There is not on earth a locality in

dance and of better quality than in J

few diseases. Nothing more profita
ble could be engaged in. t
There is at least on government of- d

ie intruder summarily ejected. One
f his neighbors estimated that the
eld would yield a revenue of at least
io a Sunday during the dandelion
eason.
The London Lancet finds that the
hesnut is the most digestible nut, h
nd can not only take the place of the j
otato, as in France, where chesnuts, y
oiled and mashed like potatoes, make
delicious dish, but in reality they
re a more perfect form of food. Ae.
ording to the Lancet's analysis of v<
ie potato and the chestnut, the latter
ontains less water, more proteid,
tore fat and starch, but less mineral
iatter than the potato, and is more v

ta, also, is nutritive and digestive V
ualities are greatest when baked or P
)asted.

As To Life
It might be well for those who are
thinking of taking out a life insurance
policy to read the following extracts
from a talk to the agents of the Pacific
Mutual Life:
Have you stopped to consider what a
gem you have in your hands in the
Ideal policy of the Pacific?
Do you realize what it means to offer
a man life, health and accident in one
policy and to add to that, payment of
the principal of the policy for perma
nent disability?
Where can you find such a policy?
Who has it for sale?
Who can compete with you for a
moment?
Did you ever think that one might
need insurance money more in life
than in death?
How many thousands lose their in
surance through inability to pay pre
miums caused by accident or sickness?
How can you insure your insured I
when wages stop and expenses in- I
crease
How can one buy medicine and food i
and pay doctor bil and insurance pre- i
miums while sick with fever or laid up I
with a broken leg?
How can he provide for his family I
and himself for a long series of years
if he becomes totally and permanently
disabled by accident or through illness?
The ideal policy answers all these
questions, solves all these problems.
It costs less money than life and ae
:ident combined, and life and health
ombined, and it gives the full benefit c
)f each and adds full payment during
life of the face of the policy for total i
md permanent disability.
It pays the face value to the family 4
