NEW SLOGAN
 TO STOP FLY

Health Officer pr. William H. Coon has fired the opening gun in the seasons campaign against the troublesome fly, in a circular an- nouncement issued this morning at his office in the Health and Charities building. pr. Coon's interesting statement in regard to the Swat the Fly movement follows:
 At this season of the year, our slogan should be not Swat the Fly but rather Stop the Fly" and the best way to stop the fly is to pre- vent it's appearance on the scene. The fly is a direct product of filth; for the female fly selects piles of filth as the most fitting place to lay her eggs as fifth is food for the larvae or maggot as it is matched from the egg.
 The time elapsed from the laying of the eggs by the female fly to the development of the fly is little over seven days. This makes it necessary if we are to prevent the appearance of flies, to remove all collections o1 filth at least once each week.
 It is much easier and safer to pre-. vent the breeding of flies than te destroy them after they have enter. ed the homes, market, restaurant. and places where food is sold ol eaten. Flies are carriers of diseas and the proprietor of a clean marke or restaurant will not have them or the premises.
 Citizens will help themselves ant others by informing the Health De partment of the markets, shops, ol restaurants where there are an un necessary number of flies. Citizen will also help themselves and oth
 CTS by having removed from thei | premses any collections of filth O. l refuse in which flies may breed"

MUTUAL L|FE'S FINE
 FINANCIAL REPORT

The Mutual Life Insurance company of New York, which has the distinction of being the oldest life insurance com pany in America. issued in 1919 by far the largest volume of insurances it had ever placed in twelve month period, the amount being s354.422,133, as against $2OS. .92O.389 in 1918. And its total insurance in force on the last day of the year footed the stupendous sum of s2.0S9,171.357. The Mutual Life does no business in foreign countries, it's writings being confined to the United States and Canada. Since the com pany writes no group insurance, no in duStrial insurance. and no sub stan dard insurance but confines itself strictly to standard business of the highest class. the great increase in the amount it issued in 1919 was the more remarkable.
 The company, as its name implies, is purely mutual, and in 1919 1t paid to policyholders in dividends the great sum of s22.407.417. Since the beginn- ing of its business in 1S43, these divi dends to policyholders aggregated the vast sum of s313,39S.31T.
 Notwithstanding the influenza nor tality. the extraordinary amounts paid for war time taxes, the maintenance in 1919 of the 1918 dividend schedule, and the increased cost of all items entering into the conduct of business, the com pany's contingency reserve, or surplus, increased S3.S20,139 and on the last day of the year was s19,551.215.
