Three In One--
Absolute Security!
Most Liberal Policy Contract!

LOWoSt FoSSlpl6 SO8tI
In the face Of existing world wide
financial conditions, the Mutual Bene-
fit Life Insurance Company announces
its third substantial increase in divi-
dends on premium paying policies in
force on January l, 1915, Of about
20 per cent over the scale effective
up to December 8. 1914. In calling
attention to the facts that the divi-
dend scale was materially increased
In 1910 and again in 1912, and that
two special dividends were paid out
In 1913 and 1914, respectively, the
management modestly announces ITO
our knowledge the record Is one
which has not been equalled by any
other life insurance company" AS
an illustration of the increase, we will
take the case Of man As years Of
age, who took out $4,000 policy in
1914. The agent very likely told him
that according to the scale then ef-
fective, he might expect a reduction
Of 1914 in the premium in 1915. but
in reality the reduction will be $12.24.
A proportionate increase applies to
all other ages and all kinds of poll
cies except term. The foregoing in
formation Is given especially for the
benefit Of the hundreds of Mutual
Benefit policy holders in York coun-
ty, who have learned by experience
Of the goodness and liberality Of this
company.

BILLY is awfully naughty. I don't
know what to do with him. He dis
obeys me, he Is bad to his playmates
he acts like a little fiend to the maid
What shall I do? have tried spank
ing him, / have sent him to bed
have shut him up in a dark closet
None of those things seem to do a bi'
of good. What shall I do?"
While the father was thinking 1t over
the kid himself Clipped in with a
suggestion:
why don't you cut my head off, he
inquired.

mol FuRrHER QUESTIONS ASKED.

II is sometimes dangerous to ask too many ques'
tons and to find out too much. Mr. Alba b, John.
son, president of the Baldwin Locomotive Works,
was before the United States Commission on In
dustrial Affairs few days ago, and when asked
by the chairman how many men were employed by
the great establishment over which he presided he
put the counter query:
"Do you refer to normal or psychological
times?"
''Both, " suggested the chairman
''Under normal business conditions the Bald
win Locomotive Works employs from $4,000 to
1880 men," was the reply. "At present we
are employing 5000. -
Now one would think that the most natural thing
in the world would be for the chairman to ask
President Johnson why it had been thought nee
essary to drop ten eleven thousand men from the
payroll But no such question was asked. Obvious
ly the inquiry would have been attended with an
unpleasant reply. The fact is that those ten or
eleven thousand workers have lost their jobs be-
cause of FreeTrade depression and stagnation
That was why no further questions were asked
along that line of investigation
