Illinois Life Will Keep Head

Kansas department of the Illinois
Lille insurance company Will be eStab-
hshed to attend to the SO, 900, 900 insur
ance business which the Illinois COM
pany secured Wednesday night. The
headquarters will be, in Topeka, and the
Illinois Life has renewed the lease
which the Kansas Mutual Life held on
the building at Seventh and Jackson
Some Kansas insurance man will be
appointed a. general agent for Kansas,

There are understood to be three active
candidates for this position, but the Off
GERS of the company say that no choice
has yet been made. For the present.
Oswald ]. Arnold, secretary of the COM
pany. viii be in charge of the office
here.
The Illinois Life is renewing connec-
ton with all the agency force of the
Kansas Mutual Every agent of the
Kansas Mutual is being given an oppor-
tunity to go to work for the Illinois Life
under the old terms. A great many of
the old agents have been entering into
such contracts today with President
stevens of the company, who is still in
Topeka.
The trustees are still in charge of the
Kansas Mutual, as the contract of re-
insurance has not been signed Judge
Hook viii probably come to Topeka Fri
day to attend to this. If he does not,
the officers of the Illinois Life will meet
President James w. Stevens of the II
hnois Life said this afternoon:
The officers of the Illinois Life Insur-
ance company expect to remain in the
city for several days. until the details
Of the transfer are arranged with the
officers of the court. The Illinois Life
expects to maintain its permanent Office
for this state in the old quarters of the
Kansas Mutual. The company will make
a vigorous campaign for new business,
and hopes to make this office a more
important one as a branch office than
it was as the home office of the Kansas
Mutual. The company will pursue the
policy of investing largely of its assets
in farm mortgages in Kansas.
The Illinois Life has for a long time
had in contemplation the investment of
its funds in Kansas farm mortgages,
and the reinsurance Of the Kansas AIu-
tual opens up a splendid field in this
direction.
We consider that the business which
the Kansas Mutual carried is of the
highest class. The policy holders are
intelligent men who were able to think
for themselves about this reinsurance.
The assets of the company are simply
Al. We expect to make a strong effort
to bring back into line all of the old
policy holders of the Kansas Mutual
who have lapsed during the past few
months of uncertainty. 1 do not think
that the company Will lose any of the
Kansas Mutual business. We expect to
largely develop our business in this

draining such large area OIL territory,
coming from the north south and west

several Of these streams should be swell

And White Bread.

Most millers are bitter enemies of
Grape-Nuts for business reasons. for
Grape-Nuts food is largely replacing
white bread for Grape-Nuts contains
the whole of the health-giving grains

use today is made with the most health

A miller of Newark Ohio. who has
studied the subject, says of Grape Nuts:
I began by using the food once a day.
then twice a day and for the last six
months three times a day and 1 con-
f1dently affirm that I have received
more real substantial benefit from the
use Of Grape-Nurs than from all the
other things I have tried. Ny trouble
was Indigestion and kidney disease.
I began to receive relief at once and
as am a practical millwright and mil
Ter as well ] can see and understand
the philosophy of such a nutriment as
Grape-Nuts and why its use gives US
such good results. The continued use
of patent flour bread viii produce in
jury sooner OF later because the true
DEMONSTRATING and life-giving elements
of the wheat berry are eliminated in
the manufacture of patent flour
My unaslxed-fOr advice to al IS to
use daily a nutriment like Grape-N Nuts
that retains all the vitality of the grain.
For this very reason there is more direct
virtue in the daily use of Grape Nuts
than in all the medicinal tonics in the
world that crowd to Overlooking the
shelves Of drug stores
The restaurant where I take my
meals keeps Grape-Nuts on hand to a.
