In attempting to draw it from his pocket it exploded, tearing away three of his fingers. The three lagers were amputated.

To the Trustees of Second Methodist Church, Gentlemen: — Don’t allow 'your* church to pay 8 cents per pound for wood. If they buy 100 pounds of White Lead in kegs they get 88 pounds of White Lead and 12 pounds of wood; but when they buy L. & M. Paint they get a full gallon of paint that won’t wear off for 10 or 15 years, because L. & M. Zinc hardens L. & M. White Lead and makes L. & M. Paint wear like Iron. 4 gallons L. & M. Paint mixed with 3 gallons Linseed Oil will paint a moderate sized house. L. & M. costs only $1.20 per gallon. C. S.

Two very important features which tend to show why thig company stands so well with the insuring public, * and is making such rapid progress, are that its ratio of ac tual to expected death losses was only 81.8 per cent., while its gross rate of interest earned on invested assets par .value, was 4.85 per cent. These two items show the care with which'risks are selected and the care with which funds are invested. Undei stand, these ratios are for the entire business and do not cover a few selected risks or in vestments. A feature showing economy of managements is in the statement that the ratio of Insurance expense to expense income or premium loading was 80.7 per cent., while the ratio of Insurance and investment expenses to expense income or premium loading was 87.1 per cent. These figures explain in part' how it is possible for the company to show that it has received from policy-holders since orginization the sum of $279,421,621.53 and return ed to them in the way'of death claims, dividends and sur rendered policies, and now holds for their future pay ments the sum of $328,095,643.61 or the enormous sum of $48,674,022.08 more than it received.Southeastern Underwriter, Atlanta, Feb. 1906.
