y Why is it that National Ser-
vice Life Insurance premiums are
so low, yet there are no restric-
tions as to occupation, travel or
residence ?
A. Premiums are kept at a mini,
mum because all operating ex
penses and all excess costs result-
ing from death or total disability
traceable to the extra hazard ol
the military or naval service are
borne by the government and paid
from separate appropriations.

A Through Aug. 1, 1917 the
requirements to reinstate a term

instatement at any Veterans Ad
ministration office.
Q. What is the due date of m?
premium on my National Service
Lif< Ii nance policy?
\ The date on which a pre
•ilium is due is the same date in
the month as that on which the
insurance originally was made
effective. This date is on the in
surutiee certificate.
(J My National Service Lift:
P urance premiums have been
"aived due to a total disability.
( an I convert my term insurance
to a permanent plan and still
have my premiums waived?
A. You have the privilege of
converting to ordinary life, 20-
| ayment life, or 30-payment life
•'i.'.i the waiver of premiums will
remain in effect as long as you
are totally disabled.
Q. Is there a time limit for
filing for a waiver of premiums
on NSLI by the insured, and how
far back may a waiver be grant-
ed?
A. Application for waiver of
premium should be made by the
if; ured immediately after he has
been totally disabled for six
months. Ordinarily, his waiver
will not be made effective for
more than one year prior to date
of his application. However, the
Administrator of Veterans Affairs
may make the waiver effective in
excess of one year where he de-
termines that the insured's fail-
ure to make timely application was
due to circumstances beyond his
control.

A drowning person does NOT rise three times before finally
sinking! (The general belief that a drowning person must rise
three times before he finally sinks is a fallacy. The number of
times which he rises varies with the degree of consciousness and
other factors.—The Encyclopedia Britat.nica, 14th Edition, 1937,
Vol. 7, p. 073.)
