LIFE INSURANCE ACTIVITY.
The New York Life's Business Nearly
Up to the Legal Limit.
Tho Now York JLlfo Insuranco Com
pany announces that its new paid
business during tho half yeur just end
ed was over seventy million dollars.
As tho new law allows no llfo com
pany to writo over one hundred and
fifty millions per year, it would ap
pear that this company Is working
nearly up to tho limit Tho New
York Llfo gained such headway bo
fore the law was passed and suffered
bo llttlo, comparatively, from tho Arm
Btrong investigation, that tho question
with its management has been how to
keep business down to tho limit, rath
er than how to reach it. No other
company is writing noarly as much
as tho law allows. Tho New York
Llfo has evidently become a pre
ferred company.
Tho company's payments to nollcv
holders during tho six months end
ing Juno 30 wero $21,660,761. It Is
interesting to noto that this amount
was almost equally divided between
payments under policies maturing by
death and payments made to living
policy holders. Thus, whllo death
claims wero -$11,180,620, tho amount
paid for matured endowments, annu
ities, trust fund Installments, for pur
chased policies and for dividends was
$10,480,135. Modorn life Insurance, as
practiced by the best companies, em
braces a wfdo Hold, and covers many
contingencies. It Is money saved for
tho aged, as well as money provided
for tho families of those who die pro.
maturely.
The Goat Comes First.
Switzerland is tho only country In
tho world where tho goat Is- placed
ahead of all other animals, and even
of human beings. If a boy plagues
a goat ho can bo fined and sent to Jail.
If a person meets a goat on a path,
and drives him aside ho can bo arrest
ed. If a goat enters tho yard of a person
not his ownor nnd Is hit with club or
Btono tho person guilty of tho offonco
must pay 30 cents. If a railroad train
sees a goat on tho track tho train
must halt until tho animal can bo
coaxed to remove himself. There's
many a boy In America who wishes ho
wero a goat In Switzerland.
Two Advertising Truths.
A soap millionaire and an actor ,
manager woro talking business.
"I," said tho actor manager, , "have
discontinued tho uso of posters. My
announcements appear in tho news
papers exclusively. I have learned
that thoso who don't read the papers,
don't go to tho theater." ,
"You aro wlso," said tho soap mil
lionaire.. "And I do llko you. Long
Blnco I discarded overy form of ad
vertisement savo that of tho 'press,
finding that they who didn't read a
dally paper had no .uso for soap."
Tests of Bravery.
"Do you think men have more cour
age than women?"
"Cortalnly not," answered the pro
fesBor. "Everybody knows thero is
moro peril In the first Ice cream soda
than in tho first straw hat."
MEAT OR CEREALS.
A Question of Interest to All Care
ful Persons.
Arguments on food are Interesting.
Many persons adopt a vegetarian diet
on tho ground that they do not like to
feel that llfo has been taken to feed
them, nor do they fancy the thought
of eating dead meat.
On tho other hand, too great con
sumption of partly cooked, starchy
oatB and wheat or whlto bread, pastry,
etc., produces serious bowel troubles,
becauso tho bowel digestive organs
(whoro starch Is digested), aro over
taxed and the food forments, produc
ing gas, and microbes generate in the
decayed food, frequently bringing on
peritonitis and appendicitis.
Starchy food is absolutely essential
to tho human body. Its best form Is
shown in the food "Grape-Nuts," whoro
the starch is changed into a form of
sugar during the process of its manu
facture. In this way, tho required
food Is presented to tho system In a
pre-dlgested form and Is immediately
made into blood and tlssuo, without
taxing tho dlgestlvo prgans.
A remarkable result in nourishment
is obtained; tho person using Grape
Nuts' gains quickly in physical and
mental strength. Why In mental?
Because tho food contains dolicato
particles of Phosphate of Potash ob
tained from tho gralnB, and this unites
with the albumen of all food and tho
combination is what nature uses to re
build worn out cells in tho brain.
This is a scientific fact that can bo
easily proven by ten day's use of
Grape-Nuts. "There's a Reason."

