inc formal declaration, annexes the
new land.
Another way applies more particu-
ark to Artic exploration. If new
lands are discovered and they prove
tn he a continuation of. and part of.
land already known. those new lands
belong to the same sovereignty that
owns the old land. Thus, if Cook s
developed to be merely combinations
of Greenland. Denmlrks claim would
be preeminent.
But this is utterly disproVed be-
cause it has been demonstrated that
Greenland is an island Amundsen, in
his explorations. proved this by cir
communicating it, Thus the Danish
claim falls to the ground.
The third way. which applies to the
Canadian contention. is the calm of

Hardy had DR. Cook had time to
get shave and new suit of clothes
before he was approached with an Of
fer of $4,000 for the exclusive rights
for the publication of his book 1t
was a big price but 1t was not ac-
cepted. Just as soon as Peary came
knocking of Cooks achievements,
instead of depreciating the market
tor Cooks writings. it scared upward.
An American firm OF book publishers
promptly came forward with an offer
10 Cook of $250000. just double the
original amount bid for his work.
Following this came proposition
from representative of lecture
bureau who suggested a willingness
TO pay $3.50. 900 to Cook for A series of
100 lectures. An American theatrical
concern invited him to name his own
figures and consider the deal closed.
In addition. a magazine offered him
$4,000 tor a single article dealing
with his trip to the poe. Peary has
been bombarded Win equally lucr1-
tive propositions from the ok-mak-
ers and the lecture managers.
Both of them Will be great drawing

that he should be entitled to receive
out of that fund Angel on Fire and
Life Insurance. AS. There is not a
word about the parties being insurers
of each other, further than as they
We're made so by the payment of
cash premium. They made up com
mon fund by means of their common
or mutual contributions, upon which
each had claim for any loss in re-
spect to the property insured. There
was no responsibility beyond that. and
this is all that is essential to a mutual
company. The Mutual Principle, as
it is called, requires nothing more.
Joint stock companies have a sub
scribed capital. Mutual companies do
not, but depend upon their premiums.
This is what distinguishes them: and
whether the premiums are paid in cash
or by notes has nothing to do with
the distinction"
The court well says that much of
the difficulty on the subject has been
produced by attaching meaning to
the word mutual, in its connection with
insurance, which does not belong to it.
The mutual principle is the same in
boht fire and life insurance Most of our
great life insurance companies of to-
day are conducted on the mutual prin-
ciple, and the writer Of the advertise
nent referred to will hardly dare as
sert that the policy holde 5 are assess
able beyond their cash premiums in
such companies as the Northwestern
Mutual Life, the Mutual Life of New
York and the Mutual Benefit of New
Jersey. If the policy holders of the
life companies above referred to are
also assessable. but all court decisions
bearing on the subject are to the eff
feet that neither are assessable

are already urging that he be made

100 Years Hence No More Drudgery-Just Live To Enjoy Yourselves.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox believes in a hundred years all drudgery will be done by machinery. We will fly through the air on the wings of the wind and have time to see and enjoy all the wonders of the world and per- haps of the heavens which are now sealed books to the majority because Of the eternal grind of every day life
 Look back 100 years and the changes made seem just as great. What we wear, how we traved, how we com municate, what we eat, sensible clothes vehicles speedy and comfortable, wire less telegraphs, telephones, fast trains and mail steamers, and healthful foods
 Today instead of loading our stomachs with heavy, greasy breakfasts that dull the brain and retard our mornings work, we eat delicious E-C Corn Flakes or Egg-O-See Wheat Flakes. made by the famous Egg See process that insures perfect digestion, high nu- triton and greater strength
 Always ready to serve good for babes. best for invalids-the sensible breakfast for the business man or the busy ener- getic housewife. Remember it's the Egg O-See process that makes the flakes so crip and delicious.
