THE REASON WHY
Because our Accident and
Health Policies are the best.


Health Policies are the best.
1. They pay double indemni-
ties if sick in hospital; others
don't.
2. They pay if you are totally
disabled until 70 years old.
8. They accumulate so per
cent in three years, others take
five years.
4. It is a pleasure to make
quick and most liberal settle
ments.

WATCHMAKERS' LORE.
Something About the MainsprinE
aud the Care OF Watches.

Something About the Kidnapping
and the Care OF Watches.
When on one Of those cold mornings
last winter a man came to wind his
atch he broke the handspring. AMI then
he took the watch TO the jewelers.. say
ing incidentally as he handed the watch
over that he supposed more mainsprings
broke in winter than in summer.
But the jeweler said no: that. contrary
to the general impression, he thought
more mainsprings broke IN summer Ha
said that If you took a watch cut OF q
warm pocket and laid it on a cold mar
bic slab It might break the handspring,
but he thought that more mainsprings
were broken by electrical disturbances in
the air in summer than by cold in WIN
ter. He added that new handspring
might break the day after 1t was put in,
handspring being a very fragile, deli-
cate, and sensitive thing. If a watch
were allowed to run down it might on
being wound UP again keep a little diff
feTent time. due TO some slight variation
then In the springs tension.
As he was going to have a new main.
spring put In his watch, the owner
thought that he might as we'll at the
same time Rave the watch cleaned. II
had not been cleaned, he said. In about a
year and a half. The jeweler applied a
watchmaker's glass to his eye and OPEN
ed the watch and looked In. remarking
then that the watch was last cleaned
two years ago, in January, 1908 It seems
that when q matchmaker cleans a watch
he marks upon ii the date Of the clean-
ing in an out-0f-the-way place. lightly
and In characters so small that they are
not discernible except with the aid of
magnifying glass.
This watch. the ieweler went on to
say, had kept In good condIt.cn though IL
had not been cleaned for two years, but
1t would be we'll to have il cleaned now,
and II was wise to look after E watch at
the end of a year and a half There Is a
watchnaker's saying that a man who
neglects his watch does so at his own
expense. meaning that though tho own
er may thus fancy himself saving some
thing. yet in the end 1t may cost him
more for repairs.

HUNT FOR FOREIGN MARKETS.
Results of work Done by Manufae-

When the National Association OF Manu-
saoturers was organized. in 1893. The tCta!
value of domestic exports Of the United
States was 1898 10000, OF which but $685.
100000, only 2s per cent. was classed as
manufactures completed or partly COM
pleted. In 1908 the value OF the domestic
merchandise exported was sl.s34.oOO0O0. OF
which s760.O0O.00O. or 20 per cent OF the
total, was classed as manufactures COM
pleted or partly completed.
Among the many influences which have
been at work TO bring about this great
Increase IL is not too much, says Ameri-
can Industries, to claim for the orSaniza-

its first important lines of work was the
quest for accurate knowledge as to the

These markets. far and near. were
studied at first hand by manufacturers
themselves or their direct represent
atives. Individuals and delegations were
sent to Mexico. South America, and the
far East to make Investigations and re-

The influence Of the organization was
also exercised in advocating the estab-
lishment Of a department OF commerce

THE MINISTER'S SAMPLES.
Feliow-guest at Hotel Didn't Know
what He Was Getting.

From the Detroit News.
A minister who had been doing mis-
sionary work in India recently returned
to this country for a visit He was a
guest at well known hotel where
everything pleased him except the alb
senee of the very torrid sauces and spices
TO which he had become accustomed In
the Far East. Fortunately he had
brought with him a supply of his IA
vorite condiments. and by arranging with
the head waiter these were placed on
his table. One day another guest saw
the appetizing bottle on his nelghbor's
table and asked the waiter 20 give him
some of that sauce
Tn sorry. sir said the waiter .'but
It is the private property of this gentle
man"
The minister however. overheard the
others request and told the waiter to
pass the bottle
The stranger poured some OF the mix
ture on his meat and took a liberal
mouthful. After a moment he turned
with tears In his eyes to the minister.
You're minister Of the gospel9''
Yes. sir
And you preach the doctrine Of ever
lasting fire?'
Yes" admitted the minister.
Well, you're the first minister I ever
met who carried samples"
