Singing is one of the best preven- tives of a cold. The common cold, as most people are aware, is an inflammatory condi- tion of the lining of the upper respria- tory passages.

Dur- ing the year the payments to policy- holders and their beneficiaries in re- spect to Death Claims, Matured En- dowments, Profits, etc., amounted to $22,145,979, bringing the total so paid since the organization of the Company to $151,916,489. This amount exceeds the total business in force with the Company fourteen years ago, and af- fords stirring testimony to the degree in which its function is being fulfilled. Profits paid or allotted to policy- holders reached the amount of $4,417,- 068. 4,417;068.

The record is one in which the Direct- ors of the Campany express their own satisfaction—a sentiment which will be widely shared. It is interesting to note that the Company, in order to facilitate the constant quest for new business, and to maintain the. high standard of service to which they have accustomed their policyholders, have established a number of new divisions during the past year, and have further developments of a similar character in contemplation. N IJTTLE ONES Our Canadian winters are exceeding- ly xceedingly hard on the health of little ones. The weather is often so severe that the mother cannot take the little one out for an airing. The consequence is that baby is confined to overheated, badly ventilated rooms; takes cold and becomes cross and peevish, Baby's Own Tablets should be given to keep the little one healthy. They are a mild laxative which regulate the stomach and bowels and thus prevent colds. The Tablets are sold by medi- cine dealers or by mall at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. A Clergyman's Dilemma. A clergyman, introducing some new hymn books, gave the clerk a notice after the sermon- The clerk had one of his own to give with reference to baptism of infants. He announced: wAll those who have children they ish baptized, please send in their names at once." The clergyman, who was deaf, as- suming that the clerk was giving his notice, arose and said: "And I want to say for the benefit of those who haven't any, that they may be obtain- ed from me say day, between. 2 and 4 o'clock, the ones with the red backs at twenty-five cents and the ordinary lit- tle ones at fifteen cents."
