The Maryland Life
Insurance Company
A Southern Company

The Maryland Life Insurance Company of Baltimore,
having been founded in 1865 with the SINGLE exception
Of a small St. Louis company the oldest life insurance com
pany now in south of Mason and Dixons Lime
1t has always been a Southern Company so far as the
field of it's operations concerned and today doing buSl
less almost exclusively in Southern States.
It's Officers and Directors all born south OF Mason
and Dixon S Line.
Its funds are to very large extent invested in Southern
securities Over per of all its bonds stocks and
mortgages Southern. Indeed all of its mortgages are
secured by the pledge of Southern properly.
Probably over 90 per of it's policy holders were
residents Southern States when they insured Today only
a very small minority live north of Maryland
OF the more than 81 100000 paid organization to
policy holders of death claims, surrender val
ues endowments, dividends, and the like prob
ably 80 per cent has been paid to Southern people
The Maryland Life may therefore claim emphatcally
to be Southern Company in every of the word. But
it should itself Southern people not only for the
special mentioned but because of general reasons
that appeal thoughtful persons everywhere. 1t should
commend itself
BECAUSE it is not experiment Founded in 1865, it
has had successful business of ftytwo years
BECAUSE has larger amount of admitted assets for
every $1,000 in force than large majority of
the life companies of the country can show.
BECAUSE its assets not only adequate but
seryatiycy invested in securities of high grade which at
the same time yield good interest return
BECAUSE it conseryativey limits its operations to few
States and careful in the selection of its risks The
age mortality for years past has only been about
per the expected very satisfactory showing
Tor Company fifty years Old This favorable mortality
much for its policy holders
BECAUSE strives be economical in its expenditures
very important matter to policy holders.
BECAUSE while it is ready to resist fraud yet in all its
history it has had suit in court death claim
a record which is believed to be unique
BECAUSE its methods have always been prudent and
conservative.
BECAUSE it is very consderae in its dealings with its
policy holders thus binding the policy holder to the Com
Pany.
In short, the Maryland Life is a Company that appeals
everyone who desires sound insurance based financial
strength prudent management and careful consideration
of the real interests of policy holders But for many special
Company that should make peculiarly strong
appeal everyone whose home is in the South

Beams Made of Redwood.

Wood is now rapidly supplanting
steel beams in industrial plant coma
struction, as may be seen in a large
paper pulp mill which is now being
erected. What are known as laminat-
ed wooden trusses are being put in by
a Chicago construction company hav-
ing the contract for the mill. The
largest trusses used are 96 feet long,
there being six Of these, and the ma
terial is a redwood. There are p so
foot trusses and seven 64-foot trusses.
Twenty thousand feet of the material
is redwood and the remainder south
ern pine. The redwood is used in the
part. of the cut work that is directly
above the big watts in the mill, this
wood being considered more adapta-
BILE to stand the action of the steam
from the watts.

Match for lacks in Pie.

The question as to whether per-
son who finds a black tack in piece
of BURBERRY pie is entitled to recover
damages from a restaurant company
for gross negligence in not detecting
the presence of the tack in the pie,
has been passed on by the supreme
court of Massachusetts in Ask VS..
Childs Dining Hall company, in which
the court ruled for the defendant and
held that the plaintiff had failed to
sustain the burden of proof in estab-
fishing either direct or inferential evil
dence of negligence. In pointing out
the difficulties confronting the defend
ant in keeping small black tacks out
Of it's blueberry pies, the court said:
"The tack was very small. It was so
tiny that it readily might have become
imbedded in a BURBERRY. If so, its
color and shape were such that it
would naturally escape the most care
full scrutiny. 1t might as readily have
stuck into BURBERRY before it came
to the possession of the defendant as
Ill IGIWdIu. Liz cal ClCoouCEoo VI oOA1N
person for whom the defendant in no
way was responsible might have
caused it's presence in the pie. The
maker of the basket, some previous
owner of the berry, or some other
third person, is as likely to have been
the direct cause of the tack being in
the pie as the defendant or those for
whose conduct it is liable"

LAND OF LOST CIVILIZATION
Abundant Proof That Africa Was at
One Time Peopled by Races of
High Intelligence.

Evidences are multiplying that At
RIGA contains the secrets Of a great
civilization. At present it is partially
a savage land, given over to savage
animals and equally savage men, and
it is difficult to conceive that in the
mists of antiquity this continent was
peopled by intelligent communities.
In the last century great deal was
learned about this dark continent, and
the South African company did much
to add to our store of knowledge.
The expedition of this company into
Mashonalan1, in search of gold, pass
ed the wonderful ruins of Zinbaye,
nearly 200 miles due west of Sofala,
on the Indian ocean.
\ They have been attributed to the
Moors, the Phoenicians and the Per
slams, and it is said by the old chron-
iclers that there were inscriptions,
which modern psychologists, have set
out to decipher.
These structures were reared of
granite, hewn into small blocks lit
tie larger than a brick, and put to-
gether without mortar. In all the
walls are seen two or three courses
Of masonry, where the granite blocks
are inserted in zigzag fashion.
There seems to be no doubt that
they were erected as places OF de-
Tense, and also for the smelling, stOr-
ing and protection of gold, copper and
other metals.
On removing quantity of the sur
face rubbish inside, there was found
what was evidently three large circu-
lar roasting floors, formed Of burnt
fireclay and slightly concave. There
were also remains of Stag, and other
evidences that the place had been used
for smelling metals.
It is certain that the last thing CIV
ilized men would expect to find in this
region, where the natives belong to
the lower stages of human develop
ment, are these great rock structures
betokening the existence of former
civilization amid these wilds.
The natives have not even any ira
dition as to the origin of the ruins.
There are many facts proving their
great antiquity, and among them the
circumstances that at one of the great
ruins at Zimbaye an irOnWoOd tree,
which was undoubtedly hundreds of
years old, had risen through the wall
and split it.

Colo Kills Fish.

1t has been proved that sudden cold
sometimes causes the death of thou
sands of fish in the shallow waters Of
the tropics and srbtropics. Many spe-
cies are so chilled as to become help
less, and are either killed directly by
drowning or are washed ashore in a
comatose state. The phenomenon is
known locally as ''freezing," although
the temperature of the water may be
several degrees above the freezing
point.

GETTING Hid of Colds.

The easiest and quickest way to get
rid of cold is to take Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy This preparation has been in use for
many years and it's value fully proven. No
matter what remedy you use, however, care
must be taken not to contract second cold be-
foreyou have recovered from the first one, and
there is serious danger os this. A man of mid
die age or older should go to bed and stay in bed
until fully recovered. It is better to stay in
bed three days at the start than three weeks
later on.

Proper Care of Cellar.

Cellars will acquire a musty odor
after being closed for some time. To
remove dampness as we'll as to disin-

lime on the floor and close up the
cellar for a few days. Then open the
windows and let in the air until the
chloride of lime odor disappears and
your cellar will be ready for storing
vegetables.

Dreadful Couch Cured.

A severe cold is often followed by a
rough cough for which Chamberlains Cough
Remedy has proven especially valuable. Mrs
F. W. Olsen, Marysville, Mo-, writes: about
two years ago my little boy Jean caught a
severe cold and coughed dreadfully for days.
I tried number Of cough medicine but nothing
did him any good until l gave him Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy. 1t relieved his cough
right away and before he had finished taking
one bottle he was cured. I think it is just fine
for children.'
