New York, Jan. l3-Actuary Emory Nc
Clintock OF the Mutual Life Insurance
company. who stands among the leaders
i'm his profession, was asked yesterday
whether in his opinion all this agitation
about life insurance affairs was really
going to result I'm any practical good TO
the policy holders
why. inevitably--it Is going TO result
in very great good was the reply.
Mr.. McClintock spoke of the Mutual

We'll III tell YOU" said Mr. McClln-
tock. that the Truesdale committee has
been exceedingly diligent. II has been
working almost daily and is continually
making recommendations TO the officers
of the company"
In Mr.. McClintocks opinion it was suf-
hcient that the committee should make
these recommendation, and that the Of

also has been meeting several times a

Persons who heard OF Mr.. McClintock's
opinions said that the attitude OF the
Mutual Lies board OF trustees toward
publicity was evident from the way i'm
which the Truesdale investigating COM
mittee's partial report has been held up
I'm the board for several weeks without

Mr.. McClintock declared further that

desire now TO make the company, not the
biggest i'm the world, but the one which
will yield the best results to it's policy

President Paul Morton OF the Equitable

NERVOUS BABIES
The Exact Cause.

Many a child, while nursing, has ac-
quired an appetite for strong drink be-
cause the mother used beverages con
tanning alcohol. A letter from an
Elgin, H., mother illustrates the
necessity of great care as to the moth
er's food and drink while she is nurs-
ing her child:
What 1 have to say should be of in
terest to mothers who are SO fortunate
as to be able to nurse their babies, .
she writes. Until my first baby came
I did not realize that coffee was the
cause of the severe attacks of nervous
ness to which I was subject at times.
I found that when one of these attacks
came upon me, baby was affected in
the same way, at about the same time,
and reflection led me to conclude that
it was the coffee 1 drank that was
ma king US both i'll.
Having read an article about Post
UNI Food Coffee, I decided to give it a
trial. and when I had learned to pre-
pare it properly by boiling it at least
20 minutes I found that with cream, it
was a delicious drink. And il proved
most beneficial to the health of both
of US.
However when gave up the old
coffee. I thought there would be no
harm in having one cup of the old kind
on Sunday mornings for old times
sake. Two Sundays showed me the
folly of this. I was amazed at the in
huence the coffee had on my own and
babyis nerves. 1t made me restless
and unstrung till its effects had time
to wear off. and about the time I be
gan to feel easier it began 10 AFFECT
baby through the milk. so that it
spoiled our entire day When I found
this to be the case 1 gave up the Sun
day morning coffee indulgence.
And that ended the nervous attacks
for both of US. This was five years ago.
and I have used Postum regularly ever
since, and enjoy it as much as I ever
did the other kind of coffee.
7 believe that the. fretful condition
/ of many babies is caused by the coffee
drinking habit of the mother.
1T is hard to deny children the
drink they see their sparents enjoying
at table and it is a great comfort to be
able to let them have all the Postum
they want Served with cream it has
proved an ideal beverage for my 3 lit
! tie ones
7 found also that Postum is great
/ producer of healthy milk. and am sure
/ that many a worried mother would be
4 benefited by its use. I cannot com
mend it too highly Name given by

PORTABLE TELEPHONES.
Northern Pacific Has a Continuance of
Great Value.

The telephone department of the
Northern Pacific has invented a con-
trivance which viii prove of value for
telephone service along the line be-
tween stations. 1t is in the nature of
rcd. which can be connected with the
wires at any place along the line. To
the rod are attached two wires. which
connect with a portable telephone box.
The rod is made of sections and can
be made fifteen feet in length. which
is is high as any of the wires which the
Northern Pacific has in service. At the
end of the rod are two pieces of wire.
projecting in opposite directions. The
two ends are just wide enough to con-
meet with two overhead wires to which
they are secured by spiral springs
From the rod run two wires which
connect with the portable telephone.
In view of the fact that the tele-
phone and telegraph instruments cut
into the circuit in multiple. the port
able telephone does not affect the cir
cult
These portable telephones viii be
sent out on wrecking outfits. superin-
tendents' cars and probably private
cars. With this equipment telephone
connection can be made in two minutes
and reports sent in Immediately to SUI
perintendents and dispatchers.
