CONTINENTAL FRUIT EXPRESS

Within the annual period which marks
the fruit gathering and shipping season
in California, the people east of the
Rocky mountains and unto the Atlantic
seaboard are accustomed to finding
fresh, luscious California fruits of vart-
Gus kinds upon the market in a plump
and sound condition and possessing the
juicy sweetness and flavor Of their ma
tivfty. Outside commercial circles those
who give this matter any thought can
only wonder how these fruits have been
brought so long q distance, across the
deserts and through the semi-tropical
zone, and retain their prime conditions
and command the highest prices in the
markets practically foreign to them. Pos
sibly it is not known among the peoples
far away from the land of production
that these fruits are transported by a
system of rapid transit inaugurated IN
Southern California several years ago by
the Continental Fruit Express. This or
ganization has built and owns and oper-
ates nearly 5000 especially equipped re-
frigerator cars for the primary purpose
of conveying California fruits TO the far
eastern markets in the condition in which
they are delivered for shipment. The
chief elements of consideration are pro-
lection of the fruit by adequate and con-
tinuous refrigeration, rapid transit and
prompt delivery to the destination In
the last twelve years the business of this
company has increased sevenfold The
cars of the company travel in every dl-
and Salt Lake systems. branching from
these to practically every connecting

INSURANCE

Life insurance and fire insurance are
twin brothers in a cooperative and
beneficial sense. Life insurance affords
the thoughtful and provident man op-
portunity to make ample provision for
those dependent upon him for support,
in case of death from natural causes or
accident, besides giving him credit in
business transactions. Fire insurance
deals with the business side of human
affairs, and premiums paid for both
life and fire insurance is money well
invested.
1t is figured that S,5OO,OOO persons in
the United States hold life insurance
policies for various amounts, with the
number increasing yearly at the rate of
100000 persons. 1t is estimated that
fully 20,O0O,00O people, embracing those
related to the policy holders. are vitally
interested in life insurance. About
$225.OO0,O00 is paid out annually by
American companies for death claims,
endowments, dividends and settlements.
All of the leading life insurance COM
panles or the country are represented
in Los Angeles and policy holders re-
side in all sections of Southern Cali
fornia and in neighboring states.
The Conservative Life Insurance COM
pany, with splendid offices in its own
building, is a solid Los Angeles insti-
tuition that has had a wonderful
growth.

HOME LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

Mr.. H. Haskell of this city, who has
been In the employ of the above company
for the past twenty-five years, is GER
tainly excellent authority on Insurance
matters. For ten years he has been man.
ager of the company's business for the
whole of Southern California, and has
made this fine company deservedly popu-
lar in this part Of the country. His
popularity with the other insurance COM
panies is such that he was unanimously
elected president of the Underwriters
association for Southern California at
their last meeting. The Home Life In
surance company of New York has been
in existence nearly half a century, and
stands at the head among companies that
for general reliability and effectiveness
have won success and prestige all over the
United States. During its enterprlsing
history the Home Life Insurance company
has been supplying the best of life in
surance at the lowest price compatible
with real merit The company is in excel
lent financial condition. After crediting
the policy holders with all the deferred
dividends, and setting aside large con-
tingent fund, 1t still maintains an actual
surplus that is relatively one of the larg-
est shown by any company. A most COM
mendable feature OF the Homes contract
is that on every participating policy is
sued by the Home Life Insurance com
pany dividend is apportioned annually
whether that policy is taken out upon
the annual cash dividend plan or whether
the dividends are allowed to remain with

tration, and the National Life is known
to be one of the most popular insur-
ance companies doing business in Cali
fornia. The National Life in it's gem
eral management has demonstrated
that the progress of a financial insti-
tuition is not wholly measured by the
figures which display it's gains. 1t is
significant, however, to note that the
gains for 1904, as compared with 1908,
were S342,630 in premiums, $131,763 in
interest, $414,550 in total income, s372,-
2S3 in payments to policy holders,
$3,OS4,656 in assets, S525,766 in surplus,
and $9,06S,776 in insurance in force.
The care and wisdom in the selection
of risks is evidenced by the fact that
the death rate of the company for 1904
was only SAT- per cent of the expected.

 Truly Religious.
 The Sunday dress has gone out of fashion. It is no longer considered the proper thing to wear your best clothes to church.
 If you have a Sunday hat you must lay it away to wear to circus or a picnic, and get out your plainest last summers bonnet or your everyday headgear to wear to church. The Rev. pr. A. w. Mcconnell of Des Moines says so. The high, fluffy and elaborate toilet has been relegated to l matinee. the reception and the after noon tea by the fashionable woman, and in it's place is seen a church cos- tune of the quietest taste and most modest colors, with plain hat and gloves to match. The warm weather of the last few Sundays has brought out some lighter costumes, and dainty white gowns and light colored silk and linen suits have been worn, but 1t is noticeable that the gowns worn to CnuIGA US#5s IiIS 1estA0AS 2 VI FAEloAlANAtc1oAS society in this city are eha araeteG.ged by simplicity.
 l This fact was particularly observable | in visit to the various fashionable churches of the city last Sunday. when ! the warm, bright day brought out llriti- sually large congregations, At the i churches where many fashionable folks worship, 1t was observed that simply ! made white linen suits, modest cos- | tumes of light summer silk and plain simple hats with little trimming were almost universally worn by the women | whose costumes are most often ob-

And they speak many good words for them also and wish them well in life. But they are not in the taffy business all the time.
