SURE TO CATCH HIM
EITHER GOING OR COMING

The Ordinary Life Contract Of the
Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Com
pany is. without exception. the most
issued by any Company In
the world. when taken on what is
known as the Aeeelerative Endowment
Plan. The plan was figured out by
Broomfield J. Miller. Actuary OF the
Mutual Benefit. in 1874. II appeals 10
any man who appreciates his obliga-
tion 10 protect those dependent on him
while they are not in position to pro-
tect themselves, and at the same time
realizes that after the time comes that
dependents no longer need protection
He May Need Protection Himself. II is
a contract under ~ Mich the holder is
absolutely sure to win, whether he
lives or not. provided. Of course, he
continues to annually arrange the COM
paratively small premium called for In
the contract: in other words he will
certainly catch the coon either going
or coming" II Is not practical to give
a detailed and satisfactory exposition
OF the plan within the space at my dis
posal; but il you are sufficiently inter-
ested in the protection OF both yourself
and your dependents TO ask for details
shall be pleased to show you" The
Mutual Benefit attaches at present. q
war clause to all policies issued on the
lives OF applicants between II and IS
years Of age. and in case the policy
holder enters the service OF the U. y.
an extra premium Of $3.50 on each
81. 900 Is due and payable for the first
year In service. whether the holder is
in the L. :. or France. II you are be-
tween IS and 10 there will be no war
clause.

| Spots in Finger NaiIs.-Considerab
Significance is attached to the condi-
tion known as leuconychia. or marble
nails. in which white spots show be-
meath the fingernails. A French ply
sician, DIR. X. Sabourand, finds that
this occurs almost exclusively in sub
jects OF low blood pressure and very
commonly among neurasthenics and In
persons tending to tuberculosis. 1t ap-
pears at all ages, though 1t Is most
common in young girls and women. In
melancholy young females, brooding
over such matters as loss Of hair or
growth OF hair on the lip, II indicates
lasting nervous disturbance. based
on some obscure organic trouble; In
young girls having eczemas and other
skin disorders the poor general health
manifested often ends in tuberculosis
after a few years: and in other cases
there IL some more or less distinct
general disturbance. Leuconychia gen.
orally persists for years, Its disappear
ance denoting improved health
Though less common in males 1t Is
even more suggestive. and Is found al
most entirely in young subjects tend
ing to tuberculosis. in neurasthenics
with phobias, and in old patients with
badness. White spots on the nails
give added seriousness to any obscure
constitutional ailment.

An eminent, Tnetallurgist. DR.. E. B.
Bigger. says that chemical research
| has endowed nickel with the power to
4: bring about the ruin or the triumph
! OF the greatest nations. II no nickel
were obtainablc. the whole machinery
and equipment Of modern armament
on sea and lard would go back with
one side almost to the days Of Nelson
and Napoleon"
The automobile (including. OF
course. the wholly indispensable mill
tary motortrucx and the "tank'D, the
airplane. the ballon airship and the
submarine are. says DR.. Biggar. the
ioffspring Of nickel and its alloys. The
modern dreadnought-even the great
guns il carries-would be impossible
without nickel.
He thinks t1at the main object OF
the German government in building
such merchant submarines" as the
Deutschland was to procure supplies
OF this precious war metal, which the
kaiser needs more than anything else
in the world. He may lose the war
for lack OF 1t.
| Nickel in itself is not very remark
able or OF much account. Adoption
OF it for coinage by our government
was mainly to create market use
for the metal. But, mixed In small
quantities with other substances, II
acts like veritablc philosophers
stone" transmitting them in magical
ways.
From , to per cent Of 1t added to
iron makes the latter wonderfully
hard and tough, almost rust-proof. and
nearly acid proof. Thus it gives i'm
pcnetrability to ship-armor. and rem
dcrs possible th' construction Of big
cannon relatively light in weight and
with tremendous striking power.
| Nickel steel Is used for almost every
kind OF machinery. Rails of this alloy
are cheaper at double the price than
rails of ordinary steel. because they
last so much longer. 1t has revolu-
tionizcd the building of bridges and
OF cities.
| Iron. when exposed TO heat, expands
greatly. So likewise does nickel. But,
for some reason as yet unexplained,
when Sc per cent Of nickel is added
to- iron. the resulting metal contracts
AT high temperatures.
| Nickel and iron are Of all metals tine
most magnetic. Yet. If the two be
mixed in certain proportions. the COM
bination has no magnetism at all!

can he drawn to n wire l-4O00th Of an
inch thick. And this wire can be
woven into cloth as pliable as silk.
ruriously enough. the ores Of the
sudbury district. in Ontario, furnish
nickel and copper in the very proper
tions required for Monel metal. so that
their output can he used direct from
the smelter.
No wonder that nickel has been
called the mystery metal" 1t Is in
very truth a miracle -worker.-Popular

EXPENSES UNDER ESTIMATES
Government Has More War Mono,
Than Il Can Use.

Government receipts and expendi'
lures for the first seven months oI
the fiscal year reported by the treas
ury ON January 81. show that actual
outlays have been far les than esti'
mates made last June. For ordinary
war purposes the government ha.
spent about s3.l5o.O00.O00 in tn:
seven months. although estimated ex
penses for twelve months were Sl2,
6,O0O,OUU. Loans to Allies, estimat-
ed for the year at something more
than six billion, have been S3.l4l.-
100000.
Thus. with the year more than
half gone. only about one-third OF
the estimates has been expended.
Expenditures are increasing month
ly as the war department shipping
board and other agencies make pay
ments on contracts let some time ago,
and il the same rate Of increase. as
reported for the last few months corr
tinues. the actual outlay between now
and next June 80, the end OF the ti!'-
cal year. would be about $1,000. 900,
900, including Allied loans.
Ordinary receipts in that time are
estimated at about $500. 900. 900. in
cluding s2.SOO. 100000 from internal
revenue. and s4O0. 100000 from war
savings stamps. Thus. making al
lowances for $4,000, 100000 now in
the general fund. and for 1880. .00C,
900 certificates Of Indebtedness out
standing. which must be redeemed by
June 8, the actual balance remaining
to be raised by bond issues or other
means would be somewhat less than
$4,000. 900. 900.
This figure makes no allowance for
expenses which may be incurred in
government management Of the rail-
roads and the proposed s50O,OO0, ,00O,-
900 revolving fund for that purpose
nor for the contemplated creation OF
Il 50O,000,000 government corpora
ton to finance private securities is
sues Elements Of uncertainty a SO
exist in the estimates Of expenses in
future months. particularly for the
war department, and In the revenues
to be gathered from incomes and cx-
cess profits under the war tax act

But even though he possesses every
