This sum includes $190,000,000 paid by the American Government to the families of soldiers and sailors who fell in the war, "An adequate amount of insurance," says the New York Insurance Press, "is now considered a matter of course, not only for the protection of families, but also for 'the protection and preser- vation of business enterprises." The great valueofgife insurance companies was clearly shown during the course of the influenza epidemic, which cost Canadian and American companies $93,000,000. Among the companies contributing to the re- lief of the people in that time of trial the Mutual Life of Canada was conspicuous in this country, about, three-quarters of a million beihg disbursed by us in excess of the normal losses. There is little reason, therefore, for wonder that this Company has received so many applications for insur- ance, the amount of business written this year being double that received in 1918, " Be a Mutualist" The Mutual Life of Canada ONTARTS, Roughion, District Agent, Kingston, Ont. #04 8.

"We are agents in Canada for Baldwins, Lid, and for a number of years, we haye been advising them to locate out here, or it would be only a matter of time before the business they had established in Canada would be a thing of the past.
