THE "WHY" OF RATES A railroad may haul a carload of flour at a cheaper cost per sack than if only one-tenth as much were ship ped, but it costs us d great deal more per telephone to operate an exchange of 5,000 subscribers than one of only a thousand. In an exchange of 5,000 subscribers, every tele , phone uses is given an opportunity to use his telephone ten times as much as in an exchange of a thousand subscribers. This condition would make the operating expense and maintenance cost of every telephone and line in the larger exchange much higher than in the smaller one. Then, too, in the larger exchange, telephones ever age farther from the central office, necessitating more wire per telephone. Also, as more telepeones are added to an exchange, the uniting of every telephone with every other one in creases the individual cost enormously.' But the service of the larger exchange is worth a great deal more. Nebraska Telephone Company M. E.

SHIER LUMBER Ai GUI COMPANY AfiD BRICK BUILDING MAI GRAIN HOW A RELIANCE POLICY WORKS Great Feature of the Policies Is ued by the Reliance Life In-. surance Co. of Pittsburg. John M. Patterson, a railroad .conductor, of Sedalia, Missouri, took a policy with the Reliance for 12,000 on the 15-Year Endow ment Plan, April 13, 1907. A note by the inspector received at the time says: "Mr. Patterson has a family; he is a healthy, stout man." In September, 1907, Mr. Pat terson had a stroke of paralysis. which totally disabled him. Sub sequently his Reliance Policy was either destroyed or lost, as it was considered of no value. Recently Mr. W. L. Phinps. of the Renew ing Division, while in Sedalia, dis covered this situation. The at tention of Mrs. Patterson was called to the fact that her hus band's policy had not lapsed, but was still in force under the Total and Permanent Disability Clause. Her own letter is more eloquent praise of the Reliance policy than anything else can be. It says: "Sedalia, Mo. "Mr. Scott Dear Sir: Mr. Patterson is unable to write. He was running out of Jefferson City at Ihe time he took out the policy, and I did not know any thing about it. The policy is either lost or misplaced. I feel sure Mr. Patterson will never be able to work again. He has been under the doctor's care nearly all the time since September, 1907. It will surely be a great benefit to me and the children. Please advise me what to do. We, neither of us, knew of the Dis ability Clause. It Is very kind of you to look us up and tell us of It, and I surely appreciate it. This has been a trying ordeal to me to see my husband fighting so hard to regain his health. Thanking you again for your kindness. Re spectfully yours, "Mrs. J. M. Patterson, "305 W. 5th St., Sedalia, Mo." The company, upon receipt of affidavit that policy had been lost, Issued a duplicate endorsed fully paid up. A Reliance Policy may be lost, destroyed or forsrotten. It works just the same, BECAUSE it is the policy of the Reliance Life In surance Company to see that it does.

About two years ago I learned of Doan's Kidney Pills and they brought me such prompt and positive relief that I have since used them when ever I have felt in need of a kid ney remedy. I procured Doan's Kidney Pills at Rynott & Co.'s Drug Store and do not hesitate to recommend them." Tho above statement was given in June, 1900, and on December 30, 1008, Mrs. Hodgert said: "I still hold a high opinion of Doan's Kidney Pills.
