NOT OLD LINE; Indiana Endowment Life In ' surance Company, Evans- ! ville, Which Failed : IS NOT unusual — Arthur Hall of the Lincoln L ‘fe of Fort Wayne, Writes About It. The failure of the Juliana Endow I ment Life Insurance company at Evi ansvllle a lew days u(t „ l|n ,. ~a UM<d , considerable talk, especially in cities having life Insurance companies, it should be stated plainly that tills company was an assessment, company, pure and simple, and it is not unusual for these companies to give up their life, in fact more than tl.ooo of them have in recent years submitted to the inevitable. The Decatur Underwriters' company represents only old llncompanies and under the laws of Indiana. these cannot fall. The following letter published jn the Fort Way te Sentinel, will be of Interest to you; To the Editor of the Sentinel: Many newspapers have carried a dispatch from Evansville, Ind., con cerning the failure of the Indiana Life Endowment company there, but the article failed to set out that it was an assessment company. It stabs! that the policy holders would receive about cne and one-half per cent on their claims. 1 regret very much to say that a number of supposedly reputable life insurance men In this community have lost no time in tutting out the article and are showing It to their prospects, for life Insurance as an argument 1 against Indiana legal reserve life insurance companies, no matter where' organised. I think you should make It, plain that the failed company Is an as I sessment concern. It would be Impossible for a com I |>any organised under the legal reserve laws of Indiana to suffer a failure of this nature. Indiana legal reserve companies operate'under thei compulsory deposit law of the state of Indiana, and in accordance with ’ Section 10 of said law each one of, them maintains in approved securities I in the office of the auditor of the alate I of Indiana an amount In excess of the i net cash value of all outstanding poll 1 cies. I have In my possession a let ter addressed to me by Charles W. Miller when he was attorney general of the state of Indiana in which he says: The result of the proper opera- | tion of thia law Is to secure every policyholder by a deposit with the state in much the same way that every national bank note is protected by a deposit with in* United State government. I also have In my possession a letter written by John t . Hillhelmor, when he was auditor of the state of Indiana. In which he ays: No life insumme company, organised under the legal reserve life insurance law of the state haa ever caused a single policy-holder to lose a dollar, whether the company Itself proved « *u- ■ cee or failure, as the police bolder have been uniformly protect'd .|id under our laa cannot luet ra. These facts are all well known to life insurance men. No ti jtuwt life In I surance man will cause » pollcyhold er in any legal reserve life insurant-; company the least worry by any statemar' tp the effe.l that It h po*»lbl"| for a policyholder in such » company to lose any m« l,r > They know that, the pollcyhivldvrs ar* absolutely protected and safe and that no policyholder in a legal reserve < >mpuny can lose any money.

They Climb Ladders and Fly Around the Bfg Room on Skates. Roller skates for clerks who must go constantly back and forth In a big room Is a new shop efficiency idea. A street railroad company in New Bedford. Mass., has found the plan to be a really wonderful time saver in Its stock room. All kinds of stock, from little Irolts to heavy pickaxes, are kept in steel boxes piled up tier above tier In 11 room iTo feet long. Orders for stock come to the room to be filled, like an order for groesries from a housewife, and the clerks must hurry round dim! get the desired articles. Their duties thus require constant moving from one place to another all day long, so they were provided with roller skates. The experiment proved to be successful both in saving time and In saving the energy of the men. With practice they became sure on their feet nt the sharp turns. Many of the boxes are so high that they can only tie reached by ladders, so ladders on rollers are provldisl - one in front of each row. The btv-ps of the ladders are narrow, and consequently the men soon learn to cllinb the ladders readily without j removing their skate*, for there is ! plenty of room between the toe ndlers and the heel rollers for the'Nstep of , the ladder to fit In under the clerk's I shoe.—Rat unlay Evening I’ost. THE OPEN AIR CURE. Ta Be Effective the Air Must Not Only Be Fresh, but Pure. Writing in the Medical Times, I>r. < Dutton says that the medical profea- : sion for some years past lias been carried away by the o|>en air fad for the treatment of tubenulosls and fresh I air has been regarded as a cure-all. He says it is iuiiairtant to distinguish lietween pure air and fresh air. Outside ■ air is fresh air. but not very generally ! is it pure air except in the country or Ut sen Pure air contains the ozone which Is the vitalizing principle of fresh air and Is free from particles of dust. Fresh air is not only likely to be dust laden, but It is cold mid often Impregi nutis! with inolstiin-. To a person In ; good health the cold, wet, dust laden i .ilr is not a menace unless indeed It ' carrlM germs. To one snfferlmr from I tuben ulosls. however, the case Is very different The trouble with tubercular nndother anaemic patients is their inability to j create heat. ’Uliey ns|ulre air that Is not only pure, but warm. To ex|>oso them to cold, damp air night and day Is unkind and cruel without any benefit. The pndileni for medical men ' treating tubercular patient- is to pro- , vide them with warm. dry. pure air j and to ex |«>se them as much ns posI slble to the rays of the sun.
