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 jrd. 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 $to,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 tx)th 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 amount of which,must depend on future management, interest rates and mortality. Place your insurance with the Mutual Benefit Life Ins.

ITenry Marsh Warren of New York, the [(ar son who marries people at hotels, the other night by telephone, saying: “I am a* Pittsburg millionaire, eml nently respectable. I am at the Vic toria with si young lady whom I hops* you will enable me to call my own. Will you kindly hasten to our hotel? You will find us in suit 23.” The hotel chaplain was In his great coat In si minute, and a cab whirled him downtown, says the New York World. Reporters, warned by Ire- less. were waiting for him. ‘‘I have come to marry a couple in suit 23,” said the parson. “We have no suit numbered 23,” said the clerk. “Our lowest number Is 100. Twenty-three—that’s the skldoo num ber. You have been stung.” Dr. Warren was forced to agree. Mrs. Craigie Memorial Fund. A committee has l>een formes] by some of the friends nt the late Mrs. Cralgle (Jsihn Oliver IIs*i»lies> to raise subscriptions for a memorial to her, says the New York Evening Hun. It Is proposed that In ths* ev<*nt of sufficient funds being csdlected the memorial shsmld Insdusle ths* fsdlsjwing: A portrait plasjue hi marble or bronze to bs* plas-ed in Univs*rs!ly college, Lsm don, when* Mrs. I’rnigle stusliesl. A replica <»f the plaque to bs* placed In a suitable position in the United Htuts*s. A scholarship for the study of iuskI- ern English literature to be given an nually in England and a similar schol arship to be givs*u annually In the United States. Mr. Choate, ths* late American am bassudsjr tss Eiiglansl, has promised to further the scheme in the Unites'. States. Rugs, Shoes and Sails Also Made From 1 It—Can Be Dyed With Better Effect Than Silk—It Is Not Affected by Water. According to a report to the state de- { partment by Carl Halley Hurst, cousul at Plauen, Haxsmy, It Is possible that before many years we shall l>e wear ing clsdhing mash* sd paper, using paper rugs and carpets, enjoying paper slip pers and shoes and making sails of [taper canvas, says a Washington‘dis patch. The manufacture s>f paper “yarns” has progressed to far that many careful housewives last year bought paper towels under the impas sion that they were getting bargains in linen, the articles selling at wholesale for 24 cents a dozen, medium size. Enough “paper” cloth can be bought for .$1 to make a three piece suit. The attention of the bureau of man ufactures having been directed to this new branch of Industry, It made In quiries of the consuls in Saxony regard ing It, and Mr. Hurst has made an In teresting report on the subject. He states that “xylolln,” as the article Is called, was Invented by Herr Emil Claviez of Saxony after many and long continued experiments and that the processes are patented In all civ ilized countries. Moreover, the “yarns” of paper fiber, consisting of 95 per cent paper and 5 per cent cotton, are made somewhat extensively In England, Bo hemia and Saxony, and factories are to be established l^y the Inventor In the United States. Xylolln may be woven Into any de sirable fabric. It Is primarily a thread or yarn and Is employed exclusively In weaving. The thread is not brittle, and It does not have a hard surface, and It neither shrinks nor stretches to any appreciable extent. Having cer tain resilient qualities, It cannot read ily be crushed or dented like paper, and on It moisture has practically no effect. Among the other many good quali ties claimed for it is that it is a serv iceable substitute for cotton. Jute, linen and even silk. When bleached, the yarn or thread Is of a snowy white ness and at first glance cannot be dis tinguished from cotton. It Is said to combine the good qualities of cotton and linen at one-third tlun>rice of cot ton and one-tenth the price of linen. It can bo more readily dyed In deli cate shades, far outmatching the range of colors to which cotton or silk are susceptible, and. It Is asserted, vastly more than those of linens. The process of dyeing the thread or yarn is pat ented and appears to he of such per fection that no colors from the dainti est nuances to the richest hues are af fected by strong light. Rugs and carpets of this material, woven like ingrain carpets, are being Imported into the United States. They are said to be elastic to the tread, easily cleaned by beating and washing and not retentive of dust. Moths do not attack them. The p.apcr yam is much used for making bagging instead of jute or used in combination with it, one thread of jule with two of paper. It is used for outing hats, canvas shoes and slip pers, towels which are easily taken for linen, wall hangings, upholstering for veranda furniture, as It is not af fected b> the weather, and for outing suits. It is said to be particularly suited for underwear. The processes uschI are said to be see tot, and no information Is given re garding them. Piltc of Timber Shaped Like a Cigar as Big as an Ocean Steamer. Sen rafts, which are peculiar to the Pacific ocean, made of tImlK*r for pil ing and for telegraph poles, are shaped like a cigar and are of enormous size. The timber Is cut in Washington and Oregon and until recently was shipped j to central and southern California in sailing vessels and steam barges. The j expense and the limited capacity of ! these vessels led to the designing of | the sea rafts. While they are of different sizes, the smallest usually contains at least S.tXH) pieces of timber ranging from eighty to a hundred feet in length and from eight inches to nearly two feet In diameter at the butt. Consequently some of