—you and all the other tens of thou- sands at your age.
