A Man With a Level Head.
j. Nj. STROUP

A well known and level headed
citizen, with whom 1 had had talk
several years ago, and explained some
of the special and exclusive benefits
incorporated in all Mutual Benefit
contracts, as compared with the m
tracts Of all other companies, nd
who assured me that he expect to
apply for insurance later and Id
certainly see me, called at my of. q
few days ago and said: "The word got
out recently that I was thinking about
taking out some insurance and as a
result, q number of agents represent
ing different companies, have been to
see me. l told each that I wanted
insurance all right, but had fully de-
termined that it would be the Mutual
Benefit kind. My assertion did not
seem to convince them. They tried
good and one or two claimed his
was cheaper-would cost less-but
none claimed theirs to be better.
have called to make application for
a Mutual Benefit Policy" or course
the application was made.
A WORD TO YOU
1t is probable that you also, are
thinking Of buying life insurance. II
you are not, the best interests OF your
family, yourself or your estate, de-
mands that you should be, and your
best interests demand that you should
look before you leap" as the above
referred to citizen did. He got the
BEST there is in life insurance, and
why should you not do so? You are
under no obligation to insure with the
man who "sees you first" unless con-
vinced after examining the contract
offered, and the past record Of his
company, that he offers you more for
your money than you can get else
where You are the individual that
will pay the freight.

s1o,ooo,ooO TITANIC SUIT
FIFTY LAWYERS REPRESENT zoe
PERSONS IN COURT.
White Star Line Contends Its Liab0-
ity 10 Limited TO
100000.

New York. Jan. 16.-Fifty lawyers
who hope to obtain for their cheats
more than $lo,O00,0O0 damages for
loss of life and property on the
steamer Titanic are arrayed against
attorneys for the White Star line in
The United States district court, the
expiration of the time limit set by
The court for filing suits being up.
The limit, however, was extended to
February II.
The White Star line contends that
It's entire liability is limited under
the United States statutes to less
than 100000, the value Of recognized
wreckage and passage money. Amer.
lean claimants allege that the line
cannot claim this limitation, because
It was itself responsible for the loss
Of life by reason of personal negli.
gence.
If their assertion in this respect is
sustained, the claimants will recover
full damages, but even If this claim
Is not upheld, the contention of A. L..
Brougham, representing 200 claimants,
Is that the White Star line liability
can only be limited by the provisions
of the British law, which would COM
pei the company to pay total damages
of about $3,0OO,O00.
