Obituary,

The Rev. William Clyde died in
Phoenix on June at the age of S5
years. He was born and educated in
Scotland and came to this country a
number of years ago. He held pas
torates in British Columbia, the Will
lamette valley and the Rogue River
valley, and did splendid work as one
of the pioneer missionaries. With a
poise and dignity which held the re-
spect of all who knew him he was
possessed of a depth of love and un-
derstanding which also won their
love, and his passing will be deeply
mourned. The funeral services were
held at 2 o'clock this afternoon from
the Phoenix Presbyterian church.

Harry.

Yes. great deal OF the country is

there Is only a single track railway
running through Turkey and Syria.
Ihen. too, the water supply In that part
OF the world is never any too good or
TOO plentiful at the best. In fact, II is
just these conditions that lead many
people to believe that Turkey can not
send big enough army and big enough
SUPPLIES to capture the Canal and Egypt.
furthermore, the Canal Is fortified with
many Dig guns and guarded by many
English and Egyptian soldiers. Another
thing to remember is that Indian troops
under English officers are fighting their
way up the Tigris river, which is over
there, in that part OF Turkey which IL

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 frst day of February, 1s43. The
Mutual Life. therefore. claims to be
the oldest life insurance company In
America. From the beginning 1t has
been purely mutual legal reservs
company, writing only standard busi-
ness on satisfactory medical exam
inatlon.
In 1915 II paid policyholders a total
OF $6I97S,S29.32. II is noteworthy
that this great sum exceeded the
amount received directly from policy
holders in the way of premiums by
$8,723, ,036.35, The balance sheet for
1915 shows a contingency reserve on
the 3lst OF December of $14,625.57S.l6.
yi ThlS was an nGreass ssS eyer the pre-, e.
that year also. there had been an In
crease in this item OF $3.50, ,lOS.e7,
making total increase IN the two
years of $3.65s.072.94.
The new insurance paid for in 1915.
including dividend additions was tl4S.
Lio.ul. The insurance obtained by "divi-
dend additions" amounted in 1913 to
N.S2l.4S3. Policies already in force were
increased during the wear to the amount
OF S1,989. $50. In addition to this. policies
previously terminated were revived to
the amounted OF &4.7l5,e54. This makes
the total of new insurance placed upon
the books during the year H60,SS2, ,l46.
1t will be noted in the balance sheet
that the cash on hand at the close of
the year was 81. .507. 1876. The increase
Is due to the fact that Just at the close
OF the year mortgage of $1,000. 900 was
paid Off in cash
The real estate holdings Of the COM
pany at the close of 1915 amounted to
t2l.bT.l65, which was only 3h per cent of

The Newest Discovery i'm Chemistry.

This Is recent discovery Of Doctor
Pierce, who is head OF the 1nvalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute at Buffa-
10, N. Y. Experiments at DR.. Pierce's
Hospital for several years proved that
there is no other ellminator of uric
acid that can be compared to It. For

inflammation--as backache, scaldinE

as sediment In the urine, or IL uric

are always obtained in cases OF acute

rapidly disappear.

Because, II they can capture the

travey between the allies and India,
China and Japan; unless the allies
ships go all the way around Cop OF
Good Hope away down there at the
tip end OF Africa, or make the long
journey across the Atlantic ocean,
through the Panama Canal and across
the Pacific. Another thing. England
has rich possessions in Egypt and
northern Africa. and Germany and Tur-
key would consider IL big victory II
they could capture Egypt, particularly
Turkey, because Turkey feels that
much OF her former power in Egypt
has been taken away by England. The

Doubts as to whether money con-

pect kidney or bladder trouble, send

scribe symptoms. DR. Pierce's chemist

Note: - "Anuric" is thirty-seven
times more active than lithia in elimi-
mating uric acid, and is a harmless but
reliable chemical compound that may
be safely given to children, but should
be used only by grown-ups who ac-
tually wish to restore their kidneys
to perfect health, by conscientiously
using one box-or more in extreme
cases--as "Anuric" (thanks to Doctor
Pierce's achievement) is by far the
most perfect kidney and bladder cor
rector. DR.. Pierces reputation is back
