The operation was performed under
local anaesthesia only, by Dr. E. C.
Henry, upon Dr. Antone Fehr. as
sistant surgeon at the hospital, who
came to Omaha from Budapest, Hun
gary, a year ago. .
Operation Painless.
‘‘With the application of novocaine
I went through the operation without
pain." Dr. Fehr said, "and talked to
Dr. Henry during the operation, tell
ing him just what he was doing and
■what instruments he used. X couldn’t
see the operation because of the cur
tain placed in front of the patient’s
face during any major operation.
"By undergoing the operation in
this way, nausea and post-operative
pneumonia from the ether are avoided.
Patients Unafraid.
"In Europe, more operations are
performed under local anaesthesia
than under general anaesthesia. The
patients there are not frightened be
cause they are told just what Is to
take place."
Dr. Fehr suffered pain only three
hours after the operation, and ex
pects to be out of bed in five days.
McDonald Wins
French Favor
Makes Overtures to Paris to
End Breach—Poincare
Agreeable.
By International >'ews Service.
London, Jan. 30.—Premier Itamsay
MacDonald, head of Great Britain's
new labor government, has made ov
ertures to France for new rules
strengthening the entente cordiale,
it was learned this afternoon. It was
the labor governments answer In
face of accusations by laborite lead
ers that France is militaristic and is
sowing the seeds of future discord in
Europe.
Premier MacDonald and Premier
Poincare, of France, have ex
changed letters, the former stat
ing that the differences be
tween the two countries are caus
ing unrest and should he settled with
out delay. Great Britain, MacDonald
said, is willing to meet France half
way in solving the problems trou
bling the two powers.
Premier Poincare immediately re
plied in a conciliatory tone opening
the way for a conference.
The cabinet has not given up the
idea of a general conference of Eu
ropean powers and the United States
on war debts and reparations. The
premier evidently believes that France
would be more likely to participate
if the entente cordiale were renewed.
The activities which the premier
foreign secretary is showing in set
tling home and foreign problems is
astounding friends and enemies alike.
While finding time to deal with Itus
sia and France, he Is seeking to pla
cate Ulster and the Jrlsh Free State
In their boundary dispute.

Severity-Ninth Annual Statement
TO THE POLICY-HOLDERS!
A* a policy-holder you are chiefly interested in the quality of your Company and in the service ll
renders. By ‘‘quality’’ I mean the character of its business; the grade of its securities; the
standards maintained by its Executive Officers.
I can not paint a complete picture, but in order to drive home some of the truth I give yos
below a picture of the work of one Committee during the year 1923.
During 1923 the Finance Committee made the following investments:
BONDS PURCHASED
Bondi Bought Coat Arersge YUM
U. S. Government Treasury Notes.. $11,013,860.00 4 65%

B. & M. I cans renewed. $12,991,730.00 5.50%
Total .$144,170,157.00 5.53%
This total- $144,000,000.00 was much more than our net income. The Committee believed It
■aw an opportunity to benefit you through selling and reinvesting, without risk, in order to increase the
earning power of invested assets. They therefore sold Bonds amounting to (par value) $44,845,459.29
during the year, of which $33,182,900.00 were United States Government Bonds. By this process, and
by transferring certain foreign bonds, in reinsuring foreign business, they increased the earning
power of Ledger .Assets by over $1,000,000.00 annually for an average of nine years.
We sold Government Bonds
1st. Because our holdings were proportionately too large in Peace days $120,000,000 par'l
2d. Because we could sell at a profit;
3d. Because thereby earning power could be increased and the cost of your insurance reduced.
