BOWMAN, M.P.-FEATU&E9 OF THE REPORT
COMMENTED ON,
The 25th annual meeting of the Ontario
Mutual Life Assurance Co. was held in the
Town Hall, Waterloo, on Thursday, May
23rd. The attendance was representative,
and inoluded a number of thepolioy-holders,
in addition to the directors and the prinoi-
pal agents of the company in the Dominion.
The meeting was marked• by such a degree
of harmony and smoothness as spoke well
fbr the manner in which its business is
oonduoted. The reports were,exoeeding sat-
isfactory, and everything went to show
that the prospects of this well-known and
well-established company are in every way
bright.
The chair was occupied by the President,
L E. Bowman, M.P., who was assisted by
Mr William Hendry, the company's Man-
ager.
It was moved by Alfred Hoskin, Q C., of
Toronto, and seconded by Rev. Theo.
Spetzy D.D., of Berlin, President of St
W
Jerome's College, "That W. H. Riddell, the
Secretary of the company, be the Secretary
of this meeting," which was carried. Sir
Bowman read the report of the directors.
and the financial statement which was as

the reverse, requiring a larger one. The
reason for this change was that the direotors
expeoted that in the ,near future the Gov-
ernment would ineiet on all companies hold-
ing a 4 per cent. reserve, The direotors
had decided to antioipate the aotion of the
Government, and provide for a 4 per pent.
reserve at onoe. It was, he said,. to the
credit of the company, and an evidence 'of
good, sound management, that they were
able to make this change, transferring from
the total surplus no lees a sum than $117,-
231, in order to make good the higher re-

distribution to policy -holders in reduction
of their premium, as heretofore.

The total assets of the company as at the close

Dominion insurance department as security to
our policy holders is $2,566,560, leaving a surplus
of assets over liabilities amounting to $277,-

3117,231 will have to be transferred from the
surplus to the reserve, leaving a balance of
$160,416.74 at the credit of our surplus account,
which will enable us to continue our liberal
distribution to policy holders without any dimi-

claims." He urged the ointinnanoe of the
present policy of the company, the avoid-
ance of anything like epeoalative insur-
ance, and of all attempts toseeure too great
apparent prosperity. He believed that "in
medias, res" was best, that we should etiok
in the middle course, and aim at steady
growth rather than at the ephemeraldashes
that characterised different companies.
On the other side of the line they said
"boom and bust." • This company did not
want to boom and they did not want to
bust. Laughter and applause.
People sometimes are anxious for more
liberal polioiee. The polioies of the Ontar-
io are now nearly as liberal as the first
polioy ever issued in 1610. That policy
was absolutely an unconditional one. It
was a case of payment of premium and
healthy r P ince of Ontario During the death on the one side and payment of poll -
would be .unwise to slant our eyes to the
possibility of fraud in connection with life
insurance. There was the recent Hender-
ehott trial at St. Thomas and other cases,
which he mentioned, on . tliis and on the
other side of the line. It was the duty of
insurance oompaniee to the public and to
themselves to do all in their power to pre-
vent the possibility of such frauds being
perpetrated. He also strongly opposed child.
insurance, unless it could be very strictly
regulated, as throwing too strong a tempta-
tion in the way of poor parents to commit
primes.
It was then moved by Mr Sipprell, local
Manager for the Martine Provinces, "that
this meeting has great pleasure in tender-
ing a hearty vote of thanks to the Presi-
dent, Vice-Preeidents and Directors for the
care they have shown in promoting and
.safe• guarding the company's interests dur-
ing the past year."
Mr Sipprell in supporting his motion
$2,693,424 said that down by the sea, whence he name,
2,866,559
there was amongst the policy -holders loy-
alty to and confidence in the management,
of the company, to which he himself paid a
high tribute. The company had many ad•
vantages over its competitors. It was not
by accident that the rate of interest obtain-
ed by the Ontario Life over a 5 year period
was larger than that of any other leading
company in Canada. It had been almost
6 per cent. To be exact, it was 5.94 per
cent., and the highest obtained by any
other company was 5.87 per cent. The
earnings from interest duriug the past
five years exceeded the death claims by
nearly $40,000, wnich was very gratifying
indeed.
He instituted some instructive compar-
isons between the business of the Ontario
and some of its leading competitors, ex-
tending over a period of five years from
1890 to 1894 inclusive, as follows :-
rook

small bossiness in Quebec, and while it was
a little more expensive to do business there,
owing to the high taxes imposed on insar-
anoe bompanies, they had decided to con-
tinue business in that Province, as there
were prospects of doing a good business
there in the future. In conclusion the
President said the report, the adoption of
which he had mach pleasure in moving,
was in all respeots ae eatiefaotory as any
that had ever before been submitted to the
policy -holders of the oompany.
Mr Robert Melvin, Second Vioe-Presi-
dent of the company, seconded the report.
The report, was, he said, on the whole, a
very satisfactory one, or, to use a good old
Scotch phrase, "It mioht hae been wanr."
We instituted a number of comparisons
ith last year, which showed that it might
have been a great deal "waur;" in fact,
that it compared very favorably with its
predecessors, notwithstanding the hard
times."