Comment and Suggcotlve Thought.
After tho commandments had boon
given by God through Moses and tho
covenant assented to by the people,
Moses again went up into the mount
to obtain tho commandments In moro
permanent form, written on tablets of
stone, and to receive further Instruc
tions; nnd also to be prepared by his
lntlmato communion with God for his
long and difficult work of forming tho
people Into a nation that could dwell
In tho promised land. Every quality
of mind and of spirit was to bo taxed
to the utmost. Every minister, evofy
teacher, every believer needs, says
Joseph Parker, "periods of solitude
and communing with God; away from
tho fray, tho battle, tho race, but re
ceiving nourishment, nutriment, in
spiration, comfort, and even words by
which to express the divine thought.
And, coming back from the mountain
of contemplation, ho touches life with
a steadier hand, and does his duty
with a completer obedience and moro
radiant cheerfulness."
V. 1. "Saw that Moses delayed."
Ho was gone 40 days (Ex. 25:18), al
most seven Weeks, If tho week with
tho loaders In tho lower parts of the
mountain Is to be added (Ex. 21:9, 1G).
Tho absence of Moses was a time of
testing both the leaders and the peo
ple. Thoy had just taken the oath of
allegiance to God, and unanimously
promised to obey him.
V. I. "Up, make us gods," or a god,
"which shall go before us," and be our
leader. They could not see God, and
they wanted some visible expression
of God. They had several manifesta
tions of God, tho pillar of cloud and
fire, tho glory on the mountain, and
tho dally manna; but oven these be
camo so. common that they did not
mako them realize tho presence of
God.. They had just come from the
land of idols, heathen gods every
where. All these gods could be seen.
The' attractions of idolatry wore of
no ;Mfep6yir.or. t They wero familiar
witnTre-way in which the Idols of tho
heathen were' worshiped, with feasting
and rioting and unrestrained licen
tiousness, in marked contrast -with the
purity and self-control required by
Jehovah.
V. 5. "And when Aaron saw it
(this)." Saw in what light tho peo
ple viewed the image. "Ho built an
altar beforo It . . . and said, to-morrow
Is a feast to the Lord." God was
still to be worshiped, but under the
form of a calf. Probably Aaron
thought he was very shrewd in thus
saving for God what he could of honor
and reverence.
So Jehu boasted of his zeal for tho
Lord of hosts while he was worship
ing tho golden calves of Jeroboam (2
Kings 10:16, 29).
V. 7. "The Lord said unto Moses,
Go, get thee down." Moses in the
thick cloud which covered the top of
Slnal could not seo or hear what was
going on below. Hut It was no time
for him to remain apart, even In com
munion with God; thoro was work to
do below, which his mountain-top ex
perience fitted him to do. So tho three
disciples who vlewed the Transfigura
tion weer not allowed to remain on
tho Mount, but wero sent down to
their dally work where tho others were
In vain trying to cure a demon-con
trolled boy.
To test hlin, God offered to destroy
the nation and make Moses the second
Abraham of a new and greater people.
Moses stood tho test, rejected the
tempting offer, and urged upon God
three pleas for mercy. Moses hasten
ed down the mountainside, with
Joshua, who had been waiting for him.
Soon thoy camo In Bight of tho abom
Inablo Idol, and tho frenzlod worship
ers dancing, half naked, around it.
Probably thero was a power not only
in his soul, but In his appearance,
somo gleams of that glory described
In Ex. 34:35.
Tho breaking of tho tables of tho
covenant was enough to cause the
stoutest heart to fear.
Moses then burned tho golden calf
and ground It to powder. "It Is almost
Impossible to pulverize pure gold, but
tho act was made easily possible, prob
ably, by nlloyp present in the Jewelry
from which tho Idol had been made."
Patterson Du Bols.
Then Moses put tho question, "Who
is on the Lord's sldo?" Who will
stand for the right, whatever their
past mistakes, whoever else may refuse?
THE DAY OF THE FARMER.
Occupation Properly Recognized as
One of the Professions.
