a fantastic society, as is attested by the work in San
Francisco and other cities against this creeping vehicle
of the bubonic plague.
The mosquito and the rat have "got to 60" And SO
has the house fly, which, far from being only q buzzing
nuisance, causes thousands of deaths a year. During
the civil war 1t was found that flies carried gangrene.
This early discovery has been explained by the later
knowledge of disease germs.

from one company to another. He is like the bee who,
instead Of getting honey from the flowers, robs the hive
Of his %neighbors. In the past twisters have been agents
of other companies, but a new type has sprung up. He
usually calls himself an insurance expert, or an insur-
ance adviser, or some other name that anything but de-
scribes him. He writes to the policyholder and asks
for the privilege OF showing how the latter may get
more insurance In some other company for the same
rate. 1t is needless to say that this other company is
often some company which has no financial standing.
Just at the present time the twister is living up to his
name by trying to twist a wrong Interpretation into the
Armstrong law, by saying that deferred or tontine divi-
dends are outlawed, and by attempting to scare policy
holders in other ways. The only way to treat the
anarchist of life insurance is to drive him out Of bust
ness by having nothing to do with him-Leslie's Weekly.

success. Tho oftener you cause that force to be ex-
erted, the faster your business will grow. You can at
tract these individual forces, If you choose, and get the
most from them. Or you can repel them and suffer
actual damage from having come in contact with them.
Or you may take a middle course. as many business
men do, and drift along in purely negative manner.
Looking at business in this light, 1t is apparent that
the underlying element which contributes most to the
success Of any undertaking, and to business in the aggre-
gate, is the art Of finding the vital points of human con-
tact that will set In motion these forces. The personal
element must be stamped upon your business.-Systela.

al good financial condition. Instead of

cattle concerns, it is providing a means
of protection for the smaller cattle men
who are coming in to take their places
that they cannot afford to respect. The
same demand for market inspection pre-
walls, aud the work of cattle inspection
proves the efficiency of organization, un-
der the association method.