In commenting on these figures, Mr Mel-
vin pointed out that they showed a very
senceoreging state ofeffairs,,_,The_ retio.,gf'..
increase in assets ivaa equal la that of any
other company doing business. The de-
crease in the running expenses was most
satisfactory, especially when it was consid-
ered that there had been an increase in the
insurance of over $1,000,000. As to the
amount to be distributed to polioy-holders,
Mr Melvin explained that they would have
been in a position to distribute even a larg-
er amount, but be was of• the opinion that
in the past all companies had been giving
too mach. They had this year been en-
abled to add over $117,000 to the reserve,
which was just as much profit as if they
had given it to the policy -holders, and they
had notwithstanding this},.- increased the
dividend by nearly $7,000. "
Mr Melvin then read a statement of the
cash surplus paid to policy -holders in re-
duction of their premiums daring the last
ten years, which showed that in this re-
spect there had been a steady impr7vement.

The business in force of two of the above
Companies largely exceeds that of the Ontario,
but the amount of profits earned by them is
considerably less than the amount earned by it.
In other important respeots he showed that the
Ontario would. be found to compare favorably
with other companies. The high character and
integrity of the management, the
sou
r finan-
cial standing of the company, as well
principle of mutuality as between the individu-
al policy holder and the membership as a whole
should nerve his fellow -workers in the field
with redotiblod efforts to extend the benefits of
life ineuranoe in their respective agencies.
Ho was sure he voiced the feelings of every
agent when he stated they had received the
greatest possible benefit from the two days' con-
ference with the miinagement, under the able
presidency of the company's superintendent
Mr Hodgins, and on behalf of the agency staff
he desired to thank the Manager and officers
for the uniform kindness and courtesy shown
to them on that occasion.
Mr Thos. Dickson. County Crown Attorney,
Walkerton, in seconding this resolution, con-
gratulated the agents of the company on the
quality of the risks taken. Tho true way to ar-
rive at the position of a company was to consid-
er the relation between the amount of death
claims and the amount:of insurance carried,
and, in this light the affairs of the Ontario were
exceedingly satisfactory.
On motion of Mr J. L. Wideman, Messrs Geo.
Wegenast and John Killer were appointed
scrutineers for the election of four directors in
place of those retiring. The balloting which
followed resulted in the unanimous re-election
of B. M. Britton. Q. C. Kingston; Francis C.
Bruce, Hamilton; John Marshall, London; and
J. Kerr Fisken, Toronto.
On motion of Mr B. M. Britton, Messrs Henry -
F. J. Jackson, of Brockville, and J. M. Scully,
of Waterloo, were re -appointed Auditors of the
company for the current year.
Mr E. P. (lenient, barrister, Berlin, moved
"that the hearty thanks of the directors and of
the policy holders present at this meeting aro
hereby tendered to the Manager, Secretary, of-
ficers and agents of this company, for the faith-
ful arid efficient services they have rendered
the company, in their respective capacities,
during the past year." He paid an eloquent
tribute to t
courtesy oftheaManager,
Secretary and other
members of the head office stat, and spoke in
the highest terms of the energy, honesty and
straightforwardnes of the company's agents,
on whose labors in the field so much of the suc-
cess and future prosperity of the Ontario de-
pended. Mr Robert Baird, P.M., Kincardine,
also made a few very laudatory remarks in
support of the motion, which was carried amid
rounds of applause.
Mr Wm. Hendry, the Manager of the com-
pany, replied to the last resolution, thanking
the meeting on behalf of those referred to in it,
and explaining some details in reference to the
necessity for and purpose of reserves in lite as-
surance. The directors mot subsequently and
re-elected Mr I. E. Bowman, M.P., President;
Mr C. M. Taylor, First Vice -President, and Mr
Robert Melvin, Second Vice President of the
company for the ensuing year.
D. STEWART, of Stratford, is the gene-
ral agent for this County.
As to the quality of the securities of the
company, he said that the directors had
gone over them oarfully, and had found
them to be of the very best possible kind.
They were riot speculative in any sense of
the word. The company could have, per-
haps, secured a higher rate of interest had
they taken less reliable securities, but they
had steadily adhered to the policy of taking
only mortgage securities, municipal deben-
