New Records Created by The Sun, Life of Carkada P ROGRESSIVE business methods, backed by forty- five years of fair -dealing, have achieved for the Sun Life of Canada during 1915 records that are new in the Canadian life assurance field. Assurances of over $34,000,000 issued and paid for in cash; Total Assurances in Force of over $250,000,000; Total Payments to Policy. holders since organization of more than $52,600,J00 ; Assets in excess of $74,000,000; a Cash Income of nearly $16,000,000 and an Undistributed Net Surplus of over $7,500,000 —all are high-water marks in the annals of Canadian life assurance. Their achievement maintains the established prestige of the Sun Life of Canada as A Leader Among the Life Companies of the Empire The following substantial and uniform increases registered during the past year clearly demonstrate the strength of the Company's position :"'"" Cash Income Surplus Distributed to Policyholder* Assets as at December 31st. . . $ 741,392165,423 f,64,1198174,655 $10,113223:776274 ((1145.3.8: . . 15,972,672 955,487 861,753 9-0,397 ( 6.1% INCREASE Net Surplus as at December 31st. . 0„50:3,79_4 1,041,797 t 16 re Total Payment; to Policyholders . 7,129,479 965,10..

No tea table is complete without a lemon dish. Plunging soiled linen into boiling water will set the stains. It pays better to buy regular scrub clothes than to use up 'old rags.

We need- not be careful, Bishop Mercier proceeds, to do homage to our foe on the seore of his conviction that unbroken seriousness befits the busi- ness of war. On the contrary, I be- lieve it to be the main cause of his in- humanity, the prolific source of his cruelties and barbarisms. His dark, brooding intensity finds no relief and feeds upon itself. And his loss is no less palpable in times of. peace. For a nation which lacks a faculty for laughing lightly, irresponsibility and irrepressibly when occasion presents itself, misses much of the fullness of which human life is capable, and narrows the range of his intellectual as well as of its once bional aetieities. • Some men no sooner get a job than they begin to kick for a day off.
