PURIFIED LIFE INSURANCE,
Benefits from New Law, Which Pc.
mains Substantially Unchanged.

Through the influence Of Gov.
Hughes. the New York Legislature de-
cided to make no radical changes in
the new insurance law. 1t was pointed
out by Gov. Hughes that the New York
law has already accomplished wide
spread reforms, with proportionate
benefits to policyholders, and that 1t
should be given a thorough trial be-
fore any amendments were seriously
considered. 1t is estimated that the
cost of the mismanagement of the past
did not average more than 20 cents to
each policyholder while the benefits
to present and future policyholders
will amount to many times more and
be cumulative besides. The speed
craze OF the big companies and the ex-
cessive cost Of securing new business
was the most extravagant evil OF the
old managements. Under the new
regime the cost OF new business has
already been greatly reduced, along
with other economies.
The showing made by the Equitable
Life Assurance Society in its report
for 1906 was strong argument
against meddling with the new law
In the Equitable alone there was
saving Of over $4,000, 900 in expenses,
besides an increase in the income
from the Society's assets amounting
to as much more. The ratios of the
Equitable's total expenses to its total
income was 1925 in 1904, 1880 in
1905. and only 14.4sce in 1906. The
dividends paid to Equitable policy
holders in 1906 amounted to S7.2S9,I34,
which was an increase OF more than
go over 1905.
While the Equitable made a better
showing than any other big company.
all reported radical economies and un.
der such conditions the Legislature
wisely decided to leave the law sub

 Even before the opening hour--s a. m. -anxious purchasers had assembled on the pavement waiting for the doors leading to the five great departments where the sale is on, to be thrown open. From o'clock until the closing hour buyers poured into the store in perfect streams, and closing time found the store well filled with patrons.

A large percentage of the goods being sac riiced are on display today for the first time and represent the best and  latest products of eastern mills and factories, particularly is this true in the shoe and dress goods departments.
 The w. w. Brookner company, with characteristic caution and prudence and with eommendable generosity laid a most intelligent and conservative adver- Using foundation for this great sale. They made plain, frank stateTlent of their intentions through the columns of the Silver Belt, which goes tito every home in the Globe district This was followed by bold expose If qualities to be offered and the prizes given in plain figures.
