joyable affair The friends of the association,

airy 20. Since its organization this society has

Fit Representative of the City of Homes.
Philadelphia is chief among the cities of
the United States in respect of its homes
that is to say, in the proportion of it's home
owning people. In that city there are, rel
atively to the entire population, fewer per-
sons who are mere tenants and more who are
their own landlords than in any considerable
city in the world: How this comes to be it
is not germane to our present purpose to in
quire or suggest but the fact is so, and be-
tween the fact and the existence and steady
growth for over thirty four years of the Penn
Mutual Life Insurance company, there is
close relation. The company was born away
back in 1s47 among home loving folks and of
the home loving instinct, and was designed
to further the general home-protecting pur-
pose. Its career has been worthy of the
place of it's origin, and its work for a genera
ton has exhibited constant fidelity to the
purpose of it's creation. Its management has
always been economical, as distinguished
from parsimonious, the idea being to obtain
desirable results for it's policy holders at rea-
sonabIe expenditure of their money-for the
Penn's managers have realized that they
were simply administrators of a trust, mot the
owners of the funds coming into and passing
through their hands. so they have gone
slow when the temptation was to be rapid,
and been prudent among surroundings in
viting to recklessness Early they recognized
the equity of the non-forfeiture principle,
and anticipated the slow movement of the
lawmakers by embodying it as one OF the
company's rules So they are entitled to the
credit of having done by choice what some
others have only yielded on compulsion. 1t
is only from 1868 that the official figures of
the PENIS progress are presented in the in
surance department reports of the State of
New York, the company having in that yearon
it's application been admitted to do business
here. From those reports we make up the
following table, which tells story of regular
healthful growth in all the elements of
strong enduring life insurance corporation, the
like whereof may not easily be found in any
au thentic record of the business in this coun-
try

The fourteen years thus covered embrace
five which may fairly be called years of life
insurance decadence, and which were marked
by many company failures and by general
suspension as well as a partial destruction of
public confidence in the system. We allude
to the period from 1873 to 1877, both inclu-
sive. Let it be noted that through this weary
term of doubt and disaster-of cloud all the
while and storm, the most of 1.-THE Penn
kept right along adding to it's assets, aug
menting it's surplus and increasing the num-
bers of it's policies in force. 1t is the last
item which is most significant. During those
five years of panic the faith of the people in
the Penn remained steadfast and every sue
oessive twelvemonth brought a considerable
net accession to its membership, so that at
the close of 1877 it had 1888 more policy
holders than it had at the beginning of 1873.
The Penn is conducted on the sound plan

The best medical practitioners freely ad-
nit the impotency of drugs when arrayed
against the formidable complications that re-
suit from nervous prostration and which
arises from want of proper food in requi-
site quantity to feed the nervous tissue
Those exposed to the intense mental strain
of business activity, together with those en-
gagged in intellectual pursuits, constitute class
that are not properly fed, in the average case
the brain being required to do the greater
part of their work. The nervous tissue not
being supplied with proper nourishment to
supply it's waste resulting from vital activity,
the whole physical system becomes necessa-
rily deranged and enfeebled. This particu-
lar disease is usually functional in charac-
ter, and hence durable by supplying the de-
fciency with concentrated semi digested brain
and nerve foods Of this class of foods The
Blanchard concentrated semi-digested foods
