Catarrh Poisons.

Catarrh Poisons.
Catarrh is capable of changing all the
life-giving secretions of the body into
scalding fluids, which destroy and in
fame every part they come in contact
with. Applications to the places
affected by catarrh can do little good
save to soothe or quiet disagreeable
symptoms. Hence it is that gargles,
serve as temporary relief. So long as
the irritating secretions of catarrh Con-
tinue to be formed SC long will the
membranes continue to be infia ned,
no matter what treatment is used.
There is but one remedy that has
the desirable effect, and that remedy is

John Spratt will eat no fat,

Foodine she cannot eat.
Her special wish is for a dish
Of Expurgated Wheat.
To William Spratt that food is fiat
On which his mater dotes.
His favorite feed-his special need
Is Eata Heapa Oats.
But sister Lii can't see how Will

Since the publication last week Of the
annual report Of President Robson to the
stockholders OF the Bankers Reserve Life
association the management OF this popu-
lar young life insurance company has been
in constant receipt Of words Of congratu-
lations
Compared with the experience of the
leading eastern companies. the great
growth Of Nebraska's fayorite life associ-
alton is phenomenal.
Al the End of Its Fourth Year
the Bankers Reserve has more outstand-
ing Insurance than the Northwestern Mu-
tual of Wisconsin reported when 1t closed
its sixth annual report, and within S24 900
of the aggregate Of the National Life OF
Vermont after sixteen years of energetic
effort.
The premium incomes Of these companies
also fall short by comparison. In other
words the Bankers Reserve. in the face
Of a competition never experienced by any
eastern company. shows at the end Of its
fourth year
A Premium Income of s111,811.72.
This is Ss per cent increase in a single
year, during which year the Bankers Re-
serve wrote s1,766.O00 in new insurance.
The savings from the FIRST years pre-
miums on the business Of last year is more
than sufficient to pay all death losses and
the premiums on s1,777,O 900 OF insurance.
Not only has the expense been remark
ably low, but the conservative policy OF
the company which rejected over 800 900
in risks offered has resulted in
The Lowest Death Rate.
The company had only four death claims
in 1901, aggregating s10.500. Of which sum
$3.50 was paid by reinsurance. leaving the
net expense to the Bankers Reserve at
$4.7b0. These claims were paid Immediately
upon proof Of loss.
The company closed its books December
31st, 1901, without a single unpaid obliga-
tfon and with net cashable assets OF nearly

where a number Of English steam engines
were supplying the power, and then
mounted to the second floor and we're taken
through a number Of large rooms filled
with little white balls covered with a soft,
silky fuzz. Each bali was about as big

Different numbers OF strands are used to
make the different kinds Of silk thread.
Five strands make the fines. thread. The
kind Of thread that we import for the
United States usually contains six. eight
or ten strands.
Before the cocoons are unwound the
threads are loosened by soaking the CO.
coons In hot water. This is done in bowls
in front Of the Keeling machines, the CO.
coons being stirred about with little
brushes Of bamboo by Chinese girls Of
from 8 70 10 years of age. When the
threads become loosened they can easily
be picked up.
