The Growth of the Prudential.

The prosperity and progress of the great insurance organizations such as the Pru- dential. to whose care is committed such a large share of the nations savings, is a matter of financial interest to many millions of the people As this company alone has nearly 6000.000 policies in force, covering life insurance exceeding one bil- lion dollars, it can be seen how the tide of public confidence has flowed in in- creasing volume towards this institution.
 The annual statement of the company, just published. brings out some interest ing facts. 1t shows that the life insur- ance issued and paid for during the year 1904 exceeded sSl2,010oCo, being the largest in the history of the company s13,OO0.OOO was paid tu it's policy holders, bringing the total since organization to an amount exceeding S92 0000.
 It is certainly impossible to estimate the amount of good which the distribution of this vast sum of money has accomplished for the American people who have been its recipients.
 The company has at different times made changes and concessions in its policies, which resulted in giving addi- tional benefits to those insured. Wher- ever practicable these concessions are made retroactive; and up to the present time the company has distributed, in cash dividends and other concessions, not stipulated in original contracts and vol untarily given to holders of old policies, over five million dollars.
 The financial side of the statement shows equal progress The assets of The Prudential were increased by $16. 6.O00. .000 and the analysis of these assets, as given in the statement, shows them to be of the highest possible character. It is shown, for instance, that the bonds and stocks owned by the company have in- creased in value since their purchase by over $l 10000 and tha ample security Is afforded by properties and collateral se- curities upon which the loans of the company have been mace. The total as- sets of The Prudential now exceed over $SS, ,000, 900; the liabilities are S75,0O0,o0O leaving a surplus of slo,000000.
 The company will furnish any informa- ton concerning its policies to those who write to the Home office, Newark, N. J.

DR. ]. II. PHILLIPS
 DELIVERS LECTURE
ADDRESSES KNIGHTS OF coLUM- BUS ON MODERN CHlVALRY. LARGE AUDIENCE WAS DE- LIGHTFULLY ENTERTAINED.

Modern Chivalry' was the title of the lecture delivered last night by Dr. J. H. Phillips, superintendent of the city schools, before a large number of Knights of Columbus. their ladies and friends gathered together in their hall at Twen- teth street and Third avenue.
 By a programme plentiful in vocal and Instrumental music those present were delightfully."- entertained, the climax of their satisfaction coming with Dr. Phil lips lecture. The speaker began with a reference to the ehivalry of mediaeval days pointing out what was it's sig nhcance, and how helpful 1t was in safeguarding civilization from the enemies that assailed 1t. Through It the torch of enlightenment had been passed on to the hands of later generations. It was an ennobling spirit, but confined, by the very nature of things in mediaeval times, to a much narrower latitude than it now enjoys Then 1t animated only individuals. Now 1t anmates whole communities. be- ing in truth one of the adorning Chris tian virtues, the little leaven that Is leavening the whole lump in the social order of today. "
 The age of chivalry Is not, as Burke said 1t was q one hundred years ago. gone The conventions of the old order had passed away with the death of many other perishable features of the mediaeval regime. True chivalry, wisely adapted to modern conditions and modern needs, was felt more emphatically nowadays than ever before. The need for it was greater the opportunity for It's play was larger and it would continue to lift men and women the round world over to wider and wiser humanity.
 At the close of the lecture members of the order of Knights of Columbus thronged around pr. Phillips to thank him for the joy his address had given them
 The Knights of Columbus are preparing to initiate a large class of candidates next Sunday afternoon The members of the order and the candidates will at tend in body high mass at St. Paul's church Sunday morning. Capt. Frank P o Brien is grand knight of the local branch, styled Birmingham Council No 625

ANTITRUST LAW UPHELD.
Supreme Court Hands Dow.' opinicn
 In Kansas Case

Washington, February 2O.-The validity of the Kansas antitrust law was today upheld by the supreme court of the Uni ted States in an opinion by Justice Brewer in the case of Edmund J, Smiley, plaintiff in error, vs. the state of Kansas.
 Smiley in 1900 was secretary of the State Grain Dealers association, and the allegation in the case was that he or ganized the wheat dealers in the town of Bison. Rush county, into trust to con- trol the price of wheat at that place. The supreme court of the state sus- tained the prosecution against him and Justice Brewers opinion upholds that verdict. He based his decision on the ground that the law was in harmony with the power of the state to control it's own police affairs, and therefore not antag- onistlc to the federation constitution.

 The dollar bottle is free. Your Druggist, on my order, will hand you a full dol lars worth and send me the bill.
 Why do work and worry and excess and strain and over-indulgenee break down constitutions and make men and women worn out and run down and rest less and sleepless and discouraged and morose? Because they weaken the tiny, tender nerves on which life itself depends.
 Not the nerves you ordinarily think about-not the nerves that govern your movements and your thoughts.
 But the automatic nerves that, unguid- ed and unknown, night and day, keep your heart in motion-control the diges- tive apparatus-regulate your liver-op- crate your kidneys.
 These are the nerves that worry wears out and work breaks down.
 It does no good to treat the ailing or gan-the irregular heart-the disordered liver-the rebellious stomach-the de- ranged kidneys. They are not to blame. But go back to the nerves that control them. There you will find the seat of the trouble.
 It does no good to take stimulants and narcotics, for theirs, at best, is but temporary effect which merely postpones the final day of reckoning.
 There is nothing new about this-noth- ing any physician would dispute. But remained for Dr. Shoop to apply this knowledge-to put it to practical use. Dr. Shoop's Restorative is the result of a quarter century of endeavor along this very line It does not dose the organ to deaden the pain-but it does go at once to the nerve-the inside nerve-the power nerve-and builds up, and strengthens it and makes it well. That is the end of all vital troubles That is the end of sleepless nights and restless days. That is the end of nervousness" the end of brain flag and fatigue.
 If you are worn out, run down and have never tried my remedy, merely write and ask. I will send you an order on your druggist which he will accept as gladly as he would a dollar. He will hand you from his shelves standard sized bot tie of my prescription, and he will send the bill to me. This offer Is made only to strangers to my remedy. Those who have once used the Restorative do not need this evidence. There are no eondtions-no requirements. It Is open and frank and fair. It is the supreme test of my limtless belief. All that I ask you to do is to write-write today.