tures, and loans to policy -holders.
In comparing the profits of the Ontario
Life with other companies, Mr Melvin
asked his hearers to remember that many
of these companies did a large "tontine"
business, in which the profits were held
until the end of theeriod. These profits
were put in the reports as surplus, though
they were really liabilities. There was no
way of distinguishing these profits, the
Government made no distinction, and eo it
was not possible to arrive at a correct esti-
mate of the real surplus of such companies.
He pointed out that, both in England and
in the United States, the mutual com-
panies were the strongest and largest. He
said that there wan no occasion for stock
in an insurance Company. That mutual
companies were stable, the history of the
Ontario proved. The amount of stock in a
proprietory company was a mere hazard.
Take for example the Canada Life, with
the paid up capital of $125,000. What
strength did thie give, with the company's
insurance in force of $66,807,397? It was
the same with other so-called proprietory
companies in Canada and in the United
States. He also instanced the Equitable of
New York, whose paid-up capital is only
3100,000, and insurance in force of $918,-
556,733.
"There is no more need for stook in an
insurance company than for three wheels
in a cart," said Mr Melvin, in conclusion,
and, amid hearty applause, the report was
carried ananimonely.
Mr B. M. Britton, Q.(0., of Kingston, in
supporting the motion, after referring to
the successful career of the company, said
that he regarded the rather slim attendance
of policy -holders as a good sign, as it show-
ed that they were satisfied with the man-
agement of the board. Had there been die-
satiefaotion with the manner in which the
company was being managed there would
have been a large attendance; the policy-
holders would have thronged the hall to in-
sist on the dismissal of the board. To show
the magnitude of the operations of the com-
pany, he pointed ontthatit'gathered in dur-
ing the year from all tlources an average of
$1,800 a day in oath, and that eaoh day it
paid out 1082 to its living members for en-
dowments, surplus, etc., and 8400 in death
Increase in surplus, during 1894....8 51,527 53
Increase in reserve during 1894.... 235,578 00
Increase In assurance during 1894.. 1,016,591 00
Total assurance in force 18,767,698 00
Mr Bowman, in commenting on the re-
port, explained some of its features. Dur-
ing the year there had been issued 2,102 new
poli!iee, making the nese business for the
year amount to a little less than three mil-
lions. This was not quite so mnoh new
business as there had been issued in 1893,
but for this there were several reasons.
There had been a considerable degree of
financial depression; money had not been
so plentiful. Some of the agents of the
company had also been changed, and it
took some time for the new men to get well
ander way.
Howeyer, the amount of new business was,
be Said, satisfactory. The success of a
` company did not consist so mach in the
volume of business done as in its careful
selection, and in the returne to policy
holders.
The preminm income for the year was
3627,131.18, (practically for 11 months,
agency collection for Deo. 1894 not being
included) which, however, was considerably
in excess of the previous year's revenue
from this source.
The assets amounted to a little lees than
33,000,000, inaving a surplus of assets over
liabilities of 3277,647.
Mr Bowman explained the olanee in the
eeport referring to the proposed ohange in
the valuation of the policies from an Hm.
(healthy male) four and one-half per cent.
table, to the actuaries' 4 per cent. At first
sight thie might seem to require a smaller
reserve, but as a matter of fact it was just

COLD IN;THE HEAD AND HOW TO
CURE IT.
One of'the most unpleasant and danger -
ons maladies that afflicts Canadiangat this
season is cold in the head. Unpleasant,
because of the dull, heavy heaeache, in-
flammed nostrils and other disagreeable
symptoms accompanying it; and danger -
one, because if neglected it develops into
catarrh, with its disagreeable hawking and
spitting. foul breath frequent loss of taste
and smell, and in many cases ultimately
developing into consumption. Nasal Balm
is the only remedy yet discovered that will
instantly relieve cold in the head and cures
in a few applications, while its faithful use
will effectually eradicate the worst case of
catarrh. Capt. D. H. Lyon, president of
the C.P.R. Car Ferry, Prescott, Ont., says
-"I used Nasal Balm for a prolonged case
of cold in the head. Two applications ef-
fected a cure in less than 24 hours. I
would not take $100 for my bottle of Nasal
Balm, if I could not replace it." Sold by
