CraZed BY His Rescue.

Two Gloucester fishermen, one of
whom was raving maniac from
10y, were brought into this port by
the steamer Republic today. They
were picked up in open sea by the
steamer Michigan and transferred to
the Republic four days ago.
The two men are John Burke and
James Burbine. Their dory was lost
from the fishing schooner Bohemia
off Cape Race, and for seven days
they drifted without food or water.
The fourth day Burbine drank sea
water, and for the next three days
Burke fought him constantly to
prevent him from committing sui
eide. Both men were unconscious
when rescued.
When Burbine came to on the
Michigan and realized that he was
saved he became hysterlcal from joy
and then began to rave. Both men
will live.-New York Tribune.

"Thc Only Remedy For Sin"

We preach Jesus as the Lamb OF
God, which taketh away the sin OF the
world. This is the old, old story; it
is a very simple story. but the telling
of it will save the people. Keep to
that Gospel.
Many have lost faith in 1t. 1t Is
hoped that people will now be saved
by new socialists arrangements. by
moral precepts, by amusements, by
societies, and what not You that
are sent to preach Christ, if You take
to doing something else, and become
philosophical, socialistic. philan-

come of the spiritual nature of men?
Keep you to your work, so and
preach Christ to the people.
| have not lost faith in the old
Gospel. No; my faith in it grows as

quackeries of succeeding years. The
methods of the modern school are a
bottle of smoke; Christ crucified Is
the only remedy for sin.-Spurgeon.

the museum of an exceedingly rare
Chinese curio from Kinching. the

Signs OF Long Life,

Every person, according to a med-
cal writer, bears physical indications
Of his prospects of a long or short
life. THE primary conditions of
longevity are that the heart, lungs,
and digestive organs, as well as the
brain should be large. If these or
CANS are large the trunk will be long
and the limbs comparatively short.
The person will appear tall in sitting
and short in standing. The hand
will have a long and somewhat heavy
palm and short fingers. The blue
or brown hazel eye, as showing an
lntermission of temperament, Is a
favorable indication. The nostrils, If
large, open, and free, indicate large
lungs. A pinched and half-closed
nostril indicates small or weak lungs.

ASTONISHED THE DOCTOR
Old Lady Got Well With Change OF
Food.

A great scientist has said we can
put off "old age" If we can only nour-
lsh the body properly.
To do this the right kind OF food,
of course, is necessary. The BODY
manufactures posons in the stomach
and intestines from certain kinds OF
food stuffs and unless sufficient OF the
right kind Is used, the injurious ele-
ments overcome the good.
"My grandmother, II years old"
writes a N. Y. lady, had been an In
valid for IS years from what was
called consumption Of the stomach
and bowels. The doctor had given
her up to die.
81 saw SO much about Grape-Nuts
that / persuaded grandmother to try
it. She could not keep anything on
her stomach for more than few min
utes.
"Sh. began Grape-Nuts with only a
teaspoonful. AS that did not distress
her and as she could retain 1t, she
took a little more until she could take
all OF Jour IcdSpOOuluiS az u LhS"i
Then she began to gain and grow
strong and her trouble in the stomach
was gone entirely. She got to enjoy
good health for one so old, and we
know Grape-Nuts saved her life.
"The doctor was astonished that
instead of dying she got well, and
without a drop of medicine after she
began the Grape-Nuts." There's

1t was my fathers habit when he
drove into town on market day to
bring back pair of pigeons.
My mother being an invalid, the
doctor was often wanted very quickly,
and my father used to fasten his or
ders to a bird, liberate it, and away
it would go straight home, my faith

for years dispatched to town in this
way until my uncle died, when we
lost our useful little messengers, who
had saved us many long, cold drive

IT'S FACTS
THAT COUNT

On numerous occasions you have
read the assertion in these columns
over my signature that the Mutual
Benefit Life Insurance Company was
the Best life insurance company in the
world. that it issued the Best and most
liberal policies Of any company and
that by reason Of its conservative. eco
nOmical management the cost to the
policy holder was less than in any
other company These statements were
and are made by me because l know
them all to be facts. 1t would require
too much space to give detailed de-
scriptiOn of a Mutual Benefit policy
and you would probably not read 1t II
ii was given, therefore I'll not under
take it. but will give you comparison
that should cause you to see the light.
II is a fact that the bulk Of the old line
life insurance in force in this section is
in the Equitable. Mutual Benefit n. Y.
Life, Mutual Life of n Y. the Aetna
and the Penn Mutual, all recognized
everywhere as being good, strong and
liberal companies: ready, willing and
anxious TO carry out their contracts TO
the letter but there is a difference in
the contracts. Some are more liberal
than others and the Mutual Benefit
Guarantees more for the money paid
than any. The most popular form Of
life insurance for men under 40 years
of age is what is known as the 20 pay
life plan. All these companies issue
that kind. For each $1,000 insurance at
age 80 the Equitable, n. Y. Life and
Mutual Life. the three largest compa-
nies in the world, charge $3S.34 annu-
ally. The Mutual Benefit $36.22. the
Aetna $37. .33 and the Penn Mutual 1925.
The guaranteed cash surrender value
at the end Of 90 years on each $1,000
insurance is 5000 in each Of the N. Y.
companies and the Mutual Benefit,
while in the Aetna and Penn Mutual it
is $6l3. The Mutual Benefit will issue
the same policy with the same guaran-
teed values and guaranteed to be paid
up in nineteen years for $31.35 year.
The premiums Of all the companies
named are to be reduced by annual
dividends and the past record or the
Mutual Benefit shows that 1t pays
Iaruer dividends than the others. lf the
best insurance at the least guaranteed
cost is what you want, you will be sure
to see me and ask for further infOrma =
