COMPANY
HOLDS BIG BALANCE
Mutual Life Claims to Be Oldest
Organization of Its Sort in
America.

The Mutual Insurance Company OF
New York issued its first policies on
the first day of February, 1s43. The
Mutual Life. therefore, claims to be
the oldest life insurance company In
America. From the beginning 1t has
been a purely mutual legal reserve
company, writing only standard bust
ness on satisfactory medical exam
ination.
In 1915 It paid policyholders a total
of $67.97S.329.32. 1t is noteworthy
that this great sum exceeded the
amount received directly from policy
holders in the way of premiums by
$S,723, ,036.35, The balance sheet for
1915 shows a contingency reserve on
the 31st OF December of $14.625,5 ,579.16.
Jhls was an increase over the pre-
that year also there had been an in
crease in this item OF $3.50. 1O8.s7,
making total increase IN the two
years OF $3.65S.072.94.
The new insurance paid for in 1915.
including dividend additions was $l4S.
lo.nl. The Insurance obtained by rdivi-
dend additions" amounted in 1915 TO
A.S%l.4S3. Policies already In force were
increased during the wear to the amount
or S'.9S9. $50. In addition to this. policies
previously terminated were revived to
the amounted Of &.7l5,9A. This makes
the total OF new insurance placed upon
the books during the year $160,SS2, ,l45.
1t will be noted in the balance sheet
that the cash on hand at the clos~ OF
the year was s1l.507 1876. The increase
Is due to the fact that just at the close
OF the year mortgage of 100000 was
paid off in cash
The real estate holdings Of the COM
pany at the close OF 1915 amounted to
SH .5I@.l65. which was only 3ih per cent OF

The Newest Discovery i'm Chemistry.

This Is a recent discovery OF Doctor
Pierce, who is head OF the 1nvaiids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute at Buffa-
10, N. Y. Experiments at DR.. Pierce's
Hospital for several years proved that
there Is no other eliminator OF uric
acid that can be compared to It. For
those easily recognized symptoms of
inflamma tion--as backache, scaling
urine and frequent urination, as well
as sediment in the urine, or If uric
acid in the blood has caused rheuma-
tsm. II Is simply wonderful how sure
ly "Anuric" acts. The best of results
are always obtained in cases of acute
rheumatism in the joints, in gravel
and gout. and invariably the pains
and stiffness which so frequently and
persistently accompany the disease
rapidly disappear

lhen too, the water supply In that part

just these conditions that lead many
people to believe that Turkey can not

many big guns and guarded by many

thlng to remember Is that Indian troops
