A SUGGESTION.

If THE BANK in tins village not only
guaranteed you good interest for your
money, but offered to pay your next of
kin large sum in cash at your death
as sort of inducement for you to do
business with it-what would be the re-
suit?
Naturally depositors would flock there
in great numbers, anxious to avail them
selves of such a liberal offer.
The MUTUAL LIFE Insurance Com
pany of New York follows this method
exactly. Every Policy Holder is practi-
cally depositor in Bank which is the
safest in the world. Every payment
carries good interest, and in twenty
years the net premiums are more than
doubled by accumulated interest.
Meantime, should you die at any time
after making your first payment, your
next of kin is entitled to the full amount
of your insurance.
LIFE INSURANCE today is nothing
more or less than a straight problem in
mathematics, and the proof of the eX-
amples given from time to time, is what
the Mutual Life Insurance Company is
able to demonstrate beyond possible
doubt to any person seeking TO avail
themselves of its benefits.

A SPRING STORY.
FEW THINGS YOU OUGHT
SURELY TO DO Ar THIS
SEASON.

In the spring we feel tired, languid
and debilltated. The change from cold
to warm weather causes depression of
the vital forces resulting in AN inactive
state of the stomach, liver. bowels and
Kidneys. Headache is common, and the
blood undergOes changes which greatly
debiltate the system.
The complexion is apt to he sallOw,
and dark circles gather under the eyes.
If something is not done to overcome
these conditions they will last indie fin
itely and may result in severe sickness.

How CONSUMPTION is SPREAD.

The New York State board of health
has just is, ued an important circular of
information for prevention of tubercu-
lOss. The Vermont board did so several
years ago, but the Empire State goes
further, and announces that hereafter
local health officers will register name,
address, aye and sex of every person
suffering from tuberculosis (consump-
tom, within their respective jurisdc-
lions, and that active measures will be
taken to prevent the spread of this
disease, which is beyond question in-
fictitious. The most important point N
the circular and one to which great
emphasis is given, is that this disease is
communicated through deadly germs,
coughed up by the patient, and that in
all cases this matter should be at once
destroyed. a strict adherence 10 this
simple rule would undoubtedly save the
lives of thousands upon thousands of
people every year, especially in cases
where it has ragged through what are
known as "consumptive families mem

INTELLIGENCE AND FARM PROFITS.

A writer in the Farm journal states
that, according to the latest statistics,
the yield per acre among the farmers of
the United States follows In the ratio of
Intelligence or illteracy; that is to say,
those farmers who take pains to post
themselves and know what science and
the Intelligent practice of other farmers
are doing for their business secure the
largest yield per acre. 1t follows then
AS day follows night, that they the
largest profit for their labor, besides
keeping up the yielding power of their
land.
The same law applies to the yield per
cow Those farmers who strive to be
intelligent, who provide themselves with
sound knowledge, who spend a little
time and money to know what other in-
telligent men are doing with their cows
ana how they do it, such farmers get
the largest yield per COW and the
lal gest profit per COW. An intelligent
man will not keep a poor COW. If he

Improbable cows in the herd. And
so it will go down through the whole
g umut of the business. 1t is really too
/ bad to see thousands of dairy farmers all
over the land grooming under the infection
of poor cows, poor prices and poor re-
suits; working like slaves from morning
till night to make both ends meet,
sclimping themselves, their wives and
their children, getting morose and dis
contented with the world and yet think
ing all the time that they cannot afforC
