The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1897-04-03

The Mutual Life Insurance Company of
New York. whose annual statement appears
in this paper. has just announced insurance
for woman at any age between sixteen and
seventy and on any plan at the same prem
jun rate and on the same free terms us that
heretofore issued to male risks only This is
a new departure, and the Woman's Depart
ment now connected with the Wilmington
General Agency deserves the patronage of
every woman seeking safe and profitable in
vestment, needing provision for advanced
years. or protection for some one dependent
upon her for support. This reduced late
means saving of 800 per 81 900 in twenty
years, which is about twenty per cent. of the
average premium payments. This great COM
pany now declares that from an insurance
point of view woman is equal to man, and
considering the fact that heretofore woman
has been handicapped by an extra premium,
we should think that the field for the fair sex
in the Agency Corps should be even better
than that offered to men. Herbert n. Fell
the General Agent at Wilmington. is count
ing on a large volume of insurance from this
source. and says that he has an opening for
several women, at various points throughout
his territory, possessing energy, tact and a
fair mathematical education. Each agent is
fully instructed in the work before she re-
ceives authority to sell insurance. All com
munications on this subject should be ad-
dressed to "Woman's Department, The
Mutual Life Insurance Company Of New
York, Wilmington, Del.

If the Jewel stove had not
met with popular favor in
Honolulu, we would not
have ordered the second
time. Since we opened
business in our present
quarters, less than fourteen
months ago, we have sold
400 Jewel stoves. By the
w. H. Dimond which arriv-
ed on Thursday, we receiv-
ed 30 of different sizes. 1t
constitutes one car load di-
rect from the factory; another
lot will be here in a week.
This is without exception,
the greatest fuel saver that
has ever been imported to
the Islands. The JEWEL is
made on the best stove prin-
CipleS and saves money to
the purchaser. They are low
in price and made to wear
every piece of the stove may
be duplicated and in this way
it will last forever. 1t is
cheaper to buy a single cast
ing than a whole stove.
We sell them for cash, al
lowing s per cent. discount.
We also sell them, as before,
on the contract system, the
purchaser paying one-third
in cash, the balance in five
equal monthly payments.

Dyspepsia Tablets.
Interesting Experience OF an indianapolis
Gentleman

No trouble is more common or more
misunderstood than nervous dyspep-
STA. People having it think that their
nerves are to blame and are surprised
that they are not cured by nerve medi-
cine and spring remedies; the real seat
of the mischief is lost sight of; the
stomach is the organ to be looked
after.
Nervous dyspeptics often do not have
any pain whatever in the stomach, nor
perhaps any of the usual symptoms Of
stomach weakness. Nervous dyspep-
STA shows itself not in the stomach so
much as in nearly every other organ;
in some cases the heart palpitates and
is irregular; in others the kidneys are
affected; in others the bowels are con-
stipated, with headaches; still others
are troubled with loss of flesh and ap-
petite, with accumulation of gas, sour
risings and heartburn.
Mr.. A. w. Sharper, of No. 81 Pros
pect ST., indianapolis, Ind, writes as
follows: "A motive of pure gratitude
prompts me to write these few lines

cine, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