the rafts made in this peculiar fashion are nearly as long as the lar gest transatlantic liners, measuring no less than <530 feet from end to end. So compactly are the poles arranged, says a writer In the Southwest, that the greatest diameter is not more than sixty feet, hut the enormous weight of the wood forces a raft down in the wa ter until the highest portion is rarely more than ten feet above the surface. To fasten such a raft so that It will withstand the force of the seas to which it is exposed no little engineer ing skill is required. As the cigar shape offers less resistance to the force of the waves than any other, this has been adopted. To move this unwieldy bulk two powerful steamers are usually employ ed at sea, one for pulling directly ahead and the other to aid in keeping the raft in the right course, especially In rough weather. But a comparative ly small portion of the surface is ex posed to the seas. Otherwise it would be impossible to transport the timber in this form. On the other hand, the depth in the water allows only a very slow rate of speed to l>e maintained. The average time required between the Columbia river and Han Francisco, for example, 750 miles, is from ten to fifteen days, according to the weather. The Columbia river rafts are put to gether at a town called Stella, which is located In the lumber country about forty miles from the mouth of the river. These rafts are the largest whitdi have yet been transported down the coast. One which was sent to San Fran cisco contained no less than 800,000 linear feet of lumber to be used for wharf piling. If die piles which it contained were stretched In a row they would actually extend a distance of nearly fifteen miles. The majority of these rafts have been safely taken to their destinations, although one or two have gone to pieces. Where such accidents have oc curred the mass of timber has covered the ocean for u distance of many miles and lias formed a very dangerous men ace to navigation. For this reason an effort has been made by other transportation com panies to have a law passed In the states of Washington and Oregon pre venting the building of the sea rafts on the ground that they are a menace to navigation. Thus far the agitators of this movement have been unsuc cessful. FEB AND KEPT OPEN SHORT TALKS BY L. T. COOPER., THE STOMACH. m I! C. n. POWELL. My but peoples’ stomachs do cause o lot of trouble. 1 offered to wager some doctors in St. Paul, Minn., that one half of all sickness is caused by the stomach. After I assured them that my medi cine did notiiing but put the 1 stomacli in shape and they had fcpent a day list ening to what people who call ed on me had to say, they had to agree with me. They heard people come in and tell me that for years they had been near the grave with Bright’s disease, or lung trouble, or kidney complaint and all man ner of diseases and that the New Discovery had cured them. Of course these people were mistaken, it was nothing but their atomachs. As a matter of fact when the atomach gives out most everything else ia thrown out of order too. When a person fecit tired and dull and despondent, is loosing flesh and don’t sleep well, has a poor memory, a bad taste in the mouth, a coated tongue, and other troubles he’s liable to believe a lot of things are the matter with him. Nine chances to one it’s his stomach. I’ve seen Cooper’s New Discovery bring back beahh to too many people in just this shape to believe anything else. Here’s a letter about it: "I suffered for a long time without knowing just what was the matter with me. I seldom felt like eating. I lost greatly in weight. My digestion was ex- extremely poor and when I did eat I invariably suffered afterward. I was con stipated and frequently suffered from nerve racking, violent headaches. When 1 heard of what the Cooper remedies were doing for others I resolved to try them.” “Relief came with the first bottle. My appetite and digestion improved rapidly. I am no longer constipated nor do I have those dreadful hcHdaehes. I sleep well and am gaining flesh.” C. H. Powell, 13 Harrison /-addition. Duluth, Minn. We are selling immense quantities of these medicines and our customers express great satisfaction. GAFFNEY DRUG CO. OLD SORES BY IMPURITIES IN THE BLOOD Whenever a sore refuses to heal it is because the blood is not pure and healthy, as it should be, but is infected with poisonrns germs or some old blood taint which has corrupted and polluted the circulation. Those most usually afflicted with old sores are persons who have reached or passed mid dle life. The vitality of the blood and strength of th; system have naturally begun to decline, sod the poisonous germs which have accumulated because of a sluggish and inactive condition of the system, or some hereditary caing which has hitherto been held in check, now force an outlet on the face, arms, kgs or other part of the body. The place grows red and angry, festers and eats into the surrounding tissue until it becomes a chronic and stubborn nleer, fed and kept open by the impurities with wh ch the blood is saturated. Nothing is mors trying and disagreeable than a stibborn, non-healing sore. The very fact that it resists ordinary remedies and treatments is good reason for suspicion; the same gtrm-producing canceroui ulcers is back of every old sore, and especially is this true if the trouble is an inherited one. Washes, salves, nor indeed anything else, applied directly to the sore, ran do any permanent good; neither will remov- i every way until X oaosmo '-•'-‘j' vi wc uiocoacu ucou v rS??.£ ul «Ti taken away another sore would come, be- •ated m# but th^aora oon^inuad cause the trouble is in the blood, and th* BLOOD cannot be cut away, and after Uklns^fa^vhila I was The cure must come by a thorough clean*- *”* o'toe blood.
