automatically a reversionary addition
In other words, as much additional
paid-up life Insurance as It wilt buy at
Its owner's age. At any time In the fu
ture It may be reconverted: that Is,
transformed from so much paid-up In
surance back Into tho original dividend,
when It may bo withdrawn or otherwise
disposed of according to tho will or
necessity of tho owner.
The. conversion of dividends Into addi

the original object ho had In view when
he secured tho policy, and through re
versionary addition's the amount of It Is
augmented, tho rate Increasing with time
through tho operation of compound In
terest. An actual experience will graphically
illustrate the advantages: In 1S37 Gen
eral Stewart L. Woodford of New York,
who subsequently became nn Interna
tional figure ns a lawyer and diplomat,
secured a policy for $3,000 In an excellent
company, on which ho paid an annual
premium of Jot. St. He eventually carried
a largo line of life Insurance In various
companies, but wo will confine our at
tention to thin singlo contract. On this
ho paid fifty-six premiums, aggregating
$3,071.04. With the exception of $75 (the
reversionary value of which was $2."i7.M)
used for extra premium during the civil
war, 1SS2 to 1SC7, not a dollar of the ac
cumulating ' dividends was withdrawn.
Deducting tho (.75 extra premium paid
out of tho dividend fund, the total net
premiums paid amounted to $2,996.04. At
the tlmo of his death, which occurred
several months ago, tho reversionary
addition which had been bought by the
undrawn dividends aggregated $3,163, or
$172.06 more than tho total premiums 'he
had paid. Ills beneficiaries received on
that single contract of $3,000 tho sum of
$0,169. General Woodford also carried an
other $3,000 po'ley In the same company,
which cost him total premiums of
$3,223.71, the dividend additions on which
were worth J3.5G2, His original $6,000 of
life Insurance had grown to $12,531 at the
time of his death.

from tho comparative table that the 1913
losses to the end of August nrc within
about $3,000,000 as much as the losses for

Insurance Companies
Now Conserving
Human Life
There Is a kind of conservation spring
ing up, reports the Wall Street Journal,
which Is paying big returns to Its promo
tors. Somehow or other the life Insur
nnco companies have begun to realize
that the family Is tho field upon which
to work In husbanding their resources.
Tho grent enemy of prosperous Insur
nnco Is HI health. Most Illnesses can
be handled In the family, and, It
promptly attended to can be prevented
by ordinary means, such as a compe
tent nurse could apply, or a singlo visit'
of a doctor dispose of. That has led 1
the Metropolitan Life Insurance com- '
pany of Now York to attach n nurse
service to Its local agencies In various
parts of tho country. The bond . be
tween tho agency and the family Is tho
visit monthly of the collector of prem
iums, who not only fills out n blank on
tho family's health, but observes the
sanitary conditions of the premises,
mnklng a fairly comprehensive report
of the health of tho family.
It Is easy to see how comprehensive
this service may become In Its Influence
upon tho health of tho community. The
promotion of better conditions in the
neighborhood through committees of pol
icy holders has probably the vastest pos
sibilities of any step which hna recently
been taken In the direction of collective
warfare. Thanks aro due to such men
as Prof. Irving Fisher and Prof. J.
Peaso Norton, who, together with others,
aeveral years ago Inaugurated this cam
paign to eliminate economic waste by at
tention to sound sanitary policies. The
great cause of poverty la not financial
panics, not Industrial and commercial de
pressions, nor even tho loss of millions In
bad crops. The worst foe to human wel
fare Is still preventable sickness, and the
Insurance program which stlkes at this
fundamental source of misery Is a mis
sionary Indeed.

Mayor Doctor Intimated that the dis
position of the charges against Chief
John McKale was taken up and that it
would finally be decided In a day or two.
It Is thought that tho charges will be
dropped with the understanding that new
rules will be Introduced at once. Mayor
Doctor stated that the rules of the
Omaha flro department would be adapted
to the needs of South Omaha and adopted
by the board without delay. The mayor
stated that he was determined to bring
the discipline of the department up from
Its present status.
The appointment of the men necessary
to make up the double shift brings to a
close one of the long-expected actions of
the board. That there will be soreness
goes without saying, by reason of the
fact that seventy men will be disap
pointed by their failure to land. The dis
position of the vacant places were made
with an eye to the different nationalities
of the city. Captain John Kubat, who
was tried for Inefficiency when the new
board was first elected, Is promoted to
his former place at the head of No. 3
company, after having been reduced for
several months.

City Treasurer P. J. Martin has In
augurated a new departure In the city
finances by which certain money here
tofore paid Into the banks will he paid
Into the city treasury Instead. Do will
hereafter take up the city warrants
which tho banks have taken up and
charged the city 6 per cent Interest for
so doing. The 6 per cent Interest Instuad
of going to the banks will go to the .city
tnd be paid Into the Interest and sinking
fund. The move means a saving of about
ll.SO between the months of August and
January of each year, when the banks
take up the city warrants on a premium
Treasurer Mprttn some time ago placed
1100,000 at 4 per cent Interest Instead of
the old 2 per cent drawn by the city
The money so placed was taken from
funds not liable to be drawn upon within
the year. There la still more of the pub
lic improvement money drawing 2 per
cent, but the city treasurer cannot put It
out at 4 per cent because of the fact that
the money Is available for use nnd much
of It will be needed within the next few
months. The banks will not pay 4 per
cent under a year's deposit of the funds,
it Is said. ,
The money, however, will be used by
tho city to take up warrants to the ex
tent of about $a,000 within the time be
tween now and January 1. This will mean
that the treasurer will be able to pour
something like an extra 11,000 Into the
Irtcrest and sinking fund with an eye
to the reduction of the city's bonded In
debtedness.

There aro still several appointments lo

the report submitted to tho board by
Mayor Doctor In the matter of appoint
ing a policewoman. Tho mayor askod -that
It be given publicity:
After careful consideration, having In
mind the future welfare of tho boys and
girls of our city, I havo come to the
conclusion that the appointment of n
woman to the police department of this
city, whoso principal duties will bo that
of censor of places of public amusement,
vis., theaters, public dances, parks, etc,
will rrsult In much good. It Is a well
established fact that only a very small
percentage of the average boys and girls
aro naturally bad. The great majorltv
of those who stray from tho path of
honor are Induced to do so by others who
havo fallen before and not through thrlr
own deslro to be bad, and while I bellev.i
the conduct of the boys and girls of this
city will compnre favorably with that of
any other city, yet, If by the appolnt-
iiicni uerein reicrrt-ti 10, me erring boys

closed the largest feeder shipment In the
history of tho company aggregating 1,200
carloads of feeder cattle and sheep sent
to tne reed lots of Nebraska and Iowa.
This Is by far the largest aggregate ship

the local yards and Superintendent Wal
ters was elated over tho fact that the
yards were cleaned up last night ready
tor tne expected incoming shipments from
outside.
According to well-informed cattle men
the run this year Is 10 per cent under the
corresponding date of one year ago. Last
year's cattle shipments to the local mar
ket were tho lightest In ten years, and
it Is feared that this year will 'fall be
low the preceding twelvemonth.