The farmer who is not an amateur
is a really Increasing factor In to
day's life. In fact, farming Is rapidly
becoming ono of tho professions. Wo
have our agricultural schools, Just as
we have our law schools.
It is getting to be a business as
well. Farmers have their trusts, like
other manufacturers.
It is a far cry from tho Now Eng
land farmer, trying to arrange an ex
ploded granito quarry Into a stone
wall that ho may lfavo room in which
to plant his crop, and that 'master of
capital, science, and black earth ten
,'eet deep who plows with a traction
cngino and reaps with a ten horso
team. And between these two types
of famors the drift is steadily toward
the latter.
Tho comic paper does not laugh at
the "granger" as frequently as It used
to laugh. It wants his subscription.
The capitalist does not foreclose
mortgages on tho prairie farm now.
He borrows money of its owner.
And, what is vastly moro lmpor:
tant, tho entire country looks with a
respect bordering upon apprehension
on this r. typo of American who
has decide! views on railroads, trusts,
and, in fact, on every subject, from
the "green bug" to tho lecturer at his
Chautauqua. This rise of tho farmer
Into national significance Is welcome
In view of tho inundation of great
cities by immigrants who have sig
nificance only en masse.
The farm Is the nursery of individ
ualism.. If you are a cliff dweller In
tho city send your boy thero this sum
mer and let him see what It meanB to
create wealth with the help of naturo
rather than with tho ticker. You will
help mako him a better American.

WOMEN WHO CHARM
Health Is the First Essential Toward MaKing a
Woman Attractive.
MISS HULDA KUGHLER
There is a beauty and attractive
ness in health which is far greater
than mere regularity of feature.
A sickly, irritable, and complaining
woman always carries a cloud of
depression with her; she is not only
unhappy herself but is a damper to
all joy and happiness when with, her
family and friends.
It is tho bright, healthy, vivacious
woman who always charms and carries
sunshine wherever she goes.
If a woman finds that her energies
are llnggiug and that everything tires
her; if her feminine system fails to
perform its allotted duties, there is
nervousness, sleeplessness, faintness,
backache, headache, bearing - down
pains, and irregularities, causing
constant misery and melancholia,
she should remember that Lydla E.
PInkham'5 Vegetable Compound
made from native roots and herbs will
dispel all these troubles. By correct
ing tho cause of tho trouble it cures
where other treatment may have
failed.

Dear Mrs. Pinkham:
"For months I suffered with dreadful
headaches, pain in the back and severe
hemorrhages. I was weak and out of sorts
all the time. Lydla E. Pinkbara's Vegetable
Compoun'l helped me when all other medi
cine had failed. It seemed to be just what
I newUd and quickly restored my health."
QUICK REMEDIES FOR CRAMP.
Not Hard to Get Relief From This
Painful Affliction. ....
Do your llttlo growing folks wake
up In tho night with cramp In their
toes or legs? If so, toll them to slide
down to tho foot of tho bod and press
their toes hard against the footboard.
This seldom fails to bring relief. Even1
the tiniest tot can do this for .herself
when she wakes up In alarm at tho
big pain In her leg.
Should this fail, and sometimes
when tho cramp Is up by the knee, It
is not efficient, tell the sufferer to
press tho solo of her cramped ;.foot
against tho Instep of the other. Press
good and hard, and tho pressure, to
gether with tho warmth and electric
ity drawn from tho well foot, will cer
tainly bring relief unless the case Is
very s stubborn. To treat the "knot
ty," stubborn kind of cramp, which
sometimes seizes the little folks when
they are nervous, or if they have
eaten something which does not agreo
with them, to tie a broad band (fa
ther's handkerchief, folded, will an
swer,) tightly above the cramped part.
Rubbing, unless one knows just how
to manipulate tho muscle, often does
moro harm than good. The doctors
toll us that cramp of this kind is as
much a nervous as a muscular trouble.
If your children suffer frequently
with It, a good warm bath with an
alcohol rub at night is a good" pre
ventlve. B. "'N.
