REFINED WIDOW will be house

keeper for $5 week; have two well trained children 6 years old; references. Address Box 2346, Detroit News.

POSITION wanted by young widow

with one child; no objections to one or two children. Call between 8:00 and 12:00 mornings and 2:00 to 5:00 in afternoon. Phone Glendale 599.

MOTHER and 8 months old baby want

board and room where baby can be cared for during day; mother employed. Address Box 1457. Detroit News.

"Refined Widows" and "Little Daughters" reads like they once had happy homes.

Some Daddy was not sufficiently farsighted to entrench them against all possible disaster.

When the principal is gone through the loss of your management what then? The want ad.

A "Registered Life Income Trust Bond" of the
Northern Assurance Company, will, in at least a
modest way, act as a final reserve trench for "As
Long as She Shall Live.'

No bars should be left open by you that admit
even of the possibility of your widow having to
rely on the want ads of a Sunday paper to find a
place where she may toil, "As Long as She Shall
Live" to provide for and educate your children.
