STANDARD OIL COMPANY (jufoesreBATU) Comparison New York Standard Policy and The Mutual Benefit Contract. The Mutual Benefit Policy cost much less and guarantees a great deal more Its cash value, loan and extention provisions become effective 2nd year instead of the vrd. We will even make a loan to assist in paying the second premium. The New York Standard Policy offers no cash value—only loans. If a man, age 35, should take out, at the same time two 20 payment life policies for |io,ooo each, one in the Mutual Benefit, the other in the New York Standard policy form, he would pay a premium for the New York policy which would exceed that of the Mutual Benefit by $21 20 per annum, a difference, which improved at 6 per cent, compound interest, would amount in 20 years to $826.65. Then if he would sur render both policies, The Mutual Benefit would pay him $609.20 more than the New York company, making a total dif. ference in guaranteed results of $1.435-85• The above takes no account of divi dends, the amonnt of which must depend on future management, interest rates and mortality.

Sehscrika for Yhe Ledger 11.00 e *ear, She Already Hae Chosen a Uniform of Blue Blouses and Bloomera—-Plenty of Gold Buttons and Braid-Argu ments For the Innovation. Mrs. Julia Goldzier of Bayonne, N. J., says that about 500 persons have signed her petition for the appointment ; of women police In that city. Most of the signers are women. Many sent let- ; ters indorsing tire proposition. Mrs. Goldzier launched her scheme several months ago. appealing then to Mayor Pierre Garven and to the town counci to appoint women police. The mayor and council tabled the petition, and some Jokes were cracked over It. Mrs. Goldzier proposes to keep up the agitation until she succeeds, If i success Is possible, says the New York Sun. She thinks it Is. She has gone so far as to select a uniform for the policewomen. Dark bine blouses and bloomers, with or without skirts, mili tary caps with gold braid and patent leather boots are to be filled by the police ferns. Double rows of gold but tons adorn the blouses. Instead of clubs the policewomen will carry ■witches. In order to arouse Interest Id her project Mrs. Goldzier has Issued a pamphlet which has been largely cir culated. "When I sent a letter to Mayor Gar- Ten asking him to appoint policewomen to patrol the streets for the protection, assistance and entertainment of our children while they are out of their parents’ sight.’’ saya Mrs. Goldzier In the pamphlet, “I had no idea but that the mayor would say something In fa vor of the movement and that the press would note his statements on account of their novelty and there the matter would drop, except that In some remote place a progressive village whose in habitants were Intelligent enough to know a good thing when they beard of It and were not tied down by custom and the traditloni of their elders, would institute a police force of women whose sole duty was the care of children. "To my surprise and Joy I found that the citizens of Bayonne were quite ready to maintain a force of female guardians if they could be convinced that these would fill an evident want. In the minds of some, one doubt Is that policewomen would necessarily drag women Into politics. This argument la In favor and not against the project. Women purify the home, business, ■treets and camps, and women In poli tics would purify politics. Those who cannot realize this are in the lunatic asylum. Another argument which is only senseless twaddle Is that a wo man’s place is at home. Why is home a woman's place more than man’s? Not because tie has business elsewhere, for no has she. "The home is getting smaller every day, and woman’s capacities are growing larger every day. If you con tract her sphere as her home contracts, you will be kept busy building prisons, madhouses and poorhouses to harbor •11 the wrecked minds, morals and constitutions. Woman’s growing en ergies cannot be safely confined in too small a place. T’le healthful outdoor exercise as a policewoman, with Its limited hours and easy work, will soon mako our women strong and free as men. Men with great care and sub tlety have reduced women to depend ency and fear for their miserable, de formed. lopsided civilization If women should he free and healthy. Many a woman disguised as a man has lived in close association with men and proved that man’s life, with its health ful variegated distractions, has ena bled her to reduce her curse beyond Its power to 1 rouble her. The horrified public shouts that policewomen would encourage race suicide. "Calm yourselves, dear people, and listen to common sense. Is not one child saved equal to one born? Then suppose In her wanderings through the streets the unwedded policewoman saves a child from a runaway borae, from the throning of missiles by a bully or blood poisoning by removing the fragments of a broken bottle would ahe not have done as much for human ity as If she herself had prodoced that child? My policewoman would dally and hourly Ik> performing such deeds, so they would do more than one moth er toward preventing race suicide. “ ‘Would not only Immoral women accept positions on the police force?* This Is a stunning question which sur prised me as much as though It had been asked if only Immoral women would take positions as wives, school teachers or nurses.

Because of the discovery of vast de posits of meerschaum in the moun tains of New Mexico It is likely that the monopoly of that mineral, hereto fore held by the Turkish government, will be broken, and pipes of that mate rial will be lessened in cost, says the Kansas City Star. Until recently all of the meerschaum used in the commerce of the world was produced from ■ mine In the 1 plains of E^kihi-sher, Anatolia. Turkey, in Asia. In those mines are employed 10.000 men. The output of the mine was owned by the Turkish govern ment. and it kept the price np. There is a pooular belief that meer- schaum is petrified sea foam washed np ages ago and solidified by some strange process of nature. Meer schaum Is a mineral known to scien tists as "aeplolite.” It Is composed principally of silica and magnesium. It Is found iu fissures In the rock, where volcanic action has forced It up to the surface. Meerschaum is used not only for making tobacco pipes, but because of its unique properties of residing a high degree of heat and its ready ab sorption of water It la pnt to various electrical and mechanical uses. In the mines of New Mexico a solid block of meerschaum weighing forty- two pounds was taken out. It was the largest block of meerschaum ever mined. Herees Wear Snewehees. Horses wear snowshoes in Dakota in winter. Thus equipped they trot lightly over drifts wherein they would otherwise sink out of sight, says the Minneapolis Journal. In some parts of Dakota the snow lies all winter long eight or ten feet deep. But a crust forms on it, and with anowsboes men skim over it easily. Lately the snow shod horses have also skimmed over It. The equine snowshoes are made of boards twenty Inches long and four teen inches wide. An indentation to fit the foot Is branded on each board with a hot horseshoe, and the contrivance is fastened ou the hoof with an iron clamu and u bolt. SHORT TALKS BY L. T. COOPER.

CONSTIPATION. fcAMt I.L HOOREN. 1 can tell a person who is eonatipated >n sight. Their complexion ia pasty or yellow. Their eyes are dull, and they look and feel sleepy. No wonder they do. The bowels are a sewer. They carry away the poisonous re fuse. If they dont act the poisonous matter is absorbed by the body, and headaches, dull* ness, bad complex ion and eventually serious troubles re sult. There is no better rule lor good health than that the bowels should move eyery day at the same hour if possible. Regu larity can be acquired by making a habit of this. Foolish people neglect this and when chronic constipation effects them they take pills every few days to force the bowels to perform thtir natural function. An years go on they require more and more pills. This should he stopped. Cooper’s New Discovery will build up the stomach and cause the bowels to act naturally. While taking the medicine get the habit of regularity, then gradually stop taking the medicine.
