NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-The fact that
the Equitable Life Assurance Soci-
ETY. has, for the last four years, In
sured free the lives of its 900 en-
pioyes for $1,000 each has become
known.
Since the institution of the free in
surance scheme, seventeen deaths
have occurred among the employees,
and the society has, in consequence,
paid out $4,000.
Paul Morton, President of the
Equitable, in speaking of the matter
said:
when 1 entered the service of the
Equitable and learned about the sys-
tenn, the propriety of continuing it
occurred to me, and at a meeting of
the Board OF Directors the whole
question was brought up. 1t was de-
cided to refer the matter to the Com
mittee on Pensions, and it is still in
the hands of that committee. Wheth-
er the system transgresses any law,
l am not prepared to say. That is a
question for the lawyers to answer.
1t is a common practice of all large
corporations nowadays to carry in
surance upon the lives of all their en-
ployes."
Vice President Gage F. Tarbell,
who is said to have originated the
system in the Equitable, declared
that when an employee died it did
away with the necessity of his fellow
employees contributing to a fund for
his widow or other dependent rela-
tives. 1t also, he said, induced an en-
the Equitable, as the insurance
ceased the moment. he severed his
connection with the society. The
premiums WERE paid, Mr.. Tarbel said,
in lieu of slightly higher salary.
The average cost to the Equitable
was $19 year per employee.

Atlanta, Ca, Feb 6.-Col. John
Temple Graves was temporarily re-
moved from the position of editor-in-

To Whom 1t May Concern:
OF late there has been a good deal
of discussion In Union City in regard
to advertised medicines and their val
ue-- the papers are full of them.
We want to say to every man, wo-
man and child in Union City that we
believe the most valuable preparation
Of cod liver oil-the best tonic resur-
rector, health restorer and strength
creator we have ever sold in our store
is Who'll
Vinol is not a patent medicine. 1t
contains no injurious drugs, but it
actually does contain all of the me-
dicinal, curative elements taken from
fresh Gods Flyers, without drop of
the useless oil to upset the stomach
and retard its work, and tonic iron
added.
Vinol Is recognized throughout the
world as the greatest strength creator
for old people, weak, sickly women
and after a severe sickness.
VinOl cures hacking coughs, chronic
colds, bronchitis, and all throat and
lung troubles. We ask the people of
Union City to try Vinol on our offer
to return money If 1t fails. Red Cross
Drug Store. Watson & Kinney, Props.
NOTE. While we sre sole agents for
Vinol in Union City, IL is now for sale
at the leading drug store In nearly
every town and city in the country.
