WOMEN AS LIFE INSURANCE
 AGENTS,

THERE are but few, branches of
 business that the modern woman
 l has not taken up within the last
 score of years.
 They have proven to the world that they can and do work as well, and In many cases better than the lords or creation. Just now they are invading the life insurance field and their advent has brought about some big changes in that line of business. It has led to two things, first, the bars prohibiting women from insuring at the regular rates have been let down, and the biggest com panies in the East have established a women's department, presided over by a woman superintendent, who Judges all applications made by the women agents. Some years ago life insurance companies would not accept "oIlieh as risks" at all
 Mir Shields, the manager ofthe Eqult- able Life, says that women are far bet ter risks than men. Il cannot under stand" said he, why the silly law was not altered long ago. While women are fully as courageous and ambitious as men. they are more careful and eau tious. I would rather insure women than men. Our women's department was opened in January last, a. is pre- sided over by Mrs Rose EmmonS. lady whose business qualifications are well known all over the East. She has done a little of every thing in a business line, from running a reaI-estate office with a dozen employees to experimenting mine. This is the first company on the coast to introduce the Eastern innova- tion, and if l have heard correctly other companies will follow or intend shortly to follow our example"
 Mrs Emmons herself is bit sur prising. After hearing of her wonder ful success in business of all kinds you would naturally suppose her large elf-assertive woman, who would look the part of the new woman. But she Is nothing of the sort, for a more womanly woman could not be found in this or any other city. True, she wears her hair cropped short, and manniSh look ing coat and skirt but her wearing ap parel only enhances her womanly face.
 And when she speaks of her children and her invalid husband she is all that wife and mother should be, a great deal more than some are, for when ruin was staring her family In the face she had the courage to go into the world and battle for those loved ones Mrs. Emmons is very enthusiastic about the new field for women. We are not very far behind the men in this work she said You know we are not limited toin- suring women; indeed, some of the best risks on men have been brought into the office by women agents. Yes, we have come to stay in this as well as in many other fields of work. At present I have a dozen women agents under me, but by the end of the year 1 expect to have fully fifty in different parts of the State"

WAS THE IDEAL COMMANDER.

Washington, a great commander, had the genius for getting all that was best out of the men under him, but the work of organizing and disciplining the army at Cambridge was the least of the troubles which confronted him when he faced the situation at Boston. More over, he knew all the difficulties, for he not only saw them, but he was never under delusions as to either pleasant or disagreeable facts One of his greatest qualities was his abso- lute veracity of mind; he always looked a fact of any sort squarely in the face, and this is what he saw when he turned to the task before him-From ''The Story of the Revolution" by Sen ator H. c.

Excessive Use of Salt.

The use of salt as a condiment is so
general and so universally believed in
as necessary that we rarely hear a
word against its excessive use: but
there is multitude of persons who
eat entirely too much salt The
amount of salt required in the system
is comparatively small, and if the diet
has been rightly compounded very lit
tie Is necessary. 1t is now pretty well
settled that an excessive use of salt
does overtax the kidneys, and that
cases of arrangement and disease of
these organs is dne to this use. We
advise our readers and others to look
into this matter, and to try and di-
mlnish the excessive use of this matter
and to try and diminish the excessive
use of this condiment. We belive they
will be better for it. Medical Record.

demand for flour, corn, oats and rye
Last week the actual clearances of
wheat and flour from this country were
5,397, 900 bushels or about half a mil.
lion bushels in excess of that of last
year.
Since July 1, the total shipments are
only 5000, 600 bushels behind last year.
Even France has been buyer, taking
all offerings from st. Louis, Mo-.
Tuesday, at II cents advance, and ask
ing for more.
In addition to this, Northwestern
mills are unable to get wheat enough
to keep up their orders, as the grain is
