In addition to the ordinary forms of Life Insurance.
THE EQUITABLE
makes a specialty of the following:
Insurance to protect business firms and corporations, under a corpo
rate form of policy.
Group Insurance, by which employers protect families of em
ployees.
A flexible contract, known as the Convertible Policy, which can be
converted by the Insured into an Ordinary Life. Limited Payment Life,
or Endowment Policy.
A Bond issued without medical examination giving the investor an
income for his declining years.
A new policy is offered under which the insurance is DOUBLED, if
death results from ACCIDENT. This policy also embodies the follow
ing advantages, if the person whose life is insured becomes totally
and permanently disabled.
1 Thereafter the Equitable will carry the insurance—The Insured
will have nothing further to pay.
2. The Equitable will pay the Insured an annual income for life
equal to one-tenth of the face of the policy.
3. Upon the death of the Insured the full amount of the insurance
will be paid to the Beneficiary (or double the amount if death is due to
accident) without deduction on account of the income paid to the Insur , |
ed while living. (See the policy for conditions and details.) I
If you are contemplating taking life insurance, it will be to your
interest to see what the EQUITABLE LIFE has to offer before taking
your insurance.

Home-Reading Course
For Citizen-Soldiers
This course of thirty daily lesson-, is offered to the men selected for
service in the national Army as a pra Heal help in getting started in the
right way. It is informal in tone and does not attempt to give binding
rules and directions. These are cont lined in the various manuals and reg
ulations of the United States Army to which tills course is ineftdy in
troductory.
LESSON NO. 2.
(Preceding Lesson: 1. Your Post of |
Honor.)
The National Army, in which you I
are to take your place, truly expresses!
the American character and ideals. If |
is the great democratic army. It in- j
eludes men of all degress of wealth and;
education, chosen through fair and;
open selection by lot. All are brought |
together on tjerms of equality. There.
has been and there will be in this great I
National Army no favoritism and no I
| “pull.” The poor man will drill side j
by side with the man who has been ■
.raised in luxury. Each will learn from :
the other. The place each man makes I
for himself will be determined by hi*
own work and ability.
Developing Soldierly Qualities
The question as to whether it is bet -,
ter to join the colors now or with a 1
later contingent is not worth arguing,;
since the decision has been made for ■
each man by lot. An ambitious man, i
however, will be glad to join now. It !
gives him a better chance for promo- j
tion. The commissioned officers of the |
first contingent are picked men who j
have voluntarily gone through the;
hardest kind of training. The officers !
of later contingents will be drawn
largely from the men enlisted in the
first contingents. There is plenty of
opportunity here for every man to use
his brains and his energy and to earn
promotion according to his worth. This i
does not mean easy or quick advance )
ment. It means only that you will ,
have your fair chance —and you would |
ask for nothing more—to develop your- ]
self and to climb upward step by
step.
In order to make good in the Na
tional Army you must, first of all, fit I
yourself to carry with credit the simple '
title of "American Citizen-Soldier”—l
one of the proudest titles in the world.;
This means that you must develop in ■
yourself the qualities of a soldier. The i
more quickly and thoroughly you cul-|
tivate them, the greater will be be your ,
satisfaction and success.
There is very little real difference
of opinion as to soldierly qualities.
They have been determined by ages of
experience. Weapons change, but the
soldiers who handle the weapons re
main much the same.
Three Basic Qualities.
There are three basic qualities,
without which no man can be a real
(soldier even though he may tempo
rarily wear uniform. They are:
Loyalty,
Obedience,
Physical Fitness.
A man without these qualities is in
the way and is a source of weakness
to an army, both in the camp and on '
the field of battle.
The Articles of War of the I pite 1
States set forth the military crime t:
which are punishable by heavy panal- I
ties. Among these crimes are deser |
tion, cowardice, insubordination, drum -
kenness while on duty, sleeping while'
on duty as a sentinel, disclosing the I
watchword, and giving aid or comfort,
to the enemy. Hun over this list and ,
you will see that every one of these .
I military crimes can result only from,
' the absence of one or more of the three '
j basic qualities of a soldier.
Loyalty.
