Dear Sir: Josh Billings never said
ANYTHING truer than this: "Sucksess
duz not konsist of never maxim blum
ders, but in not maxim the same wun
twist"
n r Watkins, Of Lott, Texas, had
his house painted some years ago, and
II took l3 gallons of what he believed
to be paint; he bought it for paint, and
it looked like paint, the painter said II
was paint.
He has had it painted again; 1t took
gallons Devoe.
1t cost SOS before; now $50.
He knows IT is painted now, and hes
got that $50 In safe place. He's got
his knowledge in a safe place too.
Yours truly

EXPERIENCE THE
BEST TEACHER

There are hundreds and
thousands of men who are Insured In
the Mutual Benefit Life Insurance 90.
under single policies ranging IN
amount from $1,000 to $4,000. 1t Is
more than likely that the vast major
ity of these insured in this particular
company because of the solicitation
of an agent or on the advice OF some
one already a policy holder, dt Is gen.
orally conceded that in no company
in business are so many new policies
issued through the influence OF those
already insured), but 1t is fact also
that there are hundreds and thou-
sands of members who have from two
to eight policies each In the Mutuai
BENEFIT issued at different times, In
many instances the last being issued
as long as 25 to 80 years after the
first, and it is usually the case that all
except the first are voluntarily applied
for because the assured knows by
Experience, the best teacher, that eV-
cry claim made for the company and
its contracts are true. If you are
thinking Of applying for Life lnsur-
ance You cannot afford to ignore the
Mutual Benefit.

Both hands on your pocketbook," has

zen toward Standard Oil, or the other
great industrial enterprises that have

tenders among the ranks Of the clergy.

New York not only uses more tele-
phones than any other city in the world
but manufactures more than all the rest
Of the country combined. This fact was
brought out in connection with the am
nouncement that the Western Electric
Company which makes all the instru-
ments used by the various Bell companies
at it's huge West street plant In this
city is to sell telephones to the general
public. Something like 100000 instru-
ments a year. or more than 5000 COM
plete telephones every day, is New
York's contribution to the business OF
vocal communication to supply the fde,
mands Of the Bell interests. The tele-
phone business, though now thirty years
old, has had its great expansion in the
past ten years and 28,000 persons are
employed In the making Of various parts
BY this one company alone. Heretofore
| it has not been possible for an indivi-
ldual or for a group Of neighbors with q
private telephone line to buy the in
struments used BY the Bell system, but
this Is now to be changed. The big com.
pany admits that its refusal to sell In
struments in the past has caused it t.
