If You Have
No Insurance,

And think you should have, we would be
pleased to explain the Mutual Reserve
System to you. The Mutual Reserve is
the largest and strongest natural premi-
um company in the world, and the fourth
largest of ANY KIND. 1t has paid
about $3.50, 900 to the widows and orphans
of deceased policy-holders in South Car
lima alone, during the past twelve years,
and if all the insurance now carried in
old line companies in the state was In the
Mutual Reserve, not less than $4OO, 200,
which now annually goes into the Golfers
of the former, would be left in the state
to help relieve the hard times about which
we hear so much.

FOR TIRED EYEs.-When awaking
in the morning do not rub the eyes ;
indeed, one ought never to rub or press
the fingers against the eyes. If they
feel at all irritated, sponge them with
cold water. Cold water has most
beneficial effect upon the eyes, and
the strongest will find it good to daily
bathe the eyes in cold water. This
invigorates them and helps to keep
them in good working order. But it
must be remembered that quite cold
water should only be used when the
body is at a moderate temperature.
When one is very heated or warm,
the chill must be taken off the water
to avoid any sudden shock.

How TO MAKE CREAM CANDY
Place over the fire vessel containing
two large cupfuls of granulated sugar
and half dozen tablespoonful OF
water. Let the mixture boil until,
when little of the sirup is dropped
into a cup of cold water, it will har-
den. The moment it will do this add
two teaspoonfuls of vanilla and
small teaspoonful of cream of tartar.
Then turned into buttered dish, and
when cool enough to handle with the
hands pull it until it is white, cut into
short lengths and set away to get cold.

If You Will Lay Aside
Your Prejudice

AND COME to us with a desire to
learn why it is not to your interest to
carry high priced insurance, and how we
can furnish you just as safe insurance
for at least 40 per cent. a year less than the
other costs, we are sure we can show you
to your satisfaction that the MUTUAL
RESERVE FUND LIFE ASSOCIA-
TION of New York does business OH a
plan that is absolutely safe, and will pro-
tect your loved ones even better than
they now are, at even a greater cost to
to you. Of course if you are too preju-
diced to investigate and imagine that the
high price you are now paying makes
your insurance better or safer, or better
than it would be at less cost, we can't do
anything for you but will be. forced to
let you 60 on until time, the crucial
tester, convinces you, against your will,
that you have been deceived.

TO KILL MELON BUGs.-If road
dust or dry earth of any kind is
strongly impregnated with kerosene
and sprinkled freely on squash and

them. A man who tried it says: 81

plants with the oil. But time proved
that fear groundless. I used it by
handfuls on the leaves and around the

CARRYING OUT HIS ORDERS
Hugh Mcclure, a son of the Emerald
Isle, who had volunteered in the Tenth
Mississippi regiment of infantry, sta
toned at Pensacola, Fla, in 1861, was
placed on picket one night on the
beach with orders to walk between
two points, and to allow no one to pass
without the countersign and that to
be given in a whisper. About mid
night the corporal with the relief dis
covered, by the moonlight, Hugh up
to his waist in water, the tide having
set in since he was posted two hours
before.
"Who goes there?"
"Relief."
"Halt, relief; advance corporal, and
give the countersign.
Corporal-I am not going in there
to be drowned. Come out here and
let me relieve you.
Hugh-Not bit I will. The lif-
tenant towld me not to leave me post"
Corporal-Well, then, I'll leave you
in the water all night, going away as
he spoke.
Hugh-Halt, I'll put hole in we il
We pass without the countersign.
Them's me orders from the liftenant,
cooking and leveling his gun.
Corporal-Deuce take you, every
body will hear if I bawl it out to you.
Hugh-Yes, me darlint, and the
liftenant said it must be given in a
whisper; in wild ye. Me fingers on
the trigger and it may 60 off.
The corporal had to yield and wade
in to the faithful sentinel, who ex.

To CLEAN WHITE STRAW HATS
Make paste of pounded sulphur and
cold water, wet the hat or bonnet, and
cover it with the paste until you do
not see the straw rub hard, hang the
hat up to dry when dry, brush the
sulphur off with brush till the straw
gets beautifully white. This method
is easier than the sulphur bleaching
box, and can be done very quickly.

ndT A practical horseman of 25 years
experience with trotters, roadsters and
draft-horses say: every roadster or
draft-horse that works hard should
have a mash at night. The last part
of the day is, of course, the hardest,
and when the horse comes in every
part of his body needs rest. The mash
is just as nutritious as hard grain, and
much more easily digested."