A soldier’s loyalty governs, first of I
all’his feelings and actions toward his)
country, his government and his flag-
There can be nc such thing as half
way loyalty. The slightest compromise
I opens the door to treason.
But a f icier's loyalty does not stop
here. It governs also his feelingsand
I actions toward the army and toward
I all the officers under whom he serves,
jit absolutely forbids disobedience
(among both officers and enlisted men.
or Disrespect for those in authority.
Going a step farther, loyalty gov
erns also the (soldier's feelings and
(actions toward his own regiment, his
iown company and his own squad.
| Without this form of loyalty there can
be no real comradeship; without it
(you will never feel that personal pride
'and satisfaction in the service whica
(should mean so much in your army
I life.
Obedience.
The second of the soldier’s basic
(qualities is obedience, based on dis
cipline. Without obedience and dis
cipline an army can not long continue
tn exist; it will quickly degenerate in
to an armed mob. As the Infantr
Drill Regulations put it, discipline is
| "the distinguishing mark of trained
i troops.”
1 Frequently the recruit, with his in
born dislike of being bossed, makes the
mistake during his first few weeks in
the army of resenting the fact that ini
THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER.
mediate and unquestioning obedience
is required of him. He quickly learns,
however, that obedience enforced
■ throughout the army is in all situa ‘
I tions the chief safeguard of the rights, !
i the comfort and the safety of every (
i man, from the raw recruit to the com I
jmanding general. It is a guarantee,
that the small number of unruly or (
icowardly men to be found in every .
: group shall be kept in check and forced .
it> comply with rules made for the
i benefit of all.
I Military discipline is always imper-'
[sonal. Obedience is required not j
i merely of you, but of every man in the
I army. It is required of officers by.
their superiors, with fully as much
strictness as it is required of you. It'
will become your duty, whenever you ■
are given authority over other men to :
| demand from them the same full meas- j
| ure of obedience that others will re
| quire of you.
Discipline is not only essential in de- (
I veloping the army, but also in develop |
j ir.g your own character as a soldier.'
j-‘Tbe soldier who is by nature brave, I
i will by discipline become braver.”
Physical Fitness.
j The third basic quality, physical fit-.
I ness, is so essential that a large part'
o? the time devoted to your training
will be spent in building it up. Physical
filness incltides not only muscular de- j
velopment, but good health and en-I
durance as well. It is a quality which
I every man who passes the physical ex -'
I aminations can develop in himself by
! reasonable care and by obedience to in-
I structions. This is a subject more
I fully discussed in a later lesson.

LAST I IIAPTER IN INNES
MURDER CASE IS WRITTEN
Atlanta, Ga., August 25. —The last
chapter in the strange disappearance
of the famous Nelins sisters of Atlanta,
■whose case created a nation-wide sen
sation a few years ago, when Ida May
; Innes, wife of Victor Efl Innes, went
' from Atlanta to the Georgia state
, ! prison farm at Milledgeville, where she
j arrived yesterday to begin serving a
I. three-year sentence on the charge of
1 larceny after trust.
I Her husband, the celebrated Port-
I land, Oregon, lawyer who seemed to
, ■' exert a sort of hypnotic influence over
■■women, is now serving a sentence of
1 seven years on the Fulton county con
.Viet gang on the same charge, he and
I !
( j his wife having been tried separately.
. i When Lois and Beatrice Nelms went
-11 j San Antonio three years ago, they
(dropped out of sight as completely as
'.if the earth had opened and swallow-
ied them. Innes and his wife were
j tried in San Antonio on a charge of
i murder, being accused of killing the
’ girls in their cottage and disposing of
’ . the bodies by mutilation and acid.
L , They came clear because the prosecu
j tion could not produce the bodies or
. ■ any trace of them.
-1 Innes and his wife were brought
1 back to Atlanta and tried in the Ful
’. ton superipr court on a charge of lar-
I
; ceny after trust for their successful
1 machinations in separating Lois Nelms
from her money and property. Fol
lowing the conviction of Innis, he ap
pealed his case and the supreme court
-1 turned him down. Mrs. Innes was
5 1 then tried and convicted. The begin
j ■ ning of her sentence was deloyed more
: than a year pending an examination
i into her physical condition, it being
a! claimed that she had tuoercalosis.
