(Unit ed Press) President Wilson is the oldest executive to preside over the destinies of the United States for the lant GO years. When he is inaugurated for the second time March 5 he will lie sixty years old, a span of years that no president has crossed since the inauguration of Buchanan in 1857. Incidentally the president is one of the six oldest executives ever in the Wnite House. Previous to 1801 the men chosen to hold the reins of gov ernment generally reached a late per iod in life before their election. John Adams was 111 when inaugurated in 1707, Jackson also was (51 when first inaugurated in 1829. Benjamin was the oldest man ever chosen for the presidency, being (!8 at the time of his inauguration in 1841. Taylor was tvl and Uunchaiutn (i5, respectively, when j 'they were inaugurated respectively, j Aside from these all presidents have lieen yoanger thnn Woodrow Wilson when entering the White House.

ONLY WMFItED KINGSTON l',)llfts-Priniunl Dustin Farnum Winifred Kingston In A SON OF ERIN 99 ARCADE i ! Something New In Life Insurance A NEW Disability Clause issued on January 1st, 1917, by THE MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY, guarantees in event of total permanent disability an Annual Income of 10 per cent, of the face of the policy FOR LIFE, and the FULL FACE of the Policy AT DEATH. For instance on a $10,000.00 Life Policv under this provision premiums cease and $1,000.00 is GUARANTEED annually during the life time of the Insured, and $10,000.00 at death. The privilege is limited to $25,000.00 and is not retroactive. FULL PAR TICULARS ON REQUEST. MARVELOUS DIVIDEND ACHIEVEMENTS. In addition to the above it is well to remember that the constant aird of THE MUTUAL LIFE is to render insurance of the greatest secur ity at a minimum cost. Not necessarily at a rate under all other companies but at a cost so very low that the benefits of the OLDEST and STRONGEST Company can be within the reach of all. It is a matter of record that its ANNUAL DIVIDENDS on all premium policies, 3 per cent reserve, nre the largest. CHOOSING A COMPANY AND THE BEST PLAN. I have been in the insurance business for a long time, over twenty years in fact, and during this time I have sold more than four mil lion dollars worth of insurance and as a result I have accumulated a great deal of experience, and my business is to put this experience at the disposal of my clients so that they might not have to make over again the experiments which I have made, or to learn by their own experience, the lessons which I have learned for them. If YOU contemplate negotiating for Life Insurance I shall b- pleased !V-Ve JVTUn"it.cTe,w mc on the 8ubJcct. before taking any action in this YOUR Most Important Investment.
