RICH MEMS INSURANCE.

Men with large insurance formerly scattered
II among many companies. John Wanamaker
for example, has $500 900 insurance in eighty
hVe policies. For long time he carried the
largest insurance in the United States During
the last ten years, however. very rich men have
taken out large single policies.
The first Sl,OO,O0O policy ever issued was
taken out In 1897 by Mr.. George w. Vanderbilt,
at the age OF thirty-fve, in the Mutual 1t is a
twenty-payment life. twenty-year distribution
policy; that Is. he is 10 pay yearly premium of
$4,000 for twenty years. At the end of this
time he viii receive paid-up policy Of 81 Co.,
OoO and a cash dividend. If the policy had been
taken out twenty years ago. at the same age, he
would have paid by this time the sum Of 500, 900
In premiums which at 4 per cent compound in
terest would amount to nearly 81 OS5 600
The most heavily insured man in the world
however is probably Mr.. l. Rodman WanR-
maker, OF Philadelphia, who carries S2.O00oOO
IN the Mutual, in addition TO insurance in other
companies. Mr.. Wanamaker first took out his
insurance IN the Mutual, amounting TO S2Ce0QDO
at the age OF thirty-four. At thirty-six he in
creased it by two additional policies Of 100000
and S5OOOOO. Five years later. at forty-One he
took two additional policies, one Of 81 100000
and the other of 100000. This makes his total
insurance in the company 100000. which
he pays yearly premium OF $63, ,226.
The Wanamaker family in Philadelphia car
ries total Of s.. $50 600 IN life insurance prob
ably than any other in the world. e
But all rich men do not carry life insurance

Municipal ownership will take the traction

made the statement that he had ia OF his ward

City Railway Company.
That's the way take care of my fellows"
he said. And I've got lot more jobs with
other corporations"
And this Is but one alderman who has
secured jobs for his followers and neuten-
ants with one traction corporation. This Off

in the Council for the plans Of the traction
corporations. Does he get the Jobs as par

There are other aldermen who have made boast
70 friends OF the number OF "constits" they have
placed with the traction corporations Does this
look as II private ownership has kept these utiI-
tiles out OF politics? To this cry Of political
machine II might be pertinent TO return the in

WHAT'S A GOOD POTATO?

Most people. I suppose, take 1t for granted
that the best potatoes are the ones that con-
tain the most starch. On the contrary II is the
ones that contain the most gluten, because
gluten is aIbuminous food, and starch is
much cheaper than albumen.
First comes the skin of the potato. In a
new potato II is thin and clear; while corky
skin indicates a mature potato. and one more
likely TO be mealy.
Second is a thin layer varying from one
eighth OF an inch to one-half an inch in thick
ness This is the gluten
Third comes the largest part of the potato
the starch. If this is very dense the potato
VIII be mealy, but If non-uniform the potato
will be OF poor quality.
Fourth Is the very centre OF the tuber which
contains little starch and a great deal of water
