i H THE DRYDEN OBSERVER "ee FEBRUARY 94th, 1088. SUN LIFE REPORT SHOWS SUBSTAN- TIAL GAIN + In a year when business state- ments are, on the whole, far from cheering, the published ex- perience of life insurance makes heartening reading. 'While other investments have too often proved disappointing, every policy held in our life in-| surance companies is still worth one hundred cents on the .Jollar,| with substantial additions in ae-| cumulating dividends. The steady flow of insuranee| funds into productive industry is one of the greatest mainstays of business today. But {few realize the extent of this finan- cial support in the case of in- dividuals. Payments to poliey holders and . their dependants «uring the year, for instance, by the Sun Life of Canada, whose statement appears in another column, climbed to over $108.- 000,000. A portion of this -rep- resents money that the assured could obtain only on the value of their policies to meet the special exigencies of a distress- ing period. These and other conditions during the past three or four years have subjected life insur- ance companies to a most exact- ing test. The war and the in- fluenza epidemic, by abnormally increasing mortalities, produced | a situation against which human foresight could scarcely provide. The + financial catastrophe by which they were so closely fol- lowed created conditions that only the strongest institutions could withstand. Yet, during the three years in question, the business of the Sun Life Company increased by near- ly five hundred million dollars and its assets by forty-three mil- lion dollars. The number of its| ~ policyholders that period, by over 200,000 and now amounts to nearly a million. This and reassuring to the man in the street. One explanation of the ability of an insurance company to meet all its obligations under such trying conditions is that its ob- ligations are so scientifically es- timated that it is able to provide for all expenditures out of or- dinary revenue. This renders it unnecessary to dispose of assets during a period of depressed prices, and makes the fluctuation of security prices a matter of no special concern. "The report of the Sun Life refers to the fact that the total increased, during] resiliency under| abnormal strain is both amazing! t 1 | | IN MEMORIAM | | t 1 SHERWOOD--In loving memory | | of our dear Daughter Edith and Sister Ida who left us | suddenly February 19th, 1924. | { Gone from us, but not forgotten, | Never shall their memory fade, | Sweetest thoughts shall ever ling- er, ' Round the spot where they are laid.

(Continued from Page 2) uting animal milk was designed for immediate consumption with- out extraneous handling by an intermediate agent. Man has applied it to his own uses, ai in so doing, too often overlooks the possible dangers associated with its new role. The most easily appreciated change noted in milk is souring, which occurs when it is allowed to stand in an unfavourable en- vironment, following its removal from the cow. Souring is brought about by the rapid increase of | certain otherwise harmless or- | ganisms or germs known i lactic acid bacilli. i SHOULD PASTEURIZATION | which may be spread in this manner. In support of these statements the following reference to speci- | fic epidemies of diseases is sub- as} Souring renders the milk un-| attractive to the consumer, changes the composition of ecer- tain of its ingredients and in- fluences its usefulness for feed- ing to young children.* Souring| can be definitely postponed by the destruction of the bacilli by heat or by retaining the milk at a temperature in which these germs will not grow. There are three dangerous sources of contamination of milk, fi those from barnyard dirt 2 te., second, germs ' as drawn from the third, disease derived cow producing from the milker or handler or from exposure. The {first of these sources needs no elabora- tion since the germs of tuber- culosis of cattle are found in ¢OW manure. The second is of importance because cattle suffer from ecer- tain diseases common to both { man and themselves. The or- ganisms responsible for these diseases are found in the milk supply when it is withdrawn from the lacteal glands, or they may obtain entry as the result of careless milking, or unsani- tary enviromment, and, finding milk a favourable medium for growth, may develop into for- midable numbers before the un- treated milk is consumed by the human. Bovine tuberculosis, un- dulant fever and septic sore throat are the commonest of these disabling diseases. At least 13% of our tuberculosis in children is of bovine origin and is aequired as the result of the drinking of infected milk. Data compiled by research workers at the Hospital for Sick Children. at Toronto, has elearly demon- strated the relationship between the use of unpasteurized milk from cattle infected with tuber- culosis and tuberculous glands