MUTUAL LIFE ECONOMIES.
Gratifying Showing for First Six Month
OF IOO0-Buslness Cut In HAlf.

GfAtfying showing for First SIX Months
OF lOO0-Buslness Cut In Hair.
The management OF the Mutual Life
Insurance Company yesterday made public
. statement showing the running expenses
OF the company for the first six months
q the present year under the new manage
uient a compared with the expenses for
a corresponding period Of 1905 under tho
old regime.
The schedule shows q decrease In every
item Of expenditure a W taxes. over which
the company a no control. Several new
expenses were incurred, such a. for the
preparations Of policy lists, Investigations
and other things growing out Of the develop
ments In life insurance. The net decrease
for the six months. not counting these new
items, 10 Ss,27s, sSs.Is. Including the ex-
t~raordinary expenses the schedule shows q
saving Of SOFA, $3.50.
In the matter Of commissions paid on
new premiums there has been Q decrease
OF tl.s44,s6l.7i and on renewal premiums a
decrease Of t2Ss.oe7. The agency expenses
have been cut by $l4i AS and salaries by
sllS.e2o. These figures do not. it Ia said.
represent the entire saving in salaries, as
the salaries OF employees have in some
cases been included in other items OF ex-
pense.
The advertising account has been de-
creased by almost 800 900 and the legal
expenses by $3.50 800. These are two Of the
accounts to which Questionable expendi-
lures were charged under the old manage
ment. The expenses of operating the COM
pany's ofice building and other property
have been reduced by SIS DIG. More than
s2i1 900 has been saved on the printing and
stationery account alone. This is the
account manipulated most extensively by
Andy Fields and the supply department.
More than 5000 has been saved In oom-
mittee fees and $40 900 In expressage freight
and restaurant expenses. Over $1,000 has
been saved in postage. telephone and tele-
graph charges.
According to the statement it cost the
Mutual for the Investigations which IL
has made this year S17o, 1874. Most OF this
went to expert accountants. IL cost the
company almost SIS, 600 to prepare the
list OF ~poicyholders filed In Albany IN ac-
cordAnc with the new Armstrong laws,
b statement shows a decrease Of
%, 7l0, 0O8 in premium receipts on new buei-
ness. In the first six months Of 1905 the
premiums on new business amounted to
S4,+5S ,S72. This gives some idea Of the
disastrous effect Of the insurance scandals
on the company's business. The receipts
from enewals show an increase over the
first six months Of 1905 of S637 ,ll2.62. The
total receipts from the two sources show
q decrease OF S2,OTs, A90.4o.

Be1oare of Frozen Fish.

1t must be remembered, of cou.Ise,
that the prices of marketing are apt to
follow the changes o. temperature As
the thermometer fsils, the cost Of living
ascends, and vice versa. So in frosty
weather beware of frozen fish.
The only kind that is fit TO buy frozen
are smelts. and, by the way. these are
delicious fried. Always. In frying all
kinds of fish be sure TO have enough
hot lerd to entirely cover them, else
they will stick TO the bottom OF the pan
and burn If the fat is not hot enough
the FISH will absorb some OF it an6 be-
come greasy and indigestibie.
Always test the lard before putting the
FISH on 10 cook. Take a piece OF bread
crust and drop in. II il turns a light
brown quickly tie lard is in the right
condition.
To prepare fish for frying dredge them
first with flour, then brush them with
beaten egg and roll them in sifted crack
er crumbs. Brown them first on one
side, then turn ami brown on the other.
and when done let them drain quite dry.
Many persons prefer a frying basket
These come made of wire There is a
rod attached to the pan. on the top of
this is a hook. on which TO hang the
basket after the fish are cooked. The
iat can by this means drip into the pan
beneath and the FISH win remain hot
Fried smelts are best served with
sauce Tartare. This is simply a may
onna1se dressing with picked cucum-
bers, a small shallot and some parsley
chopped very fine Add also some cap
ers- This same sauce is delicious when
served with fried oysters These are
nice for fast days.

SOME SIMPLE REMEDIES FOR

There are some things that women
can DO t. prevent colds. such as sleep

baths. etc. but often. in spite OF the
utmost care, colds viii come in some in
explicable way. The first thing to do is
10 jump into d hot bath at night before
going TO bed. following the immersion
with tumbler of hot lemonade, with
perhaps a stick in il, if ones principles
do not forbid. There is nothing equal

HIS APPOINTMENTS

A plutocratic publication issued
at Portland instances Governor
Chamberlain's appointments as
strong reasons why he finds
staunch support outside of the
party. He appointed Judge
Harris to the additional judge
ship in this district because
Judge Hamilton is a democrat.
He filled a vacancy on the su-
preme bench by appointing a
democrat because the two other
judges are republicans.
1t is probable he appointed a
democrat to the u. S. senate be-
cause the other senator is re-
publican.
The Governor knows that one
Of the most senseless and ground
less "scares" is the fear that
our Judiciary is in any danger
whatever of becoming partisan
He knows, too, that in this
district are eminently well quail
fed democratic lawyers, who,
because of their long party SER
vice, supplemented by their fit
ness, should have received the
compliment of appointment.
If he does not know, he is like
ly to learn, ere long, that he
would assuredly have gained
more friends and also more Ger
tainly retained those he had by
appointing a democrat to the
judgeship and a republican to the
senatorship. The governor is
not the first actor Who has made
the mistake of playing to the
galleries when he would better
have kept in his lines.
| We rejoice in the appointment
OF Judge Harris and merely
mention the matter to show the
Governors politics.
