EXPENSES.
With fifteen OF the largest, oldest

ratio of all expense, including death
losses, to income was 1902, while the
OAKS ratio is but 26,93, and for a

ITS MANAGEMENT.
The same that has guided it in the
past, actuated by true principle and
a thorough knowledge Of the bust
ness, is liberal and strictly just. As
ample evidence, witness the fact that
in its twenty years of continuous
prosperity, there has been no blemish
on its record and no litigation.
A WESTERN INSTITUTION.
It is more emphatically a Western
Institution than any local company,
from the fact that large amounts are
loaned in Cincinnati, Chicago. St.
Louis and Milwaukee. In Circin-
natl alone it has loane'l during the
past two years upwards of ONE
MILLION OF DOLLARS, which
fact alone gives it Il just claim upon
the people of the West that few il
any other companies possess.
PROMINENT FEATURES aoF THE
OAK.
Annual dividends, originated by
this company in 1868.
1t accommodates its patrons with a
loan of 40 per cent. of the premiums,
and as its dividends average on all
life plans 40 per cent. annually, the
loan is cancelled by them
Dividends on full amount of pre-
imumpaid.

No unreasonable restrictions upon

the Doctor has just introduced a new ar

These Bilters are destined to become very
popular, from the fact that they are genuine
in every sense of the term-that is, they
derive tl.cir stimulus from the powerful
tonic nature of the roots and herbs of which
they are composed, and hence their effect is
natural. We hive had the pleasure of tes:-d
ing the qualifications of these Bitters, and
