A noteworthy feature of the COM
pany's new business for the year, in
addition to the increased volumn,
was the adaptation of life policies to
commercial needs, partnership and
corporation purposes, where death
would entail financial loss upon sur
vivors. More than $S,000,000 of in
surance was issued by the company
last year for partnerships and cor
porations for the protection of sur
viving partners and to corporations
for their partial indenification
against the loss by death of officials
or other highly valuable members of
the organizations, such as general
managers, superintendents, and gen.
orally those whose services contrib
ute largely to the success of the COM
panies.
The Company'S reserve for the
protection of all risks is calculated
upon the highest standards, and eX-
ceeds in this regard the maximum
requirements of any state in which
it operates.
During the year 1911 the factors
from which surplus is derived all
yielded large returns-the saving
from expense margin, lower mortal
ity than was expected and provided
for, and interest earnings largely
in excess of reserve requirements,
enabled the trustees to make an in
creased dividend award.
Its members of which there are
many in this community, will be-
yond question derive great satisfac-
ton from the fact that while the
company is growing rapidly in every
respect, with assets over one hun
dred and twenty-siX millions and in
surance of five hundred and thirty
two millions, this growth is neither
through an increase in cost to Its
members nor reduction In their
security.
The company is earnestly desirous
that every economy consistent with
the proper conduct of its business
shall be exercised. It's underlying
purpose is that the interests of each
policy holder shall be impartially and
fairly considered. 1t means that
every policy holder in the Penn Mutt
ual Life Insurance Co. is entitled to
and actually gets, a square deal.
The Penn Mutual Life Insurance
Co. has behind it a record OF honor
able dealing and steady growth for
sixty-four years and this Is due not
only to the high character of the
management, but also to those who
come into direct contact with the
policy holders, the agency force,
Messrs. Bourne G. Durham of Phila-
delphia, have general supervision
over eastern and Central Pennsylva-
mia.
In this section Messrs. Hittinger &
Ham, White Mills, Pa, have very
efficiently represented the company as
district agents for many years.

ZEMO MAKES ASTONISHING
ECZEMA CURES.
I'VE Prove It."

Every day ZEMO gives relief and
cures men, women and children in
every city and town in America whose
skins are on fire with torturing
ECZEMA rashes and other itching,
burning, scaly, and crusted skin and
scalp humors.
ZEMO and zEMO (ANTISEPTICJ
SOAP, two refined preparations will
give you such quick relief that you
will feel like a new person.
We give you three reasons why we
recommend and endorse ZEMO and
ZEMO SOAP for all skin and scalp
eruptions.
1st. They are clean, scientific prep
arations that give universal satisfac-
ton and are pleasant and agreeable
to use at all times.
End. They are not experiments,
but are proven cures for every form
of skin or scalp affections whether
on infants or grown persons.
Bird. They WORK on a new princi-
pie. They do not glaze over the sur
face, but they penetrate to the seat of
the trouble and draw the germ life
from underneath the skin and destroy
it. In this way a complete cure is
effected in any case of SKIN OR
SCALP ERUPTION.

The Blessed Virgin Sodality of St
Johns II. G. church held a reception
on Sunday evening in the church at
1880. The reception was in charge
of Rev. Father John O'Toole, as
sisted by Father j. J. Griffin and
Father Burke. There were sixty-five
candidates for membership in the
Blessed Virgin Sodality and they
were received into the order. The
Blessed Virgin Marys Altar was
beautifully decorated with potted
plants, carnations and roses, a pro-
fusion of candles and colored lights
making a very beautiful scene. The
Altar was also decorated with ropes
of smilaX. The music consisted of
special hymns for the occasion. The
service was opened by Rev. Father
j. J. Griffin, a former Honesdale boy,
with a sermon on the Virgin Mother
of God, which was perhaps the best
and most impressive sermon ever de-
livered in st. Johns church. Father
Griffin is an eloquent speaker and
has charge of a parish in Wilkes
Barre. The Benediction of the
Holy Sacrament was given by Father
Griffin. assisted by Father O'Toole
and Father Burke. At the close of
the service Father O'Toole spoke a
few words of congratulation to the
Sodality. After the services were
over the congregation greeted Faith
er Griffin, who has a host of friends
and former acquaintance here, hav-
ing been educated in the Honesdale
High school and spent most of his
life in this parish.
The Blessed Virgin Sodality has a
membership of three hundred and
fifty members and is composed of
the young ladies of the church.
