A Great Company.

On the first page of the REGISTER
will he found the sixty.first annual
statement. in condensed form, OF Inc
Mutual Life Insurance Company OF Ne"
York, the oldest, largest, and most pro-
pressive life insurance company In the
United States company whlch mas
paid to its policy holders since It's or
gauization the vast sum OF over Sozo'-
OOO. 600. and holds il trust for the future
protection of its policy holders the
enormous sum of over SlOO,OOO,OOO,
which represents its assets. Ihls sum
is more than double the amount OF the
combined capital Of the Banks OF Eu-
Gland. France, Germany and Russia
The company has grown from nothing
until il now stands as the greatest mn
ancial institution in the world, ana
hold, a recpr tha' cannot be equaltd
by apy other institution OF Its KIND. III
has averaged larger dividend payments,
i, has paid much larger sums r It's
surrendered policies and made larger
returns on policies that have matured.
IL has treated its policy holders honor
ably, equitahly, justly and with great
liberalIty under contracts com olheu
with all the best features OF the bus
ness consistent with its safe conduct
The Mutual Life has only the same ad-
vantages possessed by other large fnan-
clal institutions Of its kind, but not
withstanding the excellent management
of the Mutual Life it has produced re-
suits far more pleasing IL its policy
holders. There is no reason why The
Mutual Life will not do by its policy
holders relatively as well in the future
as it has in the past. Certainly no com
pany at present possesses superior Ia
cilities. and no company has invested
the funds of its policy holders so great
" to their advantage. Its membership
grows daily with the increase Of public
confidence in its stability. 1t has issued
policies from the amount of $1,000 to
81 600 900 and it has issued three for
81 600. 900 each lis policy contracts
are clear. contain no ambiguous phrases
and are free from all technicalltles, any
person with an ordinary mind can un-
derstand them. Mr.. Clarence Hershey,
one of the company's representatives,
who is now staying in Shepherdstown,
will gladly show and thoroughly explain
the policy contracts TO any person de-
string to know them.

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For great many years doctors pro-
nounced it a local disease and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by constant
ly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh. t. be constitutional

PROFIT

The matter of feed is of
tremendous Importance to the
farmer. Wrong feeding is
loss. Right feeding is profit.
The up-to-date farmer knows
what to feed his COWS to get
the most milk, his pigs to get
the most pork, his hens to
get the most eggs. Science.
But how about the children?
Are they fed according to
science, a bone food if bones
are soft and undeveloped, a
flesh and muscle food if they
are thin and weak and a blood
food if there is anemia?
SCOTS Emulsion is a mixed
food; the Cod Liver Oil in it
makes flesh, blood and muscle,
the Lime and Soda make bone
and brain. 1t is the standard
scientific food for delicate
children.