and other forms of surgical tuberculosis in children. Seventy-five human cases of un- dulant fever which is a disease of cattle were reported in On- tario last year. his is an in- crease of 100% over the previous year. To.date, the mumber re- ported in 1931 gives every evi- dence of a further increase. The third source is also very important. Milk may be made harmful from exposure to organ- from contamination with or utensils; from organisms on the hands or from sneezing or coughing of the milker or milk handler. Scarlet fever, diphther- | ia, septic sore throat, typhoid | fever and paratyphoid fever are the commonest of the diseases isms which are to be found in| the milk containers employed; | the | water used to clean the bottles | mitted but for the sake of brev- ity, only one example of each is quoted. No epidemic of secar- let fever has been directly traced to milk contaminated by the or- ganism responsible for this disease in Ontario although iso- lated cases have been noted. Attention is drawn, however, to the - outbreak occurring in New Jersey, in 1927. In 1925, eleven cases of diphtheria in Vinelands, Ontario, were found to be due to an infected milk handler. In 1930, in Belleville, 18 cases of typhoid fever with three deaths, were caused by the contamina- tion of the milk by a milker who was a typhoid carrier, and who was employed on the farm of one of the producers. The outbreak of more than 400 cases of septic sore throat in Kirkland Lake, Ontario, in December, 1930, def- initely established the possibility of unpasteurized milk as a medium for the spread of this disease. In October, . 1926, in Broadstairs, England, an epi- demic of poliomyelitis was traced to the contamination of the milk supply of one dealer by an ap- parent carrier. In the summer of 1931, paratyphoid fever, diree- tly traceable to contaminated milk, occurred in the City of St. (Catharines, Ontario, in epidemic proportions. Four hundred and fifty-seven persons were reported as being affected by this disease. #*Fresh, pure milk, soured by the addition of an excess of these | organisms, may be used upon a | as al for | certain | physician's prescription, temporary feeding mixture infants suffering from intestinal disorders.

That is to say, that we sold seeds in packets, of equal weight, and equal quality (if indeed, not better) than the 10¢ commission goods. We took the risk of the out and out sale, and we did surprisingly well. And not only did we cut the price in half, by so doing, but we did even better than that. We took the catalogue method and gave 25 packets for $1.00. We are placing our order for these seeds now, both packet and bulk. We state in the fullest sincerity, that anyone foolish enough to send away for seeds is losing money. Why not figure it out yourselves, that the pos- tage spent on seeds could easily be our profit. That moreover, ROYAL PURPLE SEEDS aie good seeds. This is a foreword of the seed business. -We do not expect much planting for a month or so. Meantime, to repeat: We are featuring PURPLE SEEDS in packets and in bulk. ROYAL 'We have increased our range of bulk seeds, even to lettuce and radishes. We are aiming to give as good service locally, as you find by sending away, and at less prices. Our packets are 5c each or 25 for $1.00. We are busy Stock-taking, which will conclude March 1st. This to a certain extent ties our energies, and some- wkat robs our attention to details, We anticipate that the month of March will show a great number of surprises. We have a somewhat skele- ton vision of what we intend to do. With Inventory cut of the way, the details will be completed. Many of these, by force of circumstances to our disadvantage, and to your benefit. A VERY SPECIAL SALE OF MEN'S SUITS We have between 40 and 50 of these on the racks. 'We want the money for them, in fact we need it. There is a little of everything in the assortment, and a fairly good range of sizes. With about three excep- tions, they are two pant suits. These are not style suits, because we are not asking style or fashion prices. They are ordinary clothes, for the ordinary man, with the ordinary amount of scarce dollars. Put this special sale puts them into the extraordinary class. We are taking 30% off their already low price. Just for fun, take a look af a rough tweed suit, with two pairs of trousers, yes, we said (2) pairs, for $7.00. Not much more than the price of overalls. Anyhow, we wish you would look at them. OUR USUAL SPRING DATE SPECIAL We always plan once or twice a year to give a picnic to those who love dates. Not about Julius Caesar or Cartier, or Confederation, but Asia Minor fruit. Anyhow, we have arriving half a ton of dates, fresh and juicy. Price 5¢ per pound. Maybe Saturday. Anyhow Tuesday. We are furthermore putting a thousand pounds of Rome Beauty Apples on sale for 5c per pound. As long as the quantity lasts. | Alfred Pitt Lt.
