The Midwest Life

Speaking Of so-called Guaranteed Div
idend" policies Best Life Insurance re-
ports for 1908, says: The dividends
under so-called guaranteed dividend poi
icies are not dividends at all, but merely
guaranteed premium reductions the use
of the name guaranteed dividend is a
Misrepresentation and in several states
is not permitted"
All that is done by the company issu-
ing such policies is to add the amount Of
the so-called guaranteed dividend" or
guaranteed premium reductions" to the
premium which they otherwise would
charge. AT the end of each policy year
the company then returns to the policy
holder this added charge to the premium,
The ~policyholders are few indeed who
would buy such a policy If they under
stood exactly where these guaranteed
dividends came from-a fixed o~vercharge
collected at the beginning of each year
and returned at the end.

FATAL GRIEF AT SEPARATION
y urse Couldn't Bear Parting with
Girl, Her Charge for EfKh-
teen Years.

Grief over her first separation in eigh-
teen years from the girl she had nursed
since birth is believed to have caused the
death Of Mrs. Elizabeth Mcwilliams. en-
ployed by John Boulton Simpson, president
OF the Estey Piano company. who lives at
Bolton. Warren county, New York.
Miss Helen Simpson, whose nurse Mrs.
McWilliams was, had never been away
from home for any extended time until this
fall, when she entered vassar college. The
nurse, who was 90 years old, begged to be
allowed to go with her charge, but this
was found 10 be impossible owing TO the
rules of the institution. Her occupation
gone, she became a pathetic figure in the
household, and Mr.. Simpson decided to al
low her a pension that would insure com
Portable leisure for Mana, as she had
been called by his daughter. She
was paid $50 a month and was told by her
employer that she was free to come and go
as she pleased.
About a week ago she went 70 Philadel-
phia to visit her sister, who lives at 23]1
South Colorado street. At the time Of her
departure she was a strong, healthy woman,
although she had lost her cheerful DISPOSE
lion after separation from Miss Simpson.

Good teeth are Of the first Importance.
Indeed, they are all important, IL we are

health and happiness, for without good
teeth we cannot have good digestion,
good health, good looks. or good anything
connected with the physical life.
Horace Fletcher is going UP and down

ticate it thoroughly, and you will then
know "the true sense of entire well-being"
The world today is "fletch erizing," not
as a fad, but because II is learning an
old-new truth for the first time
We must all 'fletcherize."
But wait a bit.
How are you to chew your food unless
you have good teeth-and by good teeth
we mean tina you nave all the teeth
nature intended you to have and that
each one is able to do its full share of
the work.
IL you have some good teeth and sew
eral are missing, then your food is apt
to be chewed in spots-and part of 1t Is
apt to go down whole.
II is of the utmost Importance that you
have a full set of teeth.

The Alveolar Method of teeth restora-

We do not cut or bore into the gums
neither do we cause the patient any pain

The Alveolar Method is the marvel OF
the present century. 1t is as far ah cad
OF the usual plan of teeth restoration as
the electric light Is ahead of the tallow

Denial of all charges made by Frank

According to Widaman and sanger,

said Bell fancied Widaman was after

they forced him to write at pistol
point, fully two days before the time
of the alleged shooting.
witnesses Will be called this morning

Bell denied yesterday that he ana
Widaman had ever been friends, but
admitted accepting many favors from
the attorney.
