holders and paid out to them 5000 600
and that in the same thirty years the
Prudential received in industrial pre-
miums 1000 eco and paid its policyholders
OF that department s92,OooOO0.
Mr. Hughes asked why the proportion
paid back by the Prudential Is so much
less than those of the two others. Mr.
Gore said the rapid growth OF the Pru-
Dental and tho great number OF lapses
explained it. .'
Considering the lapses the witness as
sented to Mr. Hughes statement that there
is great waste by the policyholders
who allow their policies to lapse. The
number OF policyholders in the company at
the end of 1904, Mr.. Gore said, was about
100000 Witness estimated that policy
holders In the industrial department OF
the Prudential paid into the company
s2,S0oOOO in 1904 and allowed their policies
to lapse in the same year
Mr.. Gore said that about 81 per cent
Of the industrial insurance written by his
company in 1904 lapsed in the same year.
Dryden IL Recalled.
Senator John F. Dryden, president OF
the Prudential was recalled and Mr..
Hughes asked him about the apparent
waste of policyholders through lspses.
Senator Dryden said that what his
policyholders saved by insurance they
would save in no other way. Senator Dry
den agreed with Mr.. Hughes that APP
parently about two-thirds of the insured
get nothing back and the senator added
that this IS regrettabe and unfortunate
but, nevertheless, he asserted that the sys-
TEN is the greatest economic force in the
country today.
Mr.. Hughes read letter from an agent
who complained against the regulation OF
the Prudential company which required an
agent to provide another polcyholder with
out a commission when an old one lapses
The senator said the company had been
unable To find another plan that would
protect the policyholder and the company
and still be remunerative to the agent
The senator said he could not maintain
the energy OF the agents by any other
plan and that otherwise In a short time
the company would have no business.
"If agents were not held responsible for
lapses,' the senator said, the additional

The True Meaning of "WOrry

The generic and much covering term
of worry" is often the name for a
trouble the essential part of which is
the difficulty of making up the mind"
Those who can read between the lines
discern also in many case of suicide
the same difficulty as the final cause
which plunged a weak and distracted
intelligence into the ultimate catastro-
phe. Sooner than continue the struggle
with doubts, alternatives and perplexi-
ties the mind that cannot be made
up" is overthrown altogether.-London
