Methodist church was burdened with
a heavy debt and that the members
were then making an effort to raise
money to pay off the debt and improve
their church property. Mr.. Heaths
sympathies were evidently touched by
this intelligence, for few days later
the congregation received from him
voluntary offer of $500 to be used for
church work. This Offer, however,
was based upon the condition that the
congregation raise the sum of $500 to
be used in like manner. The Metho-
dists were much enthused by Mr..
Heath's offer and at once set about to
raise the required $500. Of this
amount about $3.50 was subscribed dur
ing the last week and it is expected
that the remainder will be in hand by
the end of the present week.

WHAT CAN'T BE CURED-.-
CAN'T BE INSURED.

A man never knows how badly he
wants Life Insurance until he has been
rejected once or twice. You may be in
physical condition today that will en-
able you to pass successful eXami-
nation and get any kind Of policy you
may apply for, whereas in less than six
months you may be in such condition
that no respectable, honorable physi-
clan would examine you for life inSur-
ance, much less pass or recommend you
as Il desirable risk. During my four
teen years experience in the life in
Surance business / have personally
face to face) urged number of men
who were apparently good risks to ap-
ply for insurance, but who said mot
now. but at some other time think l
will take out some insurance" and have
in several instances written their ap-
plications later on and had them re-
jected. 1t is no trouble to induce the
man who has been once rejected by a
respectable company to sign an appli-
cation. If you are in good health.
NOW, TODAY. is the time to see me
and learn why the Mutual Benefit Life
Insurance Company is the BEST COM
panv and issues the BEST policy.

Dear Sir: Devoe is worth Sd or IS
gallon, put-on; how much Is another
paint worth?
Depends on how many gallons you've
got to put-on, to be equal to one OF
Devoe.
Mr. Hall, Sheffield, Pa, painted
two houses one coat, five years ago,
lead and OIL took 40 gallons.
Last summer bought 40 gallons De-
voc for same house; had 10 gallons
left.
Mr. N Avery. Delhi, N Y, owns two
houses exactly alike; painted one with
Devoe: took 6 gallons. The other with
some other; took IL gallons.
What'd you give for those off paints?
Bear in mind, you've got to pay for
the painting. Yours truly
