THE PACIFIC MUTUAL Life Insurance Cnmpany of California Organized 1868 on "Old Line" Plan. Read what one who is recognized au thority on the subject, has to say: "Of late the magazines and daily papers have had much to say by way of criti cism of certain Life Insurance Compa nies, and especially with regard to the Legal Organization of such Companies, and of the manner of their control. These CRITICISMS do not apply to The Pacific Mutual, but DEMON STRATE the Truth of the Assertion that 'for POLICY-HOLDERS The Pacific Mutual has the BEST Legal organization." It is not controlled by ONE or Two men, having no pecuniary interest or responsibility save as policy holders, or recipients of salary; But it is contro'led by a BOARD of fifteen Directors, not mere dummies, but Stock holders in their own right, holding a large amount of the Company's stock, and Policyholners as well. The Direc tors of the Company are men of high Financial and Commercial standing, and are by LAW made RESPONSIBLE for the acts of the Officers of the CORPO RATION. "The Company has a capital stock of $500,000 Fully paid up in GOLD coin, but while this Capital and the Stock holders' responsibility afford to Policy holders the GREATEST possible Secur ity, it Costs participating Policyholders NOTHING, but every dollar paid into the Company by them and the ACCU MULATION thereon, is applied to their BENEFIT. There is no Other LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY trans acting business in America whose Pol icyholders, by Legal enactment, are so Safe-guarded as are the Policyholders of The Pacific Mutual." cU on or write to me, ROBERT NoRms, Genl.

Depot Newberry Steam Laundry Co Consider The Rye. John A. Moroso in Richmond News Leader. My son, if thou desirest the real straight talk, hearken to these words for they are begotten by experience and he that writeth driveth the sprinkler these days. For is it not wri:ten that we shall not hide the light of our noses under a bushel lest we suffocate? There fore him that followeth after the rosy (wine) in moderation, breatheth easy in his old age and his beak astoundeth .loo the children of the fathers when he goeth into the highways. But, my son, if thou followest after the i 'sy with a thirst that reacheth down to thy heels and thou persuad est thyself that is thy duty to keep up with the output of them that make booze, then shalt thou become a light house amid thy possessions and a beak-on for the tank ships. Consider then the Rye. It waveth in the field and is cut down and crushed. It cometh forth in bottles, the sons of men absorb it, and the sons of men wave even as did the crop in the fields. And after the bloom has been upon the Rye, it disappearth and reappear eth -again, even as many men have testified without speaking. If thou hearest the pounding of ice wrapped in an old towel of linen and thou ieest thine friend gathering the herb that is called mint, make thyself comfortable in a large chair and con thy book diligently. But when there is the sound of a tinkii:., and a fragrance in the air, my son, look up and examine thy strength. Say to thyself: Can I take one of these, even one, and crawl back on the sprinkler? Thine heart will tell thee truly, my son, but if thou liest to thyself and crawl down and take two, then shalt thou go the way of the weak and the forward. For it is written by the ancient Sirach, in a book of great wisdom, that juleps drunk in gladness and measurably drunk, are life to a man, but he that caileth for more, even crying as did Oliver of the surname Twist, he shall be missing from the banquet photograph, for cameras take not scenes beneath the table as well as above. Hearken ye and pause ye in your primpings and preenings, for there is wisdom in him that quits bediking to listen to advice. Hearken then to the message of the Rye! It springeth up and beautifieth the valleys. It swayeth in the gentle breezes. It absorbeth the dew of night and the June showers. It ca:cheth up the tears of May and seepeth in the sunshine and the moon shine finally captureth it. It is full of beauty and strength, and it refreshes the eye and lightens the heart, but when it cometh winking at thee in a glass, my son, I beseech thee to touch it lightly. For if thou stickest with it until far in the night, then shalt thou awake with a dead ness. Thou shalt cry out for water from the well and yearn for much water that is cold. Thine eyes shall be red and thy brain at the point of boiling. Thou shalt be as the aspen leaf and thy fall to earth shall be an early one. And when thy fall comes the sons of the fathers shall gather in the streets and cry: Behold there goes a shooting star; ~ior the light thou cans't not hide beneath a bushel will make one final flare in thine passing and thou wilt depart with a mocking A Way We've All Got. John Bunker had grown old. He was not "up" to much, except to sit by the fireside and doze. But John hlimnself thought differently, says an exchange. He was a man of ideas. was John. One morning he laid down the newspaper with a t.houghtful look ont his face. Mrs. Bunker was absent, and the opportunity was favorable fir ietting loose a new idea upon his daughter. "I have been reading,"said he, "of a woman that was kind o' famous amongst her neighbors for being lev.. el minded and quick to see into things. They used to go to her for information and advice of all sorts what to do when the chimney smok ed and how to keep Brother Bill from Make Your Own Ice Cream. There has just been placed in all the grocery stores, a new preparation called JeII-O Ice Cream POWDER which is meeting with great favor, as it enables everyone to make ice cream in their own home with verylittletrouble.Everythinginthe packageformak ing two quarts of delicious ice cream.

By-an'-by outsiders heard of it and began to bring her their troubles so many of 'em that she had to charge a shilling a head for giving advice; and at last accounts she was pop'lar and respectd, and getting rich. "Now, you see, in that little para graph there's an idea hove out that a good many might profit by. Say som man that's got judgment and had experience-me, for instance was to sort o' set up as a-a general' adviser. There's not a day goes by but people miss chances, or run their necks into nooses, from sheer ignorance and want of somebody to tell 'em what to do. Think of the benefit I could be to 'em. "I tell you it would be a profitable profession, too, after a man got a start at it," added Mr. Bunker, warm ing to his theme. "A shilling's worth of advice don't sound much-there's nobody would begrudge twelve pen nies for being told what to do when he was at a standstill, as you might say-but the pounds would count up. And once a man's reputation spread, and he had regular customers fetch ing their .roubles to him-" But at that Mr. Bunker stopped short. Mrs. Bunker entered, some what noisily and with a rush, as her habit was, and seemed even less at ease than common. She dropped into a chair and farned herself violently for a moment. "John," she said, "what do you think? That old yellow hen is sitting again! I'd give five shillings out of my own money to anybody that'll tell me how to break up her nest so it'll stay broke up!" Mr. Bunker started, flushed, and cast a shamefaced glance toward his daughter. Happily, slhe did not speak or look in his direction. Yet it was some time before he could command himself to reply: "I-I wish I knew how to help ye, Sarah," he said, speaking low and meekly. Special Rates Via A. C. L.
